Thank you so much for watching! Check out the (very nice looking and probably the best quality you'll ever wear) merch from the Animals As Leaders tour: keyanhoushmand.sellfy.store/
Nice overview of what your doing on the cortex. Not sure if you knew this, but you can put the noise gate straight on to the input and it will free up a block. I don't think it changes the CPU usage at all. Press and hold on your input icon on your screen and turn it on. Might come in handy for you as you build presets. Best of luck!
so sick to finally see someone using 1 QC for the whole band! feel like that was one of the big selling points no one talks about..... mad. cheers Keyan!
True, I thought of that too, when I saw the trailer for the QC. But then I realized, I already need 2 of the 4 lines in QC, because of the different Captures and Effects that have to be in the Scene for switching Clean, Rhythm and Lead as well as Reverb and Delay. So the bass player can have on line and the rhythm guitarist can have another line, which have to be rather basic. But then again: Using 2 Units for 4 instrumentalists or 3 + vocalist would be fine
@Keyan Houshmand Live hello, is it easy to change tunings on an evertune equipped guitar? Asking because there aren't too many videos explaining how to do it. I did see one where the process of downtuning and back to standard is very different from other bridges. Is that accurate? Finally about your midi setup. Pardon the noob question but midi is confusing. Does your laptop running pro tools have to be connected to the cortex while playing for midi changes to happen? Or is it that once you program it per song and send the instructions to the cortex, it automatically happens? Thanks
Absolutely love listening to people speak so passionately about what they love, in such detail. This is just incredible, super happy for all of your success! Much deserved! Can't wait for pt. 2 :)
Man, that Tele is such a beauty! Regarding the Dingwall strings, I've either had to order them from Newtone Strings in the UK or from DIngwall directly (they do a Drop F# 5 string pack). Love the simplicty of the setup dude, I can't wait to build up my Quad Cortex rig when we tour again ahaha
And I'm still using an old Zoom G1on with a Cuvave (IR loader) and a cheap FM transmitter (for In-ears). One day I will be able to have a quad cortex or something similar Great video, btw.
Solid, pretty much exactly how I run my Axe-FX, except I use a DG ADAM for my bass and then fine tune it with EQ, etc, in the Axe-FX. Good stuff, hope the tour went well!
I saw you using Behringer x32, wanted to ask you about how you mix IEM and make a video. You are making a video .. awesome.! Waiting for it. Thank you 😊
Pumped for the meshuggah sig vid. Needa see if that 8k was worth it😂 Oh yeah also by the fuckin way I’m so proud of you? You just toured with fuckin aal you’ve come so far dude, you can tell you’ve put in the work and again so proud of you
Since you guys use backing tracks with IEM and a click track, I'd love to see how you have it setup so you don't have to rely on each house's backline.
I would love to see a tutorial on how to midi-program the QC, I have trouble getting it to work for me. I use Cubase and there is no tutorial or anything out there that helped me to got it working
I use a lot of Neural’s plugins for my bedroom recording right now, but have been intrigued with the QC. Curious if you think it’s worth it for someone who isn’t going to play live shows, or if it’s gratuitous?
My band and I tried using scene for every song on the QC but when we would get to the point of the scene change (song change) audio would drop out for like half a second then come back. Does this happen to you? If not maybe you have some tips? Thank you!
I have mad questions about Misha’s Jackson 7 string. I’m in between that and Aaron Marshall’s and mark Holcomb PRS and i want the Jackson, but i keep hearing it’s got terrible quality issues. What’s the deal? Should i get the ET7 and just get it checked out by sweet water?
I have the pro series with the fixed bridge it’s great. Not as nice as my Balaguer Diablo 7 or my Ibanez ftm-33, I would say both of those are a higher tier of quality (also double the price) but the Jackson is really nice for the price. I upgraded the bridge to hipshot and put some guitarmory pickups and it’s great. The 20” radius and narrow nut are a slight learning curve after playing 16” radius and standard nut width 7 strings only, but nothing major.
@@KeyanHoushmandLive Thanks K.... It is really nice that your replies are so damn fast. I'll peak at your rig at the I build sky gig. Got my 🎟already \m/
All these shirts (apart from one of them, which is a ‘Heavy Tee’.. which is even better than a ‘Classic Tee’) are AS Colour Classic Tees, which are amongst the highest quality shirt blanks that money can buy. Unlike most band’s merch, they won’t die the washing machine after two washes, won’t stain from deodorant, won’t go rough and chalky and definitely won’t shrink. These are also priced in $44 Australian Dollars, which turns out to be around $30 USD. Considering the fact that most bands charge upwards of $50 for (shitty Gildan) shirts that aren’t even remotely close to the quality of these, I think you’ll find that these are a pretty good deal
With shipping all the way to France, I paid like 34€, so, yeah, it's definitely a pretty good deal ! And I can say (from the Gradient merch drop over a year ago) that these are top notch quality !
Thank you so much for watching!

sick rig! can't wait for part 2 and hope you'll do a tutorial on how to midi control the quad cortex soon 🙏
so sick to finally see someone using 1 QC for the whole band! feel like that was one of the big selling points no one talks about..... mad. cheers Keyan!
this was literally what I had in mind when I saw the first ad from Neural, glad that he managed to use it in that way!
True, I thought of that too, when I saw the trailer for the QC. But then I realized, I already need 2 of the 4 lines in QC, because of the different Captures and Effects that have to be in the Scene for switching Clean, Rhythm and Lead as well as Reverb and Delay.

The Haunted uses one QC for the whole band (2 guitars, 1 bass). Or at least used to. Ola Englund has videos about this.
Serious congrats on the Animals as Leaders tour, so happy for you 💜
Thank you bro! It was an amazing time and I’m looking forward to doing it all again with I Built The Sky in June
@KeyanHoushmandLive that's great to hear! Good luck for June :)
This is excellent! Thanks for putting this video together! You guys have the best live sound I've heard
Thanks so much for saying that dude! That means the world to me
Meshuggah signature?! Where’s the video?!?!
soon my brother

So crazy to say I was here from the start 🖤 so proud of you bro
You should do a video explaining/showing how you captured your plugin and post processing live tone.
It’s been 3 months! The part 2 is taking a lot of time🥲.. loved this tho
I'm in love with my QC 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Great stuff Keyan. Can't wait for the breakdow of the x32 and stuff. Really intertested how you get midi working from reaper as well. Thanks man!

Dude, I’m well pleased for you, seeing how your career as taken off. Mad props dude.
Great vid. super keen for the next one on the IEM rig! also, loved the show with IBTS in Canberra. fkn amazing.
So glad I got to check you out on tour with AAL in Adelaide. You rocked!
Quality stuff ❤
Love you man!
So interesting to see you capture your DAW guitar tone! Thank you for sharing!
Solid, pretty much exactly how I run my Axe-FX, except I use a DG ADAM for my bass and then fine tune it with EQ, etc, in the Axe-FX. Good stuff, hope the tour went well!
You should get an Evertune installed in the flame maple USA juggernaut.
wonderful! Thank you for sharing this content!! ❤
Cannot wait for part 2! Any chance you would mind sharing this patch on the cortex cloud?!
Cool vid, thanks for the 45 frames of me meeting AAL. keen for the IEM rack rundown!
I saw you using Behringer x32, wanted to ask you about how you mix IEM and make a video. You are making a video .. awesome.! Waiting for it. Thank you 😊
Interesting to see what you're saying about snapping strings on the Meshuggah. Didn't want a multiscale for an 8?
ah this is great thanks mate!
Insane brother! Hope your journey will take you to Montreal, Canada one day!
Come a long way from Periphery covers and tone tutorials. Keep it up, bro.
Thats great! Are you going to Upload The first shown preset to your cloud so I Can Try out the Bass? :))
Great job mate
Evertune fyw got me one a year a go ...never looked back
Pumped for the meshuggah sig vid. Needa see if that 8k was worth it😂
Oh yeah also by the fuckin way I’m so proud of you? You just toured with fuckin aal you’ve come so far dude, you can tell you’ve put in the work and again so proud of you
Congrats on yourr success!! maybe u get to tour with northlane or thornhill one day!!!!
Any reason you use reaper instead of the DAW you usually use(if I remember correctly you use FL)?
Since you guys use backing tracks with IEM and a click track, I'd love to see how you have it setup so you don't have to rely on each house's backline.
Nvm, just reach out the end of the video lol
I don’t like the delay on the QC’s tuner either. No idea why they designed it this way. My wireless has a tuner so that’s what I use.
Awesome run through thank you very informative
Dope
Every chance to get those presets? Sick setup mate 🤙
I’ll buy your merch if you promise to make a full length album
I would love to see a tutorial on how to midi-program the QC, I have trouble getting it to work for me. I use Cubase and there is no tutorial or anything out there that helped me to got it working
get a superior FM9. then see cooper for a 15 hour course on it.
Great video. Would you please share your presets in cortex app?thank you 😊
no
I'd love to learn to do midi changes via reaper. Any good videos or resources to learn to do this?
I have a new video that goes through exactly how to do this. It’s on my channel!
I use a lot of Neural’s plugins for my bedroom recording right now, but have been intrigued with the QC. Curious if you think it’s worth it for someone who isn’t going to play live shows, or if it’s gratuitous?
Def. NOT. MG-30 can hold you over for now. I paid $200. I had a FM9 too. MG-30 is good enough for a casual at home jammer.
My band and I tried using scene for every song on the QC but when we would get to the point of the scene change (song change) audio would drop out for like half a second then come back. Does this happen to you? If not maybe you have some tips? Thank you!

The 20” radius and narrow nut are a slight learning curve after playing 16” radius and standard nut width 7 strings only, but nothing major.
How does the Pro series play and feel with regular frets? I get the wear issue but is there much difference between the USA?
It feels identical, it’s just a touch heavier because of the evertune. The guitars feels exactly the same in every other aspect
For $2000 this mf better hold up.
What happens if your laptop dies? Can you still play the show with minimal gear?
We bring another laptop as a backup ;)
Do you have a super long usb cable?
@@mosquedadavid the laptop sits on top of the rack, which sits right next to the drum kit
@@KeyanHoushmandLive Thanks K.... It is really nice that your replies are so damn fast. I'll peak at your rig at the I build sky gig. Got my 🎟already \m/
@@mosquedadavid Nice! Come up and say hey 🖤🫶
MIDI switching is so clutcg these days
44 bucks for a shirt sure thing.

Where does the sound come from am I able to use this instead of a big amp
