Empty beer cans!

A presonus studio192 and a presonus 8 channel pre. All the color is added in the mix..

In essence, all digital. Using a Behringer X32 with an S16 extension as the audio interface, and running mainly my guitar rig into it (a Helix Rack, a POD Pro xt, an HX Stomp and a BIAS Rack, plus a DI - of course I have more obscure stuff I can reamp through) plus some vocal mics. I also have three V30 1x12s miced up with SM57s all the time, powered from 90W pedalboard power amps, though I will eventually be powering them with a triple 20W 6V6 push-pull tube power amp of my own making once that is done and tested. Other than that, no outboard gear (not counting MIDI controllers, of course). Since the X32 and all the guitar stuff lives in a rack, there actually is literally nothing on my desk except for MIDI controllers. However, I'm in the process of moving into a new apartment I just bought this week, and the new studio there will be greatly expanded in some key areas. First of all, this will be a multi-computer setup, focusing mostly on Samples and MIDI, and the DAW will be beefed up with a secondary PC running some OSC touchscreen remote control stuff for the DAW, so I will have to touch that as little as possible. This will be in a multi-room config, meaning that all the noisy stuff will live in a compartment in the attic, that includes machines and guitar speakers - I expect the control room to be ultimately not even having a single fan blowing in it.

I'm using Antelope Goliath HD ,some Manley Pres and Manley compressors.

Nothing yet.

Totally agree, sounds fantastic. Thanks!

@@AndrewMasters I did the same thing with the GA Pre73 MKIII/EQ81 MKII's, 2 of each one with a COMP-3A and one with a COMP-2A, also have 2 of the Comp54 MKII's. I run a pretty well built hybrid system I built from cheaper pieces first then added affordable but quality pieces. I have 4 ART TPS II pre-amps, i used them a ton in a studio I worked in and you cant beat them for the price. As far as my console (in the box), I use a softtube Console One and Fader One for Logic Pro X and a mix of softube, TC Electronics and Waves plugins, with a Behringer X touch for my main logic workflow. I run directly through my DI, use plugins as needed if needed, but sparingly, I run out to a Studio Master (analog console) 16-4-2 Series 5 mixing desk, and whatever outboard gear I want to insert at that point and into a TEAC A-2300sx, then back into the box for final mix and then for mastering, ill keep the masters digital if no analog mastering is necessary. I really love that desk you have Andrew. That has been my bane, for the limited space I have and the kit, two amps, two extension cabs, 4 interfaces/synths, many guitars and basses, mics, stands, cables etc. Footprint is everything, and my current desk has a side car with 12u rack, filled, and another 4 u rack on top of it filled. Plusthe 2u's on my desk and another 6 on the other side. I need a desk like yours! \

Thanks GG!

Glad you enjoy it!

Thanks !!

Thanks!

Thanks mike!

Thanks!

Thanks! Pumped for you to have them in your setup. A game changer for me. Also pumped for the membership. There’s a lot of copyright hurdles with KZfaq that I can completely bypass with the membership.

Appreciate it!

Right? Looks so slick now. Also made the desk more functional freeing up some space for my midi keyboard.

Thanks!

Appreciate it!

Thanks dude

Thanks!

Check out the video titled what’s in my desk

Watching shark dog right now with my kid!

I like it because you can play with different Pres that all have a different flavor. In this case he went with all Neve style but throwing down a WA-412 or whatever instead of the 73s and you could have any range of Pres that fit your needs.

what lens is he using

Thank you

It's required to get the right performance.

Thanks you! Good luck with the studio.

Just need a little more width in the room! haha

Thanks!

Tracking is more fun!

woah that was heavy

@@AndrewMasters for real though this sounds huge. Great work

Dude I know. I replaced it, because mine was a little bent. The new one was even longer haha. Looks so dumb.

Thanks broski

yeah, in fact, it's better. Cheaper and more serviceable. Add a summing mixer if you miss that.

@@samurai1993 sure but a console is usually so much more than just a bucket of preamps.

Thanks!

One of fob greatest songs

I would be happy to upload audio files of my comparison to Google drive if enough people are interested

@@lancetownsend6226 I know I’m interested. This is not to knock the video or the creator. I think Warm has great prices but I think they sound like their prices, inexpensive. I’ve worked with a few pieces and each time found them underwhelming. I haven’t tried these 1073’s tbh but I do own the Neve 1073DPA and it sounds insane. I’d love to compare the two myself. I think Warm could be good as an intermediary on your way to owning the great stuff but I think you’re better off waiting and saving up for something better. Oh and the stock BF76 (and stock Sansamp) are slept on plug-ins. That compressor sounds great working hard on aggressive vocals.

@@ilikemyrealname rereading my original comment it definitely doesn't have the same message as I intended, i also failed to mention that in the same time frame I borrowed a WA-2A from my school (where I did these tests) and compared it to a vintage LA-2A we have in the same room. The WA-2A sounded MUCH better than my WA-76 and was much closer to the unit it's modeled after. Out of curiosity, I've shown many of my teachers some of the recordings I got that night. The more people I talk to, the more I'm convinced my unit could potentially be defective which is unfortunate. With a 4:1 ratio the WA-76 sounded very comparable to the 11-76-LN, closer in relationship to the 2A comparison I mentioned. But the higher the ratio, the worse it got. With an all buttons in comparison, the signal that came out of the WA-76 was actually worse than the original signal I am away from my computer at the moment but I'll upload the 4:1 comparisons and the all buttons in comparison to Google drive in the morning and reply to this comment

@@lancetownsend6226 I’m confused. What was your message then?

@@ilikemyrealname I just meant that I unintentionally was trashing warm audio as a whole when in reality it was just my experience with one warm audio unit
