I've had the axe fx ii for a couple weeks. I'm able to create great sounding patches, but when I am tracking in my daw (ableton live 8) the sound quality noticeably decreases as opposed to jamming straight out of the axe fx. In the daw it sounds tinny, digital, hollow... etc.
I'm using the axe fx as an interface with headphones. Latency is not a problem (6ms). I have output 2 set to usb and have all my patches ending with an fx loop in the signal chain, so I'm only hearing my guitar coming out of the daw rather than the axe fx itself (or both, which what was happening before making those modifications). I do this because I want to track with the drums I program in the daw.
Is the reduced sound quality due to using the axe fx as an interface? Is the solution to buy a third party interface that permits a higher sample rate? Something else?
I notice that if I EQ the signal in ableton, it does sound better, but I want my guitar to sound like it does when i'm not listening through my daw, which isn't happening.
Any tips on resolving this issue?
