Gain staging.

not sure if this was a joke, but i did a video regarding this that many enjoyed:

Preset Gain-Staging and Preventing Internal Clipping – Axe-FX II : Katsu Kuri Media Blog

i have planned to do videos on many of the topics mentioned in this thread (and from a previous thread like this from me), but i've been very busy launching a new retail store for a client. i hope to have time to make few videos. the good thing is, you could have 3 different videos from different people on the exact same topic, and they will all be beneficial, as long as the information is correct of course.

Here is a rough outline that I did in ten minutes. Make each video segment between 4:00 and 15: minutes in small chunks. Release them as a series and make it fun and entertaining. Keeping it short makes them precise and to the point. breaking them up makes them a weekend watch or a pre purchase anticipatory excitement study of what they are buying. I stopped at MFC but you could go on and on. Make the whole thing 5 hrs long in total and you will have a fan base for life. Once the new unit arises re do it or update it by doing what has changed.

Its a lot of work, but has been needing to be done for a real long time. the fact is that most people are visual learners.

It is great you are going to do this.

Ideally, work your way through the manual and do a video on every section in it. Don't forget to do videos for all the new things that aren't in the manual yet.

Lots of great videos already out there from Chris and also from Bernd Kiltz.

KKMmusic - YouTube

AxeFx & MFC Videos English - YouTube

Looking forward to any new videos you or others do. They really are a great help.

I'd like to know how to set the gates properly for different types of sounds.

I'd also like to know more about how to set the compression and multi-band compression.

Series vs parallel effects.

Setting up for in ears.

Setting up for stereo direct to mains, and also a set up on stage with Axe, cabs, and power amp, at the same time.

How to build presets that sound good going to front of house, on stage, and also direct for recording at the same time.

Videos on all the advanced parameters in the amp block.

There are tons of tutorial videos I'd love to see done by someone eventually.

Just want to say that I REALLY appreciate your videos. You give the most comprehensive and complete tutorials regarding the axe on the web. I don't even have an axe yet, but you'll be a critical part in helping ease the transition. Kudos!

Firmware updating and preset updating using fractal bot, for both pc and mac. I know there are already some informative vids already, but I'm talking about from absolute scratch. Starting from flipping the laptop open, every button click, every single step in precisely the right order. I'm fine with v9.02, but until such a video is made, I don't ever forsee updating.
