I have to look further into it but I doubt the SPDIF connection is any better on the Clarett line, other things may be better but I’m not sure it would necessarily matter to me in this situation

There's USB volumes in the vp4 set up, maybe mess with them?

I did and it didn’t change anything at all, I was hoping it would. I don’t care about input monitoring in Logic, I’m monitoring straight out of the VP4. I’ll take another crack at it soon

I've got a Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 mostly because it was the entry point for S/PDIF.

If you get the 16i16, post up about how it is. I'm curious how the guitar inputs are at this point. Good specs though, otherwise.

I have the outputs from my Axe going into the analog inputs on my interface, and use the interface input monitoring so it's basically the same as having the Axe plugged directly to my monitors as in no additional latency. Logic gets it signal for recording via the USB.

So you're actually saying 4 -1 = 3
I sort clarification because I recalled some discussion earlier on in the VP4 release about whether or not if an IR block was added, and as its not like an effect you need to turn on-off, that it might or should-best-be added as an internal block that would be accessible through the Global settings.
Probably not really an issue if you are using the VP4 in a traditional "real" guitar cab setup. but if you are using it in an FRFR / Direct kind of setup, that leaves you only 3 Blocks for "effects" .
B.t.w ^^^ its there for a reason :)

It would be cool if they turned it into like the input gate and have the option to implement it right there, OR the option to use an IR block if for some reason you didn’t want it first in the chain. I’m happy though I don’t need a lot of effects going on at the same time, 3 post cab fx are plenty for me.So you're actually saying 4 -1 = 3

Damn!! This IR Player Block is pretty amazing for VP4 owners!
NDSP- Promises to add a feature in their new QC, that tons of early-adopters want, then never delivers (or did they finally...?)
FAS- Adds a fantastic feature to an already-great unit that wasn't even hinted at, that totally levels-up the VP4.

I had fun last night dialing in my own mix in CabLab with the York Recto pack - much better experience than going through the regular York recto IR pack I've been using for like a year. Definitely adds a ton of value to the VP4 and I do like that I'm limited in blocks tbh - KISS.

They'd need to use a special process to load them, otherwise people would start distributing proprietary IRs... Because "people"

To be fair, I would imagine that it is pretty simple for FAS to deliver an IR block for a device like this. Not sure why it seems sensible to compare delivery of this to some other manufacturer’s vague ‘feature’ which may or may not have any kind of comparable scope; and is targeted to a completely different class of device. Fractal’s a great company but making it somehow a point of comparison vs something else so clearly orthogonal is a stretch to the point where it seems pretty irrelevant. IMHO.

What do you mean? They said since launch that "it was under consideration" : https://forum.fractalaudio.com/thre...mpact-multi-fx-processor.208713/#post-2607516

The added bonus of using a DynaCab pack is a huge cherry on top for me too, I didn’t expect that when I heard they were doing an IR block (mostly because I knew little about them in the first place). Their DynaCab shop is very limited, I mean I’m fine at the end of the day with just a recto cab 8 days of the week, but it would be nice for others I’m sure to have a lot of DynaCab pack options.To be fair it was the number one wish on the forum for the vp4

Recto is the only amp/cab in existence as far as I'm concerned. Everything else is wrong. People keep mentioning that the AxeFX has all these other amps and cabs... Like hundreds of them... Still not quite sure what they're talking about.

The used/refurb market is your friend. I saved a total of 350 on the Clarett+ units

What are those weird things on the sides? Are they cat towers?
