Peter - IK Multimedia Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 We are proud to welcome legendary guitarist and long-time IK user Joe Satriani to its family of artists. IK is excited to partner with Satriani, first on a series of videos sharing Joe’s extensive expertise in recording guitar, and later on more formal collaborations to help guitarists get the most out of their playing & recording experience. "I’m happy to be working with IK Multimedia. I’ve used AmpliTube software at home, in the studio and on several albums. And now, the AXE I/O ups my game in the studio." - Joe Satriani In the video below, Satriani explains some of his philosophy when recording, the importance of finding just the right tone for a particular recording, and some of the ways tools like AmpliTube and AXE I/O can help make the process of laying down guitar tracks much more productive and satisfying: https://youtu.be/GR_F490t8CE Satriani shares his thoughts on digital recording and how AXE I/O can play an important role: "When I saw this, I thought ‘oh wow this is great. I know exactly how I’m going to use this." "What guitar players really want is to see a clear place to plug in. They want control over the gain of the input and the nature of the input in itself. This [AXE I/O] is actually affording the guitar player all those things and you’ve got those extra controls that you can play with the impedance in a way that would mimic the difference between a vintage strat and a brand new guitar." Inspired by the new relationship and Satriani’s personal recording process, IK Multimedia also announces a firmware update to AXE I/O, improving its onboard Amp Out feature that eliminates the need for a DI box during the re-amplification process. For a more convenient experience for guitarists, AXE I/O’s software control panel now features a “To Amp Out” button that routes the Instrument Input 1 directly to the Amp Out with zero latency so guitarists can easily record both a clean DI signal and their amplifier simultaneously, without the need for splitters or other external gear.

hockeyjx Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) Does the AXE I/O integrate with CbB? And if so, more specifically, was it tested with CbB? Edited April 24, 2019 by hockeyjx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyjx Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I am a Amplitube user, and this looks pretty slick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if so, more specifically, was it tested with CbB? AXE I/O is a standard audio interface which has its own drivers so it would work with CbB like any other proper audio interface. Thanks! Glad you like AXE I/O. I'll see if anybody has put it through its paces with CbB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mesh Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Being a huge fan of Satch, would love to see IK do some amp sims with his signature tones. Will have to look more into this AXE I/O....not that I need one, but this looks good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyjx Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I am definitely looking for a new interface, but need to know it plays well with CbB ...and that drivers will be updated like the big players in the space. I like that it appears to be a guitar-player-centric unit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grem Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Not looking for new interface, but it is interesting. You get some real nice T-Racks modules with it too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mesh Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I'm shopping around for a new interface and seriously thinking of getting the Axe. Anyone have this or know someone who uses it? Would like some actual user based thoughts/reviews (if possible). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyjx Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I did buy it and just got it. Hadn't put it through the paces yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would really appreciate your thoughts on this (when you get a moment to test it out)... Sweetwater seems to have one with my name on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesh Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Yes indeed, Sweetwater did have one with my name on it.......should be here next week!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
