    AXE/Apollo Aggregate Issues?

    Did your aggregate go over 32 inputs or outputs? Only Pro Tools HD can see over 32 I/Os, and your x8 might have gone over that limit itself, so PTs can't even see your AF3 I/Os because they might start at I/O 33 in Audio Midi Setup..

    Why are we chasing the amp in the room sound?

    This is what re-amping is for. I don't care how it sounds in the room. I care how it sounds in the mix. Even then, I find it most relevant when going for a high-gain rhythm tone. I don't think most people even go for the room sound. I think they go for what it sounds like in the end mix...

    Clicks and pops from the noise gate in certain presets

    I have had that issue with Intelligent Noise Gate on the input block since I bought the Axe FX III whenever they first released. I'm pretty sure it has always done that depending on how you play. Classic with a ratio of 4.5 with fastest attack and release with the threshold set to taste has...

    Nearby radio station comes in through guitar cable port

    I had a shit DI box in front my Axe FX that I ran into my Apollo Twin for my DI source since I SPDIF from Axe to Apollo. It was a cheap piece of crap that wasn't shielded very well, so I got a new one. I still have to lift the ground on my new DI box, but I don't pick up AM radio anymore. If...

    AFIII Metal/Djent tone 6160 amp block (Kiesel Vader 8, Blacker RTA 7)

    That kick gave me cancer.

    I don't know how to best use the noise gate/s.

    Increase the ratio on your input's noise gate to 4.5, and adjust the threshold appropiately. If I use a second noise gate for whatever reason, I will put it right after the amp block with some pretty extreme settings. If you are using anything like a DI box or anything fancy in front of the...

    Input Block

    Classic does the entire signal, and I believe Intelligent does everything above like 300hz. I prefer to just stick with classic. Less artifacts when tracking high gain instruments. Also, I find 4.50 on the ratio has a great range for noise cancellation while still be quite sensitive to any...

    AFIII Rocco's 80s Hair Metal w/ GGD Studio Cab Zilla Full Mix Feedback

    Looking for feedback on my mixing abilities. I have been practicing mixing on and off for the better part of two years, and I think have finally reached a point in quality that sounds commercial grade. Or at least I hope so. Bass guitar and toms have been the bane of my existence when it...

    AFIII Foo Fighters - The Pretender (80s Synth Rock Cover)

    Awesome remake, and really well done mix. Gotta be honest, if you weren't in the video, I would have thought it was Weird Al.

    AFIII 80s Hair Metal w/ ML Sound Lab Mars Hair Metal cab pack

    10K seems to high a starting point for a low pass in the preamp section of the Cab Block. I used to range from 5k-7k, but the last year I'll just set the low pass to 6666 and find what cabs I like from there. I do this because I usually end up adding quite a bit of a 12k or 15k high shelf on...

    AFIII 80s Hair Metal w/ ML Sound Lab Mars Hair Metal cab pack

    For whatever reason, this reminded me of Vinnie Moore - Morning Star, but after listen to this, your composition and mix just blows it away. Bravo as usual.

    AFIII Singtall " Dopeman"

    I'm on my headphones right now, and as far as I can tell on the mix, it sounds pretty damn good. If I had to guess, the bass guitar will be too loud on the speakers I check the bass on a mix since most commercial releases are not this loud in my headphones. For the song, I feel like it has a...

    Using Multiple Audio Interfaces

    2nd option, and this is only applicable to mac OS X is that you can aggregate your two interfaces together in the Audio Midi setup to be one device. I went this route since my stupid active DI box pics up a lot of ground noise when plugged into my Apollo Twin, and picks up some AM radio station...

    Incredible resource for comparing dialed-in amp tones

    I found this channel when I first tried finding a good phat bass tone for the Axe-FX III. Their demo's of OwnHammer's IRs helped me decide which packs I might like too. Really good channel. If anyone needs a good bass preset, check out their video called Axe FX bass guitar tone tutorial (pop...

    [SOLVED] Presets Are Pulling Channel Settings For Every Block From Other Presets

    Looks like 1-04-00. Edit can't find this update when checking for update. Will definitely try this. Thanks for the link. Edit: like a pencillin shot into the ass, that cleared everything up. Thanks

    [SOLVED] Presets Are Pulling Channel Settings For Every Block From Other Presets

    Am using the newest release 12 updated with Fractal-Bot, and the newest Edit. Running Edit on OS X Catalina. This started with 12 beta. No preset is loading correctly. Every setting on every block is loading data from some other preset or with default values. There is a work around. If I...

    AFIII My new Song Holidays

    This sounds amazing. Levels sound natural and soothing on the ears. It's a great tune, but I think a lot of the melody is too fragmented. Like at 1:15 to 1:20; I'd like to hear a better run run-on into 1:20 (1:30 as well). I grew up listening to blues, but never appreciated it until later in...

    Recording using USB and monitoring thru the headphone jack without latency?

    Just ran some tests. My normal settings for my setup is Pro Tools HW Buffer at 64 and FX 3 USB HW Buffer Size 64. If I don't have low latency mode turned on in PT, I do get some phasing issuing when the track is armed, but can be basically eliminated with a Buffer Size of 32 on the FX3 with PT...

    Recording using USB and monitoring thru the headphone jack without latency?

    Depending on what your HW Buffer is set to in Pro Tools (I don't think it matters what it is set to in the Axe FX) will introduce playback latency. 64 HW Buffer and under, you shouldn't hear any latency, but 128 and up you will. When tracking in Pro Tools, just turn on the "Low Latency" mode...

    Axe-Fx III + Apollo Twin + Logic routing question

    Apollo Mon L/R into Input 2 L/R of Axe FX (my monitors on Output 1 of FX3/or use headphones on Apollo or FX3). I Use my Apollo Twin exclusively as Mic Pres nowadays. I mainly did this so I can route Input 2 of FX3 to Output 1 of FX3 so I could use my studio mics in something like Discord...
