We've probably all been there; trying to squeeze in that extra block or two within a preset only to be met with a cpu warning and a muted signal. Well, here are 4 of my best tips to save on that precious cpu. Surprisingly, we actually won't be looking at the reverb quality or the IR length here. Rather, we're going to utilize Fractal's, controller system and other baked-in goodies to really create the most efficient preset possible without compromising tone on the Axe-FX III, FM9, or FM3.

But wait, there's another great tip! Clicking on the little square at the bottom of the grid to move the parallel blocks in multiple. Never knew that. Cool!

@AndreVieiraguitarist 3 месяца назад

Mathew amazing man! Thanks so much for not only teaching us how to use these units but for your generosity in sharing not one preset but your whole library! AS a new FM9 owner you have saved me many hours!!! Rock on and be blessed!!

@jimamsden Месяц назад

Excellent video. It's not just about saving CPU but also cool ideas on how to use blocks.

@mathew_dale 29 дней назад

Glad you liked it!

@fishmank27 6 месяцев назад

Wow this is something else. This thing is so tweakable. With the FM3 it certainly takes up cpu fast

@InactiveNode 5 месяцев назад

I've been using an AxeFX for over a decade and I missed the whole "scene controllers" bit. I've added amp instances typically JUST to get the boost, etc. This is game changing. Thanks! Granted, I'm on an AxeFX 3, so I wasn't hurting for CPU, but I like to keep it low.

@mathew_dale 5 месяцев назад

I love the scene controller feature! Thanks for watching!

@martyshwaartz971 Год назад

I’d love to be half as competent with any piece of gear as you are with the fractal stuff. Great ideas for CPU saving!

@Jamie383 Год назад

I like the mono delay for the stereo detune a lot! I often use the virtual capo for 1/2 step down ( or up depending on which guitar I’m using) so being able to still have a dual detune without the pitch block rocks! Thank you

@208414 Год назад

Wow, great tips! I’ve been using Fractal Audio products for 3+ years and many of these suggestions were new to me.

@russgoos4628 11 месяцев назад

Nice! Your method of how to use Scene Controllers was very interesting. Instead of setting percentage values via the Scene Controller knobs, you used the parameters in the main Controller screen, then set 0% or 100% via the Scene Controller knobs. Very cool. Love the ramp up/down for the values, too. Great tip, and not just for the CPU savings!

@rolandmengedoth2191 Год назад

Good Tips to save CPU Prozessing time. Thanks for sharing your know how with us.

@paulbradshawguitar Год назад

cool stuff, didn't know the fm9 had separate reverb cpu, that block's a killer especially on the FM3 which I'm using in case it's useful you can control click and turn the modifier wheels for more precise values, i agree i wish you could enter values on that screen turning off the preamp in the cab block can make quite a difference if you're really strapped for cpu otherwise

@curlzwalk Год назад

Yes Matthew!! God Bless you my friend!

@BobbyLaneProductions Год назад

color me impressed! great tutorial and demo.. the big eye opener for me were the Scene Controllers.. I don't think I've ever used them and I ask myself why not? Thanks!

@mathew_dale Год назад

Scene controller are amazing and one of my favorite features!

@jetset9561 9 месяцев назад

Hey Mathew really nice job - it would be amazing to see what kind of musical gymnastics you could come up with now you have all that extra DSP - only to cut it back again when you run out of room :)

@ZackSeifMusic 2 месяца назад

Don't forget to gain stage your presets! It looks like your lead boost clipped your output, so I would see if lowering the amp volume, or removing the pitch block's +3 helps you prevent that! Digital clipping is a nasty thing :D

@mathew_dale 2 месяца назад

Yes! Gain staging is super important. However, just pushing a few db over the red line isn’t actually pushing the fractal into clipping. It still has headroom on the other side of the red line. But otherwise, there certainly isn’t anything wrong with lowering the overall amp level as you suggested.

@thomasschinko9200 11 месяцев назад

You can save even more CPU when you switch the Quality in the Reverb Block from Ultra-High to Normal or even Economy (sounds also mostly good enough) and/or Echo Density from 8 to 6 or 5!

@gcs1979 Год назад

Another super helpful video, thanks!👌

@VisionaryInstruments 3 месяца назад

Great tips!

@paulturley4069 5 месяцев назад

Great video! Thanks

@leonsilva 6 месяцев назад

THANKS A LOT!! ❤

@curlzwalk Год назад

Another CPU saver is turning off the gate, in the Input Block.

@mathew_dale Год назад

Good one!

@_mysilentblue2227 Год назад

WHAT!!! Click on the square to move the entire column O.O

@AntF1982 5 месяцев назад

Hi there, can you tell me are you able to connect a P.C or tablet to the FM9 to access those setting options while its running through an frfr speaker?

@mathew_dale 5 месяцев назад

Yep, no issues there.

@rockygallo1999 11 месяцев назад

Can you do a video on how you keep your preset level the same volume and never clipping.

@rockygallo1999 11 месяцев назад

Those are great ways to reduce cpu! Thank u

@sylvainbiensur7370 6 месяцев назад

does the cpu saving descrease the i/o latency to a significant level ?

@mathew_dale 6 месяцев назад

Not in my experience, it seems relatively consistent (and fast). I've never had any latency issues with my Fractal gear.

@atlaspath5803 10 месяцев назад

At home what speakers do you use to set up and practice with?

@mathew_dale 10 месяцев назад

I use two different sets. Presonus Eris e5's for quieter, studio use, and QSC k10's for louder use and more bass. Bouncing back and forth when dialing in tones give me a good reference for live use.

@jcaryali Год назад

Hello Mathew. All your blocks library are for FM3 too?

@mathew_dale Год назад

Yep they work on FM3 with the latest firmware.

@jchristian515088 11 месяцев назад

Hey man love your channel! Would you be interested in making hi-gain profiles for NAM? Just name your price!

@mathew_dale 11 месяцев назад

Definitely sounds interesting! Message me on my site mathewdale.com

@RayBachGuitar 9 месяцев назад

Is the CPU usage based on the internal works of the FM3 or is it based on how much space you have on your computer's hard drive?

@iasomiero 9 месяцев назад

Internal works of FM3

@RayBachGuitar 9 месяцев назад

@@iasomiero Thanks for confirming. Much appreciated!

@donsimpson12 Год назад

Sorry. But as an AxFX owner, I wasn't impressed with that sound at all. But there are applications for everything, I guess.

@mathew_dale Год назад

Application is really the point of the video, though. More about the methods used for cpu efficiency rather than a specific and subjective tone. You can still utilize these methods with the tone of your choice. Thanks for watching.
