    David: this is one reason I love you and your work. Your own attention to detail.
    I have watched nearly all of the vids introducing the Neural Quad Cortex and while some of them have been fantastic [Rabea, Pete Thorn, Tom Quayle], you are the only one who showed us the included HARDBOUND BOOK detailing what appears to be the creation of the device.
    You're the only one who even bother to show us the cover, let alone fanning through a few pages. This is such a small point but to me really shows the attention to detail, pride and craft that Neural has with their products. Especially when they choose to make a large format, glossy hardbound book included with every unit.
    It's the little things that often really matter.
    I ask only one thing from you - NEW MUSIC PLEASE!

  • @thedutchdjentleman

    I feel like the preset you made had a bit of a digital edge, which is my honest opinion. The unit looks great and I feel like a different amp and cab setup would totally filter out the digitalness.

    Great unbox and demo. I’m looking forward to more videos of it. More for your playing than the quad. I want a quad in the future though so it’s helpful to see how it works and sounds. I got an hx stomp a year ago so I need to get more miles out of it before I make another big purchase.

    Your playing is fucking great. Really love your style. More mesmorising than the Quad Cortex to be honest. It seems like your playing is perfectly suited to demonstrating the dynamic response. Keeping a watch on the RADAR festival here in the UK, hopefully will get to see you covid permiting.
    I feel like the plug-ins are more than sufficient for my needs and price range. But I am curious. I'm totally confused about how it integrates with your DAW. Does this just act like an audio interface? Would you need to re-amp to change your sound after recording?

    • @natebryan6859
      @natebryan6859 4 года назад

      from my understanding reamping is as easy as just routing your input to another one of the 4 paths and leaving it dry DI - so no need for 4CM or anything

    • @robertjones9598
      @robertjones9598 4 года назад

      Thanks for the responses guys, based on them I think my ideas on how it integrates with a DAW are more or less correct. I still think it's severe overkill for my budget, I think my car costs less. Not arguing that it's not good value, just not for me.

    Please consider doing some REAMP with QUAD CORTEX, because the "legend / gossip" about XLR Combo INPUTS of QUAD CORTEX says that these XLR Combo INPUTS have support to INSTRUMENTS and LINE a audio signal...
    Does it mean that THESE XLR Combo INPUTS could RECEIVE the audio DIRECTLY from AUDIO INTERFACE's OUTPUT to do a REAMP from a CLEAN DI ( Direct Box ) Guitar track❓

    I'm curious. I watched Paul David's review of this and he was VERY critical of this unit. i know you are sponsored by them, but did you encounter any of the issues he brought up? or are you just more familiar with Neural's systems and better at using it and creating patches than him?

    • @DavidMaximMicic
      @DavidMaximMicic  4 года назад +3

      I didn't find it "very critical", I found most of his criticism pretty constructive and he suggested some changes that most of us would agree on. I have 2 or 3 more videos to do as I get more familiar with the unit and I myself will have some things to bring up, some publicly, some privately with the Neural guys.
      cheers! :)

    • @cxcevents
      @cxcevents 4 года назад

      to be fair. i wasnt implying he was overly critical. i just felt like he had a lot of complaints about the unit which highly contrasted the praises DMM has given it so far. im sure we will learn more once he releases his next video. also no implying you are praising it unjustly.

I think the kemper, helix, fractal, and neural all sound amazing but idk for some reason I just like the headrush better. Am I trippin? I have played through the plini plugin though and it sounds amazinngggggg so neural definitely would be the other top rated one in my opinion.
