    SPDIF Volume LOW with Focusrite 18i20

    Hello everyone. I am very puzzled. I have been able to get the Focusrite and Fractal AXEfx3 to work together but the direct monitoring volume is SUPER LOW. In the Fractal, the input and outputs levels are tickling yellow with peak red if I OVER do it. In my computer return and when I record the...

    Logic Pro X and Axe fx 2 MIDI Preset Change

    This is in theory for me as I have not tried it. Even without the MFC, you should create a midi track from the axe fx, enable record. Now record ALL scene changes while NOT playing guitar but physically doing it on the axefx. That should record all midi commands (drive on, scene changes, etc)...

    I have scenes 1-4 (global) in the bottom row. upper row is Reverb, delay, Drive, and FXloop Cool thing is that if my preset doesn't have the correct reverb block (ie. X) it will not show as an option, which allows me to know I am doing something wrong. I hardly use the FX's switches though...

    Input clipping on every input pad setting

    Input clipping on every input pad setting

    I did get confused with it. I connected my guitar and, without looking at the manual, looked to set the input level, like with the axe-fx. I found the pad and saw +db numbers, that although I am familiar with a pad's function, made me think that the positive db's would increase the guitar...

    I GET IT NOW!!! :) I understood by your original statement that 18db allowed more volume, or in my head, made it louder.

    AX8 edit or - can I switch locations of presets?

    Well, I recently tried it and if I moved a preset it would cut it from its location to place in the new location, overriding whatever was in there. That is why I decided to start using empty slots. In the axe I deleted a bank to place my presets. Maybe it is my mistake as I am still learning.

    AX8 edit or - can I switch locations of presets?

    Axe Preset manager would be your best bet. The only thing, if you need to swap location A for B, FIRST move B to an empty preset, then move A to B's old location, then put B from the empty slot into A's OLD location. I am still learning but I noticed in the Manager that you will...

    AXE FX Mark I with MFC Mark 3

    Agreed! BUT, if someone trips and the cable is well locked, the cable will pull the MFC before the rack (unless your rack is light OR you have your MFC locked). I usually have my axe to my right instead of behind me for that reason as well.

    AXE FX Mark I with MFC Mark 3

    I did this as well when I had my mk1. I realized I could just "lock it" by running the ethernet cable under the axe and taping it; for better locking you can always run the cable over the axe's handle. Definitely the adapter is more "secure" but you can still have an issue.
