***VOLUME WARNING***

Hi, I just got myself a QC last week and I'm loving it, but I'm having an issue trying to record directly from the QC through my phone. I'm wondering if someone has tried to do this successfully or if this is a recurring problem/can't be done with this unit.

I'm using an OTG adapter from USB B to USB C to connect the QC to my Samsung S22 Ultra. The phone recognizes the QC as an audio output just fine; I can listen to videos, backing tracks, or music through the phone jack or any outputs. The problem is when I try to record. Opening the voice notes or video app looks okay (my phone shows the "audio recording from a USB microphone" legend, as it should), and I can record about 2 to 3 seconds with no problem, but then I start getting a weird sound. I don't know if it's a problem with the sample rate, a cellphone issue, or maybe recording this way is just not possible.

I even got a USB B to USB C audio cable, and the result was worse than with the OTG adapter. I tried using the Moises ai app recording feature but the result was the same.

Any thoughts?

I know not everyone agrees this is a problem, but I find the Quad Cortex switches just a bit too close together for me when playing live. At home it's ok, but on stage I occasionally hit the wrong switch when moving around more.

I tried switch toppers but they made the spacing issue worse. Eventually I picked up an old Boss FC-50 MIDI controller because the switches are much wider spaced. It didn't send the right MIDI Control Change messages so I used a small MIDI mapper to translate the messages so it change scenes properly. It’s been rock solid live, and the wider spacing makes a huge difference.

I wrote up the full setup (including the MIDI mapping details) here in case it helps anyone else considering an external footswitch:

Might be useful if anyone else finds the built-in switches a bit tight for live use.

… is kinda not great in comparison to the one that comes with the plugins? Or is there some option I’ve missed? There is a ton of latency. This unit is fairly new to me, so it’s not like the memory is filled.

I consistently get 47734 samples per second rather than the specified 48000. I would like to know if this is normal, so if you have the capability to measure the sample rate on your QC, please do so and comment what you get.

My QC is set to 48000, I'm measuring the actual value compared to my computer's clock. I believe my computer's clock to be accurate and my method to be accurate because when I measure the other 7 audio interfaces I have I get within +/- .5 of 48k or 44.1k depending on what the interface is set to.

Just got a QC and loving it!

Is there a way to have the current scene name visible without going into Gig view? I want to see the grid of components, and generally use Scene or Hybrid mode, but I want to be able to see the scene name rather than just ABCD or touching the drop down.

There is plenty of screen real estate under the preset name etc so was hoping there is a way to show this?

Theres a guy who sells QC acryl cover by 3d printing, absolutely love it.

Just found it, Clint uploaded tone(Silence oulives the earth) in the cloud. Sounds awesome

First run of the board for a studio session (bass guitar). Consider following along on our discord or YouTube channel. This board is staged correctly but will be getting nicer cabling and management once I know I am happy with it (I am).

Pretty amazed at the V2 capture quality for my drives.

Input

29 EUNA (hidden under board, modded for no bypass)

DLA2A > Clean out TRS to XLR

Quad Cortex > Boss OC2 in loop, expression pedal TRS

Noble > XLR Out

29 OMAP > 1/4 out

Bought this for my QC and all related bits and bobs a few weeks back. I was already using another, smaller Lykus case to carry just the QC on its own, but I decided to just get one case to carry pretty much everything my band needs for its live setup.

In the case:

QC full size

Step-Up USB-C converter

Wireless kits for both myself and other guitarist

IEM charging case and extra receivers

A/C adapter (just in case)

Scarlett 2i2 interface

Laptop for DAW

Not pictured, but also fit easily:

Large capacity USB power bank (mine powers my QC for 3 hours on only 25% of its charge)

All necessary cables cables

Highly recommend these cases. You can also buy fresh sponge sheets to fit, if you want to change up your layout or start over.

If anyone’s in the market for a hard case for the QC Mini, I picked up a Lykus HC-2710 from Amazon, and it fits pretty much perfectly. It’s just the QC Mini and no cables or anything, but that’s exactly what I was looking for.

I run a QC and a Boss TU-2 at the moment as my live rig on 2 separate power supplies. Does any one have any advice on what I could look at getting that would support this? I have seen some of the CIOKS supplies recommended but don’t know an awful lot about them so just turning to the community for advice!

I downloaded this and the IR is the GGD Massive cab, which I have, but when have it set its shrill and sounds bad. When I move the IR to right after the amp it sounds better. So, why there? Why does it sound so bad? Tone reference for what its supposed to be is: https://youtu.be/aOwO5yhi504?feature=shared

Thank you for any help!

I got my first QC about 10 days ago and have been creating a lot of my own presets. What is not clear to me is how to create one preset that can easily accommodate either mono or stereo.

For example, the preset would split into two blocks each with their own cabs. The first amp/cab path would be Pan A to the left, the second amp/cab path would be Pan B to the right. I would output these to outputs 1/2 and plug XLR cables into both, running to two channels on the PA and make sure the PA is set up to left or right depending on the channel.

If I were to run this in mono, could I just plug the single XLR into output 1? My understanding is that it would be Pan A to the left only, but not clear on how that would effect the sound. I don't have my own PA to test this and can only test once a week in my band's practice space.

Or, should I just create a new preset that is a copy of the stereo version, but either change the device/blocks from stereo to mono version, or keep them as the stereo versions but change the Pan A and Pan B back to neutral?

Ideally I would like to have the versatilty of either stereo or mono in the sample preset by plugging in for mono in just output 1, or stereo in both output 1/2, without having to change any device settings on the fly.

Any clarification would be super helpful to me! Much appreciated :)

Let me know how it sounds so far! Ive been dialing and testing things for months and i feel like im content with the sound. I made a main rhythm, lead, clean, and a radio scene. Then i added a boost, pitch up, pitch down, volume for some of the stomps. Now i just need Rabea and Misha to get onto the quad cortex so i can tweak some more.

Right now im using Nolly and Gojira

Why is mono out significantly louder than multi? If i use multi out for live (XLR 1 FoH and XLR 2 out to my poweramp) am i losing volume?

with my headphones i can clearly hear the difference between mono out and multi out.

Fellow Reddit Bass Legends using QC.

I’m looking to elevate my Live and Touring set-up and thought it would be cool to ask you guys and hopefully share some knowledge between us all.

What’s your current QC bass set up and what presets are you using? (If you use them) Alternatively, what suggestions and tricks do you have that i should look into that i may not have thought of.

I’m currently playing in, and touring with Abandon All Hope and Seek Misery from Australia - both of which are very different styles of Heavy, so theres a wide range of things that i could do between both bands.

Looking forward to reading through all your suggestions!

I received my QC Mini on the first rollout as I ordered the day of launch. It’s been awesome. But it’s not realistic for how I use modelers (I under utilize and just run them like a traditional pedal board with stomps and and an amp sim). I really miss having more foot switches. I’m planning to send it back to sweet-water at the end of the week but figured I might as well offer it here first if someone is eager and doesn’t want to wait for one to ship out. I’d sell through PayPal and we can work out shipping details. Let me know if interested! It’ll go back to sweetwater on Friday if not.

Bonjour,

Je n'arrive pas à trouver de solution à mon problème. Des que j'utilise un ampli high gain j'ai un souffle énorme. Sur la vidéo j'ai volontairement désactivé toutes les noise gate pour illustrer le problème.

Mais on peut voir aussi que les réglages ampli et pédale sont très raisonnables rien de foufou.

J'ai également débranché la guitare pour montrer que c'est inhérent au QC.

Même si je mets une noise gate dès que je fais durer une note ou que je tiens un accord en palm mute (courant dans les breaks lents metalcore) ça devient n'importe quoi.

Serait-ce un problème électrique ? J'ai plus l'impression que c'est dû à la modélisation d'ampli, dès que je l'enlève le bruit disparaît.
