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!
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
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.
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!!
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
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!
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.
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
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!
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 :)
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!
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?
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.
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.

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

Great video! Thanks
Great tips!
Another super helpful video, thanks!👌
Yes Matthew!! God Bless you my friend!
Good Tips to save CPU Prozessing time. Thanks for sharing your know how with us.
Wow, great tips! I’ve been using Fractal Audio products for 3+ years and many of these suggestions were new to me.
THANKS A LOT!! ❤
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!

I love the scene controller feature! Thanks for watching!

Scene controller are amazing and one of my favorite features!
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?
Yep, no issues there.
Another CPU saver is turning off the gate, in the Input Block.
Good one!
Hello Mathew. All your blocks library are for FM3 too?
Yep they work on FM3 with the latest firmware.
At home what speakers do you use to set up and practice with?
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.
does the cpu saving descrease the i/o latency to a significant level ?
Not in my experience, it seems relatively consistent (and fast). I've never had any latency issues with my Fractal gear.
Can you do a video on how you keep your preset level the same volume and never clipping.
Those are great ways to reduce cpu! Thank u
WHAT!!! Click on the square to move the entire column O.O
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?
Internal works of FM3
@@iasomiero Thanks for confirming. Much appreciated!
Hey man love your channel! Would you be interested in making hi-gain profiles for NAM? Just name your price!
Definitely sounds interesting! Message me on my site mathewdale.com
Sorry. But as an AxFX owner, I wasn't impressed with that sound at all. But there are applications for everything, I guess.
