The number one thing I’ve realized after touring is “less is more.”<br>Less gain/distortion, less complexity and failure points. Travel light, travel simple. When something inevitably goes wrong, it’s easier to troubleshoot and get back to what is important - the music and the show.

I love how manic you look when you said you’ve come back 3 days later haha<br><br>But for real you explained it beautifully and easily. Thanks for all the knowledge and tips!

Is the Granny Fire capture you are using by chance the infamous Mike Stringer Granophyre capture? Because I managed to get it before he deleted it and it's easily one of the best Granophyre captures that existed on the cloud. Such a shame Mike deleted everything.

Is there a chance you would share/sell all those scenes for QC owners ? 😊

This video is genuinely such a game changer, every other video trying to explain the routing on the cortex is pure nerd speak so thank you for taking the 3 day intermission to explain it to pea brain people like myself 😂❤

Very smart to mute at the cab block so the delay and reverb tails over! Never thought of that 👌🏻

It would be awesome if someday you made a video giving tips for local bands who are just starting out. It would help knowing what things bands should look out for and expect other than the generic “write good songs and play shows”. Plus it would be cool to hear your own experiences!

This is amazing! Could you do another video explaining how bands set up backing tracks and midi changes for live shows?

It’s because I’m probably on the spectrum but the clicking and popping for the cuts is making me want to torpedo into a volcano but your insight is so valuable
