Hey Guys,
When I got my Axe a few years ago, I rushed in and installed anything and everything I could find related to the Axe on my PC. I may not want all that now. I could use a little help.
Briefly - my setup for my home studio is a Windows 10 PC with lots of RAM and disk space. I have all the popular DAWS, I tend to use StudioOne Pro the most. I also use a Presonus 24.4.2 mixer as my soundcard. I have a very nice set of studio monitors, as well as a Matrix GF1000X and two Boogie Rectifier 2x12 cabs I run in stereo in my music room that Output 2 is using oin the Axe. Output 1 goes to the PC..
At some point I added the AxeFX drivers that apparently ID the Axe as a potential sound processing device. It comes up as an option in my "Playback Devices" and "Recording Devices" in the sound card admin screens. I am sure you understand what I mean.
I would really like to get rid of the "sound card" aspect of the Axe. Not that it is a bad thing - I am sure it isn't, but it competes for resources and it more importantly uses CPU on the Axe. However I do still want to have the Axe available as a source of input and as a resource. What is the best overall setup for me considering I don't necessarily want to use the Axe as a sound card, but want to have it available to my DAWs etc? Is there a document or instruction that covers this somewhere? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
