Yeah, better too much than not enough, IMO. Congrats, man.
Thoughts?
Did that and no soundAre any presets making sound at all?
Just to test, start with a blank preset, add blocks for Input 1 and Output 1 and connect them together. This should at least give you the guitar DI sound.
Depending on the video, it could be an older firmware, his videos are still great for learning about the Axe though! The A/D input level parameter adjusts the noise floor and not the input gain to the grid, so set it to where you sometimes hit the red with your highest output instrument. Adjusting that parameter will give you the same tone, unless you are on the very very extremes, like below 5%. On my Axe III Mk II I ended up leaving that at stock, as my guitars were perfectly tickling the red.Did that and no sound
Turned it off and on.
Now I got sound.
Solved...I think. Now to dive into setting it up with Reaper lol.
Although I will say that I did watch leon's video on initial I/O setup and setting the A/D Input Levels' Instrument Level parameter seems to work differently from mine. In order to "tickle the red," raising the Input 1/Instrument parameter doesn't actually change much (doesn't go higher after default, goes lower though). I noticed he doesn't have the Input 1 Gain parameter though, and that one seems to be doing something for me. Is his firmware just an older version?
Just hooked up AXE III and FC-12 - I am one happy camper - it does sound better and feel to me and way faster at chores than FM3 - if your thinking should I get one over FM3 - I'm so glad I did
FM3 is still an amazing unit - AXE III puts it over the edge for me - what a machine
That said I didnt realize the MK1 has same amount of preset banks 512 compared to the MK2 with 1024 - not crazy about that but just have to sort out some factory presets that I may be able to delete to make room for Fremen / Moke
Does AXE III really sound and feel better than FM3? I'm agonizing over this decision.Just hooked up AXE III and FC-12 - I am one happy camper - it does sound better and feel to me and way faster at chores than FM3 - if your thinking should I get one over FM3 - I'm so glad I did

They sound the same, the differences are in complexity of the patches you can create.Does AXE III really sound and feel better than FM3? I'm agonizing over this decision.

As the former owner of a Porsche 911 and new owner of an Axe-FX III... I think I'm in the right placeImmediatelly reminded of this commercial
100% transferable to the case in point indeed. XD
