- Every Fractal User Can Use This Trick!
Using the Blocks Library is a HUGE help when making presets on your Fractal FM3, FM9 or AXE FX 3. The stock presets are so good and there are plenty of great dialed in FX for you to "steal"
I highly recommend @LeonTodd 's Blocks Library as stated in the video. Here is the link - forum.fractalaudio.com/thread...

HIHO ... Great work!!! To answer the question. It would be great if you could make a video about running multiple Instruments into the FM9
I would love to run Guitar/Bass/Vocals through it. But have no clue if the CPU could work ... :)
"Block shopping" is a term I'm going to use going forward. Love it.
That would be awesome! And thank you again for offering your massive blocks library to us
Thanks a mill Steve, super helpful! Best of luck with the tour!!
Thanks so much! Glad to help
This is an awesome approach! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for checking it out!
Helpful suggestion!
This is game changing. I had no idea how much extra work I was making for myself.
Awesome! Glad to help. Their guys already did the work. Why not use it!
@@SteveSterlacciexactly! I'm not selling presets, so it's totally legit to do this for my personal use. Great tip!
@@jericks06 thanks for checking it out! Steal away 😉
The shown way is really valuable. Thanks for showing it. And yes, i agree, the factory presets all sound amazing. There is perhabs only a little tuning necessary to match the personal taste of the player.
Always dig the videos!! I just started with the FM9 turbo. As always your content is amazing and invaluable Steve!! Cheers!!
Thank you bro! Enjoy it
Thanks !!!
Thanks for checking it out!
Most definitely would love to see the end result of your live preset 🎸🎸🎸. Thanks 🙏🙏
I think what I got out of this video is, I’m selling my QC, and my FM3 and getting an Axe3 turbo
I want one too. Axe3 does the tone match thing i really want
FAS is the best imo Everything always sounds so good without much fuss. Excellent video with great tips too!
Thanks for checking it out 🤘🤘🤘
That dual detune tone sounds great. Reminds of tones Trevor Rabin used when he was in Yes.
Would like to see your live setup with Jessica's acoustic an your guitar. Great video on block saving, I've been doing that for awhile, it's a GREAT way to perfect the tones you want. The tele sounds amazing! Post vlogs on tour if u have time! Congrats
I agree that if you find a preset especially a block that's amazing why not copy it and implement it into your own presets. You can study it and learn from that preset but in the meantime I'd rather just put it in my new preset. Later on I'll sit there and get deep in the unit but right now I just want to have fun. I just received fm9 Christmas time after selling my line 6 Helix and my fractal ax8. No regret Steve this unit just blows me away on the factory presets alone. The amazing layouts that you can do although I do miss the four four top and four bottom row configuration you can have a lot of different layouts.
Steve you're right.. Presets already sound amazing.. I get my FM9 n a few days and I'm going to put my pedals away for a bit and really dive into this thing... My concern is getting the drives right and volumes of the drives live...
I use ToneX to capture my amp blocks and use them on Logic Pro X.
Made a lot of A/B and couldn’t figure out wich one was the AxefxIII ones! For some amps I could make the difference is very low frequencies using a spectrometer but using Nam to capture is 100% null test correct.
Cliff should definitely bring NN deep learning to AxefxIII turbo. Hope I will not have to buy an AxefxIV for that… apparently they should have a lot more memory and bring a cuda NVidia card to keep on :(
That would be sick!!!
Hey Steve, what case or gig bag are you using for the FM9?
my old Pod x3 Live bag LOL
Your reverb was saved with bypass state set to thru, you need to change that to effects in.
Good catch. It should be mute fx in
I’ve never used a Fractal product. Compared to the Quad which I’ve been using for the last 2 years, this thing seems way more complicated. I’ve 😅wanted to try the FM9 since it came out but I’m not sure I’m down for the steep learning curve.
Its definitely a lot. I regret having all 3 major players 🤣🤣🤣
The first thing I did was delete all presets. In the end you really need to create your own if you want to design your own tone. but I understand allot of people love the presets that are already programmed. You have to love the Fm9.
You're a brave man
@@SteveSterlacci just got my FM9 the other day and deleted them right away. I know not everyone would do this; I did the same thing with my Axe FX 2 back around 10 years ago. We all have our own goals and ideas. I hope you love your FM9 on this upcoming tour you're doing. I don't think it will let you down man!! Fractal makes some awesome gear and there are tones just waiting to be found in it. Alive & Loving it!
@markmusicman ah nice. At least you have some fractal experience going in! Everyone should take the time to learn it for sure. I need to be able to do everything with my eyes closed before I consider taking it on the road. Thanks!
@@SteveSterlacci I hear you these devices are like having a whole universe in front of you. Have a great day today man!!
Used to be my band name 20yrs ago
Which one?
"The Factory presets are amazing and useable straight away...." Said nobody ever. In fact, this is the first time I've heard anyone say anything postiive about any factory presets. So either something very fishy is happening here; or, every other youtuber lies about how bad the factory presets are.
Just a secondary note about touring with your wife and being her "sound/switching" guy. Remember that you cannot escape her if you botch the switches or the gear you pick fails her. You will not be able to hide on the tour bus. You will be in the same hotel room as her. Jess is very physically fit and eats healthy. She lives a very clean lifestye. She looks like she trains in some type of Mixed Martial Arts. Bottom line, you will not be able to escape. She will chase you. She will find you. She will destroy you. There may not be enough of you left to put in a casket. So be sure that the gear that you take out on tour with her will provide the tone she wants and the reliablity that her career depends upon. Afterall, Your very life depends upon it. By the way, tell her I said, "hi"
Ben
Thanks Ben. Have you seen my stage fail where I accidentally changed her preset in front of 10,000 people during her solo?
@@SteveSterlacci How come you did not provide the link to the video? If I were you, I'd stick with the Helix. IT works. Jess seems to like the Helix more than the other modelers/processors. You know how the old saying goes, "Happy Jess......Steve lives another day!"
I have heard from the fractal groups that the presets out of the fm9 are outstanding. Funny how you're hearing this for the first time from Steve. I suggest that you get involved in these Facebook groups.
@@GP-mk5tj Facebook is a cesspool of liberal filth. As a conservative man, Facebook is not a place I can tolerate. And just because some fanboy posted on a liberal filth website does not mean that the presets are good. If anything, that merely proves my point. Do you look to Facebook for the bottom line on "good tone?" Heaven help you if you do.......They are not good on any modeler/profiler. They are exagerated presets to show the effects. They are not intended to be used as is. This is straight from Fractal, Line6, Kemper, and the liars at Neural. Remember when Neural said we could use the plugins we've already purchased in a stage ready format?
Fractal presets are great and that IS the consensus.
That takes extremely too much time. No thanks. I will never buy one of these.
I do the same with the HX stuff, or any modeler that has good FX. Its a fun task and beats learning all the deep parameters
Once you learn how to do it, it's not that bad. I own one and yes, it could be easier but it is what it is. I don't like I have to work to create a loop in the chain. A looper should be one button that is always available- same with 2nd guitar input, etc. You have to set it up to do things that other units automatically do...but once it's set up, you can forget it and it just works. It also sounds superior to all other solutions out there at the relative price. It's actually a great value when you consider all the gear my FM9 Turbo can replace. One good Reverb pedal alone can run you $500.
