My old pal Blair Sinta and I had some fun writing and recording a track in the VH vein, and we tried to capture the right vibe, tones, and feel, with some help from Warm Audio gear!

It's one thing to pay Eddie's songs, but to play original material in his style is something truly rare & incredible. I would certainly buy your album, and I think many more would as well.

Seems like the WA12’s might have more color from the transformer. Sounded great but the API sounded a bit more open (more headroom). Awesome pre for sure and am looking forward to tossing one or two in my project studio. 🤘

@FukEmUp145 3 жыл бұрын

That intro was tasty - and a nice gesture to one of the greatest guitar players ever Some more demos of ProAudio gear would be a very cool thing. WarmAudio also makes a 1073 Preamp (double the price of the WA12, though), but there are more affordable ones like the GoldenAgePremier PRE-73 Maybe a little comparison between some of them (there are many others out there) would be nice and helpful to many of us, combined with some Mics - also briefly on vocals and/or drums? I know that this is a guitar-related channel, but your demos just sound the best, are very well explained, very musical and "realistic" I don´t mean the above suggestion as a shootout, more of a "what different kinds of preamps sound like with different kinds of microphones on guitar (and maybe vocals? :D )" since that stuff is not thaaat cheap and maybe that would help a lot of people and i drank way too much tequila anyway, cheers and stay healthy!

Solo'd I think the APIs had a bit more clarity and punch but it was subtle. In this mix, the original track with the Warm audio pres sounded absolutely killer. I have no doubt the differences would all but disappear in dense mix like that to all but the most discerning listeners. It also has a lot to do with the great mics, amps, guitars and of course the amazing playing. The source makes all the difference.

If anyone is wondering if the WA12mk2 is worth it, yes it is. If you can't afford an API or don't want to go the 500 series format, get the WA12mk2 and also mod it with a CAPI gar2520 opamp that will take it over the top and it is easy as pulling the stock opamp and inserting the CAPI one. Rock on guys

I have a little Audient iD14 interface. Supposed to be very good mic pres from their big console and the DAC is the good stuff etc. It requires a power source to run the mic pres, i.e., more than it can get from the USB. I have wondered if running my load box into a dedicated mic pre and then into my interface would make much difference, considering that the mic pres in the interface are shooting to be better than your average ones. Wadda ya think? Cheers.

@harleyhexxe9806 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Pete! Great demo! I know I'm seeing this a little late and all, but I have to ask a question or two here. These preamps are both identical, just in different application formats if I'm not mistaken, is that right? The other question was this: How are you running these into your DAW? Are they going through the front inputs of your interface, or are they connected as inserts from your DAW? My sales engineer at Sweetwater is recommending these pre-amps to me. Thanks for posting. A great guitar tone to be sure.

Never overlook the mix engineer's input AT MIX. You can get Eddie and Alex's sounds exactly as they were in the studio with the exact same equipment, mix it all together and you're nowhere close to sounding like them. Summing amps are insanely important as well as how you use them. You don't just drop everything into a summing amp and it spits out magic. You split tracks into sub groups of low, mid and high and process them separately before summing them again (whether in a dedicated summing amp or not, usually NOT, just back to the board for whatever opamp to handle). Ever wondered how Eddie's low end was in super tight with the bass and Alex's toms yet in clusterfk parts of the song - places any other band would sound like mush - he's SOMEHOW riding right on top of it, even his signal seems to be triggering the compression elsewhere in the track while the low end of his signal never steps away from the rest of the band? Now you know. Again, you can do EVERYTHING perfectly but if you leave out how the individual channels were summed AT MIX - you're in Nova Scotia, not southern California.
