Hi, it's been 11 days since my Fractal Axe Fx III mark II arrived.
I have used all my free time since the day it came, maybe more than I should, my wife is a little pissed off,
but I've been very worried because I can not get a sound that doesn't sounds compressed,
after each session I think about throwing in the towel and giving it back, but I'm so excited to make it sound great and finally enjoy it, that I really need your help.
I've been working creating about 5 presets, 3 clean and 2 high gain (trying to match actual recordings)
... so I think the clean ones sound good, maybe not wow, but ok, but the high gain sound is compressed as hell very digitally, I have been working with the levels and auditioning around 2000 ultrares cab ir's, some third party, but I can not get rid of the compressed sound.
The only good thing is that "in the mix" with a track with uncompressed drums and bass, it sounds really good and the compressed sound is not audible.
Do you guys have any tip for me?
