    parametric eq settings

    Well I hear it, but the monitors being brighter makes sense. When in doubt, I usually try to simplify the signal chain as much as possible, so I would defeat the PEQ and try to get the right sound using only the AMP +/- CAB

    parametric eq settings

    Without hearing a recording, your problem makes me think of digital clipping on the outputs. If you're playing into a real cab plus using cab simulation, you're getting twice the roll-off on certain frequencies, so that might explain why you think the fuzziness is attenuated. Even if your Axe...

    Patch localized envelope threshold, attack, release

    *slaps forehead* ok, now i get it. so my wish is reality, and what was reality is now a wish :oops:

    Patch localized envelope threshold, attack, release

    Not 'those' settings, the global control settings for ADSR1-2/envelope/LFO, etc. It's the other major half of how the envelope opens and closes. In the patches, I only see things such as slope, start, end, dampening etc.

    Patch localized envelope threshold, attack, release

    Maybe I'm overlooking something trivial, but in working with some envelope settings the other day I noticed that, although having global envelope attack, release, and threshold settings makes it really easy to manage a single guitar's output characteristics across your entire inventory of...

    Trading up

    Just ran into something that I need the Ultra for. Anyone here already gone through upgrading from a standard? I was thinking I would just get the Ultra and sell the Standard later, so I would not have any downtime. Do the Standards sell reliably off the boards/ebay?

    Does Axe-Fx has the note bloom of a tube amp?

    Idk, I'd have to call bs on that. It's a digital device that models an inordinate amount of parameters to give you the dynamic feel of a tube, but it should not change over time (as it heats up for example). However, it *is* much more likely that your ears are changing as they tire over time.

    U2 sounds

    Yea it is a lot of muting and I'm also strumming hard on the low strings after the envelope really closes to accentuate the mids. I've found that If I don't "play" the filter, it never really sounds dramatic enough. I have actually started to like this attribute and by merely changing timing...

    You bet... if you promise to help figure out how his live (in Mexico) slide solo should sound ;)

    U2 sounds

    There is no other guitar on the backing track, but yea, unless you listen to the tail end where there are only drums, you might not know where the low end begins or ends.

    Check out my interpretation of the Mysterious Ways sound. The patch started life based on what some others have posted, but I deviated from that original sound (probably too much). http://soundcloud.com/polizei/mysterious-ways-cover-test

    Are you running 8.1.1? That's what it was created in. What specific error do you get? You may just have to specify where your IR samples are.

    Is Your Axe Fx Enough?

    I fail to understand the logic behind buying the top end because "it's already a very expensive purchase". What most are trying to put into words is "opportunity cost" and in this case, it is not that high. Even if the time came to upgrade, from what I've seen on the boards, people sell used...

    On the verge of buying the Standard

    I went with the standard in an obvious fight against my normal tendency to buy the most expensive model possible. I have seen some patches on AE that are insanely complex that will not run on my rig, but I have also seen that they do not really sound that great. For me, having one amp/cab is...

    Oh my GOD....

    I bought a high end headphone amp years ago and they said that the scratching the pots made was actually do to the them being higher end. Others have said the same thing about the Axe-fx pots. It could all be bullshit though.

    New user, about to do it! (question about rack)

    I ended up getting a gator 3u bag. The gator shallow molded plastic rack was a tad "shallower", but in the end, I agreed with the guy that I prefer not to tear everything up that the rack comes into contact with. Plus, the extra padding the bag has might just end up protecting better in case of...

    Recommend an audio interface

    I haven't used the pci cards myself. All I can is that if their external products are any indication, you'll be in good hands, driver-wise, for a long time to come.

    popping audio?

    I've had my std for about 3 weeks now and like it. I have noticed something odd a couple of times. If I have my guitar plugged in with the volume pot turned all the way down and both the axe and my 12ma are turned on and idle, I will hear a single loud pop after 15 or 20 minutes. It's pretty...

    Recommend an audio interface

    It may be out of the $250 range, but I have had a Maudio Firewire 410 for about 5 or 6 years. In that time I have run it on 2000, XP, and now Windows 7. Their driver support is really great. They take considerable time to release new drivers, because they do so much testing. I'm currently...

    global user slots

    Hmm I've checked the patches and while the first one that sounds right does have a parallel chain right after the cab, I bypassed it and set that block to bypass mute out. It continued to sound the exactly same. I also confirmed that the custom IR wasn't set to use a mic. I even went as far to...

    global user slots

    So I was switching between patches the other night and wanted to fire up a cab mix I had uploaded to a different patch. I had assumed that there were only so many user slots and that they were global. When I selected User Cab 2, the sound was that fizzy, "no cabinet" sound. Are those slots...

    Ableton IR Mixing Rack

    I decided to try mixing some of my own IRs since the Redwirez BigBox impulses individually didn't really sound right to me. Thanks to AndrewSimon and his post on how to mix impulses in a DAW. I used those directions as a basis, but decided I wanted to do it in Ableton Live without purchasing...

    Brit 900

    Hey, thanks for the tip. I tried swapping the 900 for the 800 last night and immediately preferred it. Much less raspier, which I now see written in the documentation. I got some sweet tones on it, but it's going to take a long time to get it exactly right. I did notice that once I went back to...

    Brit 900

    I was trying to match some tones recently from a band that I know has used the 900 in the past. I'm not 100% on any pedals used, but the tone is gainy while retaining some good high string articulation. I tried different combinations of preamp and power amp distortion as well as some drive input...

    standard first week impressions

    This is also my first week. Well, actually my first 3 days. I rid myself of my x3 live a couple of months ago as well. I think the axe UX is much easier to get around once you get used to it. Coming from the pod, I don't think the hardware UX is difficult at all. I really like having a totally...

    Factory preset kills Axe std

    I kinda like the differences in x.02 myself. Like others said, the high end articulation is pretty nice (I'm an AC30 fan). Support said x.02 introduced some changes that make that particular patch a bit too heavy for the std, so no big deal.

    Factory preset kills Axe std

    Just got my axe today and have been tearing through it. I did notice that 152 seems to make the CPU max out, showing the CPU warning message. It's the only preset out of the entire set that did it, but it does seem to be pretty complex. Has that happened to anyone on 9.02?

    Axe PC

    Over the years of using different DAWs and audio interfaces, I have found CPU speed, in general, impacts latency less than the audio interface drivers used by a system. Before anyone posts an absurd outlier, yes, a horribly underpowered CPU might still present problems for a DAW. ASIO, WDM, and...

    Not sure if this is the perfect place for this, but... is anyone using in-ear monitors with their setup and if so, has anyone used Shure SE530's with the fractal?

    new products?

    They are different. The biggest draw back to the PC is portability. The PC is not something I feel like carrying anywhere, but it has a wider range of functions and is much easier to edit. I can usually get my latency down below 20ms and to my ears, I don't feel that is unplayable. At this...

    new products?

    Sure! I'll order you one right now! The cpu is bit older; it's one of the first quadcore extreme intels and I have it overclocked to about 3ghz. That could mean very little though, if the the axe-pc isn't multicore capable.
  36. polizei

    new products?

    I've seen some of the threads about axe-pc, the atomic fr, etc. Since I'm currently on the fence as to what to get, having all these products looming isn't helping. Does fractal have any updates on when the pc software is coming out? There was no info on the pc specs necessary, but I already...
