Quad Cortex Mini

I wish you could trial the plugin within the QC itself that would be nice.

Don't forget the Nameless (juiced plexi)

Don't forget the Nameless (juiced plexi)

It's my favorite plugin of all time

I'm pretty sure you can't but have you tried? It would show up as a trial in your iLok right? Maybe it would work

That's the thing, if it's syncing to iLok then why WOULDN'T it be able to be trialed on the QC, where I actually use these plugins 99% of the time lol. I just tested it to be certain and it doesn't work.

if you do end up buying something don't forget your coupon code.

Nah I have a shit ton of their plugins, I'm impatiently waiting on Petrucci and the IIC+ to get PCOM

I guess SW was temporarily the exclusive QC retailer? Maybe for the first year or two? There's no way I would have just spontaneously invented this idea.

Anyway, glad to hear there are some other options now.

This is live on their website right now. It does not indicate anything about timing. Misleading IMO. Makes it seem like SW is the sole authorized dealer, and does nothing to communicate the transient nature of their monopoly.

This preset is using one of MirrorProfiles' IRs and Zuul from Nameless. It's got a Diezel VHX capture that (imo) has beaten the shit out of any sound I've heard so far for my tastes - like

Sweetwater, keepin' it classy.

So, my QC Mini arrived this afternoon. I have to say, Neural did a really great job with the design. It looks very classy, and let me tell you...

I like the form factor and it suits my needs.

But seriously, I can't make a direct comparison now, but I think I can say with reasonable certainty that the Mini is significantly less noisy than the original QC. I sent that one back because I had a significantly lower noise level when playing the plugins on my Mac than with the same plugin components on the QC. So now I've just done a direct comparison between the Nolly X ‘Engage the Curse’ preset (without noise gate) on the QC Mini and as a plugin. The result: practically no difference, the noise level is almost identical.

Really happy with my purchase so far!

are you able to report whether the Plini PCOM sounds like its VST partner? (or at least close enough) thanks

Is there a plugin where you think it sounds different?

you're kidding right

 

[Dez]

No that’s why I asked lol, I was wondering why you’d ask if Plini sounds different on the QC.

I'm asking to get his opinion.
There are tons of factors involved but if it's close enough then I would deem it worth while.

Is it technically only at Sweetwater if they don't actually have any at Sweetwater?
