    FM3 Stream of Consciousness (Dream theater) - custom scale harmony

    So I finally got around to making a custom scale for the outro section on Stream of Consciousness by Dream Theater. This is a wonderful melodic harmony part, and perhaps the highlight on that album for me. I wanted to see if I could use the pitch block, like JP probably does to play this live...

    FM3 Made an EP with alternative rock/grunge. All FM3

    We made our first EP using the FM3 for all the electric guitar and bass sounds. I found the Wrecker Express amp model suited this music, so thats all over most of the songs :) (EP#2 in the works as well). Out on spotify and most streaming services-->...

    SPDIF output -no more volume knob?

    Since fw 6 the level1 knob stopped controlling SPDIF out. Some presets are higher volume than others, so I often need to adjust that when playing at home. Would prefer a physical knob over going into the out block on every new preset, or the SPDIF input volume in the soundcard software. Any way...

    Scene controllers and channels

    Tried mapping the drive in the amp block to a scene controller. Works wonders. Now, if I change the channel where i have a different amp, the drive is still mapped to the scene controller, and I have to go into the controller settings to be able to control the drive setting. So it seems like the...

    FM3 making high-pitched noise

    So I was playing the other night, and I suddenly hear this high pitched noise coming from somewhere. Turned off my monitors, but still it was there... Turned out it was the FM3 actual hardware. Didn't seem like it affected anything, like the output guitar sound. The fan was not running as far as...

    Auditioning cabs - quickest way?

    Hello, I haven't found a quick way of auditioning cabs in FM3 Edit (not thinking about cabs not already saved on the unit). I have to either, click the # field and type which cab-number I want and the press "enter", OR click the picker-button and move the cursor to the cab I want and click...

    Prog instrumental album (all guitars AX8)

    My band 'Los Exploradores' just released our debut album. We play instrumental prog maybe reminiscent of Liquid Tension experiment - but with a mix of different styles. My AX8 was used on all the guitar recordings.. even got a part with Moke's acoustic simulator-preset in there :-) Feel...

    Viewing a preset (offline)?

    Hi, Anyone know how I can view the contents of a preset without the hardware present? bank files .sysx or individual preset .sysx files? I have tried opening them in AX8 edit, but cant figure out how, when the hardware is not connected. (I'm asking because, if I sell the AX8 for the FM3, and...

    Preset adjustment and recording/mixing

    It's mentioned in alot of discussions that one should construct presets at high volume for them to work best in a band/live setting. But what is considered 'best practice' for recording/mixing purpose presets? Any opinions on this?

    IRs of broken/blown speakers?

    This might sound little weird but, anyone know of any IRs of destroyed speakers? that still produce sound? (I'm thinking of use being more of an effect to add in a mix, rather than main sound/playing through..)

    Clicks when recording/playing through SPDIF

    Title says it all. Doesn't happen using the line-out. Soundcard is Focusrite 6i6 (2nd gen). Tried higher latency settings, doesn't make a difference. (I'd prefer to use SPDIF for convenient stereo + preserve original signal) Any clues?

    Parallell blocks = increased volume?

    I made a patch with the delay and reverb blocks routed in parallell after the cab. So I have been using this as my main patch since I got the AX8. One day I was messing around, I removed the reverb block that was parallell to the delay block in the block chain above, and there was a big decrease...

    In-ear monitoring

    Hello, AX8 usere here. After a gig with bad sound (feedback from my FRFR monitor, and not hearing myself sufficiently), I'm researching the possibility of in ear-monitoring. What equipment would I need? (I already have some moulded earplugs which I think can be used for monitors if I swap out...

    AX8 - Overture 1928 (dream theater)

    recorded a video of me playing this very cool tune. (and some fractal advertising in the beginning ;-) All the tracks were recorded dry, and later reamped through the AX8.

    Trying to reamp with the AX8

    So my soundcard has 2 xlr L/R outputs. I plug an XLR to TRS cable from one of these, to the left IN2 on the AX8. I play my DI track from my DAW. My preset looks like this: The sound I get through the main outs however is horrible...plain and simple. Noise and static etc. Anyone have an idea...

    Scene controllers...pretty cool!

    I never knew this feature existed, and just thought scenes were good for turning multiple blocks on/off. Well they are in the AX8 as well, and what a nice tool to have! (I completely overlooked this being mentioned briefly in the manual) So much that can be done just within a single preset...

    What expression pedal to buy?

    While waiting for my AX8, I'm doing some research into what expression pedal would be right for me. It will be used for volume, wah/whammy (and I'm hoping to get away with only one). So I see mainly 3 types- regular, regular with toe swich, spring-loaded. Now I don't know how these can be...

    Too high demand for FAS products?

    I'm a new (hopefully soon to be) FAS user. Like many here, I'm eager to recieve my AX8 invite. How things are looking(atleast for us in Europe), the ones who didnt join the waitlist in the first few days, aren't likely to receive their units in many many months. (I signed up nov 6). Tell me, is...
