    Upgrading from AXE II: Importing presets, Cabinets and FX's blocks

    You might be right. I did a few test and they came out totally different. Not sure if is even worth doing. But It'd be great to at least dial the FXs as I have so many blocks, but they are also coming VERY different! So yes, maybe I need to do them from scratch, but we are talking about about...

    Upgrading from AXE II: Importing presets, Cabinets and FX's blocks

    Hi there, I just upgraded to the AXEIII and I was wondering what would be the best way to import my AXEII presets, cabinets and some of my block FXs. I'm playing with Frac-tools for this and assume they will need some tweaking, but I'm having problems as the the presets won't see the cabinets...

    Are there FXs Presets available for the AXEIII?

    Hi guys, I thought this dissevered its own thread, so post it here. Just wondering if there are FXs presets for the modules on the AXEIII. I'm thinking on upgrading my AXEII and this have always been my issue with it. It's nice to know you can emulate many FXs by tweaking the FXs (Eventide...

    How do you rate Axe-Fx 3 effects vs Eventide and other high end stuff?

    Hey guys, great thread! I'm thinking about upgrading my AXII to AXEIII but wondering if the III have FX presets for the modules? It's nice to know the AXEIII can imitate the h9, etc, but having to dial each preset from zero is a pain. That have always been my issue with AXE FXII. Maybe there...

    Conforming old patches to conform with Quantum upgrades...

    Exactly, I'm sure some of the changes might have comes from before Quantum and I just didn't notice before. So from what I'm understanding there are way too many changes? I was hoping some big general adjustment could help me to get into the ballpark...

    Conforming old patches to conform with Quantum upgrades...

    It's funny, this is one of the best thing about the AXE: amazing support and continuous improvement over the sound. But it makes keeping the patches updated a shore. The 14-17 era was just a few years ago! :) I guess you could choose to avoid updating but...

    Hey everybody, After upgrading the AXE FX with the Quantum OS I noticed that my old patches sound considerably different. This was to be expected of course, but most of them need major adjustments. I was wondering if you have any tips regarding what settings are the most affected after these...

    What does the power amp modeling setting does? + Clipping

    Ok, I think I got it. So the global "amp modeling setting" just affects the power amp setting *in the amp block*, not whether the amp block is enabled or not. Out of curiosity: When would you want the amp modeling setting off *and* the amp block enabled? Wouldn't you want the modeling always on...

    What does the power amp modeling setting does? + Clipping

    That's what I guessed, but if a turn the amp off I still hear a difference compared with the master "amp modeling setting" off. In other words, the amp modeling setting doesnt completly turn off the amps, correct? Sorry, a bit confused with this. ;) FYI Everything direct to my speakers/DAW

    What does the power amp modeling setting does? + Clipping

    Thanks Bakerman! I'm referring to the "amp modeling setting" master setting in the Global settings, not the blocks. Or is it the same function, but a master switch to control them all?

    Hey guys, I upgraded to Quantum (in a Mark II) and now a lot of the patches are clipping. While I was trying to figure why I noticed that the power amp modeling setting was off for some reason. Seems like that fixes it, but the patches now sound more compressed even if I turned the Instrument...

    Axe Edit can't connect when CPU usage on my Mac is high

    Yes, I'm still having this issue. I can use several MIDI/USB divides and don't have any problems, except with the Axe Edit, so I think there should be a way to patch the software to avoid this issue. Maybe something related to the cores?

    Axe Edit can't connect when CPU usage on my Mac is high

    I think we are having 2 different problems, though. The Axe does use more CPU when connected to USB, but that's not issue I have. I'm referring to the computer CPU. When the CPU usage is high (in the computer) the Axe gets disconnected. It doesn't matter how high the AXE CPU is (it can be a very...

    Axe Edit can't connect when CPU usage on my Mac is high

    Hi guys, I've been having this issue since I bought the Fractal (back when the Axe Edit was 2.x beta). If the CPU usage on my Mac is high the Axe Edit won't communicate with the Axe FX. I work with lots of VI instruments and a big film scoring palette, but if I turn on lots of VI instruments...

    Anybody like the default presets?

    Totally different experience for me. Some people mentioned that the new presets sound a bit "thin", but I think what they are hearing is that presets now are a bit less boomy than before. For me the presets on ver 10 sounded boomy on my Tween Focals which I even use for mastering, so I had to...

    How do I load a preset from the AXE-EDIT folder that uses a custom cabinet?

    How do I load a preset from the AXE-EDIT folder that uses a custom cabinet?

    I dragged the cabs files to the cabs folder inside the Axe-Edit folder, but the presets can't seem to find them (even though I see them in the Axe-Manage window). Do I have to load the cabs into the Axe 2 in order to work? Thanks!

It's definitely not a bad idea to learn the front panel like you suggested, especially since there are many features you...

    Not planning the MFC-101, so what expression pedal should I get?

    Thank for the suggestions! I just bought the Ep-1 with the spring loaded. I might get a cheaper/smaller foot controller later if I need it, but for now I just use the Axe to record, so I can manually change the scenes or even program them on PT.

    Expression pedal for Homestudio

    Thanks for the suggestion. I don't have the MFC101, so only have 1 input to the Axe2. Wouldn't' the sp1 be overkill since it handles 2 outputs? Wouldn't he Ep-1 be enough? (Just wondering) Or are there cheaper alternatives?
