    Axe-Fx III Firmware 22.00 Release

    ah, yeah i was expecting to be able to solo an individual mic and it retain the set volume. thanks!

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 11.00 Public Beta 1

    Unfortunately it is not conveniently located due to fan noise and being in a recording studio control room.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 11.00 Public Beta 1

    That makes sense. Perhaps a quick link button on the cab edit section of axe edit to quickly move between the imp selection? Just a thought.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 11.00 Public Beta 1

    True, but in the studio the hardware is quite a reach from the regular desk position -- primarily due to fan noise.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 11.00 Public Beta 1

    That makes sense, but will be very inconvenient when auditioning cabs having to jump back and forth, unfortunately.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 11.00 Public Beta 1

    youre right, i was confused by the fact that its in the amp block not the cab block. shouldnt this choice be made in the cab block where the cab is chosen instead of the amp block?

    Importing IRs Into User Banks

    In case it helps someone else, I think I found the problem: If AxeEdit is open while transferring via the Mini Utility, it corrupts the files. AxeEdit must be closed and it seems to work fine.

    Latency of Axe-Fx II vs Axe-Fx III?

    Axefx 2 as interface vs mw1, or other equivalents

    while they are certainly not bad, compare to an apogee, lynx aurora, or better. . . axefx converters are fine, but not on the level of the aforementioned. but then it would be ridiculous to assume that they would be.

    Muse - Axe FX 2

    i couldnt disagree more. the kemper does better with one sound, but the afx is much more versatile and tweakable. i have both, so im not biased -- each has its strengths. the kemper does have a little more in the authenticity department, but at the expense of not being able to extensively...

    Use two amps, less quality?

    so it internally oversamples and then downsamples to output at 48k? if so, it doesnt seem like much of a stretch to have the output able to be run at higher sampling rates via AES to solve problems for those of us who record at higher rates. play one, you might change that score to 1-1...

    I Thought The "Tourette's Tuner" Was To Be Fixed In 7.0

    Recording session - 2 stereo one mono dry at 96k

    the VirusTI2 keyboard connects via USB and has a VST plugin that both controls the keyboard and passes audio over USB in the host directly. one connection, USB, through the plugin, does everything. remote control, multiple ins and outs, whole deal. . . simply and easily.

    AXE FX 2: changing valves for extra tonal possibilities

    the RME is merely for AES, not conversion or master clock. and it's most certainly top level for that function. the HDSPe AES does not include SRC, there are models that do. to suggest that the HDSPe AES is semi-pro is just ignorant. the pro users you cite do not primarily use the axe-fx in...

    What The Hell?

    even Lavry agrees that ~60khz is optimal, which of course is higher than 44.1 and 48. so, just for sake of argument, even with recorded audio (which is not really my contention because the difference is, as you stated, really slight on quality converters) 96 is superior in quality on capable...
  75. shawnguess

    What The Hell?

    and you could google "dick" if you like, that seems applicable in your case. glad you like 44.1, stick with that if it works for you. i prefer 96.
  76. shawnguess

    What The Hell?

    yes, because the benefit is in the creation of the tone of the instrument, not in the final sample rate.

    ah, theres that helpful courteousness i spoke about earlier.
  78. shawnguess

    What The Hell?

    and you will find that those arguments are with regard to recorded audio, not internal processing of vst effects and, more importantly, vst instruments -- where it is pretty well understood that there is a significant sonic benefit when the plugins in question are coded to take advantage of the...

    unfortunately, the afx is halfway there. the sounds are great, its just the connectivity that kind of sucks. itd be great if it sounded terrible as well, then itd be a complete loss, oh well, move on. but to have it halfway there and dangled in front of you is just annoying.
  85. shawnguess

    What The Hell?

    absolutely, i actually have several great pre's that have the split already built in. its more for the reamping part so that i can just use the axefx as a digital insert (via AES) for fidelity (no extra conversion roundtrips), lower latency, and convenience.

    name a device made in the past 5 years other than the axefx with an AES IO that is only capable of 48khz operation. i think that should be a safe assumption.

  91. shawnguess

    What The Hell?

    actually, i found that they sounded better at lower resolutions due to the jitter introduced at higher rates -- tighter image. how about the presonus firepod? it does 96k for just a few hundred bucks and no one has complained about the sound of the first periphery album.

  94. shawnguess

    What The Hell?

    very good points. my main problem is that i want to record dry (for editing) and then effectively reamp through the afx. doing so digitally without all the extra conversion would sound better (even if marginally so), be easier, and yield less latency if i wanted to track the dry signal while...
  95. shawnguess

    What The Hell?

    if ideal is 64k, even consumer level devices run up to 96k, why not go ahead with 96k? 48k seems a poor choice given that statement, ya know? i mean, its a $2500 device, m-audio delta's can run at 96k.
