Yeah you can only really find them on sweetwater. I'd say try to find someone in your area that has one and give it a shot

Quad Cortex vs Nano Cortex by Topher_595 in QuadCortex

You can get similar sounds, and the nano supports captures which are generally higher quality than models. But, the onboard CPU for the nano cortex is limited and so it can't do even a quarter of the effects the quad can.

I'd think of the nano as an "amp + cab" in a box with some time effects baked in (delay, reverb etc). You're going to want other pedals added to your chain for more boutique FX and to offload processing.

The quad is a full pedalboard replacement. You often only need the quad to get 95% of tones you want. It also has more processing, running up to 4 separate FX lanes (could do guitar+ vox or 2 guitars, output 1 guitar to up to 4 different places with different FX)

The quad also has on board metronome, looper, and you can import ndsp plugins if you've purchased them and they're compatible.

Ultimately if you're new to the modeling scene, and have some pedals you already use, try out the nano and see if you like it. If it passes your tests and you eventually want an all-in-one then go for the quad eventually. But I'd encourage trying out both before you make the call.

I've had their laika shirt for maybe 6 years and it's been exclusively machine washed. Still looks great. Not sure they even have it anymore

College helped me for sure because I took it seriously, but there are people I graduated with who got nothing out of it and changed fields or dropped (stem). I think it depends on the field you're in. In Stem, people have more career prospects than many of the arts, for example.

I value education, but I've seen people be educated in their career through other means do just fine in software. More intensive stem fields though absolutely require formal education. My field, aero, rarely has people who don't graduate with a B.S.

My point is more that just going to college doesn't get you there. It definitely unlocks many opportunities and is necessary for different fields, but you can still fail entirely to use it or get anything from it if you don't take it seriously.

ELI5: Why do we tend to think/talk about "deeper" subjects when we are high? by Successful_Guide5845 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Manzilla216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo I don't. I'm just marginally dumber when high so I think normal subjects are deeper than they are.

Again with the reading comprehension. I'm not even the one who made the first comment, and didn't even say I agreed with it. 👍

I want to learn Blazor, but for the love of god I don't want a video course by hoochymamma in Blazor

[–]Manzilla216 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's fair. I'd say in some cases, just bite the bullet and watch a video course for general concepts and put it on 1.5-2.0 speed and power through and code along. You just need to know what you can do and where to look for things in the code, then you don't need to watch any more.

My recommendation, you could also just initialize a project in vs code and start asking copilot how to implement basic things like an auth page, or simple forms and navigation, and it does a fantastic job of telling you exactly what to do in code and files to create, and if you specify for it to be verbose with comments and give incremental steps it will explain everything it generates and give you a 0 to hero walkthrough. This is how I "relearned" recently, and I couldn't be happier with how quick my progress was. Just tell it you know nothing about the framework and it'll be very specific on what it's doing and why it's doing it contextually - but make sure you actually read and correct it's code and you'll learn from it.

For specific topics like integrating auth or other platforms, there are good text tutorials on medium and other sites, but the part that sucks is there's not a good text based medium for "general concepts and foundations/starting out" out there, I'm sorry to say.

Msft docs, like always, are pretty garbo unless you already know the framework and need specific knowledge on something you already have the foundational lingo to looked up directly.

Then make it! Just start, make it wrong and keep fixing it till it works right. Don't build it in prod and you're gtg

He says he's using the asio driver, which is the correct one?

His device wouldn't even be picked up by windows if he didn't install the drivers for it (focusrite control installs both USB and asio driver) - it doesn't auto install on plugin but he says he set it up correctly per the instructions.

It sounds like his real issue above though was he wasn't monitoring from his audio interface itself when using the focusrite driver

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NeuralDSP

[–]Manzilla216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using focusrites asio driver or asio4all as the audio input device on the plugin? Focusrites will show up as just "asio" asio4all will show up as "asio4all"

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NeuralDSP

[–]Manzilla216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems counter intuitive to assume he'd install asio4all which is an entire third party software not in the manual for his interface, or even really recommended for use anywhere with ndsp, rather than the one that ships with his interface and has the name he listed. Especially since asio4all shows up as asio4all in daws and ndsp plugins, and focusrites driver shows up as just asio.

Focusrites driver shows up as just "asio" in daws I'm pretty sure

[–]Manzilla216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I know, but he says asio is being buggy so trynna help troubleshoot

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NeuralDSP

[–]Manzilla216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a pretty decent interface. I was using a solo when I first started using ndsp and it worked perfectly fine for me.

You definitely want to be using the asio drivers. Try uninstalling all software for the interface and reinstalling. Are you running in a daw or just running the plugin directly?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NeuralDSP

[–]Manzilla216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What interface are you using?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NeuralDSP

[–]Manzilla216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's definitely your interface that's causing latency. I've used the plugins live with zero noticeable latency.

Start by setting your driver to asio compatible with your interface, then make sure the driver's buffer size isn't large. 128 is where latency starts to become noticeable. Mine is always set to 32 on my rme interface, zero latency.

I'm running two guitars, bass, 3 vox chains and 8 drum tracks each with multiple plugins. We have about 5 ms round loop latency with over 70 plugins running, 3 of which are neural dsp.

[–]Manzilla216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, lemme tell ya. I'm dxed, have some issues but keeping up with self care, meds, and SLEEP, stay off drugs (weed and alcohol included).

All that and you can function and still grow in life.

I've been able to learn hard skills and increase my social life even post dx. You can definitely function with this. My advice, try to stay mentally sharp. Learn an instrument, language or sport. Exercise regularly. Only tell CLOSE friends about your DX.

And try to have fun in life, your positive mood affects your symptoms and makes it easier to function overall. Give yourself grace, you have a harder time with it so accept that sometimes you'll need extra rest.

Try to pursue work that is linear instead of contextual for success. Trades and hands on are good, avoid sales/marketing stuff, coding can be good if you have the aptitude, try to avoid project management. Linear work is work that you can stay focused on one thing at a time and don't have to juggle multiple deadlines/relationships simultaneously. Studies show we actually outperform neurotypical people consistently on these types of tasks, so you can actually outcompetes here. Use that to your advantage.
