It is still reachable to release by July 4 (If exclude the eventual video tutorials and FC layout extras). Bank 1 is done, Bank 2 is coming along fast now and will be done by this Sunday, and Bank 3 is next week and the week after. Periphery’s Mark Holcomb (who lives in Austin) agreed this week to help me with some of the bank 3 metal/modern prog amp style presets too, which is super kind of him. So that is still my goal. Stuff can still happen to delay things though...Time is running out toward July 4th, as you announced for FM3 presets. Hoping that no delay occurs during the timeframe now and then...awaiting now...

Forgive me AB, and every other preset maker, but every preset pack or single preset I've ever purchased or downloaded has needed adjustments to work for me. Scene levels, overall preset levels, tonal balance, it all needs to be set up for my guitar, my hands, my monitoring, my ears, my neuroses, yadda.I can't wait! It's such a pain for me to get levels set between presets and scenes because the rest of the band has a short attention span for that sort of thing Having that done for me saves so much time, totally worth the price. What will the price be anyway?
I think you’re assuming that there is some known frequency of firmware releases, or a schedule. There isn’t. I think these vendors do so out of generosity unless they put something in writing to that effect.Well vendors would still need to update their presets because if someone is just buying the presets now they'd likely expect that they're for the latest firmware. I'd think the consideration of updating is built into the price, but maybe not. I'd understand if there needed to be a small update charge, especially for something as huge as the naked amps pack.
The best way to get things dialed in is in a whole band setting. With a dozen presets each with 5-6 scenes the time adds up. With the naked amps pack I had to tweak very little. Starting with presets made by an expert saves me a bunch of time and therefore money. Not having to mix and match scenes from different presets because the packs are built with live performance in mind saves me even more time making it an even better value for me.Forgive me AB, and every other preset maker, but every preset pack or single preset I've ever purchased or downloaded has needed adjustments to work for me.

I absolutely don't mean AB's stuff isn't useful, it absolutely is. Just don't plan on it being wall to wall perfection straight out of the box, just download and gig the Garden. That's not reality in my experience.
Give yourself time to work this stuff out, make it your own, without singers and all breathing down your neck.
YMMV, just my $0.00002 etc.

Amen - If you play in a band (not a bedroom), then to sound good and punch through the mix, "its all about those mids baby, all about dem mids." Thats' why I use a lot of low end cut and some hi cut - getting those mids focused.The best way to get things dialed in is in a whole band setting.

Will the bass pack for the III make use of dual amps, or be single amp blocks? Determining if I should save for a 3 for my bass rig or rock the fm3Also - yes, there will be a 200+ Bass TonePack for III and FM3, that comes after I get the FM3 Dream Rigs out.
Probably just 1 amp block, and will design it on FM3 initially layout-wise, but it will work on Axe-Fx III.Will the bass pack for the III make use of dual amps, or be single amp blocks? Determining if I should save for a 3 for my bass rig or rock the fm3
Rhydian, the two presets you mention in your post won’t have that issue on firmware 12.07. Something changed in firmware 12.08 and 12.09 that causes the issue, and I am told Fractal Audio is aware of it and it will be fixed in future firmware.Hi Austin Buddy,
Got the Axe FX III on June 7th; updated to firmware 12p9.
Bought your Naked Amp Tone Packs yesterday ('today'.... it's 1 am in the morning here in the UK and I've been playing through the sounds for hours!!)
Came across a few little glitches for firmware 12p9/Tone Pack combo.
The two JVM Satch Patches (61 and 62 on your inventory) drop out and pop.
Similarly, so does the 2Ch Dual Rec (no 105).
I've not played all the patches (yet!) so this is an anecdotal offering rather than a comprehensive test.
The good news is I've restored firmware 12p7 (found it on a French axefx site- axefx.fr , seems legitimate) and the problematic presets work fine.
Got to do some re-amping tomorrow, so I'm leaving 12p7 in place....
Peace
Rhydian
Roll back to 12.07 until Cliff and company release the fix in mext firmware update is all I can suggest. That timing is beyond my control. It’s not a specific preset issue from all I understand. The next firmware should solve the issue, until then, just roll back if you need to use those affected presets for something.Hi .... still waiting for firmware that will solve problem with two amps presets , many ones from buddy s pack , even if this Fw add nothine else ...
That firmware is out now -- see my above post.Hi .... still waiting for firmware that will solve problem with two amps presets , many ones from buddy s pack , even if this Fw add nothine else ...
