Since the QC is 48khz only, shouldn’t it be possible to run it at 44.1 if NDSP were to allow it?
The QC is locked at 48k sample rate. Why would you want a lesser quality sample rate?
Many users have recordings at 44.1 they’d like to add the QC to
Oh, ok. I guess I don’t understand how you “add” the QC to a 44.1k recording session. Do you mean, to use as the QC as an interface? If so, that would make sense.
Yes, they want to use the QC to add tracks in a DAW that can’t resample or convert the rate on the fly
I’d like that!
Spotify runs on 44.1 and I bet most of us use it. To avoid resampling when critical listening or playing along and recording in a DAW driver should be set at 44.1 to avoid useless conversions. Anyway I didnt noticed any real difference (despite it is there because 4 thousands samples are invented by interpolation).
Yes, would love to see this… Upvoted
Also because YouTube, Spotify and whatever else runs on 44.1k, when you alt tab out to use those programs the interface won’t have crashing issues.
I’m not sure but wouldn’t you need converters that are capable of doing 44,1kHz? It might not be possible to do this with just a software update.
Please, please pardon my ignorance here. Why would the sample rate matter? As long as wherever you are recording to is set to the sample rate you need, isn’t that where it matters since you are recording a new waveform?
Again, maybe I don’t understand this, but want to.
Edit: I think I sort of understand as far as the interface side of it.
Sorry, digging up an old one here, but if the thing you’re recording to doesn’t support 48K, it won’t talk to the QC. E.g. the Akai MPC series will host USB interfaces, but only at 44.1K.
Appreciate I’m probably very much in a minority here but I’d one day hope to connect QC to Akai MPC Live via USB. Akai plays a backing track to play over using the Akai’s in-built speaker for ‘bedroom level’ practice. This requires either Akai to support 48K, or QC to support 44.1.
I cancelled my purchase of Quad Cortex because of this failing.
I’m sharing all sorts of files with other musicians which are at 44.1 Khz, receiving recording projects to contribute to at 96 kHz. I’m often having to work away from home when touring.
Hi @Sandy
Can understand you have a problem with this. But: Has this strategy of flooding forums with complaints worked for you in the past?
Grown ups who yell at people pushes them away, it’s nothing more than a childish emotional reaction to think it will lead to a satisfying solution for other than oneself. The equivalent of dropping to the floor, screaming at the mall for an ice cream.
(Edit: Not that i haven’t yelled at other’s myself)
Peace
Quad Cortex has had the 48 KHz bitrate spec since day one. You found this out after you ordered one for audio interface use?
Look at any other hardware modeler. Helix, Axe FX III, QC are all fixed at a sample rate (mostly 48l). If you change the sample rate to 96 then all the DSP on board would drastically change. You would have way less DSP on these units if they operated at 96 vs 48, etc. Makes sense they would optimize them for one sample rate.
Get an actual dedicated interface if you’re doing so many projects. Also, you can just reamp with the QC with a normal audio interface if you just use analog outputs from the interface. Sample rate doesn’t matter with that.
Most major modelers are fixed at 48k just like the QC for multiple reasons:
Google AI states:
48 kHz (Video/Pro Audio Quality): The standard for television, film, video, and games. It is increasingly used as a standard for music production as well.
Regardless, thanks for your 2hrs of contributions to the forum and good luck with your search for what works for you best.
Thanx @Sandy for deleting your repeated posts to a more reasonable amount, so it doesn’t come across as hostile.
Sincerely would like to see you back here with a QC, having perhaps learned that it’s neither you nor the features (or lack thereof?) of the unit that’s wrong. It was simply the approach.
Bless
Or as an afterthought was it you @MP_Mod who removed the posts?
That would make me laugh at myself (which I already do just by the thought
)
Thanx anyway.
Just trying to maintain decorum and organization for our forum and it’s awesome members.
Nobody is breaking rules, no warnings etc., just keeping posts on topic as usual.
Kudos is due where kudos is due, thanx again the your long and awe inducing work @MP_Mod .
