The 'others do it too' argument always amuses me. Honest discussion is valuable, that's one of the reasons some forums thrive. This is the Fractal Audio Systems forum so it stands to reason there would be an expectation that only FAS related topics would be discussed.
Really? You just contradicted yourself. The Lounge is listed as being "off topic". That always amuses me when people contradict themselves.
It’s the self-appointed moderators that make me laugh.
So, your perception has to be everyone else’s reality? If you’re not interested in a topic, how about you simply move on instead of trying to dictate to others what/how you think things should be and let them be what they are?
Hey, we all get the GAS sometimes...squirrel!!! I opened this thread in all sincerity b/c not long after I bought my FM3 (at this point I was totally new to Fractal) I became aware of the QC and I was second guessing myself like crazy. Now I'm in a good place though. I'm honestly just curious of what's up with QC and if it will ever fully develop.
They seem to be backing Kemper into a corner - if I was into profiling I'd definitely be swapping the toaster - not sure if Kemper's got a defense play.
Not even with that logo on it. The Ultra was better then the Standard. The II XL+ was better then the II mk.1. The ultimate version of the III will be better then the first model too. Not by that much of course, but it will still be better. And probably cheaper too. Let the early adopters go all crazy over the first model, I'll get the ultimate version when its cheaper.Never buy the first model year of anything...
...unless, of course, it has this logo on it:
Especially when there's hype afoot. It's like with movie trailers. If the trailer is too long, avoid. If the trailer is more about the soundtrack then the title, avoid. If the trailer says "If you loved <>, you're going to love <__>".
This argument always cracks me up especially where you see huge touring acts with stickers on the amp settings.... how many people go crazy tweaking their amps? And it’s not like the eq on these units destroy the sound
Speak for yourself I still use the ultra
I like it more than the ii but I love the iii
You're missing my point. I use different settings for different guitars, etc. Even if I had amps to capture, I would not be interested in spending hours making various captures to get the sounds I'm looking for. I'm sure capture is a cool feature, but it's not one that I personally need or care about.This argument always cracks me up especially where you see huge touring acts with stickers on the amp settings.... how many people go crazy tweaking their amps?

+1 - not knocking profiling as it's a pretty cool feature for those with access to desired gear not modelled anywhere, but, for me (mostly modeller based), I don't see a use case for going thru the process of profiling gear settings with limited post tweakability when I have tweeakable / moddable full function virtual replicas I can save to presets or add modifiers to for real time adjustments.
Actual live shots or it's all just marketing. Plini, Intervals, a lot of people in that world are/were the core of the NeuralDSP QC hype train that was present before whole lockdown and every tour was cancelled.Do I want to check one out, yea eventually hell I like to check out gear like anyone else. I will wait till there really available though and have had some more updates.
It also seems like Kiko is using them for the new Megadeth Tour, and if im not mistaken Arron Marshall is also using it for Intervals tour as well.
