    Had a rough Axe night

    Same things happens on mine running 2.0 and a Behringer FCB1010. Even the jog wheel on the AXE FX II locks up! Probably just a bug. I really have to install the new firmware!

    Help with TMA and Mark V

    Hi all, I tried Tone Matching the Mark I crunch sound at 6:40 or so in this video John Petrucci -- Mark V -- Settings and Tone Tips (Part 1) - YouTube I tried using the USA Lead and Mark IIc+ amps - all of them really. I owned a Quad for a few years and from what I remember keeping the treble...

    6.0 Short Demo - Euro Red, Bass, Drums

    Ok - I have no idea if the TMA block gets saved with the Patch so I exported it as a user cab (We Die Young TMA.syx). Also attached is the patch itself (Meanie Chunk.syx) and the old Ultra Recto2 cab. Enjoy and please let me know how it works on your Axe II. -g

    6.0 Short Demo - Euro Red, Bass, Drums

    Just a quick demo since I was happy with the preset. I used Tone Match as well from We Die Young (my own though) amount 25% since I think more sounds... odd.. Triple tracked in the following manner: Preset with drive and TMA on - left channel Preset without drive but TMA on - right channel...

    Recto New Orange KUDOS

    just a quick update - I blended 2 identical amps together last night for practice. One had the PA sim and one didn't. The mix was 60/40 with the PA sim amp lower. Sounded damn good.

    Recto New Orange KUDOS

    I know it is... but I can't understand why I keep getting lost in the live mix when I'm using the amp sims. And I"m not monkeying with the amp's settings - they're just too 'hi-fi' for lack of a better word. What kind of rig do you use live? An FRFR? Care to share a patch that you believe sounds...

    Recto New Orange KUDOS

    I've still gotta say however that the amps in the Axe II do not sound right with the PA sim on. It's really odd. And that's through an Atomic.. it's like the PA sim sucks all the beef out of the amps and hollows them out. For the life of me I don't understand why but at least I can live with it. :-)

    Trying for the Killswitch Engage End of Heartache tone...

    I just tried that - works well, maybe because the TS does a low pass and high pass before the distortion... thanks for the tip!

    Trying for the Killswitch Engage End of Heartache tone...

    I'm using the KSE rock band MOGG file and they either 'injured' the tracks during processing or KSE has some fizz too... But a lowpass filter at 13000 seems to get rid of some of it.
  16. G

    Trying for the Killswitch Engage End of Heartache tone...

    Here's the patch and the Ultra's Recto2 cab you'll need. And I hear the fizz too... might try to dial that out... Also there's some other things in the patch that aren't active that you can delete.. I was experimenting with the filter block pre-amp position to tighten it but didn't end up using...

    Atomic Cab Impulse?

    p.s. I just did a search (should have done that first I guess) and this topic was covered in 2009. Still, to me, the Atomic does change the sound a bit so I'll keep experimenting because I still think an impulse would be good to have. But it's probably my secondary (Paradigm speakers and Sony...

    Atomic Cab Impulse?

    Hi all, A lot of times I don't have access to my Atomic. It's usually at our practice space. And you know how it is with patches... they always sound different when you get there. Now, I know it wouldn't be 'exact' or 'foolproof' but an impulse of an Atomic after a Cab IR might help out folks...

    Capturing the Ultra's stock cabs? Or exporting them?

    Just a note to anyone reading this... I had my parameters in the Axe 2 set up wrong so I've got capture working. Attached is the Recto2 cab from the 11 firmware for anyone who needs it... -g

    Recto New Orange KUDOS

    One other thing I wanted to add. When I create patches at home on my Sony Power amp / Paradigm Titan speakers they sound brittle and thin on the Atomic so this patch might be dark to you.

    Recto New Orange KUDOS

    Actually I'm still struggling with the MOP thing... Yes, the Quad (MarkIIC+) does so much more but tonight it's a Harvester of Sorrow kind of night. Attached is what I've got right now... with a Recto on Y config for fun.

    Capturing the Ultra's stock cabs? Or exporting them?

    Hi all, I've done some searches and came up empty. I know capturing an impulse of hardware is possible - I used to use Voxengo's software to do that. The Mesa Quad recording out for instance and my Fishman Aura (no idea where those impulses went - too many hard drives ago). So when I read the...

    Recto New Orange KUDOS

    I've just gotta say, in 4CM A/B comparisons and at similar settings, the Recto New Orange sounds VERY close to LD1 Red on my Triaxis v2... NICE JOB FRACTAL!!! Signal chain is Agile PRS knockoff with Bill Lawrence L500s -> Axe II - Amp block - FXloop Block - Cab block (Recto RW I think) ->...

    Using the AxeFx to emulate vocal preamps

    LOL good idea! Actually a friend of mine has a UA6176 but I doubt he'd let me send it to Cliff. Fractal support wrote back - the answer is, the AxeFx doesn't have enough gain. I wonder if that's because they assume I can't get the signal to line level first. Course, the only thing I have is...

    Using the AxeFx to emulate vocal preamps

    Hi all, I'm debating buying a decent preamp/compressor to go with my recording interface. I currently have a Shure SM7b and an Apogee Duet. Before I spend money on real tube gear I'm wondering (out loud) if the AxeFx can act as a tube pre/compressor (after I send it a line level mic signal...

    Metalish Track 'Zer0 Crossing' - looking for feedback

    Thanks for the feedback Spewnz! I'll get some patches put up. It's not really quad tracked, it's actually double tracked (played twice) with 2 amps per take. Like I said, they're eq-ed quite a bit. I thought they sounded great until they were in the mix. Then I realized they were too dark...

    Metalish Track 'Zer0 Crossing' - looking for feedback

    Give it a listen if you have time - I'm wondering how it sounds outside my sphere \m/ Sometimes you get too close to a mix to really 'hear it' anymore... Axe FX dual tracked for guitars (2 amps per take, eq-ed and multipressed because I always change my mind on tone later) Bass and Drums are...

    Axe Digital Outs - DIgital XLR???

    Hi all, What sort of cable does one use to take advantage of the Digital XLR out on the Axe? And is it a stereo connection? What sort of connector might be on the other end? I only have SPDIF in on my firebox so would I go with the SPDIF output on the Axe instead? And if so is it a regular...

    Analog or S/PDIF?

    We're using the Axe Ultra and a Duet in the 'studio' right now... Apogee converters are pretty awesome! Don't worry about the lack of SPDIF. ;)

    How to hook up Axe-fx and Presonus Firebox

    Hey boogie, I'm pretty sure you need 2 midi cables. (I'm using a firebox too btw.) Then go to the settings in Axe-Edit and set your midi in and out to be the firebox midi ports. As for recording via SPDIF I'm honestly not sure as I haven't used my SPDIF input yet... ;) -g

    Das Metal / Recto New Clip

    Oh, I forgot to address this. I have a lightly mixed medium room verb in the brutal narrow and wide patches. During tracking I killed the verb on the narrow patch and left it on in the wide patch. I also killed the delay in patch 304 when I tracked this but left the verb on I think. Soloing...

    Tada! First off, thank you so much for listening to this stuff! :) Secondly, the clip I originally posted was a test to see how my Axe-Fx Ultra would sit in a mix and of course had post production because, well, that's what you'd want on a recording made to hopefully impress people! So in the...

    Das Metal / Recto New Clip

    No custom IRs, and very little tweaking was done to the amps. Alot of how this sounds is the effect of quad tracking and a good mastering plugin on the mix. I need to figure out how to use that Multi-band compressor in the Axe for more direct punch. Glad you like it!! Oh, the Bill Lawrence...

    Hi all, I thought I'd toss a clip in here too. It's quad tracked (of course) using slightly different EQed dual amp patches using the Das Metal and Recto New and Recto Orange amps that I'll uplaod if anyone is interested. The drums are Addictive Drums and the bass is an Ibanez soundgear. It's...

    Triaxis/Mark II settings in the Axe... help?

    Thank you everyone for your ideas. I've been doing my testing with a Mesa 395 Stereo Simulclass amp through a 2x12 closed back cabinet running 2 8ohm Vintage 30s. The global power amp and cab settings are bypassed. I'd should also mention that the tubes in my Tri and Quad are old so that may...

    Axe-Fx Serial Numbers

    Hi all, Does anyone know what the standard for the Axe-Fx serial numbers are? Is there a way to know which unit you have?

    AxeFx Ultra amp sim and Mesa Triaxis dual amp setup???

    Thank you both for your replies. The cab block is disabled since I'm using a real cab. So the trick might be to add some latency to the amp block somehow? Do I need to create a full dual path in the Axe? :) Thanks again! You guys are great! Off topic, how does this clip sound to you all...

    AxeFx Ultra amp sim and Mesa Triaxis dual amp setup???

    Hi all, I am trying to run the amp sim in the AxeFx Ultra and my Triaxis simultaneously by splitting the input in the Axe and sending it to an amp block and an fxl block and then bringing them back together into the cab block. The sound is really odd, sort of phased almost. Any advice on how...
