Axe-FX II Tutorial (en): Heavy Metal Sound

[berndkiltz]

At all who think there is to much bottom end in the sound. You are right! This is a how-to tutorial to show you the Axe-FX2.

I will take more care on the frequencies in the future. But I Focus more on making it understandable and useful information for newcomers to the AxeFx2.

If you are a pro and can make a better metal sound, you are VERY Welcome to share tipps and Video links here!

@berndkiltz I agree that you have made good structure of the sound for future EQ. Many people don't understand what structure should be to have clear sound in the end after EQ. I can post my sound with Axe FX Ultra watch?v=Wk3VM1OtYvg and I have to say, that without EQ it sounds something like subj.

10:00 that was as chunky as chunky can be. Excellent =)

How many inputs can you use simultaneously in an AXE FX ?

Wow, this would take too much effort to learn. I'm sticking with my Pig Nose.

holy shit thats confusing

Thank you!

Uh....you're bottoming out like crazy. This sounds like SHIT!

[berndkiltz]

@XSDarkMoonZX There may be too much bass in the sound. Guess what: You can adjust that parameter and put less bass in your sound...

[XSDarkMoonZX]

@berndkiltz: Really? I didn't know that! Sounds like you should have figured that out before posting this video.

@berndkiltz No, he is right, there is too much low end on your patch. Needs less lows and slightly more mids.

Listening through seinheiser studio headphones.

how do u record the guitar sound sir?

is it like this..guitar--> axe fx 2 --> recording software, or it comes from you camera's mic?

[berndkiltz]

@naochiMalmsteen Of course I record the sound directly to the AxeFX2 over USB. I would not recomend doing it over the Camera Microphones, this sounds like crap most of the time (unfurtunaltely many Axe2 Videos on YT are done like this, which gives you a false impression of the sound. But some people don't know how to add the additional audio to the Video programm and it is a little more work!)

I'm new to the Axe-FX II and I have found your videos very helpful. Thanks!

[berndkiltz]

@xnuralratiugx Make a better one, make a Video, and post it. Seems like some people find these Videos helpful. Anyone Can critisize, contribute or stfu.

[berndkiltz]

@berndkiltz Oh great, he did stfu ;-) Would have been great to see a Video with a better sound though... ;)

[immortalsoloist]

The Tutorial is really good man. Good job!

[klarqesebekra]

This is a terrible representation of the Metal tones from the axe-fx.

[berndkiltz]

@klarqesebekra Do it better, make a Video, post it here or it never happened.

@berndkiltz

He doesn't need to; after a few minutes, these guys (watch?v=Mu7JUgits84) took care of it for him.
