Axe-FX II Tutorial (en): Reamping

[@TeddyArunskiMusic]

I'm a little late... but you helped me so much, I just thought you should know. I was so frustrated until this video. THANK YOU!

[@KennyGraves_]

you dont receive enough views for how useful you videos are. Thanks from the U.S.

[@rafaelbreton]

I just want to thank you, because it is midnight and I was stuck trying to reamp some guitars for a record I'm mixing, and your tutorial saved my night. Would like to show it when it is finished. Greetings from Mexico!

[@KevinSmithdc]

Awesome tutorial! I never really understood what re-amping was. I've seen people in the Fractal forum talking about it, but didn't quite follow along. Thanks to this amazing lesson, I'm in the know. Thank you!

[@dwg116]

Great video as always man! A lot of people assume everyone knows what ReAmping is and what its for. I didnt and am glad you made this so thanks!

[@0bservathor]

Hello Bernd. Great tutorial. Is it possible to listen to reamped guitar track and e.g. the drum track simultaneously without processing the drum track by Axe FX2? Thanks

[@shooweri3666]

Thanks a lot for posting this video tutorial, it was extremely useful for me. I was literally able to start the reamping right after I watched it!

[@videos4mydad]

Thank you so much for this great video. I have watched it many times over the years and it always works for me....Danke!

[@NONOTAKSTUDIO]

Hey i ve got the same issue. The processed track level is fine but the dry track is too low even if i know it should be lower than the processed one. When i say its low, its thats i cant even see the waveforms on the track in order to edit them ( yes i would like to use the dry signal to help me editing as well)

[@Annasipilanlapsi]

Hi! I have just the same problem as Matthew M with Logic Pro. I found this statement from Axe Fx Wiki: "The dry signal level is fixed, and for good reason. When you send that signal back in, it is the same as the original signal sent to the grid. This means you don't have to adjust anything when reamping. You simply send the signal back.” However, you seem to get much higher input. I would be very grateful for any tips! Thank you for these great tutorials! :)

[@keofly]

Im also a long time Cubase user that would love to figure out the advantages of using the fx sends over usb especially while im already using another interface. However I was curious, when you recorded your second track and it was out of sync, wasn't that because of the latency of the usb? so depending on how fast anyones system is there may be more or less latency and they will have to compinsate by manually moving the track right? Great Tutorial!

[@TheG5Man]

I've been reamping for sometime in Logic but didn't know it was called that! LOL. Great tutorial. Thanks!

[@rockme63]

That is nice to hear. Also I like to add that your video editing and sound is good, nice and clean to watch. You also know how to use your guitars :-) I'm still wating for my Axe-fx II to be delivered but I still have my standard so I can test some of you tutorials, so once again thanks.

[@CJWallaceStudios]

I am planning on buying an Axe FX II soon. In theory, would this work? Guitar to AXEFX guitar in. AXEFX out1 to 6i6 in3 which goes to main outs JUST to monitor processed tone for tracking. AXEFX usb to computer to DAW for only recording DI. Re-Amping: Set DAW DI track to send to spdif-out on 6i6... 6i6 spidif-out to AXEFX spdif-in... Apply tone. AXEFX spdif-out to 6i6 spdif-in. Set DAW to record 6i6 spdif-in which should be the processed AXEFX tone.

[@hammondsphoto]

Hi. Great video. Where do you set the input volume when using a DAW. Sometimes it's rather low and I can't see how to raise the dry signal at all.

[@bloodmeat10]

Hey, I noticed your ASIO buffer size is set to 512 samples. When I set the ASIO buffer size to 512 samples (on my PC running Windows7), it says "At 48000 Hz sampling rate, the selected ASIO buffer size is too small for current USB streaming mode. To avoid audio distortions, you should select a larger ASIO buffer size". Did you get the same warning?

[@xcisson2068]

@berndkiltz Thanks for your reply. I am trying reamping now and I'm using Logic 9. I am able to set the level now so I can record comfy to a song with distortion but my clean direct (channel 3) is really low. That's what I want to turn up. I believe my guitar in level is set correctly. Not hitting red but a lot of orange? :)

[@chasebaker2293]

@berndkiltz thanks for the feedback I just got put on the waiting list last night so it will unfortunately be a while before I recieve my axe fx

[@sonder_wonder]

Are there any good videos demonstrating how to do this with the Axe FX Standard or Ultra, which don't have the USB connection?

[@GabRock91]

Aside from the great tutorial! You are a great guitar player!

[@Lucretious2006]

Hi thanks for the tutorial, I have my AXE FX connected via AES digital and USB. Are you doing all this just using the usb connection? My system doesnt seem to recognise the usb connection, how do you set up the axe with usb so that you can choose that for reamp?

[@skbay2]

Thanks for the tutorial! It was extremely helpful. Could you do a simple tutorial on how to save your own preset?

[@muzaklover78]

Bernd - thanks for the informative video. I've been trying this simple method for a few days now without much success. I am able to record the track but as soon as I switch main input source from USB -> analog1 and listen to what I've recorded, all I hear is the "dry" signal again. I've confirmed that my recording track is configured for inputs 1+2 (also tried 1 and 2 individually). What am I doing wrong? I've tried this in GarageBand as well as Ableton Live with the same results. Please help!

[@SelaluBersamaProduction]

Hello, i have one question Can we reamping from distortion sound to clean?

[@berndkiltz]

Yes

[@videos4mydad]

The reamp worked right away! Is it possible to add a backing track as well? I added a backing track along the 2 audio tracks, but I am sure I need to output the backing track to the mac speaker - but I dont see how. can you please help?

[@Shannonguitarboy]

Hi, I need some help please. I have a Mac, Ax FX 2 XL plus, Apogee Duet 2, Ath M50x. How do I make connections for recording and reamping?

[@xcisson2068]

Hello I have a question. I've had my axe 2 for a while now but I still can't figure out how to adjust the monitoring level mix when recording (sequencer vs guitar) in the axe without compromising the input recording signal. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

[@chasebaker2293]

Hey i am using logic and i was wondering how did you get the input 3 to produce the unprocessed guitar track thank you so much!

[@MikaTarkela]

I have a stereo setup with external audio interface. How should I select the settings?

[@maurizioviera]

Thanks! I guess it's the same process with the Fractal AX8, right?

[@berndkiltz]

Yes, same thing :)

[@Mazzty]

CoreAudio? I dont see all the inputs using ASIO

[@rockme63]

Once again great stuff and thank you for doing this in English to.

[@matthewm.572]

Hey im having some issues with the DI track. The set up works great and i can reamp my DI tracks but the wavelengths of the DI are so tiny.. its as if the input gain is way too low. Ive tried turning up the input gain 100 but theyre still extremely small. My pickups are not very hot so that could be it but is there a way around it?

[@CLELDKFKEJ]

No, what is your daw, mic, interface etc that you're using?

[@matthewm.572]

axe fx straight into reaper through usb

[@CLELDKFKEJ]

Matthew M. I've recently discovered reaper and hardly know how to use it since I use studio one. But. Right click and see if you can find something that says, "Increase audio" or "Normalize Audio". That usually makes it louder without having to crank everything on the outside. The only way to avoid it is to make sure your signal is up through the DAW is to turn everything up, (not all the way) until you're clipping, then back off to where it's not clipping but not half way. Just under clipping level usually works out and then when you mix you just change things accordingly on the volume adjust mix. In the DAW, do not crank your input gain or channel gain etc. Keep it at 0db.

[@matthewm.572]

thank you brotha!

[@CLELDKFKEJ]

No problem!

[@kimrkdals]

How to use studio one??

[@JDNDVS]

Great Video, Thanks for this... I used Reaper, and it worked fine. Cheers

[@AXPena]

I'm using Garageband and I can't figure out how to make reamping work...

[@nicbou12345]

I don’t get the input 3 and 4 in my daw? Why?

[@mDaniel87]

Ah cool, I never knew it is so easy to reamp with the AFX2 - didn't knew the "Input = USB" trick :) You can avoid that "not in time/sync" stuff with the "Treiberfehlerkompensation" ;)

[@marcusscoggins1516]

Great tutorial

[@mbwilding]

You sir are the best!

[@bloodmeat10]

@bloodmeat10 Oh... I just had to set the USB streaming mode to Standard. That was a stupid question hahaha.

[@MrDonkeylama]

Thanks, man! this helped alot! great video :)

[@RyanMattheu]

Very helpful! Thx!

[@MrEndovision]

9:05 WHOOP, THERE IT IS!

[@djentrified]

Thanks!

[@Velghe87]

1:26 Hehehe I think it's funny how he 'forgot' about ProTools. :-) Ableton FTW! ;-)

[@sacredgeometry]

This is such an inefficient way to do this using live and the axefx but whatever.

[@berndkiltz]

then dont just complain and make a better tutorial!

[@sacredgeometry]

I am planning to buy an axe fx 2 soon, and I will do.

[@sobasage1958]

+sacredgeometry Actions talk, bullshit walks.

[@sacredgeometry]

Knaggarn Caboodle Buy me an axe fx and I will do it tomorrow, otherwise kindly shut up.

[@briancuprys1874]

+sacredgeometry this is actually extremely fucking easy. It takes like two seconds. What would be a more efficient way?

[@mDaniel87]

@berndkiltz weird :D
