[Jonesx91x]

Would you suggest always recording via usb? Or are there situations where you would rather record with mics?

[spetersonmusic]

@Jonesx91x I just use it direct.

[UNiQUETUNE]

perfect tone...

[musicrepairs]

I thought you pulled some pretty warm tones.

[FarazAhmed2308]

hey is it possible to connect through an interface with SPDIF OR AES? Wouldnt it be better results? What do you think?

[spetersonmusic]

@FarazAhmed2308 Depends - all sound the same to me.

[ltayl1]

Wow. I'm shocked. Digital Effects have come a long way since they were first introduced.

[XxTaVo205xX]

How much was it?



[spetersonmusic]

@XxTaVo205xX They are $2200 USD if you wait list it.

[HappySquierGuy]

Obviously this is basically a box totally crammed with tons of cool juicy tonez! :o)

Nice presentation, thanks!

[AVOZDAVERDADE200011]

THIS EQUIPAMENT HAS SAX SOUND ? THANKS

[spetersonmusic]

@AVOZDAVERDADE200011 No, but it does have a synth.

[jimmah01]

Hahaha.. Dude, don't be so hard on yourself! The video was great - very helpful! :)

[DrGit]

[zack9922299]

[spetersonmusic]

@zack9922299 LOL. I was just having fun.

[simonpvo2]

Hey Scott, i got a question about the Axe Fx II; do i need to plug it in with USB as an interface, or can i also record directly into another interface i already got? Thanks

Simon

[usta4070]

Thanks Scott. Still awaiting someone to post an axe-2 video that goes to a FRFR speaker rather than a direct tone. Only because I want to go with a amp and PA monitor type set up :) Nice tones you have.

[x89150152]

how exactly did you record this direct? USB interface?

[spetersonmusic]

@x89150152 Yes - direct via USB from the Axe-FX II. No interface needed to track.

[cwalker67]

Great job, Scott. Fractal will be proud of your demo. Craig

[spetersonmusic]

@cwalker67 Thanks Craig!!

[CarterFilmLtd]

too many excuses in the text! haha sounds great man

[Wallimann]

Nice video!

How did you get the Axe II though? I signed up on the waiting list but didn't know they started shipping them already?

[spetersonmusic]

@Wallimann I was (and still am) a beta tester on the unit. They are now shipping, though there is a wait list for the Axe-FX 2.

[U2GuitarTutorials]

Sounds great. You said you are recording direct with the USB correct? Then from your computer what is your path to record the audio, again? I'm listening on Bose speakers on my computer and it sounds great.

[spetersonmusic]

@U2GuitarTutorials Totally straight in through USB - direct. There is no other path - I recorded the video on a separate computer and then mixed them together to do this video.

[U2GuitarTutorials]

@spetersonmusic: Thx, which software did you use to record it from the USB?

[spetersonmusic]

@U2GuitarTutorials I use Reaper. 

[BorderRebels]

Still deciding about one of these; your tones are better than most demos I've heard (especially on the Fractal website). Thanks. :)

[spetersonmusic]

@ryanstewartguitar Funk Logic rules!

[peterjhamm]

Do you basically use the same FX chains in your patches? Like you always have a couple boosts, a wah, certain delays, etc.?

[spetersonmusic]

@peterjhamm Yes - I normally follow the same template so that my controller pedal is essentially a pedalboard for me with the effects all in the same place constantly .
