    monitor hum/noise fm9 with iloud monitors

    Hey Strabes Thanks and apologies for the late response. To answer your questions: 1: Yes the noise is reduced when not using the 1/8" or RCA cables from the back of the monitors ( and thus using only USB for audio into the MacBook) 2. No noise reduction here. the FM9-edit doesn't seem to...

    monitor hum/noise fm9 with iloud monitors

    Sorry for the late reply folks! life's been a bit hectic! I'm using a standard mono cable that has a 1/4" jack on one end and a 1/8" jack on the other. Coming out of the headphone out jack. Yes, I have played with this back and forth, and no change. Everything is plugged into the same power...

    monitor hum/noise fm9 with iloud monitors

    Been having this issue for years, finally deciding to confront it. Getting monitor hum when I connect from the FM9 out1 or headphone out directly to my IK multimedia iloud micro monitors via the 1/8" in on the back. There are 2 inputs, the other RCA type is being used to connect to a caldigit...

    Bag for FM9 AND guitar?

    I know you said no double gig bag, but this is what I use: https://reverb.com/ca/item/42411571-ibanez-idgb5-double-guitar-bag It's the closest thing to what I want, something similar to what you're looking for. The FM9 doesn't move around as I put cables and an expression pedal all on the...

    double electric gig bag, with wheels, that could also fit an fm9?

    I'm probably dreaming. But I would absolutely love something like this to be produced. I think a lot of gigging guitarists that commute (take public transit etc) would appreciate it too. Currently the closest thing I have is an Ibanez IDGB5 double electric gig bag with wheels. With this, I can...

    When I switch between guitars during a show, I'd like them to sound close to the same or similar, I've finally been able to put an EQ block in my chain to get the one guitar sounding similar to the other. Now all I need is a way to turn this on and off with one hit, and have it stay ON even...

    Tom Morello - Calm Like a Bomb Tone

    Then I'd recommend an octave down using the pitch block to start before an amp/cab block, then adding a wah, try the wah in between the amp and cab block first, that usually gives it a stronger wah effect (less gain though). If not, then try the wah out in front of the amp. that's all it really...

    Tom Morello - Calm Like a Bomb Tone

    Thanks GiRa! Yes, bass for sure is doing the wah in this song, not guitar. Thanks! So there's no wah in this song on guitar. Unless you mean to say you want to play the bass wah part on guitar...or are you saying you have a bass and want to do the bass part of this song?

    improvements on the pitch block/virtual capo latency over the FM3?

    Excited about the FM9! Was wondering if the pitch block has been improved, specifically regarding the virtual capo. I've been dreaming of a digitech drop tune-esque feature with equal or better (less) latency in a fractal product so I don't have to bring 2+ guitars for every gig and I haven't...

    Guitar and Microphone FM3 Setup

    Thanks for this Lbochs, I have just recently been curious of the same thing. How are the levels working out? Mics usually require more juice and I thought this method might make it noisier if the signal's boosted. I'm assuming you're using this without the extra audio interface?

    Closed Scene mode, LED 'active' scene and Dimmed 'inactive but loaded' scenes / 2 different color LEDs with each scene?

    Technically no there isn't. Except for scene manager, which I use as stated previously, to bypass all the amp/cab/input/outputs on a scene that I'm not using.

    Closed Scene mode, LED 'active' scene and Dimmed 'inactive but loaded' scenes / 2 different color LEDs with each scene?

    Yes I agree, and I was fantasizing that maybe when using scene manager, and bypassing all the inputs (amp, cab, input, output) strips on that scene would be a good method to tell the FM3 that a scene 'not loaded/disabled' Yes that's what I meant, thank you.

    Scenes or Presets?

    i do it via scenes. I'll tell you why. With scenes, each preset is a song, and each 'scene' is the intro verse, chorus, outro, solo, whatever it is within that song. Verses are usually quieter than choruses, solos are obviously boosted etc. So i'll have the verse be a -2 or -3db against the...

    Wish Scene volume increase and decrease using built in switches

    Just like the bigger brother I'd love to be able to assign any of the footswitches (F or regular) as scene volume increase/decrease.
