Axe-Fx III Firmware 23.04 Release

I did, big time. I reset the amp blocks and presto I'm back in the game. Must be under the hood changes.

5150 Presence Knob

Sounds good to me, either way. I don't have a dog in this race.

Electromagnetic noise/ interference

If you are too close to the FAS it will be noisier, as well.

Right Outputs 1 and 2 are louder than the left Outputs

I had this issue a couple of weeks back. I swapped cables and fixed it. Apparently, one xlr worked fine with mics, and preamps, but not FAS. Not sure, but hope it helps.

Large Font for Axe III

It would be great to scroll left and right to pick scenes when you are without an FC or computer. You can go from 1 to 4 with one push.

Axe-Fx III Firmware 23.04 Release

I have found an issue with stereo routing. If Output 3 or 4 are set to anything but stereo output in the audio setup it seems to sum to mono.

Axe-Fx III Firmware 23.03 Beta #1

Low end cutting is probably the adjustment that makes the biggest difference with whether or not it will play well. Any amp can "work" well enough. I would first cut at the input of the amp, and maybe also in the cab. Don't be afraid to take it all the way up to 160 or 200 hz with an 8 string or...

RED SOUND FRFR Speakers now offered through the Fractal Audio online store!

I have a stereo pair of the Elis 8s. One is active, and one is passive. They really do sound great and are way louder than you will expect. I have been using them for maybe a year or so with several bands with great luck. I have a corporate dance band, an 80s rock band, a country band, and do...

Axe-Fx III Firmware 23.00 Release Candidate #2 (Beta #7)

Same. I am not getting loud pops. It just doesn't "rotary", but sounds funky instead.

Fullres IRs in 2023

You will have to find out for yourself, unfortunately. Considering that FAS was never designed to get the amp in the room thing, many are let down by all attempts to "dial it in". It was not meant to do that, so it makes sense. I fell in love with FR IRs, but found it near impossible to...

DAW choice to use with Afx3

Seems like they all "job". Reaper and cubase seem to be used most. Thanks for the thread pointer.
