Hi guys I have tried and tried but I can't figure out how to assign my tuner to be on preset button number 5 on MFC. I went into edit, midi, moved across to AI 5 and it had preset 5 there originally so I selected it and scrolled till it said tuner. Then I exited it, and nothing.......there's no...

Upload Ultrares cabs

Hi guys....just a quick question. I have just updated my axe fx II to 14 from 12 and have just noticed that there is a folder in the download with 3 sub folders full of UltraRes cabs. I thought it might have uploaded them but it hasn't. I tried to upload one as a test using fractal bot but...

USB Direct vs Audio Interface

Cable Choice ??? Please help ???

Thanks guys, yes It is 8metres which is 26foot. A fair old cable I know but it's just where things have ended up in my room. I heard so many things about not using such lengths of SPDIF and that an AES cable might be better. I have no experience of AES and don't quite understand them if I'm...

OHammer......Don't understand?

Thanks guys...even though I've been doing this too long to fall for hype, it just seems that everyone is on board with the OH and of course now Fractal seem to be embracing them and working with them on this ultra res. I just wondered what it was they were able to achieve that Fractal can't ...

OHammer......Don't understand?

Hi guys, as someone who hasn't delved to deep into my axe fx yet, all the talk about the new 14 FW seems to based around these great sounding ir's. Can I just ask seeing as Cliff is a blumin genius, why is the Own Hammer stuff regarded to be so much better than what fractal produce as far as...

DONT pick amps with your eyes!

Yes, this is my point that this thing is awesome no matter what it's based on, trying to be etc etc. You know, I'm a high end advertising and fashion photographer and I spent the first part of my career on film cameras and I went through the ugly period where pro cameras went digital. For a...

DONT pick amps with your eyes!

Hi guys, I know what you mean Zenaxe and for those who love there fractal that makes sense to go to a Marshall when you want a Marshall type tone, although of course one could consider intrinsically even that is slightly self restricting......only for arguments sake I mean. My OP was more aimed...

DONT pick amps with your eyes!

I'm new to the world of Fractal Axe FXII and loving it. One bit of advice that I'd like to share with anyone else who is either new or about to buy is something I learnt very quickly. DONT pick presets with your eyes, use your ears instead! The point being, when I got mine working for the...

Thanks Cover'd I'm pretty sure I tried that one. I tried quite a few little resaves, like save then power down and back up again etc but it still seems to do it.

Thanks for that, the wires idea is what it sounds like. Is that something I can sort myself then would you say ? I would hate to send it all the back to G66 and back again just to push a wire out the way. Matt
