Steve, do you have the elite version of BIAS FX2 ? I want to know if someone can do a video on the Harmonizer Modeler. I want to know if it has the capabilities of the EVENTIDE H910 Harmonizer that EVH used on the 1984 album way back then. If you could do a video of it so I can determine if the Elite package is worth buying just for the Harmonizer, that would be awesome. I’m 50 years old, been playing since 8 and chasing the EVH brown sound ever since. Cheers

[@einfussganger]

One cool feature of the looper is that it records clean. You're actually hearing it process through the current effect, which you can change anytime. This is a great way to record a riff and tweak your rig to get the sound you want without playing the guitar at all. I started off recording a loop, putting the guitar down, making a change, playing the change, and so on. Not necessary. Records a loop and tweak your rig with it running in the background. I can even sit on the train on my way to work and build tone maps with no guitar. Very cool.

[@mercedesescobarmusic]

I didn't know that. Great idea.

[@GamRNightwing]

CAn someone please tell me how to even hook this thing up? Like everyone shows u how to use the feature inside but skips the part about how to set it up to begin with. What do I just shove my guitar cable in a potato? (Obviously not)

[@adobejava3752]

[@allanharris970]

I just bought this program in July 2021. Watched this to help learn how to use it so thank you even thought I am a couple years late haha. To me something about your playing was pretty cool when you switched the guitar match choices. Even though the Ibanez was in your hands you instinctively played to the character of the guitars you were choosing. You just instinctively chose licks, touch and feel that are the strong points of those guitars. That's too be expected say if a Strat is in your hands but for an imitation of the Strat sound (with your Ibanez in your hands) to make you naturally gravitate to those styles is really impressive.

[@pigdestr0yer1973]

Yeah, I bought this too, it was my last resort to get really good guitar sound. The best one I have found aside from this one is called "Ampknob", which is just a simple (but very good!) distortion-pedal. Everything else, all these Amp-collections (Amp Sim, VST Amp rack, GTR), they all SUCK. Sorry, but not sorry, there is SO much crap out there in the plug-in-world, so getting good guitar-sounds in Cubase has been the biggest obstacle ever since I started using it (even the Garagband-presets have been better than the above mentioned). But this - Bias FX2, has solved the problem. And you don´t have to be a genius either (unlike with the above mentioned), because it´s pretty simple to use, and many of the presets are ... well, just perfect. My favorites are "Bloody cloud" and "American dream". Absolutely awesome. This is pricey, but worth it. Don´t waste your money on anything else. This is the good sh!t.

[@moog2677]

You explain things really well! And make the Bias FX 2 more user friendly, just got it yesterday, and loving it!

[@Heglin82]

Already had one hour of testing it earlier today, liking it a lot so far. And a Ibanez with EMG 81/60 is my main guitar.

[@stinemusiclessons]

Very cool!

[@seven7asable]

What are you plugged into? Amp? Monitors?

[@ashwiins92]

Any updates on this?

[@darquen4444]

He's plugged into monitors

[@myworldonvideo8721]

He's running direct .... Most likely into an interface

[@jamesreynold6711]

This is wild. Tones are so convincing and the guitar matching system is ridiculous. Blending this with a re-amped tone/room mic would be a VIBE/10

[@QAsteves.]

Questions: How can I just get my guitar to play noise Like Mr. Stines here(I know it wont sound 100% likes his ha)? Sorry novice here with the software, and using audio interfaces with my guitar. I don't want to use the headphones either,or record! I bought 2- Kali Lp-8' power speakers, with a Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen.( As of right now I just get hissing using my Kali's? thrrough my laptop with positive bias fx2 software( I downloaded all the Focustire drivers too) Ok with this audio interface, how can I use it with my Bias grid fx2 software, and connect it to my Blackstar 5htr combo amp, with a Blackstar 1x12 cab also connected to it? I have a Di box coming this Monday too. xlr inputs etc.

[@nomadptgalexandrecarvalho2133]

Great review Steve,thanks.That "Be like Slash" tone is seek.

What would i run my laptop through to hear the sounds? Can it be like an amp like I have a VOX VT20, Can i just connect the computer to the amp aux wise?

[@MOAB-UT]

Hey Steve- great demo. Which version do you recommend for a casual at home player? Is it worth the 2x upgrade to Elite to get the Harmonizer and other features? The Standard version seems to have plenty.

Thanks for a great video! Do you happen to know what circuit the Sweet OD is based on? (if somehow, legally you can't tell me, could you at least point me in the right direction?) It's sooo good, and I'd love to get a hardware version of that pedal!

I may be getting a Spark amp for Christmas. From what I gather, I can and or could use the Bias FX app through the amp if I disabled all the stuff in the Spark software that I use with the amp. Then, plug in my scarlet thing, guitar to that then that to the headphone jack of my amp. I am super tired for some reason. Maybe I heard the wrong thing. haha

I have a question for you. I recently purchased the Bias FX Elite and am having some latency. Is this normal? Alternatively, is there a way to reduce the Latency? Because it's quite infuriating when playing guitar.

[@mpalin11]

I also had some latency, but I can affect it with the interface's settings. My interface is a Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 and I can get a 4ms latency, which is not bad.

[@freddysnightmare8391]

you plug your guitar into this bias fx2 then to your computer ?

Steve, the latency when i run bias fx is standalone mode is terrible but fixes itself when opened as a vst plug in in daw. what causes this?

[@aaronball9640]

I can never get these plug-ins to sound this good. I have Bias FX 2 and everything sounds muffled with no high end punch. Not sure if it's my pick ups, sound card or interface. Very frustrating.

[@overcome8628]

Funny.. I downloaded and cannot get mine to even get close to the sound u get. What speakers are u using.

I have the original version and i could never get the guitar tuner on app to work.

[@zacksilver8257]

Hey, I’m new to the recording scene and I’m curious how much I’d be missing out on if I bought the standard Bias FX 2 instead of the pro version. Should I spend the extra money or is it not worth it?

[@stinemusiclessons]

Well, that’s a choice only you can make, BUT you can upgrade later if you choose to. I don’t have the exact specs on each but I know there is a comparison chart on their website. Let me know if you can’t find it.

Steve, took your advice and got Bias FX 2 I have a question for you thought. I run a PerSonus audiobox usb96 and experience severe latency, I contacted Positive Grid and Presonus and was told I need something with lower latency. What would you consider a low latency but affordable interface or how would an amateur deal with the latency?

[@Richardnova]

Bro Is biasfx is free???

[@stinemusiclessons]

They offer a demo version, and then upgrades from there.

[@NotAuxell]

Im not really enjoying Bias 2, not because it's bad, it's actually pretty good. But I try to mimic my old profiles from the old Bias and it sounds different, sometimes nothing like the original preset I made and that fucking sucks for me because I've made like 50 presets for playing tons of different things. Whatever nice video man, you even gave me new ideas...

[@CyberTechOfficial-h7n]

I can`t save my new presets that I`ve made ( FX Elite 2 ) !! it asks me to rename and save it, but then nothing happened .. any clue Please :)
