    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.00 Public Beta (Cygnus X-3)

    Does a soft reset also reset advanced parameters that are not visible to the user ? I understand that the modeling code is updated with the firmware, but they could still be using old “not visible to user” parameters. Is a soft reset enough, or do we need a hard reset ?

    How much "wet" signal do you prefer to run?

    In a live context, I almost always disable any reverb, it’s just too much when the space has natural reverb. For delay, I usually am at 6-7% on clean sounds. For rhythm with gain, usually a mono delay around the same %. For solos, I’m up around 12%. I see many presets with 20-25% , that...

    Development with the next firmware

    I didn’t think much of gapless switching, but after experiencing it on the axe fx 3, it’s kinda hard to go back to gaps. That and the Brit 800 are the ones I hope will make it.

    Sennheiser G4 IEM - more gain with AFX3

    Just a thought. You are comparing perceived gain from a studio monitor to your IEM. That perception can change when speakers are tucked in your ear. Connect your IEM earpiece directly to the headphone out from the axe fx, leaving out the G4 unit entirely. My guess is you’ll still be hearing...

    Can hear DAW output in Out 1/Headphones, cannot hear it in Out 2/Monitors?

    The analog outs are only for zero latency monitoring. Recording is through USB via the aggregate device, so no unnecessary conversions. But it does require you to turn on the Apollo whenever you need to use the axe fx.
  18. toneseeker911

    Can hear DAW output in Out 1/Headphones, cannot hear it in Out 2/Monitors?

    I have the same setup and I found it more convenient to keep the Apollo as the primary monitor / headphone controller with its big knob, dim and mute functions. Route the analog outs from the axe fx to the Apollo and in UAD console , you can balance computer audio and the axe fx. In addition...

    5/10 minute preset build series - youtube - Fractal FM3

    A delay in between an amp - cab vs after the cab should all be the same I believe. As long as your cab is in stereo. Maybe the difference you are hearing is things collapsing to mono. Delaying an eq’d signal vs eq’ing delays, it’s all linear. In front of the amp is different because of gain...

    Brit 800 2204 vs 2203 thoughts

    The main riff from this Paul Gilbert song. Used the new JCM800-2203 boosted with the new Morning Glory pedal.

    LEAD VOLUME LEVELS

    I do 2.5 dB. The last sound guy said it’s crazy loud and I need to bring down my lead volume by 6 dB or more. Which would put it quieter than my rhythm. Unless I run across a competent sound person, I just pretend to fiddle with some knobs, but leave everything as is.

    Best way to connect the axe iii and interface to one set of monitors?
