Has the Ax lll shipped yet?

I sent a request email on 1/29 but it looks like I didn’t receive a verification email back about it. I hope I didn’t mess this up! I’ve been axeless for a couple weeks now and it’s killing me!

Having an issue when trying to record over USB...

Lately I've been experiencing a problem when trying to record over USB with my Axe-FX mkII running 6.03. (it's done this for the last few firmwares) First off some computer stuff: Using the Axe with Logic 10, hooked into USB. I use my Axe as my input, and my scarlet 2i2 as my output, which my...

Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 4.01 Public Beta

Well, looks like its time to offload my trusty MK II and get an XL+. I still feel like this thing has saved me thousands of dollars since I got it back in 2013. Won't hurt to give Fractal a bit more money, they've earned more than pretty much any other company I can think of.

Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 4.00 Public Beta

I got a chance to quickly play through a couple presets, switching back and forth between 3.03 and Latest. On my mid gain patch I don't hear too much of a difference, but on my high gain it's a definite improvement on an all ready great sound!

When monitoring through Logic X, audio goes out of sync sometimes

I know this is a bit of a necro bump but I was wondering if anyone else has had this and found a way to fix this? Mines been getting incredibly bad lately, it's skipped to a second or two out of sync about 5 times in the last hour of playing and its really getting annoying to deal with.

When monitoring through Logic X, audio goes out of sync sometimes

I have 16gb of Ram in my computer. I have the Axe hooked through USB and set as my input device, and my 2i2 set as the output. My I/O buffer size is set to 64 and I don't have any issues with stuttering or pops or anything while recording as long as I have low latency mode turned on. When I'm...

If this is in the wrong section, I apologize. This has been an issue plaguing me for a long time now. I don't think it's something the Axe-FX is doing, but I was just wondering if someone else has had this problem and found a way to fix it. My setup is an Axe-FX II mk II as input going into...

Heavy Tone test (FW 1.03, Cab Pack 19)

I tried messing with a couple things, not sure if it sounds better or not though. Bit more punchy maybe but going on the side of pumpy a bit much maybe. I uploaded the tone, I use a patch with two amps, one hard panned right and the other left. Makes double tracking a bit easier, just...

Heavy Tone test (FW 1.03, Cab Pack 19)

Recorded something bit heavier today, trying out a new bass tone I came up with. Still absolutely in love with Cab Pack 19, I use it on pretty much every guitar patch. Bass is an Ibanez sr506, guitar is an Ibanez RG8 with Dimarzio D-activator pickups. How does the mix sound?

ML Bulb Angle Citrus: The second Misha Mansoor / ML Cab Pack

Just bought this cab pack tonight. It's the first of them I've bought, always used stock IR's up until this point. From what little I've messed with them so far I'm blown away. They sound extremely balanced and just all around fantastic. I plan on picking up the bass pack next, and probably...

Finally motivated to record some stuff! (ambient style music inside)

I picked up an electronic drum set (Roland TD-11KV) because I wanted to practice drumming more, and that makes programming midi drums fun! I updated to Quantum and made a couple clean/bass presets and just sort of put a couple ideas together into sort of a song. Hopefully I can do this a few...

Speaker resonance

I also use a matrix power amp into a real cab, and I generally go to the speaker tab in the amp section and change low res frequency and palm mute a low power chord until I get a good thump from the cab, and then change the hi frequency around till I like the way it sounds. No real science or...

Original mellow rock with me new Blacktop Tele and Axe FX 2

I dig this a bunch! The lead tone really reminds me of Dinosaur JR. Also I thought I read blacktop baritone instead of just normal and almost had a heart attack thinking they released a baritone with a maple fretboard

Recommended Firmware Update: 11.03

I've had a few friends scoff at me for dropping 2+ grand on a modeler, but Fractal Audio has more dedication to his product then anyone else I've ever seen. I love my Axe-FX more and more every time I turn it on, and after hearing it my buddies shut right up. Thank you for making this amazing...
