I have a question about the Neural Capture fonction inside the Quad Cortex.
I wonder if it would be effective to recreate the sound of acoustic modeling guitar pedals like TC electronic Bodyrez, Fishman Aura System or Audiosprockets Tonedexter ?
These pedals utilize different algorythms to recreate the true sound of an acoustic instrument from the sound of the pickup in the instrument. They modify the dynamics, EQ and time behavior of the pickup sound to match the one of the instrument with a microphone.
I find these pedals really necessary for acoustic instruments, and the ability to have them captured inside the Quad Cortex would make it the only piece of gear I would bring to a gig for all of my instruments.
i second this! So many guitarists play acoustic guitar as well.
A bodyrez feature would be great, with notch filters and phase inversions. Tonedexter and the new Baggs pedal is something different as creating an IR first with a mike is involved.
However, yes, some acoustic pedals please!
I spent some time to find a solution which works very well when fully mastered !
I managed to create impulse responses for my acoustic instruments and load them into the IR loader of the cabinet into the QC.
How to do it is over there, not very easy but well worth it :
I’ve also created custom IR’s of my acoustic guitar. That takes some fancy software, an expensive mic, and some computer time. That being said check out 3 sigma audio. They have some great acoustic IR’s for sale. Worth the spend.
Yes you can. Look up instructions on loading custom IR’s. In short, you upload them via the neural website, download them onto the QC, then use the cab block and load the custom IR’s.
Thanks…. I saw in a video. It seems you actually upload them to the internet to your account on their website, and then connect the machine to the internet, log in, and then download them to the machine.
YES, you can capture images in the Aura Spectrum. Of course just remember that it captures your tone and compression settings as well. I have a couple of these as scenes and they sound exactly like the Aura…amazing! I have also used acoustic IRs. I’ve had great results in both cases using several guitars with piezos (LP, Tele, Strat) and it works really well.
Does which cab you choose have an effect on the tone of your IR? At the very least I would assume the mic choice and placement are changing it. What if i want the IR to be neutral with no changes?
I have a Fishman Aura and have use Logic Pro X impulse utility to capture impulse responses of its patches. I then use these IRs in Helix or QC. Works great. You don’t need to use a QC Capture to do this, just an IR will do. The Fishman Aura files are not loadable IRs, you have to create an IR from them.
