Fractal Talk

sorry I'll retract my video

Warmoth does a Bass VI neck, but it's tied into their Fender Bass VI replica. I would like to see if my tech guy can build a cooler looking hard tail equipped body around it.

I'm ordering a Strat bari conversion neck from them. Have an offset body here cut for a trio of single coils. I plan to use these Duncan stacked 'buckers I have here in it.

Interesting… No clear indications of size coming from Bing into Safari.

I don’t have to post any of this shit y’all … if it really does bother you that much.

I think it’s funny as shit and fascinating at the same time. I bet you don’t like reverb and delay on your tones either? LoL

I guess that’s what makes horse racing.

it wasn’t meant personal at all. I hadn’t even noticed who’s posting them. They just seem all alike and are so large.

To be fair, redundancy definitely crept in a while back.

Sounds awesome, post up when you’ve got it done!

That’s like 4 years worth at NDSP.

I may have packed up my QC this morning.

It's funny, but after all these years, FAS modelling the plethora of amps is slowly changing my taste in personal guitar tones during my frequent amp safaris.

I always used to play pushed cleans and up to EOB... but over the last few months the gain has been slowly edging up towards crunchy.

It’s funny because I love a lot of non-high-gain players when they dabble with gain. John Cordy being a great example. It’s not his thing obviously, but when he does crank the gain I always think it’s awesome hearing his chord choices and phrases in that context. To the point I wish he would do more of it. There is definitely something to pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, and honestly I wish I would force myself to do it more.

That's where Ive been. I turn on the QC and ask myself why when I have the fractal next to me.

Obviously the QC has its pros but the Axe Fx is just a powerhouse

I have more respect for the QC watching the TMP launch unfold and having both a Frac and QC side by side, but as much as it gets right, nothing it does tonally makes me fire it up over the Axe, and Im just losing steam with the idea of having a bunch of separate rigs that don’t ultimately get me anywhere other than using multiple setups for the sake of having multiple setups. Granted about once year I always go through this less is more phase. But the Axe is proving to be a moar is moar device. I simply can’t find fault with it beyond the front panel.

I'm telling you, one digital product and then the rest analog is the way to go. Although I almost always fire up my FAS gear. I actually play music now!

With a little time and familiarization the front panel ceases to be a topic of discussion. I tweak stuff at rehearsals all the time, and always from the front panel. My FM3 is usually in the living room, and never connected to a computer. I build full presets from the front panel.

FWIW, we’ve been trying to figure out how to auto-resize the pics.

It’s not the actual pics that’s the issue, just the size of them. I agree that it can be jarring going from text post to text post and depending on what you’re viewing on, the pics can take you out of the thread element to a degree. There’s been some hysterical ones along the way, we don’t want to put an end to that, just make it less jarring when scrolling.

When I’m on my iMac I don’t even recognize it, but my iPad I’m scrolling entire pages to make it through a picture.

I can’t remember where we left off, but if you post an AI imagine and come back to see it’s been re-sized, that’s why.

This is why my long-time Forum habit is to cut my typed lines short,
and NOT let them run the entire length allowed.

Horizontal scrolling is the Debul's work.

[KHAAAAAAANNNNNNN!!!!!!!!]

This right here. A lot of the artefacts or dissonance you may hear will probably be down to the fact that you are not playing loud enough and your brain is having a hard time making sense of what's going on. (speaking from experience!)

I don't need a virtual capo for that.

 

[Elric]

Those AI-generated images are starting to get annoying, or is it just me?

Awaiting a meme “It’s you”…

TBH. I have started putting people who post nothing but AI memes to every thread on ignore until they get over it.

Yeah, you can tweak stuff on the fly via the Performance pages and also just hitting Edit a bunch of times until you cycle to the block you want to change. But the latter is dumb and clunky, and don't even get me started on using the hardware to move a block anywhere else in the preset.

Using the Fractal hardware to tweak does get better with time, but "ceases to be a topic of discussion"? Gonna have to disagree.

Every user can resize the thumbnail, so if you want to post pics, scale them to a reasonable size. I try to do this too because those huge AI pics are annoying when they take the whole screen.

Maybe the system let's you set a default scaled size for pics? You can always click them to see the full size.

I grew up in the pre-internet days of card catalogs and the Dewey Decimal System. Editing on the hardware is not that difficult.

Sigh...I did too, man, That being said, "easy" to just get in a block and change parameters, yes. Anything more than that, I'll just wait until I get back home to do it in Axe-Edit. I already detailed here how many extra menus and button presses even common stuff suffers from.
