Hi Austin hope everything good with you.Hi guys:
Now that The 1000+ Naked Amps TonePack firmware v5 update for the Axe III is done, I hope to get to the Dream Rigs ARES 1.03 update for the XL, XL+ and Mark II over the next few weeks. In fact I've started it.
Noticed a few things under ARES 1.03...
1. First, make sure your Out1 knob is at the max if going into a DAW or digital console.
2. Now, I don't have any explanation for this, but I am noticing on my XL that the S/PDIF out signal for a preset, compared to the XLR out signal for the same exact preset, is about 1.6db hotter on my digital console (UAudio).
3. Unlike the Axe-Fx III or the AX8, there is no +4db or -10db pad software switch on the hardware
4. I usually level presets to the S/PDIF signal level on my digital console, but in this case I'm going to put a -1.6db transparent pad on the incoming S/PDIF signal and instead will level all the Dream Rigs presets to the XLR output signal level (leveled to an average -12db under the new firmware), because most of you use that for live gigs.
5. I'm going to play with the Speaker Compression a bit. I usually leave it off for live gigs, but ARES uses it. I may use none or a little bit, maybe not as much as the default value (and it does affect the overall output volume).
It will take time to check everything out, but I do hope have it done before end of summer (if not sooner).
When done, this will be probably be the last free update for the XL/XL+ and Mark II 1000+ Dream Rigs TonePack, since it is highly unlikely Cliff is going to further update the firmwares for these units. Not to worry, these units still sound great!
If you have found any errors in the current version, please let me know here or my email (on my website) so I can address them in the update to come.
Last, I do eventually plan to do an Dream Rigs Effects Block Library tool -- first on Axe-Fx III, then for the Ax8, then comes the Axe-Fx -- for release later this year or maybe in 2020 -- so know that future products are in the making for the Axe-Fx too!
Thanks everyone!
Hi buy that pack and it’s wonderful... But I’ve got the firmware Quantum 10.01.
When you made the update to the Ares 1.03 it will be pay again or just have the update near the firmware 10.01?
Thanks a lot once more Austin.
