That's a solid vocal chain. I have the WA 87 and in a shootout I can't tell the difference between it and the Neumann. Also, I have the WA 73, which is a 1073 replica and it is incredible. I'm in the process of purchasing a cL1b because I haven't found a replica for that except for the plug in. I currently go through my Avalon 737 or the cL1b plug in. Also, grabbing the WA 8000 which is the Sony C 800 g replica. If your pockets aren't as deep as some of these million dollar studios, then replicas can really get you there. Thanks for the content

@donrich3927 Жыл бұрын

I can hear the difference between all the gear wa 87 and u87, c800 and wa 800, the wa 73 and a 1073, too my ears their not very close. But they do sound good better than just an interface but maybe 1/5 th of the sound give or take. Gonna be missing lower mid body in all 3 and the mics a capsule high end bump that’s literally hiding unwanted cheap capsule peaks.

I was looking to get a U87i but I do not record vocals all the time, I have a Rode NT1 with a DBX 376 tube mic pre. Turn up the drive adjust the EQ, compressor and de-esser setting to taste and you have a pretty warm sounding vocal. Dont need it so warm, turn down the drive and add a bit more highs with the EQ. While the vocalist is "warming" up that is your cue to make input adjustments. Use that time wisely because its not good to stop a session to make adjustments.

Which Plug-Ins should I use after this Vocal Chain for a great result? I got the U87 going into the Apollo Twin X. In the Apollo Console I choose the the Neeve 1073 and the CL1B and record like that right? So I got the Future Vocal Chain. But that's not it right? What Plug-Ins do should I put on the vocals after recording them in my DAW? Sorry I'm just the rapper and just getting into mixing.

A very versatile, tried and true vox chain! This can work for most, if not, all genres; with different settings and adjustments, ofc. I worked at a studio that had mostly emu's of the hardware and got pretty close to the real thing..! I hope to own some real ones sometime in the future ✨

Hey Archie, have you ever heard a Vintage 1073 as compared to a 1073 SPX? I would love to see what you think. From my understanding the only difference is that The SPX uses the same circuit design, but with modern manufacturing techniques, including a combination of in-house SMT and hand assembly methods, and also includes many feature additions to keep the 1073 up-to-date with modern studio use. The comparison would be nice.

What does he use live? Well I’m glad you asked. Digico SD series (5,7,10,12), channel strip on the desk for basic shaping and compression, a neve 5045 run into an avalon 737, a d-two delay for delay throws, bricasti M7 for verb, a smart c2 for master bus compression, and various waves plug ins as well or sometimes as substitutes if the hardware mentioned earlier isn’t available. Not in order by the way. Ask me how I know.
