Are you excited to get yours or has this crowd soured it

This crowd?.....
Makes me want to see Neural succeed like crazy with it.
Just like they did with the Quad.

For the record pretty much 90% of the tones I have heard from this thing are very good

My only fear is how it will sound bypassing the IR/Cab and going direct.
That's where the Tonex kinda stumbled after a bit. Same with the Amperium.

The Quad was killer used DI so I got high hopes.

So are you saying removing a baked in cab from a capture? I don't think the NC (and I know for a fact the QC) can do that. Only way to do that is to capture a DI

Each preset has a 5 option IR slot which can be turned off so I'm assuming all the amp captures are DI.

Well I’m glad he’ll be able to load his Plini stuff at least

I read the texts before I saw who posted it and automatically knew it was you.

The simple fact that at that size and price point has the capability to capture its a GAME CHANGER!

You never let us done Nicolas :) Never stop ..... :)

My ruthless and honest opinion. PART 1

Probably %95 or more of people .... not including most people here on TGF ...... as witnessed with the Kemper and Tonex ....

(a) never bother to Capture their own gear
(b) don't have the gear to properly capture their own rig wells
(c) haven't got a clue about gain-staging a Capture
(d) have little to no idea about how to dial-in a useable tone
(e) the Profile / Capture market is already pretty much owned by Kemper and Tonex and is well and truly already over-saturated
(f) kids in their basement bedrooms are too busy null-testing NAM and screaming out that its better than everything if only people would listen to them and
(g) all of the above.

Oh ... and what is actually "Cortex" about this ?

The whole idea here is for NDSP to "apple'ize" Captuing via their eventual store via selling small-paid - probably single amp packs - made by "pro's" whilst NDSP takes a decent cut out of each sale.

Nothing wrong with that ... it just is what it is.

Just my 5c

All the best Nicolas :)

Any chance of changing the title of your OP now that it's released???

In the Anderton video they went through captures with cabs baked in so you will need to ensure to bypass the IR. It can run both DI and Amp/Cab caps

 

[namathan_zirwir]

Was just subjecting myself to NDSP's deep dive video for the NC and man, this thing is not intuitive at all

And i don't mean "oh, it has a learning curve", but "i haven't used this feature in a month so now i have no idea where to find it". Even the phone app navigation's icky.



Honestly, surprising coming from the QC, which is extremely intuitive to navigate without ever touching a manual.

It's not intuitive? Have you used anything made by Fractal?

but can you do that ? I know most of the capture guys selling have DI and cab loaded captures in their packs

my understanding is you can't remove a Cab if it baked in , if you want to use an Ir or Neural cab you need a direct

 

[timbuck3]

Yeah man, that was my first thought. You would have to edit ALL of the Presets you wanted to modify and there are only 4 you can change with the 2 foot switches. I wonder if people really understand what the foot switches actually do and don't do. LOL!

Hard psd if that’s so

 

[timbuck3]

Hard pass.. oh well

So you were going to buy one

Sorry not trying to confuse lol

In NDSP land there are 2 types of amp captures

1) DI
2) Amp Head and Cab

In the NC you can load one of the other into the capture slot. You cannot remove the cab from #2 (Amp Head and Cab) but the IR block in the chain will need to be deactivated to ensure you aren't doubling up on speakers. That's what I meant by ensuring you disable the IR.

No way in hell

We aren't comparing fractal here. We are comparing the QC to the NC. Many QC users hang their hat on the ease of use of the QC as to why they prefer it over other digital devices. This NC does not seem nearly as easy to use as the QC.

 

[GTR37]

Hard psd if that’s so

are you going to use more than 4 presets though ? , and if you are at home you can go through as many as like , the 4 presets is if you are going live , you should probably wait though and see what Fractal has coming up possibly next week
