Introducing SoundCheck™: Full Creative Control Anytime, Anywhere.

​Hello, everybody! We are very excited to announce the latest advancement in our NEURO 3 effects editing and sharing software. It’s called “SoundCheck,” and it is a groundbreaking new technology that allows anyone - using only a phone or desktop computer - to instantly hear stereo sound samples from any of the over 10,000 Factory and Community presets currently published in NEURO. Imagine that… you can now access the full power of NEURO without plugging in a guitar, amplifier, or even a pedal!

SoundCheck features a comprehensive collection of unaffected, pre-recorded guitar, bass, and keyboard sound clips. Each clip can be played through any preset in NEURO’s growing library. Using just a mobile device or desktop computer, users can simply select a preset, choose a sound clip, and instantly hear it processed through the preset. In real-time SoundCheck matches the preset’s exact parameter settings, emulating the precise tones of the corresponding Source Audio pedal. Of course, the audio playback is tremendous, we included a finely tuned impulse response (IR) that perfectly emulates the sound of a Source Audio pedal running through a stereo pair of real guitar or bass amplifiers.

​SoundCheck also allows you to make parameter adjustments in NEURO’s effects editor and immediately hear the results using the pre-recorded guitar clips. Once you’ve perfectly tweaked your preset, it can be saved to your personal, cloud-based library or shared with the NEURO community. And of course, any preset saved to NEURO can be easily uploaded to its corresponding Source Audio pedal.
 
SoundCheck is the culmination of a dream that Roger Smith (Source Audio’s owner and CEO) has had for a long, long time. He said, “Years ago, we envisioned a technology that would let musicians instantly and fully experience the sound of our pedals, without being delayed by the logistics of having a guitar and amp. With SoundCheck, we’ve eliminated those logistics, empowering anyone, anywhere, to immediately access the precise tones of any Source Audio pedal or preset. I’m incredibly proud of the innovations we’ve brought to the pedal world over the past 20 years, but transforming how musicians explore and evaluate sounds is truly one of our most exciting and groundbreaking achievements.”

​But wait, there’s more. We’ve also added a new feature in NEURO called Guest Mode. Guest Mode gives anyone who has downloaded the app the ability to quickly access a selection of NEURO features without creating a personal account or signing in to an existing one. Features accessible in Guest Mode include listening to pedal presets in SoundCheck, downloading presets to pedals, and editing presets with the NEURO editor. Access to advanced interactive features, such as saving presets to a personal library, creating a personal account with social media links, or interacting with preset listings by liking or leaving comments requires the user to create an account.

​We can’t wait to hear what you think of SoundCheck. Our hope is that this fun new feature will make it easier than ever to create, share, and explore the many, many sound options available in Source Audio pedals. We also hope that it opens a new line of communication between musicians, a place where all of you can exchange ideas and find artistic inspiration. We highly encourage all of you to start exploring the full power and keep in touch with each other through the preset Comments sections. We at Source Audio will certainly be monitoring the Comments sections and doing all we can to answer questions and stay in touch with you, the amazing NEURO Community.
