THE RECORD IS HAPPENING!! You should have like 12x the subscribers you do now, dude. This is one of your best tunes yet. Also I totally get what you're saying about the uniqueness of this pre. It tonality sounds a lot more like the era of pop from like mid-70s to early-90s. Soft, mid and high focused, easy to work with across multiple sources. Seems like a great 4 or 8 of in a rack!

I think you and I have similar tastes and think alike. The preamp is a little different from the pack like you said which is something I've been keeping an ear out for as well. And it sounds, kind of like warm tape. Not so bright and a little mid recessed. Fantastic. I think I might jump on this one. Thanks for pointing it out. I too have been perving the Studer consoles but we have a console so it would be a little redundant. Nice track as always. Cheers.

Would love to see you do something like the API 3122v and how it would sound on your more "sumptuous" songs. Equipment like this seems to fall in line with your sound. But I'm sure you would still make the API sound amazing but would be interesting to hear you through a more "upfront" sounding pre.
@alecbrits Жыл бұрын
I adore the API Stuff. I’ve actually reviewed the 512. :) if I could have a console full of them I would. I think mic choice affects the tone far more than mic pre does personally.

Awesome music as always! How do you like this preamp against de WAMPX? I’m thinking about switching to the 500 series and this seems like a very characterful pre. Thanks!!
@alecbrits11 ай бұрын
Hard to compare as one is solid state, and the other is valve. :) I would say this pre has a very specific tone, both when driven and not. The WAMPX feels like it has a massive headroom that I really enjoy. The WAMPX is a little more bright and forward sounding. This pre is a little less forward but also a little more signature. :)

@@alecbrits interesting! Somehow I thought that valves were less versatile. Maybe is because they are more standardized (?). I don’t know. I need to try the Hlabs anyway 😎 Thanks for your insight
