So I decided to take the plunge and finally get an actually audio interface instead of using the usb on the axe and using it for ALL my audio etc. From the few times Ive had the II and all the threads and such Ive read of people just saying use the usb for recording I wasn't expecting much of an improvement in sound going to an actually sound card. I just wanted to take some of the workload of the axe fx's processors. Decided to get the Universal Audio Apollo Twin. Got it set up, download my free plugins etc etc. Plugged my Axe FX in, loaded up one of their "legendary" mic pre plugins(I think its called the 610b) Started playing and Holy F*ck, my brain almost exploded lol. That was the sound Ive been looking for. Turning off the plugin yielded my straight axe fx tone(Cameron ccv) which sounded good off the bat but turning that plugin back on was like a moment of enlightenment:ugeek. Now, I know I could probably get that tone by constantly tweaking and playing with the eq's and everything else in the axe fx, But it was just so easy using the Apollo. I would definitely suggest anyone who has been using the usb on the axe fx to record look into getting an actual interface.
