Those Tama drums are not middle of the road at all! Those are some premium drums, and he make them sound great!

Wicked sounding units for sure!

Thank you so much! =)

Thanks so much! =)

I’ll be releasing music on streaming services in the future. :)

Interesting observation! I persoanlly loved singing into this device. The compression felt great to have in the performances. I really enjoy seeing everyones take on the gear, thank you for your input! =)

Thanks for your input! :)

I’ll do what I can! :)

That is a huge compliment, thank you so much! =)

It’s hard to say what would be the right choice, or what would be more exciting to for you. For me personally I tend to lean on microphones and instruments for colour primarily, then the pre I choose highlights that flavour.

Once I try the ID44, ill let you know. =)

I like that we have the option to buy the units themselves, or in the qube format. =)

Uh Yeah no….Do you really think that Elysia wants to get into the power supply business when Rupert Neve already makes a solid super powerful chassis. ITs a distraction to Elysia, but they must believe they need some kind of special power needs

You can buy the Skulpter units as EITHER 500 series for $899 each, or a pair inside of one these Elysia Qubes for for $1949. Same units. So, in effect, the Qube is a 500 series chassis. @@snoopywalker1881

I would reacg out to some other voice over artists and ask them what they think in this department. I would assume a relatively clean mic pre, clean Pre and comp, with a very well treated room would be a pretty solid start.

Thanks for your input! :)

It will! :)

@@alecbrits Danke Alec

@@alecbrits Keep going!

I have owned many preamps and have all Rupert Neve, Maag, Api, Cranbourne, ect. Mic preamps are overrated, but yes they are important. The EQ and Compressor I prefer no tracking eq and a 1176 or La2a compressor after the preamp, but not required. My 2 cents is get a phenomenal mic first, and a good interface if you don’t already. Lastly if you are recording Room treatment is unflashy, but trumps everything in recording. Between the two you mentioned, I prefer the shelford channel with the input and output transformers, but either is high end and will yield great results

I tend agree with you there Brian! =)

@@BrianSladek Right now I am using a RME UFX III the the Lauten Atlantis mic. I do have a old Demeter Tube Mic pre-amp VTMP-2a and thought getting one of these fancy Neve Newtons so I can use it for tracking and use the unit as an insert on certain things. I have the new AS78 from Audioscape which is very much an 1178. Thoughts?

@@braxal6983 Nice! My recommendations is definitely another mic could help, but depends on your focus. RME has great preamps, yet if your after the Rupert Neve sound and don’t have any solid state Neve transformer type pres or outboard gear than a you will enjoy the neuton or shelford since they are different from your current setup. If you record a lot of instruments and some vocals, I wouldn’t get this and focus on individual pieces as you will inevitably prefer different mic/pre/ect chains on different things. If you do mostly vocals or minimal instruments I think you’ll love either strip. I am partial to the shelford. A lot of pro mix engineers mixing in the box are getting tracks that are recorded through an excellent channel strip, but if you don’t know what you are doing you can ruin a recording as it is baked in. Best of luck! We are all on our own audio obsessive journey’s and don’t be afraid to return something if you don’t like it or spend all of your savings either would be my biggest suggestions :)

@@BrianSladek I very much appreciate your input. I just want to have the very best I can get for the money. If you think I would be happy with the Newton I can go that way. The price range is up my alley considering all the other large ticket Items I have already purchased. I will be using it for vocals and acoustic guitars. If you have any other suggestions please let me know. I value your opinion.

Thanks so much. :) not sure what your product is.

@@alecbritsOh! The product is our budget microphones K669 Dynamic Mic and K669 Condenser Mic, I can send you the details of them if you don't mind leaving your email to me.

Thank you! =)

Sounds like a wicked combo to me! =)
