    Perhaps, but that doesn’t explain why the up button will change banks, but the down button won’t.

    MFC-101 Error Help

    Howdy! So...MFC-101 has worked perfectly for years, then today it started getting stuck on the third setting of each bank. I can use "Up" to go to the next bank, and it will default to the third patch in that bank, but the "down" button will not go down to the next lower bank. The effects...

    There's probably a global way of doing it, but I'm not sure what it is. Also not sure why it doesn't load properly the first time...I read about this a couple of times in posts by Cliff, and it works.

    Use Axe Edit. On the Amp block, look for the name of the amp on the left...under "Effect Type." Click the up or down arrow next to it to select another amp, then go back. Save and viola!

    Any one else a little disappointed with the new FW/patches?

    This is why I posted the question...seems everyone is thrilled with it, but I still haven't been able to dial in sounds as good as what I had with FW 10. I'm also having issues with levels...some patches show output clipping where Sonar has a weak inputt and some patches are noticeably louder...
  14. W

    Any one else a little disappointed with the new FW/patches?

    I might try that, but it says its morefor cleaning up cabs. I reloaded FW 11.3, but kept my patches...not sure what I think yet, other than FW 11.3 has level disparities in a few places.

    Any one else a little disappointed with the new FW/patches?

  16. W

    Any one else a little disappointed with the new FW/patches?

    I'm going back to FW 10 to hear how different things are to me. One change seems to be that when I try different tone stacks (for example), the levels between the different models are significantly different, forcing me to go make other changes to try to compensate for the jumps. I...

    Any one else a little disappointed with the new FW/patches?

    Most sound "closed" or small, and not open and round. I know this is not particularly helpful, but the main problem is that patches just sound rather anemic. That could be part of it, but many patches just sound small and lifeless. I use quite a few, mainly Fender and Marshall types. I...

    Any one else a little disappointed with the new FW/patches?

    Input is set to barely clip into the red, gate is set to just cut off ambient hiss, output is set to ensure no output clipping, etc. I normally set Axe FX II to run into Sonar X2. Unless this FW is totally different, the same steps I've always used have resulted in great sounding patches. I...

    I love Axe FX II, I really do, BUT... every FW change I some great patches lose their luster while some new gems appear. So far with FW 11.3 and the new patches, I can dial in some "alright" tones, but nothing wonderful. I've downloaded several from AxChange, tweaked several, loaded old...

    Good problem to have...

    Yesterday I decided to write some new patches for FW 10. I only completed three because I kept playing each one for about an hour. It sounded too good to just move along to the next patch. Not a bad problem to have!

    I'm having a little crisis in confidence...

    While you need to hear yourself at practice, the ultimate criterion is how you sound from the perspective of the audience, which means recording the practice from the mixer to evaluate the Axe FX. You should also try to monitor with in ear hearing protection phones, if possible.

    Anyone using Sonar Producer?

    Greg, Thank you very much for taking the time to help! I think it might be an issue with Firewire, which might also explain why Presonus went from the Firebox (firewire) to Audiobox (usb). I'm getting the audio going, but latency keeps creeping back up. I tried the WDK and MME drivers last...

    Anyone using Sonar Producer?

    An A/B comparison in the mix might be hard to hear, but I've compared one track to another and digital is a lot cleaner.

  43. W

    Anyone using Sonar Producer?

    Hmm...that might be my problem. I'd prefer not to use the Axe FX as an interface so I can save it for guitar use only. I've reverted back to using the audio out from the Axe FX, but then out of the blue it started haing noticeable latency. Perhaps today is not my day to record anything.

    I've been having some anomalies with 6.0...patches not initially loading, etc. not sure what might be causing your issue...is the cab block loaded? Also try turning the tone matching off. If there's too much distortion, turn down the amp distortion first, then the Big Muff.

    Getting a perfect balance between compressor pedal and noise gate

    I don't recommend using anything other than the input gate to kill hum. While playing you obviously don't need it and between songs either mute with your hands or what most people do is turn off the volume knob. Too high a gate setting can screw up your sound, so use sparingly. Apart from...

    Any tips for tone matching?

    Depending on the artist, you can find some reference to their amp settings on the web...sometimes that helps get you in the ballpark. Tone match works best the closer you can get, so pay particular attention to any control that affects tone, like the basee, mids, treble, but also the dampening...
  73. W
