    [SOLVED] Clearer DI waveforms while recording

    If you are in Logic, this is helpful as well to just make it more readable without having to increase the gain.

    IRs York Audio presents the MES 412 in .Wav format based on Mesa!

    Your old Mesa pack was my favorite IR for that sound ever and it's so awesome to have those tones in .wav format. Grats on the launch :) The inclusion of the ShureKSM313 is bound to make a lot of Petrucci fans happy ;)

    X-Load to Axe-Fx II connection

    Hi, I have searched a bit for an answer and I couldn't find anything but I apologize if this has been covered before. I'm planning on replacing my Suhr Reactive load with the X-Load and since the latter doesn't include IR support I was thinking of running into my AxeFX as a cab loader and out...

    Genelec 8351 with the Axe Fx

    I run the axe fx with 8351's via the AES/EBU path through a RME Fireface UFX+ and there is no latency to speak of. Prior to that setup I used the axe fx as the soundcard directly to a pair or krk monitors and there is no discernible difference in lag.

    Question about playing through cab-lab

    I have this idea that I thought I'd try and that is to bypass the cab block on my patches and in logic load up an instance of cab-lab as a plugin and run the cab simulation through there. This works fine when I for example have a prerecorded track with no cab on it but when I'm playing through...

    Issues with reamping

    Have you made sure that when you reamp the only track that's currently going to the main output is the dry track signal? You need to solo it when reamping as the axe fx will simply run everything it hears through the process..

    Strange reamping latency issue

    Thanks for the input Glennski! I'm on a mac though so I'm not using ASIO drivers and I'm also just using the axe-fx as a soundcard as well so I can't remove it from the chain. Maybe it's something to do with using the axe-fx as the soundcard in all of this?

    Friedman HBE + Bare Knuckle Black Hawks + Evertune

    Yeah, it's tough to find a sweet spot for bending. For me I have the low strings set to not bend at all and the top three strings to be as normal as possible. It works but it's not totally ideal. But for me the pros outweighs the cons and I'll just use my other guitar(s) for lead stuff.

    Friedman HBE + Bare Knuckle Black Hawks + Evertune

    Evertune is the bees-knees. Had one installed on an ibanez 7-string and my recording process have been so smooth, I can just switch strings whenever I want and just tune up and go. No tuning for days.

    8 string guitar + AXE FX 2 = too much bass? what do u guys do?

    Meshuggah never recorded without a bass player nor do they play live without one. In fact, most of their low end is still the bass. All of their bass players have had huge tones whereas the guitars have been much more midfocused in comparison.

    FW12.03 and EVH 5150

    I like that type of mix where the bass is that audible. Guitars sound very nice, maybe not that bright but they sit nicely. I'd agree with jakel though that the snare (and imo the bass drum) is a bit too high, maybe back them off a couple of db's. What type of IR's were you using if I may ask?

    MOAEE - UD Stomp (Holdsworth settings)
