NDSP Quad Cortex

Micropitch!

For real, low key one of the best parts of this update. Checked a couple demos and it seems to sound really good too!

That sound you hear now is ToneJunkie and other profiling "professionals" sobbing quietly in the background.

You can hit that number if you have 2 units linked to the same account. True - some folks won't but others will.

Don't you mean "Haitch..... Doubleyoo".

That's the other thing with training locally on MY computer. I'm not limited to 10 a day, 40 a day, however many a day. I can do as many as I'd like.

Implementing a limitation ... that really blows IMO. People have paid £1600 for your device.

It’s nearly 7 hours of usage (assuming 0 setup overhead between captures) for a feature/ service that we weren’t even expecting two days ago.

NDSP has annoyed me with their neglect plenty over the years, but this reads a little too much like trying to find fault IMO.

EDIT:

Actually, I think that the improvement in that "compression capturing capabilities" has a huge influence in how much more "organic" the preamp captures feel. We captured several channels of a Triaxis, and man... just wow. It´s insane. My buddy sometimes posts blind tests in his TikTok/facebook, comparing digital (QC) to analog (Triaxis and Mark IIb), so his audience can try to guess which is which. Yesterday he told me he´s not going to be able to do it again because he himself is not able to distinguish them. I´m maybe being too enthusiastic, I don´t know. I feel this is the larger step in capturing since NAM.

Agree. So squishy!!!

So annoyed I'm stuck in France eating amazing food and getting cultured instead of at home trying out 3.3.0.

I reached out to them to ask how that cap. is handled & they just replied a few minutes ago:

Thanks for getting in touch, and good question!

If a user exceeds the 40 Capture / day limit, they are simply met with a message that says the Neural Capture is unable to completed this time, and to try again later. There is currently no queueing system for excess Capture processing.

NDSP could probably offer an unlimited (or higher limit) cloud subscription for the super heavy users to offset the cost of the cloud, but there probably aren’t enough of those guys to justify the time.

Realistically, most of the professional high volume capture guys are working on multiple platforms so they could still make 200 captures in a day even if only 40 are for QC. I don’t see this as much more than a minor inconvenience.

Any video coming on 3.3.0?

It's probably a minor inconvenience for 1% of the QC users..

I'm keen to try the new capture function. A friend is borrowing my QC at the moment though.

More like 0.01% if that. The good professional capture vendors spend time dialing in the tone for each capture and only capture settings that make sense for the amp, so 40 a day is a pretty brisk pace to do anything with a high level of quality. Unless you have multiple sound isolated rooms and are capturing multiple amps with multiple setups and bouncing between them setting one up while another is playing the capture tones etc. 40 would be very difficult to hit and maintain quality, and even that would be fatiguing as hell to do much more than 40 in a day!

Now if you are turning out bulk captures with little thought, like V, B and T at 5, and then take 10 captures with mids at 1-10, then turn the volume to 6 take 10 more capture, etc. and the turn B to 6 and get another 100 captures etc. etc. etc. Sure, you could definitely hit more than 40 in a day. That type of shit makes no sense to me unless it is to feed a soon to be developed "dynamic capture" where you can adjust the knobs like a real amp/component model and the capture player can interpolate. That's not relevant to QC v2 anyway.

v2 Captures is No Joke!
I`m finding a lot of cool Fuzz captures It`s been like...100% sound good of the 20 i got from the cloud just now. Fun times!

 

[SeeD]

Sounds good

We tested compressors too. That´s huge, mates. They feel amazing. This is the most groundbreaking feature of the update, IMHO. We A/B´ed a 1176 clon with its capture, and a CS-3, and even a digital LA-2A in the ancient POD bean (which is amazing, by the way)... and captures were spot on, both in sound and feeling.

We were shocked. These guys have really nailed it. Kudos NDSP... for me, this is the new standard in capturing.

did you capture which compressors? are you plannining to share in the Neural cloud?

 

[noizmsm]

Not sure if good place to post but I found an user with only one capture and his 800 is good in my opinion. Sounds like a real good boosted 800, no flubby or "woof" sound that 99% of captures have

Not me (I only have the NC). My buddy has several public captures (just a few, we're very busy preparing a show). His username is Raguitarra, you'll see some "V2" in the names of the captures. The clean Triaxis V2 has a compressor in post position.

I haven't heard any talk about the spring reverb, despite lots of people seemingly asking for it.
Can anyone give me a quick review?

 

[sleewell]

Didn't realize the eqd data corruptor is in there! Going to mess with it tonight. I wanted one of those so bad a while ago but never could justify it.

What's the difference between the two bit crushers?

I've been looking at the videos surrounding the new update to see if I want to get back into the QC game. This one speaks well to the new v2 update. I'm not sure what happened in the TONE WARS comparison video.
