    Vocoder issues

    I haven’t used the vocoder in awhile but I think there’s an issue with the Analysis Source. It sounds like it’s working when you choose IN1 (maybe 2-4 but I didn’t check). It doesn’t work with a row as the source (other than the row IN1 is on but that’s probably not desirable). I get the same...

    <solved>USB Reconnects fail requiring restart

    If I disconnect the USB cable from the computer and then reconnect it, the computer does not recognize the AxeFX III anymore. I have to restart the AxeFX to have it recognized again (USB midi or as an Audio device). I'm also noticing that sometimes (more frequently than before) on first...

    Solved : USB, Mojave, Cubase 9.5.x

    Just FYI for anyone in a similar situation, AxeIII 1.17 USB 1.06 (and AxeII, AxeII XL, AxeII XL+ with latest), USB aggregate devices, Mojave (OSX), and Cubase 9.5.30 (the latest) do not fully work. Axe seems to be fine. Ins and outs work (according to the meter screen) but OSX or Cubase is not...

    Fractal OS X Developer Certificate

    Sorry, I posted before I even finished writing the title. It should have said "Fractal's SSL cert" and refers to the following post: https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/os-x-expired-certificate-not-a-problem.131726/ The post says that the expired cert isn't a problem but it actually is...

    Show Available Devices

    Show Available Devices doesn't work for me. I have ermm... many AxeFX's connected via USB to a Mac with the latest OS, latest AxeEdit, drivers, and FW. This feature has never worked for me but would help greatly if it did. I assume it's not commonly used b/c it's for users with multiple...

    Wish : Drag and Drop and file associations

    I wish that the drag and drop area of Axe-Edit was bigger than the preset title area. Can you make drop target area the entire window? That would make it easier. File associations can be done on Windows and the Mac but Axe-Edit doesn't recognize that you are trying to open a preset in the...

    Disable Speaker Size for UltraRes IRs

    This is relatively minor but would reduce some confusion. Today I was using an UltraRes IR and was trying to change the Speaker Size. I had forgotten that this doesn't actually do anything with UltraRes IRs. It would be nice if AxeEdit would disable the Speaker Size knob when an UltraRes IR...

    AVB on the AxeFXII XL?

    Cliff, I'm wondering about the capability of the ethercon port on the AxeFX II XL. Is the hardware fully addressable to support AVB? I've been working with various interface standards and recently started messing with MOTU's AVB interfaces (yeah, it was the last thing on my mind to bother with...

    Just a heads up to the IEM folks... Shure has a new unit coming that is small and relatively inexpensive: PSM 300 Stereo Personal Monitor System | Shure Americas Everything looks good about this except the frequency response... I don't know if it's a typo or not but it says 15KHz... Since...

    The Edge with the AxeFX in the studio

    Here's a short U2 in the Electric Lady Studios. There were a few interesting shots in this. At one point the AxeFX is in a 4 space rack with the SDD-3000 above it and something else above that with a laptop sitting on top running Axe-Edit (the chain is almost visible...). Most of the other...

    SDD-3000 pedal!

    Korg has made an SDD-3000 as a pedal. Personally, I think I'm finally beyond the SDD by using the AxeFXII with FET and EQ to simulate the SDD and the delay block (TC2290) for delay but I thought this was cool anyway. It baffles me that they hadn't done this already to cash in on the...

    MK1 vs. XL USB Input Level difference by 5db on 15b

    I think the XL input (over USB at least) is 5db hotter than the input on the MK1 under FW15b (at least). This seems to be in the input path before any blocks since if I lower the input level going to the XL, it sounds identical to the MK1. If you happen to have an MK1 and XL, working aggregate...

    Dirty Shirley Challenge

    I've been playing around with the Dirty Shirley amp and came across this video: Friedman Dirty Shirley amp - YouTube The presence and dynamics of that recording are great. It looks like he's going directly into the amp and has effects post amp (some reverb at least). I haven't been able to...

    AC30 vs. AxeFXII+CLR

    I don't have too much to say here other than I had a chance to compare an AC30H2 (TB channel in this case) against an AxeFXII+CLR in the room and well, if I weren't nostalgic, I'd sell the AC30. I was very shocked. This is the first time I've heard the "in the room" sound from the Axe through...

    AC30 questions

    Now that the V10 discussion is going on I thought it appropriate to ask a few questions. What are the details of the AC30 that is modeled in the AxeFXII? Will any of the more refined versions of the AC30 TB ('64 or AC30H2 with blues, not greens) go through a newer IR capture process...

    Mysterious Ways clip

    This is the AxeFXII 6.01. It's a partial tone match from the album (only to get in the ballpark eq wise) but the core is matching several blocks by hand against a real A3. The A3 and the AxeFX alternate. Do you know which is which? Mysterious Ways by plum-55 on SoundCloud - Create, record...

    MFC and silent physical switches

    I'm beginning my hunt for a new footswitch/table top switch. I would prefer to have an MFC since it's integrated with the AxeFX but I do have a few reservations. I would like the footswitch to double as a table top hand switch as well depending on what I'm doing. The current switches are...

    Korn Politics intro

    U2 The Fly : first tone match

    Here's a quick one. It's not great but it's closer than what I could get by ear with the AxeFXII. This match doesn't really work for the solo... you could probably nail this song with quality stem tracks which I do not have. When performing the tone match, the results varied greatly depending...

    Fat switch question I asked this in another thread that was rightfully moved to feature request (b/c the ops request) http://forum.fractalaudio.com/axe-fx-ii-wish-list/51072-6-0-feature-request.html But I'll ask it again here. The manual says that it's shifting the tone stack center...

    6.0 Delay parameter on CAB block

    Of course this could have been done in other ways but having the delay parameter on each cab to create the comb filter is indispensable when recording. Thanks U2 or whoever requested this feature and to Fractal for adding it. I absolutely love it.

    6.0 and pedal input

    I updated to 6.0. I have an EV-5 pedal in the pedal jack of the AxeFX and it seems that the presets are now set to auto engage the wah by default... lots of presets have the wah disabled but b/c I have my pedal plugged in, it was engaging the wah (even if I didn't touch it). I pulled the jack...

    U2 Bad (album)

    Input comparison on AxeFX II, Ultra and external pre (FF400)

    Motivation: When recording, I want the best signal chain. Usually this means the most accurate but I'm also ok with printing coloration on the dry signal if it comes from a mic or pre. When I first received the Ultra, I was terribly confused with which inputs to use. I ended up using an...

    USB input, Volume knob and Headphone output

    Axe USB IO + FF400 + Cubase 6 with aggregate device sync problem

    I have set up an aggregate device in on the mac that includes FF400 and AxeFX II USB. No matter what combination of clock sync I choose, the AxeFX's audio degrades after about 1 or 2 minutes and then goes completely silent. From past experience I believe this is a sync issue. Changing the...

    Cabinet Room Size, Mic Spacing
