    IEM ??

    +1 for the Shure 215's. Pretty rugged, just replaced the cable for the first time after 2+ years of gigging and running with them, and the cable was only $25. Of course, multi-driver 'phones will have even better sound quality, but for $90-ish bucks, it's difficult to beat the 215's.

    Anyone perfected a "Big Country" sound - MXR129 Pitch transposer effect?

    I've actually gotten really, really close I think, certainly enough to fool the masses. But I'm on a much older fw, so when I update to 13 I may have a go at it again and post the result. So why the heck am I posting here? Just showing the BC love :) Btw, a lot of the songs don't use the MXR...

    How to reamp within the Axe FX? (with interface and Pro Tools)

    Honestly, I just re-amp through S/PDIF. It saves all the hassle and is really easy on Pro Tools. Just route the dry track out via S/PDIF, create a new audio track, set the input to S/PDIF and record enable and you're good to go. I've found that when I used the Axe as the interface, it would...

    Axe FX II + Roland VG-99 = Axe FX III

    I've been doing that for awhile, but with the VG-8 and 88. I have outputs from a Switchblade switcher going into the back of the Axe to run this setup, and it works brilliantly. I just wish I could get the 8's rackmounted, right now I've got them on shelves which is the best I could rig up. Just...

    Simple Minds song/tone

    Waterfront sounds pretty good, but I think I'm not using the proper guitar for the tone. What were you playing when you wrote the patch?

    All my tones sound muffled and dimensionless

    Maybe your studio monitors are out of phase?

    Can the Axe-FX II record into PT 9 via USB?

    Webb, it does include major revisions, otherwise it would be pointless! They don't charge for the 9.0X's and the like. And yes I'm sure about that, since I've got 10 now and two weeks ago I had 9, and my bank account remains unaffected! :) So here's the process I went through: Bought 9...

    Can the Axe-FX II record into PT 9 via USB?

    In order to make PT a 64-bit application, RTAS and TDM have to go. But I'd much rather have 64-bit, so that all my sample VI's can have all the RAM they desire. PT 10 is great. Clip Gain is fantastic. The AAX format is a much better format for a variety of reasons. Remember you can use...

    Can AXE II do this effect that EHX does

    Clarky, Bill does great things with his VG-99 as well, which I know you have. Head over to the vguitarforums...

    Axe Fx 2 as sampler?

    I've got my VG-8 and 88 in Input 2 (I switch between them or mix them with a switcher) and my real guitar in Input 1. That way I can run them parallel or process them however I want. Easy! It's especially cool to layer, say, and acoustic guitar over an electric patch. Nice.

    Trs unbalanced vs xlr balanced cables for recording direct.

    Seconded. I just run SPDIF out and get no coloration from using mic pre's or having to run unbalanced (on a 002R and an RME Babyface). You have to record at 48k, however, which is not a huge deal but can be mildly annoying if all of your sessions (like mine) are in 44.1. Just gotta make a new...

    Just got AxeII... wow, fan noise.

    I think we're seeing unit-to-unit variation. I expected mine to be loud, but although I can hear it, it's not very loud at all (certainly nothing compared to the ridiculous roar of my SLA-2 power amp!!). I'm listening in a quiet studio environment. The other guitarist in my band will have one...

    Axe FX II "wet" & "dry" simultaneous recording & Pro Tools 9 problems

    New Axe II User + Introduction

    Get out of my mind! :) I use a Radial as well. But I don't have that many amps to use, mainly a couple of Fenders and a Vox. I mainly use it for bass through an SVT, or running drum room mics into an amp and, you guessed it, using the spring reverb on them. It's gonna be fun running different...

    New Axe II User + Introduction

    Sounds like you and I are of like minds (NS-10's). I feel much better now and am definitely going with the II. I only ever use 48Khz in occasional TV work, so I'll probably just run my outs into my pre's (great river) in the studio and go straight to the house for gigs- on gigs that actually...

    New Axe II User + Introduction

    Hey Kato... I found your post quite interesting, as in I was on the fence about getting a II or an Ultra. I'm not interested in replicating other people's sounds, or 'classic' tones, so much as getting new and interesting sounds for use in projects as well as my band. Mainly, I was leaning...

    Analog vs. USB recording in Axe fx II!

    If you're using Pro Tools, all you'd have to do is make a new 48K session and import the files you're sent. Record your Axe tracks, and then do a Save Session Copy and tic that you want to make the copy at 44.1. Or, you could select all the regions, and using Export Regions As Files, select 44.1...

    Analog vs. USB recording in Axe fx II!

    Is the first wav still the USB one? It seems that to me if there is any difference at all, I seemed to perceive slightly more low end in the USB one. However, if it's louder, that's why. Now here's the thing, the difference is ridiculously (to me) neglible, so as to be a non-factor. The only...

    Axe II With Macbook Pro - Protools 8 and Digi -002R - Advice Please

    ADAT That would've been amazing. You could then use a myriad of devices to create a digital switching effects loop thingy if it was addressable as an effects block. My head is exploding just trying to type that in a way that makes sense!! I guess I can dream... o.

    I/O capabilities of Axe-FX II?

    This would be such an amazing feature- but is it even possible? As it stands I'm thinking about running a switcher in the fx loop to run the IO's of my daw to access my plug-ins. Why do I do these things, why?!!! :)
