Last weekend I had a recording session with an original artist I play with. We were recording a series of live videos that will be released soon. Her stuff requires a lot of ambient guitar sounds, so there's quite a bit of delay and reverb going on.
Up to now, I've used a different preset in the Axe for each unique sound in a tune. Sometimes for each section (into, verse, chorus etc). This allows me to stay very organized as far as grouping all my presets together and keeping organized both in the Axe and on my for controller (Liquid Foot 12+).
However, as you can hear in a couple places in the video, sometimes i work my way into a corner and my spillover ends up not happening. This is because I was using the Multi-delay block, which doesn't support spillover across presets.
I know people are using scenes to make that happen, but I'm worried and integrating that into my setup. That will essentially add another layer of complexity onto the act of switching and managing presets. Does the verse going into the chorus require a preset change or simply a scene change? If it's a scene change, how do I make sure that I trigger that scene change on, say, the verse going into the chorus and NOT the bridge going into the last chorus and how do I prevent myself from changing scenes on the wrong preset if I'm trying to correct a mistake mid-song?
It would be ideal if each song could work off of a single corresponding preset, but that just doesn't work. First, that's extremely limiting in terms of the signal routing and processing capabilities for one song. Second, switching long delays from X to Y on the same block still produces screeches and warbles if the delay time is altered. Not good.
I'm open to suggestions since people don't seem to have as many issues with this as I do.
