This song is open A. Songs in the key of E tend to get a little flubby (with both Drop and VC). This comparison is more to prove that the FM9 can now replace the Drop on your pedal board.Very cool. I have never used the VC. After reading some discussions and then hearng this I gave it a go.
Is the trick not to play the E & A strings open?
Thanks for the quick reply. OK, makes sense. Still sounds useful for me. I'll stay away from that. Plenty of other songs that my voice would enefit from 1/2 step or so down. I have a friend that continually tells me just tune your guitars down 1/2 step since I am only in home studio recording. Since I do not need it that much the VC option is better for me.This song is open A. Songs in the key of E tend to get a little flubby (with both Drop and VC).

The latency is very small. I can barely tell it is there.For me isn't the sound, it's the delay/lag time in the sound from fractal products using the Virtual Capo. It isn't all the time, but every so often it is a noticeable hiccup, especially going clean into IEMs.

Has there been an update to the Virtual capo?Same here…
Once the other bugs are squashed I’m anxious to install the new FW and try just for the VC. The latency was always the deal breaker for me. You could always notice it especially with quick chugs on low notes. I know you can’t totally eliminate it but can’t wait to try…
Have you read the FW 2.0 Beta thread?Has there been an update to the Virtual capo?
Just did! Sorry havent been as active on the forums or with guitar playing recently. I read all the updates but I didn't see one specific to the virtual capo. Did I just overlook it in the big list from the other thread?Have you read the FW 2.0 Beta thread?
What products are you talking about? I noticed with the fm3 which I haven't used in a long time but not with the III or fm9.For me isn't the sound, it's the delay/lag time in the sound from fractal products using the Virtual Capo.

Improvement: Pitch Block and Pitch Follower use new pitch detection based on Axe-FX III
The FM9 is definitely better than the the FM3. But FM9 VC still wasn’t quite ready for prime time IMO. I have high hopes for this release though…What products are you talking about? I noticed with the fm3 which I haven't used in a long time but not with the III or fm9.
