Is it collapsing to mono?
maybe post recordings and a patch?
There were 2 things causing this to happen with my setup (Logic Pro X)
1- The session was in 44khz, and the AxeFX outputs 48kHz, bouncing tracks down muddied up the guitar tone, almost like putting a blanket on it.
2- Logic has a Normalizing feature that was making all my mixes sound like trash, turning it off gave me exactly what I was hearing in the DAW pre-bounce.
Not sure if this is part of the reason you’re having issues, but it sounds like the same problem.
Something like this has been happening to me too, only it happens to the live sound, not the recording. Best I can describe it is sort of like I have a flanger effect on it...sort of? Like you're hearing it in tunnel or something. Only it happens to the live signal as I'm playing. I haven't actually tried recording that sound, but I guess I should, to see if it ends up on the track.
I've been using Garage Band as like a scratchpad to get down ideas down quickly and noticed that when it's running for a few minutes, my sounds gets all weird. So I started using Studio One Prime instead, but have noticed the same thing. And it's not like it's set to sound that way, because when I first begin recording everything will sound normal. It's only after a few minutes that this happens. Not sure the cause or how to fix it, but it's damned obnoxious.
Thanks, I'll check that out! I'm not doing anything anything unusual, just recording guitar tracks on Studio One or GarageBand. Guitar into Input 1, FM3 into my MacBook using the USB. And I hear it whether I've got cans on or I'm playing through the monitors.It sounds like you might have input monitoring turned on when you shouldn't, but without knowing the details about what you're doing and what you're trying to do, it's impossible to offer any specific advice. I'd suggest looking at the recording guide for instructions about how to set things up: https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/axe-fx-for-the-recording-musician.177592/
