Hey Gary! Thank you for your QC vids, lots of help! Cheers from Brazil!

Excellent use of the whale footage and very clear play through!

Your video is in mono unfortunately

Great riff! adore this type of music

could you do a cover with tabs of the song Child by Whirr ?

Impressive vocals!! Haven’t heard this song before, love it.

Fear Factory new stuff i dont know were they Went to Their old school stuff is much better I think. great job though

I just got mine in the mail today! Can't wait to play with it🤩🤩

How do you like that Breedlove?

Hi Gary, excellent video... I'm on Mac book m2 and Cortex control jams at loading presets and I do not find 'quadcortex' in my finder... I wonder if I shut down the usb in QC somehow ?? Neural support is not easy to reach...

neat addition but only thing is, if you use this live you need to have an external tuner because you'll now hear the DI even if the QC tuner is on lol

Hi, quick question. What cable did you use to connect the Quad to your Mac?

Great cover...what is the tuning? A standard

You may have the best QC tutorials. I hope you get more views. Very well done. My unit comes in two days. Watching as much as I can.

But it's not a polyphonic transposer and I am very disappointed for that. Helix's Poly Capo is just orders of magnitude better as it can also do poly (and you can decide latency vs tracking precision)

This was a life saver, just picked up my quad cortex today and this is exactly what I needed to get up and running, cheers man!

Hello Gary. Thank you for your clear explanation. Is it possible to transfer your User presets (Gojira X and Plini X) from the computer plugin to the Quad Cortex as well?

spot on!

Thanks mate. Great videos

Did they not make Sidechain versions for the pitch effects (minivoicer etc)?

Hello! Thanx for the video. :) I guess what still makes me confused is why I would do this side-chain technique if I can just put the envelope filter (or other device) in the beginning of the chain right after the input? I might be missing something. What’s the difference between doing that vs side-chaining?

Yep, this is one of the many reasons I stayed with Fractal until now. The 3.0 update is a huge step up. Smart move just having a dedicated block for this too.

Is there any difference connection QC to a usb hub vs connect it right in the Mac port?

new to QC as well and this is a great video, thank you! would be nice to be able to do this between presets within the "scenes". guess you have combine what you like from other presets and make it into a hybrid

What if you need to switch to an entirely different preset? For example I have a song with a quick clean part with delay coming out of my regular distortion. Can Scenes handle with out the audio gap?

A very good explanation of a confusing subject. Lots of options with side-chaining for sure.

Great video! Really informative! Thx

Thanks

This is an excellent guide with a nice radio-friendly voice covering lots of ground. I Look forward to more Thanks!!

my plugin still locked. how did you unlocked them? I updated all.

Thanks man. My QC arrived like 2 hours ago, and I watched a bunch of your videos in preparation. Had to refer back to this one, and I'm sure I'll do the same for the others too. Keep up the super helpful work, dude.

This is so helpful, that you so much!!

i don't even have a Quad Cortex yet i enjoyed this video

Very new to the digital amp stuff. Just got a Quad Cortex. When I go into Logic Pro following the same steps it loads with an amp over my tone. It loads brit and clean with noise gate, pedalboard.amp, channel eq, and compressor in logic over my Quad Cortex tone. How do I load in with just my Quad Cortex audio?

Thank you, was clueless when I got this device, and am so stoked that you walked me through the set up....

Waiting for mine to arrive. Meanwhile, watching this made me more anxious. Can't wait!. Thanks for taking the time to explain to us newbies. :)

Look in the owners manual for finding out what amp is named on the qc, its a free download from neural, just go to the website. Look in the devices section, toward the end of the manual, and it tells you exactly what everything is modeled after in detail.

Just ordered my piece. Thank you for this series, it helps a noob out! 😅

Buy something like ifi elite to power it. Get real quality regulated power supply.

Suuuuuper helpful! Thanks man

Solid guitar and I know I want one someday. But how did you get one? You can order them from stores here in Europe but they don't have them at the moment with a wait of a few months. And where is your one made?

Hmm, if I turned the volume dial all the way to the right, I would likely blow up my studio monitors and my eardrums. I have the QC as my audio interface and, just watching CZcams videos or listening to music on iTunes, I keep the QC volume knob on 1 (and that is with setting Out 1 and Out 2 (XLR to my studio monitors) at -10.0dB each. I am at a loss as to how to set the input/output levels.

I just received mine and this video series is exactly what I needed - subbed

Your a real good dude.

Cool video. Wish I saw this last year. If anyone wants to have a little fun while watching this video, drink at every OK.

Awesome video, subscribed as I am a newbie and looking for some pointers with this beast. Quick question, if I use the split function to split my signal one to go to my cab, one go to a FOH system. Can I setup a split to with lane 2 to have same signal except have the cab block off and have that split go to my cab through a separate output, say 3?

Interesting video... the whole gain staging discussion is still something that I can't fully grasp and there are definitely conflicting forum posts about online. I have learnt, that a lot of advise online... stems from analogue gain staging practices... and don't always translate well to the digital realm, which this is. Here are the things that I have learnt: a) Volume knob on the QC unit - Set that to full volume or 80-90% if you want to have a small amount of adjustment and aren't a gigging musician. b) Input level gain - Actually, you probably want to leave that at 0 to emulate the fact that different guitars have different outputs and drive amps in different ways (in real world). I agree with your previous video and the fact you shoud be using your higher output guitar to set set the baseline. However, changing this everytime you swap a guitar... is like making the guitar into something it is not (there are no input levels on physical amps as far as I know). The only time you would perhaps want to do it, is if you suddenly need to play all your presets with an alternative guitar but want to have the original sound - and this is when the global adjustment would make sense. c) It would be really useful to know what was the input level gain (or more precisely db level they were hitting when strumming hard) of people who made captures and presets in Cortex Cloud.

Hi Gary, this is by far the best beginners guide to QC. I hope you make more QC content. Many thanks!

Thank you Gary 🎉

Thank you so much!! Very helpful
