AX3000G: Midi Tutorial

How to connect your AX3000G:
First of all you will need a MIDI-USB-Adapter.

1. Install the AX3000G Software PC / Software MAC
2. Connect the Adapter to your PC/MAC (USB->USB)
3. Connect the Adapter to your AX
(Adapter-Out -> AX-In / Adapter-In -> AX-Out !)
4. Open the AX3000G Software
5. Go to "Midi" - Setup
6. Set your Midi in- and outputs to the usb-midi cable.

Note: You can´t record your guitar-sounds with this midi-connection. midi only sends data instructions. to record audio to your pc use the L/mono analog output or the s/p dif digital output.

Tutorial: Imitate guitar sounds

I often read questions in forums like: How can i make a sound like XXX , or where can i download a preset for the band XXX?

I made this little tutorial to get a kind of workflow. This is not the sample solution, but its a way to come closer to the sound you are looking for.

1. Step
If you have really no idea how to start: Use the internet to search what gear your artist is playing with. Most import information is what kind of amp/cabinet he plays. This will be the base of your sound.

2. Step
Now listen to the sound, when the artist plays without any other musicians. Try to loop this, or just listen very carefully. Now set the Amp and Cabinett and play around with the gain, volume, treble, mid and low knob.

3. Step
You should have come much closer to your sound now. Now listen if there is any fx, delay or reverb in your artists sound. You have to try it to get the right setting and this could be very time-consuming.

4. Step
When you think you´re finished listen to another artist and then switch back to your track.
Check the sound again... and again... and again...
Once you think you´re close to the sound, save the preset and share it with other´s ;)
