Recording with the Axe

Hi, It's my first time to record with the Axe Fx 2. I have managed to do a somewhat successful reamp test but I feel that my workflow is pretty inefficient. Question 1: Realtime Track Auditioning with other tracks. My problem is when I try to audition the track for reamping with another...

Legacy Problematic Recording

Hi Everyone, It's my first try at reamping and I was surprised there was no setup at all. However, I'm not sure if I'm missing something. After recording, it sounds slightly different. It's as if the channels sound "separate". Is this an example of phasing? Am I missing something? This is what...

Axe sounds different when recorded?

So my Axe Fx tones sound a lot different when recorded through USB than they do when I'm just jamming through my speakers.. I find that it sounds a lot brighter/twangy and less warm sounding. I usually have to tweak it to sound more like it did before. Anyone else have this issue?

Legacy Eric Johnson - Manhattan cover - video (Quantum 3.2)

Hi Guys! Here's my take on this amazing tune. Quantum 3.2, of course, and my custom scalloped strat in action. Yes, we all know how Eric's tone is incredibly hard to achive, but I'm good with this one. Again it's my weird combination of Tone Match block along with the Cab, but it works for me...

Best Impulse Response for Axe Fx?

Hi I was wondering what are some of the best IR options for Axe Fx. I think the stock cabs sound pretty good but from what I hear, you can get much better tones using different IRs. What are some of the best ones? Does anyone use the stock cabs? I'm looking for ones that would be best for metal.

Do Pro Users Record the Axe-Fx through a mic pre?

What method do the top Pro users of the Fractal Axe-Fx use to record an album? 1. Do they run the balanced outs through a high end mic pre? 2. Does Fractal Audio make a recommendation? 3. Do they use record using the S/PDIF or USB outputs? I realize that different pro users who make albums...

Axe Fx II Direct with USB to Mac/PC: The right way to set up everything?

It's a question that's been picking my mind a lot. What are the parameteres (both on the Axe Fx I/O page and on whatever DAW) to look for and how to set them up the best way? Running direct into my Macbook with Cubase, I get 2.6ms input latency and 2.9ms output latency (enough to throw me off...

Axe Fx and Scarlett2i2 on a Mac with Cubase not working

Sooooo, i kinda need this to be sorted out. Cubase recognizes the Interface, with correct inputs and outputs, but doesn't let me record or give me sound. As soon as I connect the Scarlett via USB it starts to flash Red Halos (maybe it's an error thing). I can record using the Axe direct with USB...

Axe FX II and Reaper help?

Hello, I can't seem to get the Axe to show in the Devices menu under the ASIO driver. I think all the drivers installed correctly, no problems with Axe edit or anything else. Anyone else have this problem in Reaper? I would certainly appreciate any help.

Is Axe Fx Viable?

I have heard from people like Ola Englund that the Axe Fx isn't as good as real amps. But isn't tone really subjective? Personally I think that Periphery has some of the best sounding guitar tones that I've heard on an album. I haven't bad much experience with real tube amps but I really do like...

Anyway to edit the sounds/patches after recording/playing?

Hey guys, I love my Axe-Fx but one thing I find frustrating is that I can only hear how the patch edits sound if I have my guitar in my hand, and have to constantly play the same riff over and over again to hear the differences. Is there a way in which I can record a riff, say on the Axe FX...
