hey everyone so today i'm gonna do a

quick video on how you can use the

neural dsp quad cortex to reamp

your guitar or bass tracks it's it's

pretty darn easy even i can do it but

hey i want to show you uh how

you do it anyways because someone might

wonder

so this one is for you who might wonder

this

so the first thing that you need to make

sure is that

the neural dsp quad cortex is your audio

interface

so in logic you go to preferences and

you click on audio and you make sure

that

the quad cortex is both the output

and input device the track that we're

gonna reamp today

is the one that i posted on sunday

it's the sunday with ola rift challenge

number 47.

it was a bit of a you know old school

swedish death metal

type tune

i quad tracked the guitars uh for this

track

and i used the quad cortex to reamp two

of those

which featured an hm2 based

preset which gives you that nice and the

gritty swedish

death metal type tone and

the other two tracks were uh done using

the 14

nts plugin here in logic also from

neural dsp i might add

however now i want to reamp uh through

the quad cortex instead i've got a

chug preset loaded up um

and well let's get to it so first things

first

let's select the two tracks that we're

going to reamp and now

let's go into the mixer because that's

easier

here where it says output let's go to

output and let's

select output five and six

so there we go and let's solo these two

tracks as well

now we're gonna add a third track so

uh here when you're adding the tracker

logic

select input seven and eight which

corresponds to the output on the quad

cortex so on the quad cortex

the preset has got usb 5 and 6

as the input and usb 7 and 8

as the output and

lo and behold we now have

a third track loaded here so

uh let's get to the reamping

so in order to reamp this you simply hit

record and it it all starts um

to monitor this i've got a bit of a

tricky setup going

i mainly use my ssl two plus from solid

state logic when i'm

tracking and mixing and whatnot and

that's the interface that my monitors

are hooked up to

and i don't wanna go in there and you

know unplug everything and plug in the

cortex and you know

make a mess so uh a nice thing about

the ssl two plus and i know the

focusrite the newer focusrite

stuff has this as well is that you got a

mix knob so you can actually select

if you want to hear the processed signal

that comes

through the ssl2 plus and your daw or

the input signal so now i've got it set

for 100

mixed for the input which will allow me

to hear

what is going on through the cortex

because the quad cortex is plugged into

channel uh one and two as well i'm gonna

do some separate filming of this so you

can actually see what's going on

okay so if you're like me and you wanna

actually

monitor what you're reamping but you're

using

a different audio interface to track

your guitars here's what you

can do this of course requires that you

got

this kind of knob here the the

the one which selects the monitor uh

the input source or what have you so

from the neural dsp quad cortex i'm

running two xlr cables

which are going into channel one and

channel two of the ssl two plus

like so left right and

in order to monitor uh what i'm reamping

i simply turn this knob all the way to

input

and that way i can actually hear what's

going on

because like i said this audio interface

is the one

that is hooked up to my kali monitors

and not the quad cortex so that saves me

a bit of a hassle in terms of you know

plugging

and unplugging everything when i want to

do stuff like that so

yeah hopefully that was helpful to you

back to the show

so with that being said let's get to

some

chugging so let's hit the record and

here we go

it's being reamped

through the quad cortex right now

which is nice and now i can also adjust

you know

parameters in real time this is actually

pretty useful if you're uh

tweaking out your tone this is actually

a pretty nifty trick if you're

doing some tone chasing and you know you

don't wanna

go between playing your guitar and

tweaking the tones

start up a reamp loop and start

tweaking while the computer does the

playing

that's a great trick

like i said this is really easy to set

up

you make sure that the output of the

tracks that you want to reamp

are set for usb 5 and 6

and that the input of the ream signal is

set for seven

and eight and there you go it's not more

it's not more complicated than that i

want to try something now i'm gonna

delete

that track and i'm gonna do like this so

i'm gonna change the output to moto

and to output five on the

left tracks and on output

or the the shark's two i'm gonna set the

output

for output

six and now i'm going to go to a

different preset

and in this preset i've got two single

paths going

the first one has usb5 as the input

source and

usb7 as the output size size source

and the second row has usb6

as the input source and usb8 as

the output source so in theory now

we should be able to reamp both of these

guitars in one go so let's

have a go at with that let's add two

tracks

and yeah let's let's have it saying like

that for now

there we go so here we go we have two

tracks here let's dub this one

shugs one and make sure

that the input is not stereo

and we got input seven there good and

let's name this one

sharks 2 and change it to moto

and change the input to 8

and let's arm these two tracks for

reamping

and let's go i have no idea if this will

work

it probably will work but i don't know

let's try this here we go

i'm not hearing any sound right now but

i can see that

the signals are being processed so

that's good

um not sure why i can't hear anything

but as you can see they are getting

some things going there i'm gonna try

and change

the okay so yeah there

they are definitely uh going through the

two different

lanes here uh i i will

i'd probably be able to figure out why

there is

a way where there's no sound right now

but

hey it works or so it seems yeah

it looks it looks good okay so now we

got these two tracks

reamped let's see if we can have a

listened now listen

no let's pound this one all the way left

and all this one all the way right

and yep

that works like a charm uh as you

probably can tell

these tracks are in mono now and not in

stereo

like you get when you do a single track

reamped through usb 7 and 8 but

hey it's metal guitars you don't need

some

white cool stereo image right jokes

aside

this works really really well and for

rhythm guitars

i don't see the need for having stereo

tracks

um however if you're doing like epic

leads

and stuff like that i can see why you

would want

a nice and wide stereo track with the

delay and the

reverb and everything but yeah this

worked

really really well it was really easy to

set up

like i said load the tracks that you

want to reamp

and solo them make

sure that they're uh set for the correct

usb output that they're set for output

five and six

and that the input block of your

signal path is set for usb56

on the quad cortex add

a new track and make sure that it's got

the corresponding input with the output

of the quad cortex

so there you have it this is reamping uh

metal tracks through the neural usb quad

cortex

so hopefully this was informative and

useful

to you in some way make sure to hit that

subscribe button and ring that bell

and all of that good stuff and i'll see

you guys and gals and cats and dogs

in the next video until next time take

care bye

that i got work to do
