Hey all
Please see here:-
This is [the excellent]. Mark Day doing a very quick demo of the. " de-phasing " feature in the [excellent] Axe 19.01.
The Axe. " de-phasing ". feature is Fractal's version of making the Axe. More "amp in a room" ....... as is Kemper "Pure Cab ".
What struck me upon hearing Marks demo:-
- in Axe FW 19.01. it s is a very noticeable affect. Whereas Pure Cab is much more subtle
Not saying this is a bad or good thing but given both "features" are trying to do the same thing, I am quite taken aback at how different they sound.
Based on my personal use of Pure Cab in. 3.1.1 I find that setting it to " 5 ". brings the mids and lows more in to focus whilst taming the more harsh / ice picky higher end.
What struck me with Marks demo is that when he goes from 0 to. 6.25, it seems to do the exact opposite - it loses a lot of the body of the tone and makes the top end more brittle. At 0. Its sounds freaking awesome but quite ordinary ar. 6.25.
This is not a criticism - more just to say how different the 2 approaches seem to be.
I'm certain many will think that Pure Cab. or De-Phase sounds better ....... but based in that video and my experience with Pure Cab, they really don't sound much at all like each other.
Is it just my ears. ?
Maybe its just the youtube audio effect - although I did listen at 720p with good headphones.
What do others think ?
