Greetings,
I continue to try to understand the AX8 a little better, and I continue to feel like I am struggling. In a nutshell: I can USE the AX8 (and have done so for gigs) but my functionality is pretty much limited to employing the existing factory Presets. When I try to create my own, I run into problems. In an effort to try an move ahead, I thought I would seek better understanding of the Input and Output blocks as a starting point.
The Input block -- as I understand it -- includes a noise gate. I'll confess that I have never used a noise gate before, but I read the manual (page 64 discusses this), and I think I can learn by experimentation. Question: Is the factory default generally setting the various noise gate parameters such that they are pretty good for most uses? In other words, should I stay pretty close to the factory settings unless I really know what I am doing?
In the Output block -- after selecting "Scenes" -- there are (8) output (volume level) sliders presented, one slider for each of the (8) scenes. Am I correct that one can adjust the level of each scene in a given Preset from within this screen? I ask because recently there was discussion that one should employ "Scene Controllers" for this function, but I never understood the rationale. Adjusting scene levels in the Output block would seem much easier...just trying to understand if there is a drawback to doing this.
Thanks very much for any insights.
