BIAS FX Tuner issues

@elric yes my thoughts were maybe gonfoe the interface with the best converters? Is that the idea here?
I played tonight at a friends house using my laptop and used my thr 10 as both interface and monitor.
I must say it sounded great.
I loaded a drum track in reaper with ezdrummer 2 midi track then played my amps on two other different tracks. One track for fender clean thermionik model into WOS hop pole studio Zilla Cab and the other track was a thermionik jcm 800 with a tse808 in front going into WOS bogner 2x12.
Sounded immense. My buddy was dumbfounded at the tones I was getting. He saw me fiddling and said "wait that's not coming from the little amp it's coming from the computer?!" Lmao

@elric said in BIAS FX Tuner issues:
Theoretically, for guitar, there should be no real difference, although the thunderbolt interfaces tend to be higher end, IMHO. So maybe generally better. Some expect lower latency with the TB or USB3 but for audio data the bus should not be the issue at USB2 speeds. That said, with extra $$$ being put in R&D they might get better drivers etc.
Its not so much the type of interface, its the maturity of the drivers. RME and MOTU are going to dominate here, no matter how much anything else costs or if its thunderbolt or whatever.

Its pretty crazy how good converters have gotten even on the cheap stuff. If manufacturers don't ask me to send things back after review, I often hold contests of ABX listening tests, giving the whatever away to whoever is able to get an ABX test "right" more than chance would predict.
On every converter ABX I've done, nobody was able to get it past chance, so I just give them away to whoever registered first.
One was between a Behringer ADA8000 and an Apogee Rosetta
Nobody is ever going to hear a song and say "damn, that would have been a hit, if only you used a Mytek"
All that said, there are important differences between these things, just not usually the way they sound, but more how you interact with them in the world. If the best converters are on RCA's you're going to spend all your time cussing and looking for adapters instead of making music.

@Salvatore-Di-Piazza : B is the first harmonic of E, yo.
@pipelineaudio : when manufacturers use dedicated hardware, it means the code is optimized for the instruction set of the processor(s) (that's why porting games back in the day was a job - more so because ports were to lesser hardware systems - the reason dedicated hardware was used in the originals, as nothing off the shelf could do what they wanted), and the throughput of the device design.
Studio versus stage. I heard all music off-axis - in my car, standing above my cab, whatever. Then I began music study, encountered strictly acoustic instruments and music, and then started listening in front of speakers. Oh.
Enlargening the space, let alone including loud volume, ruins everything an amplified, projected sound has in it. A clipped signal adds insult to injury.
A few years ago I read guy who said his bose towers (those thin stick looking things) and the accompanying sub were ki-ller with his Axe-Fx....

@Tannhauser actually B is the 3rd overtone in the harmonic series..the 2nd overtone is the foundamental note one octave higher and the first note is the foundamental, E in this case
