SoOOoN (Neural DSP Nano Cortex)

[BenIfin]

I was asked a genuine and serious question ..... so I gave it my honest considered opinion ..... if someone asks me something I try to explain it as best I can with my reasons ..... in this case, its wasn't the sort of response that could sensibly and thoughtfully be expressed in 3 lines of text and a meme.

Rabea seems cool and is a good player but Neural has a stink on them and that infects every conversation they come up in.

Me to… but mostly because he is himself. Has always been totally open and honest about his opinions. He stays the same, doesn’t change. So it’s much easier to disagree with his opinions without getting mad at him for it.

I think he is rich and buys much of the stuff he reviews as well

The flextone put me off modelling for 20 years. Cost a load of cash and I ended up giving mine away in the end.

Flex tone 3?

Rabeas video was fine imo. Sure it would have been nicer to have a drummer there but its the rabea show just like misha and nolly or anyone doing videos solo. 99.999% of every music video ever is the full band fake playing over the music on set which has been on repeat for the last 6 hours, its the same thing haha.

Everyone's worried about AI taking over the creative space but we're fine on shitting on talented musicians because they put too much energy into a music video and are producing high quality stuff out of their bedrooms/houses

Do you think Rabea’s performance was real or mimed to a pre-recorded track? One take?

For the record, I wasn’t shitting on him. I think he’s a talented dude. But that video was cringy asf IMO.

The music would be playing in the room and he'd be overdubbing/Miming the performance like a "normal" music video. Definitely not a one take wonder you can see from the shot changes. Probably had multiple takes of sections to chop and change in post, typical stuff.

I can see your criticism but ive been on sets before and shoot my own stuff, its all a mime... he went a bit OTT with the facials but I dunno, its just a music video everyone does it.

Further development to the Dual Cortex concept. What kind of I/O would you like to see on the back?

Stereo in/out combi-jacks, MIDI in/out, USB-C, Toslink, TRS Expression, and TRS for additional footswitches.

Edit: Second set of stereo in/out combi-jacks for additional output routing.

Define "rich"!

I buy loads of stuff and I'm not rich - comfortable, yes, with sufficient spare income to buy pretty much whatever I want whenever I want, but I still have to work for a living.

Rabea was essentially an Andertons employee just a few short years ago - he's obviously doing well enough now to make a decent living from his music career and his endorsements, but I bet you he still has to get up in the morning, pull on his big boy pants, and get to work to pay his bills!

Stephen Carpenter is a case in point, because he goes through gear like no one's business!

Also the “product placement” in those videos isn’t at all what people around the forums got a bur up their ass about calling it “shilling”…. it’s his gear he was given just for being a famous player. He is not trying to promote anything other than their music and maybe his guitar models but he was playing some that aren’t even available to anyone but himself. The comparison is a silly one imho. To me all that YTuber hate smells of some jealousy of someone who actually makes a good living doing something that person couldn’t.

No hate from me. If I had the time to do it, I'd do it myself!

i dont hate, on anything. But jealous... hell yeah... im crazy jealous of anyone being able to have fun daytime and nighttime. But in a childish way, im pretty happy not being in the spotlight like Rabbea.
Im 43, got kids, 07-16 job, house, and the bank owns me. But hey.... many people are jealous at me to. Different lives.

We are all allowed to be jealous :) hate is a strong word. Be jealous, dream, fantasize, don't hate. "This is my message to youhuhu"

I'm 64, got kids 35-40, retired, no more house, and only $5K in debt.

I actually envy where you're at sometimes. Life back then was challenging but also much more rewarding in lots of little ways each day.
Just having your kids around all of the time is so great.

Now is nice without all of the deadlines and financial pressures, but all too often boring and monotonous as hell.

THANK GOD for legal weed!

Nope. Stephen Carpenter and his bands legacy is a completely different universe than whatever thing Rabea does musically. Aka let's get fucking real for a second.

So true but can't help but sadly think that for a lot of the Youtube generation of music consumers they'd be, "Stephen who?"
The ones that could tell you the entire Peyton's Place arc of Rob Chapman's storied.... career.

Lol. Forget the youtube generation, I'm 44 and I had no idea who he was, I've just Googled him.

I can't tell you much about Rob Chapman's career either, apart from the fact that he's a bellend.

 

[the swede]

Didnt Rob like.... fuck up something... and now he's alone (or it looks like that anyway)...

But one thing... I really wanted that Rabbea Chapman Telecaster for a while... should have bought it back then. Its a killer guitar.
