Hi new here and don’t even have my unit yet🙃 but applying an autogain feature on the input would be the easiest solution… Don’t know how hard that would be for the programming team to get up and running but makes alot of sense to me… And would save you having to save all those guitar input presets… Just plug and play
This my answer to another feature request and then thought I should put it up as an actual request… As said new here so hope nobody minds me doing this…oh can’t wait to get the quad cortex I use the plugins and love em
Is there anything like this on other products you have used?
I’m having a hard time imagining how this could possibly work.
Mainly:
How is the the QC supposed to know which guitar is connected?
How would the QC know if the connected guitar has low output pickups or just the volume knob is rolled off.
This reminds me a lot of the general discussion about input gain in modelers and plugins.
On one side there is the argument, that if you want the modeler to react exactly like the amp, then you shouldn’t change gain between instruments. A real amp would react differently to low and high output pickups after all.
On the other side are those who don’t care about “realism” and just want their input gain normalized across different instruments. (which I think is what you are going for with this feature request)
Both are are valid, depending on what you are trying to achieve. But I don’t see how the normalization could be completely automated.
Hi and very good points you have said… It was an answer to somone elses feature request… And they were saying they are having to save settings for higher gain pickups and lower gain pups and I guess i just said auto gain would probably be the simplist way of doing this and you wouldn’t need to be setting up different profiles for different guitars. Which suggested to me they want to keep the levels in check.
Maybe i took them up wrong and if I did then I’ll apoligise for it… But as you say some like to have everything level and some will want the amp to behave like in the real world… Higher output pups will push the preamp more…
Autogain is on audio interfaces like presonus/evo and others and there is also plugins that auto gain inputs…and like anything if you don’t like it on you don’t have to switch it on…
And having about 20 guitars behind me and using them at different times and it may be more useful in certain scenarios
Auto gain is a feature that automatically adjusts the input level to the optimal setting, ensuring your recordings are neither too quiet nor too loud. This is great for beginners as it simplifies the setup process, getting rid of the need to manually set gain levels. With auto gain, you achieve the right balance quickly, preventing distortion and maintaining sound quality.
It would also just be on pluging in your guitar bass etc get your instrument to max volume and turn on auto gain let it do its listening and then it’s done…
And also some people might find it easier to just save profiles… And I’m also happy to delete all this, but once it’s done it’s adjustments it usually only takes a couple of seconds to do it then it’s done… You can then turn your volume up or down as you wish
Oh so it’s like a short “calibration phase” where it would listen for peak volume and adjust the gain so it isn’t clipping? Like a tuner, only for input volume.
Yeah imagine that could be helpful if you switch instruments often and want to have one baseline input level.
It would also mean that you don’t have to eyeball the peak volume on the gauge, but let QC measure it.
Maybe there are other users who would like this and this gathers some votes. Let’s wait and see.
