    What's that sound in the middle of Fleetwood Mac's - Say You Love Me

    I'm working on Fleetwood Mac's Say You Love me. In the middle of the song after the chorus it goes to an arpeggiated Bm E part. Any thoughts on how to achieve this sound? It sounds to me like it might have a pitch shift an octave up and maybe a chorus? Perhaps they used a 12 string in the...

    How have things changed for you as a musician since 2020?

    I've noticed some major changes in the local music scene since coming out of the shutdown of 2020. Some of the places that had full bands don't have them any more. Some of the places have gone out of business. When bands do play, the shows are early. Playing 10pm-2am was standard since I began...

    Need Facebook help: How to add existing Event to a page?

    I need some Facebook help and can't seem to find the answer anywhere. Since Fb doesn't appear to have any 'real person' support I thought I'd try here. A venue has created an Event for one of our upcoming gigs. I'd like to add this Event to the band's Page. If I go to the Event and click...

    Backing track for live performance / licensing?

    My cover band has been asked to play an 80's themed gig. Since the 80's were all about keyboards and big pads, I'm thinking about using keyboard backing tracks. I went to Karaoke-Version in search of backing tracks, which lead me to their FAQ, which lead me to licensing the tracks for live...

    FX8 Midi Output through USB?

    I'm trying to set up some automation using an FX8 (running 5.04 beta) and an iPad running Multitracker for my acoustic act. I was able to get the FX8 to respond to PC changes issued by a Midi track playing in Multitracker using a direct connection to the FX8 USB input and a Lightning to USB...

    Insurance Requirements?

    A local venue is instituting liability insurance requirements for all their performers. I play there once a month in an acoustic duo. Gigs are two hours long.

    MFC-101 Wireless DMX Control

    One project that has been lingering on my seemingly endless task list was to build a case for my MFC-101 / Switch box that is used for lighting control.

    Looper / Backing Track solutions

    Lately I've been using the looper in the FX8 for my acoustic shows. It's been working great, but I find myself living within the constraints of what that looper can do. I get the allure of building loops on the spot. It's interesting to the listener to hear the different parts come together like...

    BodyRez emulation in FX8?

    Anyone figure out a way to emulate TC's BodyRez in the FX8? I'd like to dedicate my FX8 to acoustic gigs since those seem to be the only gigs happening these days. I know I can just go and get the pedal, but I'm trying to down size.

    Recommendations on wireless audio control to old stereo

    Gigging Shoes

    Well... it was time. My old Vans had zero tread on the bottom after 6+ years (?) of gigging. Time to get new gigging shoes. After a fruitless search at the local mall I turned to the internet. For gigging I like a flat bottom shoe. Skate shoes are perfect. I like these because they give me...

    Does FW14 have more gain??

    I loaded FW14 last night and WOW what a difference. I know things get better & better with each release, but this is the first time I can remember where I was blown away. An area I've had trouble with since the beginning is in getting nice singing/blooming feedback and pinch harmonics. I...

    MFC-101 Sketchup Model now in 3D Warehouse

    For those of us who like to use Sketchup to map out new pedalboards, I've uploaded a fairly accurate model of the MFC-101. You can find it HERE. Here's a sample image:

    FW:13.07, Display stripes

    I've seen this in the past so I don't think it's linked directly to 13.07. I'm not sure what causes it. Last night I was playing guitar, spun around in my chair to get something and when I turned back around I saw this. A power cycle seems to cure it, but I'm afraid there could be an...

    Power & Midi holes not quite lining up

    I have an MFC-101 that will soon be incorporated into my rig. It's been sitting around for quite a while so I just got around to noticing this. The MIDI and power chassis holes don't quite line up with the connectors inside. I haven't opened it up yet... Can anyone tell me if this is a...

    Bug? 13.07: Amp Bright knob not saved correctly when Global used

    I have an amp set to to Global Amp 1. If I change the value and save it, it shows up as 0 in the other presets that use that Global amp.

    Phase Invert block?

    Is there a simple block that has a Phase Invert option? I found it in the Enhancer, but I need a couple of them.

    Bug? FW:13.02, Pitch / Fixed Harmony Weirdness

    I have a couple presets that I use to lower the pitch of my guitar -3 with the mix set at 100%. When I played I would hear two tones instead of one. The first one was higher pitch and would ring out for about 750ms before the lower pitch would kick in. The first one sounded like if may have...

    Wish Wish: Save/Recall block chain

    I use the Save/Recall block quite often. It's nice to be able to save away my favorite chorus or delay blocks and recall them when building new presets. Taking this a step further I think it would be pretty useful to save a group of blocks that can be imported into an existing preset. For...

    Wish Block Compare to default / compare blocks

    I wish there were a way to compare two blocks- Either two totally separate blocks, or a compare to default settings for a given type. (Sort of a Winmerge for blocks).

    Fractal Audio not at NAMM, but it was there in spirit

    I attended NAMM for the first time this year. Fractal didn't have a booth, but they were everywhere in spirit. When I got to talking to some of the exhibitors at different booths they'd ask me what I used. When I told them I used an AxeFX II their eyes would light up and the tide would turn...

    Retaining user defined presets when updating firmware

    I run into this occasionally when updating firmware and was wondering what the best process to follow would be... I have about 20 user designed presets. I'd like to retain these presets when loading new firmware and new preset banks. Can I save these presets on the Axe and recall them...

    How do Scenes differ from X/Y?

    Sorry if this has been covered already. I can't seem to find it. How do Scenes differ from using X/Y? Isn't X/Y just like having two Scenes? Truth be known, I don't use Scenes or X/Y at the moment. I still need to wrap my head around how to implement that with my midi controller (Axess FX1).
