Scott Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Hello: Anyone use this combination? Got mine in today. Bought it used. I can't seem to get the audio to work. I've downloaded the USB driver and Edit . I've assigned the Audio to this device in Cakewalk. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeringAmps Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 @Scott You’re trying to use the Ax as your audio interface? I had the same unit, but I did not use it as the audio interface. I sent the digital out into my RME UFX. t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 I have a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 as my audio interface. Cakewalk appears to think the Axe II is my audio interface. The Focusrite was grayed out. The Axe II is connected to my pc by USB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeringAmps Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I had the FXII connected via USB as well, but ONLY so I could use app. The Audio outs on your FXII need to go to the inputs on the Scarlett. You can't have 2 ASIO devices in Windows. Do a little digging, somewhere in Windows you need to disable the FX as an audio device. IIRC, there is info on the AXE forum that will help. t 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 Thanks: I just did what you suggested before I read your response. I took the two outs (l and r) and went into my Scarlett 2i2 and I'm getting sounds now. To be honest, I'm a bit disappointed in the sound I'm getting from my studio speakers. I'm sure I'm still not doing something right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted March 9 Author Share Posted March 9 I do appreciate your time on this. I hear the same shrill type of tones. No body, etc. I'm sure this can be "user error". I'm a little puzzled the presets sound this bad. Could the previous owner have done something? There are blocks where there is nothing there. I would've guess there would be many, many presets made by the company. But, the way it sounds now, I wouldn't buy this unit had I known. But, I could be doing something wrong. Is there a way to download the factory presets where I can start from square one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Promidi Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 3 hours ago, DeeringAmps said: You can't have 2 ASIO devices in Windows. Slight correction. Windows itself allows multiple ASIO devices installed. Any one Windows program itself cannot have two ASIO devices selected therein. (Which is why the OP's Focusrite ASIO was greyed out in CbB) If you have multiple ASIO devices, Cakewalk can use use one ASIO device. Another program (ORB Studio for eg) can use only one of the other ASIO devices. The two programs can run at the same time using their respective ASIO devices. The only stipulation is same sample rate, bit depth and (I think) buffer size for all ASIO devices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Wynn Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 (edited) @Scott Longtime AxeFx guy here. What you are describing sounds like power amp modeling OR cab modeling is off. I highly suggest you hit the Fractal forum and get it sorted. Edited March 9 by Greg Wynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Greg said above, hit the forum... Frankly I sold mine because the editing was so "deep" I could get lost in the thing and thus get no real work done. t Edited March 9 by DeeringAmps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that, heart and soul. It just didn’t fit my workflow. @Scott dig into the forum, you’ll get your head wrapped around it… t I went from FXII to the Strymon Iridium, now I’m riding the ToneX… ” I cain’t never be satisfied” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
