New Axe FX III user here...totally blown away and loving it. I've been scouring the net to figure out how to re-amp with this unit in Ableton Live and I can't seem to get it to work despite following guidelines. Basically, I have a set of guitar tracks that I had already recorded in Live before I bought the Axe FX III. I was using a variety of amp VST plugins to play the tracks, but now want to use the Axe.
This is what I've done so far.
1. I have a audio track in Live ready to go with the raw guitar file (no processing, amp, etc),
2. I changed the audio setting in Live -- set the Axe FX III as sound source, input and output, activated all of the inputs and outputs, bit rate is correct at 48.
3. I went into the Axe I/O settings and changed Input 1 Source to USB (Channels 5/6)
4. USB is connected between my Macbook pro and the Axe
This is where things get mirky for me. I'm not sure how to setup the audio track to play the raw guitar track using the preset sounds I have selected in the Axe. How do I set up the Audio From section of the guitar audio track? I tried setting it to External In and 5/6...didn't work. None of the channels work. What I hear is still the raw guitar track. What am I missing? Do I need to be routing things differently?
Finally, is there a way for me to plug my guitar into my digital audio interface (Scarlett), like I did before when using my VST plugins, and then somehow have Live use the Axe as if it were a plugin?
