Can Someone Tell me One Good Reason

A quick update; As suspected, utilizing Thunderbolt to connect the Apogee Symphony to the Mac and changing the clock source to AES/SPDIF. As soon as the unit was connected via Thunderbolt and the clocking changed, the digital pops and clicks disappeared. Haven't worked on re-amping yet...

Recommended Firmware Update: 11.03

After installing 11.o I was a bit disappointed with how the patches sounded. Soooo, since I was in the studio for two weeks recording acoustic I figured it could wait. Then, I got home and low and behold 11.3 magically appeared. Loaded it up and BAM, the Axe FX II sounds absolutely incredible...

Get Yer 11.0 Beta Here!

I am hearing the FW 11.0 includes a emulation called "KPA Mode". Basically, the unit freezes up when in Performance mode. Can anyone confirm? (Sorry, that was bad).

Can Someone Tell me One Good Reason

Unfortunately, Apogee Symphony does not allow itself to be clocked eternally in USB Mode. I believe one option for doing this is in Audio Interface Mode using Thunderbolt. Need to check into it a bit more. But with USB, can't do it. :(

Why the Axe FX II can't be set to slave off of a master clock? All I ask, is one "good" reason.... :) In my studio, I have an Apogee Symphony 8x8 I/O. The Symphony's internal clock is said to be equivalent to the Apogee Big Ben, a great clock, but can not be set up to slave off of the Axe Fx...

Ready to Pull Trigger, need advice.....

One of the best sounding "smallish"m monitors I have used are the Focal CMS 50 0r CMS 65's. IMO, they are spectacular for their size. A bit pricy, but worth the money for a small home studio.

FW10.11b and 10.12

I find FW 11b to be very stable. Only problem I had was with the MacOS driver v1.28. 11b sounds better than anything I have heard from the Axe FX II earlier versions or any other manufacturers product currently available.
