The profiling scene now consists of several products, paid like ToneX or free like NAM, which are closer to the source amp (when trying to profile hi-gain direct settings) than the Neural Capture feature. While those products do take longer to train the models, the resulting digital tone print is pr…

I voted yes Accurate captures is the most important thing to me I’d prefer to use the QC via a desktop editor than the NAM plugin So either make the QC more accurate, maybe using longer profiling via the pc Or even let us run NAM captures as a block (it’s free and open source)

I have followed this discussion with some interest, but TBH, I disagree with the premise that the commercial success of the QC will depend on the accuracy of its capturing. These days, pretty much every serious device (modeling or profiling) on the market is “good enough for live”, and most are al…

I’ve voted for this, but not to ‘keep up with competition’ or anything - IDGAF about the competition. I got the QC for the reasons you stated - mainly ease of use, form factor, excellent signal routing capabilities and multi-amp options, and the Cortex cloud. My only critique comes from capturing …

Of course. I was just trying to plant a seed :sunglasses:

The SNR depends on the source, not the model in the case of NAM. If your source is noisy (as many tend to be with new folks trying it out or generally inexperienced at reamping and gain staging), the model will be just as noisy. Point being, it will sound like what you capture, no more and no less…

And they wouldn’t want you to do it either. They want it all in the box.

I think it would be feasible to have higher res option available in the editor with connected QC to a pc/Mac. Keep quick on board option as well. Look at amount of code in nam software, wouldn’t be hard to mimic something similar

After owning a QC for about a year now, I agree with a lot of what you say there. Personally I don’t see why many latch on to the capturing capabilities, as for me, I judge a modeler more on it’s amp/FX modelling capabilities and practical use live (and at home recording) and having enough power fo…

wasn’t expecting it, but I think this one was resolved today?
