I think I appreciate it for it's coloration/distortion capabilities more than as a preamp, and for my workflow plugins work better for that.

Hey! How it’s going bro. Umm, right now I’m stuck between purchasing an spl iron or a stereo preamp such as: api or Neve for the mix bus to add some excitement warmth and clarity to mixes. My mixes are great. As far as mixbus I just use a elysia xpressor. Is it common to use a stereo preamp on mixbus or should I just go with the variable mu compressor.

@mixbustv 2 ай бұрын

That's an odd "this or that" if you need a compressor preamps won't do it.. the iron is a pretty clean compressor btw. Not really a mojo one. Preamps sre for microphones if you ask me, I've never liked the trend of running mixes thru pres, makes no sense to me when we have dedicated color boxes that do that much better (HG-2 being one if you want tubes). Mojo compressors would be Stamchild 670, Dictator, a pair of 176s even.. not the iron. But none of these will give you warmth and clarity and excitement. Get a tube eq if you're looking for that, much more versatile and many more "colors" Depending on your budget, get Wes TubeEQ or IGS 825EQ

I have a few WA pieces. Their 73 and pultecs. Also the 251 mic. I’m not saying they are bad but also I’m not terribly in love with them either. They give some color but nothing that makes me feel they are “unique”. Idk. They use some key things like transformers but the rest of their circuits are cheap and something to be desired. Then again they are very affordable price wise compared to to their OG versions they clone. I might try this out. I need more pre colors.

As for my own experiences, and I’m 74 years old, I cut my teeth at gold star recording studios in Hollywood. I remember very well the equipment we had. It wasn’t that great. Young people are falling for so much hype. It’s ridiculous, spending many thousands of dollars on stuff that if you ABX test them, one can barely discern the difference at all, let alone a multi-thousand dollar, or even hundreds of dollars difference. Suit yourself, but I don’t buy into it at all, and I’ve been there. I remember a tape accident at Gold Star for example. An album’s tape master came flying off the tape pancake take-up reel and was destroyed. We made the album with our backup copy that was one generation down!! Not one person, even it the business, could tell. Happy music making.

@@mobiuslooped1551 look I think you’re confusing a few things. I don’t care about cheap or inexpensive as you may say. I have tons and I tons of the stuff in all varieties. I get what you’re saying. But these pieces didn’t float my boat as much as say my “inexpensive” console I bought for $300 that has some unique components that sound amazing. Your old equipment had something in those components. These things now days? They nailed the transformer. Cool. But the other stuff that contributed to the uniqueness they sought to replicate? Even for being inexpensive they still charge probably twice as much to build it yourself. With cheap components that break. Switches etc. I don’t give a shit where they are from. I bought them. I use them. They aren’t that cool though. I didn’t say there aren’t cool cheap components. I use an Alesis wedge FFS because it’s got some cool sounds in it. I am totally in the world of using cheap inexpensive whatever. Don’t PC the gear to mein.

@louderthangod Жыл бұрын

What’s your point of reference. Clearly you own several of them so I’m assuming you don’t own the originals of which these are based. I think you take about the parts costing twice as much as the unit, it’s probably less than half but feel free to build your own from a kit and then figure out how much your time was work to build, troubleshoot and complete it. I hope your time isn’t worthless and I can guarantee you theirs isn’t either. If you know of better for the same cost then go for it. If you don’t like the components then replace them and see how much difference there is with each one. I’m going to guess and say it’s not much if anything. Circuit design > components and some swaps will likely be more of an individual taste issue than a consensus “better” vs “worse”.

@frankensteinhiphop Жыл бұрын

seems it bit too heavy handed, mix knob would have been good or even knobs instead of switched so you can dial in how much of that tone or tape saturation you're getting, it just seems over board when you click the switches in, and then you have to dial back the input which changes how you hit the tubes . but it is cool if one is after a super saturation box

@metaldefender49 11 ай бұрын

I have a hard question for prefer the Drawmer or the new Warm Audio MpX tube for saturation purposes? Mind you I have 14 very high quality preamps and while I can always use a few more I don't mind the price difference ( only about $200-250 difference ) . I know you love both of these but from a saturation point of view I'd love to hear what you think. I'm guessing the WA is more versatile overall but I'm under the impression the Drawmer maybe better for mastering. Love your show! Keep it metal!

I guess you're referring to the 1976? If so it's a hard battle tbh. I love the MPX, I really do, but the 76 makes its way in basically every mix I do one way or another while the MPX doesn't, maybe 4 out of 10. The pres are great tho but yeah. The versatility is in favor of the 76 slightly because it's multi band, actually in my upcoming new Rock mixing course I show a neat trick with it for guitars that is pretty cool.

Huuummm beginning my comment at the start after watching the B roll... Interested at the amount of switches, then start reading them... saw it's a pre amp and started thinking "Okay typical controls..." "Oh wait... the ending with Tape also" interesting unit.... it being Warm Audio it will be cheap, and a warm audio product has gotten your attention so this might be well be a gem... TBC... Defiantly not a forgiving box, but gives you a lot of options to play and would definitely suit as someone's first unit for that reason. It'll be a good first unit for the reason it's definitely a unit that you need to adjust to the sweet spot with which ever thing you wish to engage which will make someone stop and think a bit more. I like it, would be a great swiss army unit. There's a one channel unit in a 2 U design also but I'm guessing the 2 channel is just more crowded on the inside the unit. I'm thinking it could shine a bit more with with a more colourful mic, but prefer your choice for the test so we can hear the unit more than the mic.. love that mic for that very reason though. Nice one for introducing this

Looked at the inside of both and it is basically just a more compact setup. Can sometimes cause interference, but only if it’s not done properly and it probably is. The power board is on its side instead of flat as all. Stereo is obviously the wiser way to go. Definitely going to be nice for deep rich vocals but will also serve so many other things.

My WA-76 went wrong twice - the first time outside of warranty despite having less than 20 hours of use in its life from new and left in a secure rack in my studio. I didn’t use again after getting it back from repair and testing. I turned it on the other day for the first time since and it’s broken again but with a completely different fault lol. The problem with Warm Audio has always been build quality and reliability. Behringer have made A+++ remakes of so much gear and to a superior standard. Warm Audio units in my experience and to my ears lack a precise excellence in tone. With plug-in emulations sounding so close to the real hardware units and many stores of Grammy mix & mastering engineers selling certain units as a result… I don’t see the gap in the market for Warm Audio anymore. The USP has gone now the gap between emulations and real hardware units has closed. Their price points was never a bargain, especially when you consider the parts and build quality & lack of reliability. I wish Behringer would work their magic and start releasing stereo processing units! They’d be insane. There’s a lot of stuff on my shopping list and it’s all rather expensive. Wish they’d make a Massive Passive clone as close as they did the Model D and save us all about £3.5k 😅

@@mixbustv unless I’m crazy when you were demoing things you were switching different things on the two channels. Maybe that was on purpose. But the switches are in the same order on both sides. Unless I’m reading the words wrong on the faceplate.

I really don't like how this sounds. I understand that it's more a colour/distortion box which is fine, but the distortion just sounds pretty bad to me. I think it sounded good when the vocal was pushed to more vintage microphone/phone EQ levels, but I guess that's not what it's for. Pretty weird box to my ears, I really didn't like it that much on anything you did, it sounded OK on the synth, but I'd rather have a Culture Vulture or Elektron box if I'm honest.

@mixbustv Жыл бұрын

None of those are preamps, which is what this is mainly. The rest is extra

@jackflynn-oakley1937 Жыл бұрын

@@mixbustv I know, but it kinda is that right? You're buying this because you want a dirty preamp; I'm just saying that to me the 'dirt' doesn't sound that great. I'd rather just record with something else and run it through a (to me) better colour box, is my point.

@mixbustv Жыл бұрын

I think you're focusin on the extreme settings. My point in saying this is a preamp first is because the focus should be on the moderate settings. I personally don't like the CV, never have, not the Elektron. But it's just personal taste. If you record with a clean then you run it thru a color box, you need to buy two units. Jussayin

I’m honestly not tempted at all. The way you presented it I thought I would love it but hearing the examples I feel it’s a bit too much for my ears. I don’t love the way it distorts. Matter of taste I guess.

@@chicagoblow The characters of old preamps are not as clean and pristine. Also harmonic distortion is a key component of the design of the exact preamp it's based on. Also if it sounds broken, back off the input and use more output. If the problem persists check the tubes. Don't take low blows at other people's gear because you have a problem with a little scrimmage. The nerve. 🙄
