@@ColtCapperrune Hi Colt, love your channel, love your videos!!! I was wondering if you might be able to answer a question I’ve been mulling over…. I’m mostly working in the box, but I’m looking to get one analogue processor to help give my mixes/masters that “analogue vibe/sound”. I watch lots of your videos, and I see that here you recommend to get two mic pre’s as a first outboard hardware component. I happen to have one golden age pre73 neve clone pre that works well… I could buy another one and run all my mixes/masters through them both as you mention on this video. I also just came into some extra money, and I could buy an SSL fusion instead. Which of those options would you recommend for getting that nice round, fatness and dynamics? Would two mic press give the kindof coloration and fatness/dynamics that the SSL would? My mixes/masters are sounding good but after watching multiple sound tests on KZfaq etc, I’ve decided I need to make the leap out of the box just for one item (for now). Any thoughts?
@Gabeconstantinemusic Жыл бұрын
I guess I could get another golden age pre-73 and do what you’re saying, and then add maybe a dbx 560A compact compressor/limiter, but or I could just get the fusion… it’s been a tough decision

first thing i got was a nice pair of neve style preamps w eq, and a stereo linkable pair of those black lion "17" 1176's (with hpf and a mix control so good for running tracks through) my next thing is a saturator like the Drawmer multiband saturator or the overstayer. had a pair of seventh circle audio pres and adbx 160x as well so very minimal setup but im really happy with my results so far. A good pair of pres/comps goes a very long way, pretty much covers all your needs except drums, and you can run drum tracks through after for mixing if you want. My main issue is traffic jams: it's a pain setting up and taking stuff down when you don't have enough channels to just have everything miked up and ready to rock like we did in the old studio.

Once I did that tracking and mixing became a lot more fun and easier. It was inspiring to hear what I wanted and how I heard and felt things in the room. An A Designs Pacifica into a pair of Neve 551s, Serpent Splice 1176s, and Neve 542s for tape saturation all summed into a single pultec 500x can’t be beat imho. Tracking through that chain is a joy. For mixing a kayahan solid 4000 with some uad plugins super lovely too. Console saturation from the kayahan is amazing couldn’t be happier. That said I’ve been eyeing a sb4001 for awhile now. This video got me thinking about it again.

I use to use hardware on my mix bus and even a couple outboard compressors but I am seeing more and more top producers mixing and mastering with straight plugins on top records. Either way it will all sound good. I guess it depends on workflow and the fact can anyone really tell the difference in a mix between hardware verse plugins.

Thanks for the video, its really helpful as I'm thinking to integrate more outboard gear. What I've seen in many videos and don't understand though, is why do you have to choose either to use outboard for tracking or mixing at a single spot? Could you just not use a pair of preamps for tracking to your DAW, then send the recorded tracks through your outboard compressor, then use that same pair of pres that you used for tracking on your mixbus and finally use that same compressor as a mixbus compressor. I mean since we're in a DAW ultimately and have an infinite number of tracks basically, we can always save that one track that just went through outboard and continue working and reuse that same outboard at another spot. Why isn't anybody recommending that? What am I missing?
@Mikeys2Much Жыл бұрын
Acoustic treatment is the first piece of gear that you focus on. Failure to treat acoustic treatment like hardware will cause headaches in the long run. If you're on a budget a stereo channel strip. Preferably API, SSL,RND. Or equivalent. Clone's You will cover pre, eqs and compression. Colt great job keep up the good work. Just my two cents.

Hey Colt, we are much the same in our process, I’m in the cycle right now and torn between a few things. Heres a big one though, and something I see lacking in your rig. Digital reverb, I think you’d be suprised what a quality hardware unit brings to the table. I was using a Bricasti and comparing to the Seventh Heaven plugin. The difference is very significant. 7th heaven sounds great, but the Bricasti is similar but also very different. Hardware reverb can give a sense of space without hearing an obvious tail. Or rather…the plugin seems to be very obvious without actually making the source larger, the Bricasti seems non-existent, but the source seems bigger. Its not just stupid expensive reverbs either. The Lexicon MPX1s are practically free at the moment, I got one for £150.00 just to see if it was worth getting into used hardware, its not a Bricasti, but it beats any of my plugins for naturalism and adding life. I predict used hardware reverbs surging in value as engineers rediscover what they can do.

Wouldn’t running/printing a mic preamp through your tracks or your mixbus introduce a lot of extra unwanted noise once you start bringing up the output volume? I can’t know for sure, because I don’t have one but I’d imagine that a decent saturator in combo with a good mixbus compressor or a channel strip would give that wanted analogue vibe as instead without the noise? Maybe I’m wrong, I’m definitely not an expert. More curious than anything else

Preamps are color boxes. If you're mixing through a preamp its going to be an outboard preamp separate from your interface. Your interface preamps are incredibly clean and sterile which is what they're supposed to be. Mixing through an API or Neve style (among others) adds a bunch of harmonic content and saturation. Your built in interface preamps can't do that.

His CAPI preamps don't have a line input (Which I'm pretty sure of, but I could be wrong.) Either way XLR Mic Level and Line Level is totally acceptable for inserting on tracks.
