Making it sound a lot better than the official bass launch video.

[ikestoddard]

Wonderful tools that Neural DSP has made. Hurry with that follow-on video!

[BassPlayer]

Many thanks Erik!! Appreciate the sincere in depth video.
Been a QC owner for a while now and looking forward to my Nano :)

Cheers,
Mike G

Ordered my nano cortex an hour ago fingers crossed its as good on bass as QC is and here comes our bass gear savior Erik Arko with a demo - thank you Arko!!

Gate instead of Compressor tells me bass is still an after-thought for them

[tetanusforbreakfast]

£499 in the UK.
for that, a Darkglass Infinity, Photon and ADAM could be better option for bass in my opinion.
DK has built-in compressor, better blend control (most even have crossover or some solution for that), better built-in tuner on the unit itself. DGs were designed for bass players.
but the DGs don't have transpose/pitch shifter, modulation/delay/reverb effects (only the ADAM has chorus). And DG can't make/play a capture.

If they could add compressor and a crossover with control over the two separated signal... then it would be much much better.

Thanks for standing up for us bassists, Erik!

[hrgbass]

Love this man! Great to see you digging into the Nano & App. 👊🏼

[frantiseksvarc]

All five captures you loaded sounded pretty sick, in my opinion. I really like the EBS one and Acoustic 450 captures.
Currently putting together bass QC rig so I will probably use one of those.

[scubatromp]

Only one capture can be in a signal chain? That's a no start for me. No XLR out? No effects loop?

[danafra]

I got mine. And pair with zoom b6. Quality of tone is mind blowing.. the IR is very responsive.

[chucksona]

i love your videos bro very informative

[antownzio]

@erikarko ok now I have to ask a follow up question... this or the microtubes infinity as per my last question?

[addystontuckerray]

I feel like it might be a good option if you are building a hybrid rig, also if you want an all in one rig for guitar and bass that is supplemented by pedals. That’s where I’m leaning towards using it for.

[matthewduncan]

Oh god my YouTube algorithm is going to pump a lot of videos to me 😂

[manuelramos]

Super dissapointing... I ordered it the moment I saw the unveiling video and after looking at this cancelled my order

[goschkoder]

new video for the recent update would be greatly appreciated!

[sixsentsoldiers]

The Cortez Nano doesn't have an XLR out?

[LorenLeonard]

Thanks for sharing. I was really curious to get a closer look at the unit. Not so sure on this device.

[BassFumi]

Thanks for the video presentation,
I was looking forward to it but I don’t know, I’m not sure if it’s really worth it for bass,
They said we could capture Parallax X and put it in,
Have you tried? Does it work? That’s basically the only thing that matters to me, putting Parallax X in 😅
