    Movie Review: Tenet

    the movie has a really interesting concept but it is way too hard to grasp in the first viewing. Not gonna lie, this is the first movie that I have to watch youtube visualizations to try to understand some of the concepts. I still dont quite fully understand it though. The youtube vids are...

    Implemented Artists' Virtual Signature Amps in Axe-Fx

    I'm aware of this too, I guess the Thordendal model in the axefx is closest to this concept. I would imagine this to be more like the artist telling fractal say, they want a ballsy tone, high gain that's not hairy, bright but not harsh and fizzy, and then cliff would just develop the virtual amp...

    Implemented Artists' Virtual Signature Amps in Axe-Fx

    yup, that's the whole idea. Make amp models that are not based off real amps, and really go nuts in just recreating the best tones possible.

    Implemented Artists' Virtual Signature Amps in Axe-Fx

    Here's my idea: Get artists on board to make virtual signature amps in the AxeFX that is exactly how they would like their tones to be, regardless of whether is it modeled based of a real amp or if its even possible to be made in reality. Kind of like how Neural DSP is doing it with their...

    Killswitch Engage Tone Match!

    Like what brad has said, I doubt this preset works anymore. The best you could do is to tonematch this track again with the AxeFX 3, I was using a Recto Orange Vintage model on the AxeFx 2.

    SPDIF signal clipping at input

    Just recently got the AxeFX3, have been using the AxeFX 2 and AX8 and am no foreigner to using SPDIF for reamping, recording and monitoring in my Saffire Pro 40. I am currently facing a problem where if I send a signal of -6dB or louder from my DAW, it will result in clipping in the incoming...

    Fishman Fluence Tosin Abasi Pickups vs BKP Black Hawk (Boden OS7)

    Just got my Fishman installed in my Strandberg Boden OS7! Did a demo and shootout with my old BKP Black Hawks that were previously in the guitar. The clarity on these are amazing and the amount of versatility with the 3 voicing makes for so tonal options! The demo maybe a bit biased towards the...

    Reamped tone always sounds worse

    Like what Jason has pointed out, you're hearing stuff. Honestly I'm quite surprised that both takes can even cancel out this well, which pretty much rules out either takes being "more compressed"

    Reamped tone always sounds worse

    I've done a quick recording and a recorded a video of me phase cancelling and even tonematching the reamped takes to the axefx direct take. The guitar playing is crappy as I've literally done it in one take. My chain is: Guitar -> Countryman DI -> Saffire Pro 40 Analog In , Saffire Pro 40 SPDIF...

    Reamped tone always sounds worse

    How are you getting your DI back into the AxeFX? I don't see any reamp box being used. I usually have no problems with reamping, and I do it all the time but I do it with the SPDIF out from my Saffire Pro 40. Heck, in fact i don't even plug into the AxeFX anymore due to my workflow for...

    Return to footswitch screen

    If I'm tweaking on the AX8 edit, tweaking parameters would move the AX8 screen away from the footswitch page, and I'm doing this and playing the guitar in between tweaks, having a switch or something allows me to switch back to the FS page without stopping what I'm playing.

    AxeFX still dead after 4 months

    I actually bought this 4 years back directly from Fractal and shipped here to SG when the Axe II was just released, way before there was any distributor for Fractal products here in SG.

    Honestly it was rather plug and play. I run my windows sounds at 48khz and my project files are always at 24/48khz. I'm using the spdif to record the dry tracks and to send it back into the axe. It's probably the cleanest way to get the dry DIs.
