Hi there!
I'm quite close to making the jump from Axe 2 Mk 2 to Axe 3 Mk2.
But I value my time.
There is an old wisdom about film studios, where many of them run on antiquated software (many versions behind the newest) just so everything is stable and surely works. A lot of bands do that as well, I remember Wintersun touring with Axe FX Ultras for many years before taking the time to make the patches for Axe 2, even though they owned the gear.
I use Windows with Cubase, and everything works super beautifully with my Axe 2.
Is there anything that could be a hindrance to acclimatize to the new Axe 3? Is it really like Axe 2 but just sounds better?
I mean, possible scenarios would be Axe 3 USB not working / dropping out, speakers going silent suddenly and need to boot the Axe 3 regularly, IO settings in Cubase acting strange / having to configure things every time I start.
These might not make a whole ton of sense, but hopefully someone understands me. Anyone with Windows experience who worked with Axe 2 - are there any new things that you wish you knew before upgrading, or you feel like are important to know? What to prepare for?
I'm cool with editing patches and know that will take a moment, but if the Axe 3 is as rock solid as the 2 as studio equipment, then I'll gladly upgrade.
If there's some irritating little tinkering and bugs, I'll rather just stay with the 2 where everything works
