    I accidentally left my AX8 on for 9 hours

    Hey everyone. My apologies if this has been asked before but today before leaving for work I was playing with the update (incredible by the way!) and in my haste to leave, I accidentally left it on all day. Is there any real issue with this? Overheating etc? I’m just freaking out haha. Thanks!

    Recording (this has probably been covered 183097 times)

    Thanks, Chris! I seem to have found an equilibrium. The pickups on my main guitar are pretty high output duncans. I found that with the AX8 output volume around 10:30-11:00 I level-in at around -12db in Logic X, which is right where I wanna be. Amp blocks are set to -13ish.

    Thanks! My only confusion is In the austin video he states that the output knob on the AX8 should be turned up to maximum as this us unity gain on the AX8.

    Recording (this has probably been covered 183097 times)

    Hey fam, I've watched videos, read the manual, etc and I'm still having trouble recording with my AX8. I followed the tips from the @austinbuddy video and am still clipping relentlessly. I have my input pad set at the standard 12, my output knob max and am going XLR out into my Scarlett 2i2...

    How do YOU record?

    Hey all, I’m sure this has been covered multitudinously but I’m wondering what, in your opinion, is the best practice for recording guitars using fractal products. Let me break it down for you. I run my ax8 into a focusrite scarlet 2i2. Currently I have my presets using one cabinet with a...

    Tears For Fears Shout Solo?!?!

    So I was at karaoke and I sang Shout with my buddy. So I’m good with metal tones and s**t but when it comes to matching incredibly dope 80’s tones, I’m no good. Can one of you geniuses create a preset like the solo tone in “Shout” by tears for fears? Please.

    Your settings for speaker comp, speaker drive, time const.?

    Personally, using mostly high gain tones (and some luscious cleans) - I set my speaker comp at around 4 - speaker drive I don't touch - time const 150 - dynamic presence and resonance are set to 2.2 and 1.7 respectively. All of these settings for me are mainly based around palm muting and how...

    Building out a pedalboard

    I have used the gator G-tour for about 8 months and yes it's heavy but mannn, what a great build. I have my AX8, Shure wireless, expression pedal and room for another classic sized stompbox. Can't recommend the case enough for it's quality, durability and looks!

    Fracbot Backup Taking Forever

    Any luck yet? Wondering if you have installed the latest firmware and software for your AX8, Fractal bot etc? If you've got many user presets and cabs then it usually takes longer as well. 1.5 hour "receive" sessions aren't uncommon for me!

    Mix-Ready, Mutli-purpose Metalcore, Djent, Hardrock Preset

    This is the exact rhythm/lead preset I currently use with my band, Alive In The Night, both live and in the studio. I have owned my AX8 for about a year and have tweaked this preset multitudinously since joining the Fractal community. Originally molded to fit the sound of my Reverend Sensei Ra...

    AX8 Lite?

    It's perfectly compact and lightweight enough. ;-)

    Newbie question from a well seasoned user.

    Do you have a preset you use both live and for recording? What tweaks are you making to find the perfect balance of a tone that is killer for both? I consider myself quite educated on my AX8, and have gotten amazing tones however I find that I'm always boosting the bass and depth knobs when...

    MIDI switching.

    Hi, all. Just the other day I ran my ax8 with automated patch changes, using ableton live. Thus far the outcome has been smooth and effective. Curious to know if there are any of you who also run the AX8 this way and if you've experienced any issues. Realistically the only thing I am afraid of...

    A question for those with lots of live Fractal experience...

    I agree that levels need to be consistent. Honestly I have gotten into the mindset that if I were using a real amplifier live, my cleans, dirts, anything would be coming from the same cabinet. I use different amps certainly when I switch patches but I generally use the same IR for the entire...

    Ladies and DJENTlemen...

    Loving this so far. Used misha mixes 3 and 8 in stereo for the first time live yesterday and listeners thought it sounded killer!
