    AFIII VIDEO: Axe-Fx III vs Axe-Fx II - Comparing the amp block

    no doubt in my mind the III is just deeper/juicier and more substantial than the II except the last patch where they both sucked as the tone was flabby thx for posting and loved the clown faces on the stills- very novel! ;-D

    Anyone using the Axe w/ the ZEN TOUR?

    I'm thinking about purchasing an Antelope ZEN TOUR interface due to its flexible routing, compact size and the advantage of their for free native plugs. this interface can take the AXE via SPDIF or analog anyone try the ZEN TOUR?

    The Axe FX with the UAD Apollo

    the SPDIF out sounds great. w/ the analog you go thru 2 conversion stages and this prob affects the quality . the limitation of 48k w/ SPDIF for the Axe doesn't make much diff to my ears but having to do everything else then at 48k limits the project quality as a whole IMO. all things...

    Axe-Fx STILL at Heavy Discount. How Does this Not Indicate New Axe 3?

    i agree w/ you! they are blowing out old stock gearing up for a new version. a major upgrade on horizon. its been a long time and the Axe updates have been few and far between indicating to me attention is going to the new product and i do look forward to it!
  7. Guitarmandan

    Any way to connect to axe edit without USB cable?

    believe you can hook up via SPDIF and avoid the digital to analog conversion but having a SPDIF cable is prob less likely than having a USB cable. good luck!

    Best DAW?

    i think Sonar Platinum is vastly underrated bogged down? how so? i agree they started filling it up w/ a great amount of plugs which depending on your tastes, could be good or bad. but the features like comping and mix recall, etc work quite well

    Question: How to use Eventide H9 w/ AxeFx?

    great tip Brad! this interface seems to only offer inserts and balanced ins beside the XLR inputs unlike my Aries analog console i am selling and don't use anymore that had the stereo aux sends/returns

    Question: How to use Eventide H9 w/ AxeFx?

    i was using my new Eventide H9 Max in front of the AxeFx II but it doesn't play nice w/ Axe distorted settings i see on the rear of the Axe- input/output 2 have FX send/returns the H9 has stereo unbalanced ins/outs and its recommended that it be placed last after preamps, compressors...

    Preset Upload Overload!

    hey Paranoid i think its wonderful Johan is sharing these presets the problem is in AxeChange when i hit "show 100" it didn't go beyond his uploads when i hit "show all" it STILL didn't go beyond his Sept 10th entries, so i could not go beyond that date to download any more presets
  21. Guitarmandan

    Preset Upload Overload!

    i generally like to download presets from AxeChange every 2 weeks each month but when i tried to do this from Sept 1 to Sept 15 one sole contributor on Sept 10 uploaded a whopping 65+ presets (i can't even see how many more were done) so now when i choose to show all past pre's i cannot go below...

    "Block Exchange" similar to Axe Change, just for blocks?

    when going thru patches in AXChange i save the better ones for dialing in later but sometimes the patch isn't happening but there is a fabulous block that stands out these i'll save and interject them into any patch to take the place of a "weak" block and give it some pizzazz

    How much hard drive space do I need for DAW projects/files?

    yes the 64g is a bit much but there was 8 slots and i filled them no Mac a PC i built it myself w/ carefully chosen components i run the same Win 7 16 g ram is fine 2TB is better investment like Solar Fire said sample rate, track count etc figures in but 2TB drives are cheap enuff

    How much hard drive space do I need for DAW projects/files?

    i have a 250g SSD drive and use that for the "C" drive, the one w/ the operating system on thats where the most speed should be course if i had the bucks i use SSD on all drives but for DAW projects i wouldn't use less than a 1TB drive so that lets out the SSD for any of the other drives...

    how to use X/Y settings question..

    Do you create presets tailored for each guitar you own?

    some guitars need a lot of tweaking i would suggest using the same presets but tailor the scenes for specific guitar tweaks like adding and EQ on scene 2 or diff amp scene 3 etc

    What's your opinion for paying me a little bit for a patch you love to have it !

    i think the patch sounds great but thru the past couple yrs there have been some dynamite uploads along w/ the dross that would make it impractical to pay for just one good patch. besides it was pointed out depending on the gear used, a patch may need much tweaking anyway. keep up the good...

    when is the firmware 19 beta 1 coming out? whats going to be within it?

    Amazing what wire can do

    Joe i would def look into a lower gauge, quality cable to at least compare the differences. i feel the fidelity is quite improved and the sound is "tighter" more focused. what Cliff may be alluding to is certain gauge cable wire can act as an EQ device of sorts and there are trade-offs using...

    Amazing what wire can do

    lower gauge cable i.e. 14 instead of 16 should work a lot better. being an electrician for 20 yrs, 12 gauge romex can carry the current more efficiently than 14g. i have my sound system speakers rewired w/ 12 gauge monster cable and it kicks major ass over the 20 gauge wire that pre-existed
