For those who use shared captures via Cortex Cloud but never make their own captures (or do it rarely). Now it takes a lot of extra steps just to listen to any capture but often it needs no more than a moment to understand wether the capture is applicable for user or not - e.g. captures of the same gear but with different knobs position or different mic angle and distance. The oldest competitor has very convenient search and instant preview mode and could be a great reference: simple, fast, possible to be sorted search, pre-downloadable profiles to the gear by double click. ---

This request already exists. Vote here: > [@Cloud previews before downloading](https://unity.neuraldsp.com/t/cloud-previews-before-downloading/4478): > > Ability to preview captures and presents ahead of downloading. Would be neat if over the mobile app, desktop, or through QC. I would like to reserve my download space and organization to just those I know I will like to keep verses having to download furst and later delete hundreds of tests. ---

[DiffractionCircuit](https://unity.neuraldsp.com/u/DiffractionCircuit) - That request is for the Quad Cortex. **expiated** was requesting this for the Nano Cortex. ---

> [@l4rs3rik](#): > > That request is for the Quad Cortex. **expiated** was requesting this for the Nano Cortex Yes, sir! As far as the capture player is the only function of nanocortex, the requested functionality is about to be crucial (IMO) ---

Fair enough, but this is still a highly requested feature for Cortex Cloud (serving QC and Nano both) which has not been implemented. ---

Yes I agree. A fast and easy way to tryout captures would be great.
