Thanks so much Vincent! :)

Thanks so much! :)

Great sounding units for sure! :)

Thanks Ant! :)

Thanks Cam! :)

Thank you so much!! :D

Hey Olivia! :) that is very much part of the plan, the biggest thing holding me back from doing that currently is finding a way to be able to film them the way that I’d like to. It’s nice to have the walk around tours, but it would be cooler to be able to see and hear the studios in action. Any suggestions would be more than welcome for things you would like to see.

Thanks Michael! :)

Mr Zorro! :) thanks so much. Hard to only pick 8 modules isn’t it?!

Thanks so much for the feedback Gregory! That is very much part of the plan for the future. :)

Sounds like a solid chain! :)

Thank you Tim! :) that’s totally fair enough.

Perhaps in the future sure! :)

Thank you so much! :) it depends really. If I’m not in the studio and editing for the KZfaq channel, sometimes I use my Neumann NDH30 headphones, other times I’m able to mix on the ATC’s here in the studio. :)

​@@alecbrits great. If any of these mixes on your channel are done on headphones solely, you are a great mixing artist. I saw a lot of your work is original tracking of instruments/vocals. I wonder, if sample library based work can sound as good with just one instrument tracked. A bit of a vague question, but since diff libraries and synths etc are all recorded at diff rooms, mics, gain staging etc, I have a difficult time making them all fit in. Would be great to know your take on this in some future video..

That sounds like a great workflow! :)

Pretty sure it’s just the slots. :) some are higher current versions. Might be best to reach out to API for any clarification.

Yeah! :) noticed that. They do sound pretty dang good!

Thank you Mix1 :)

It’s not the same. :) the high end increases as a shelf, while the low decreases as a shelf.

Hey there, Hey There! :) this was the DPA 4011. Used with a Cranborne Audio EC2. You can see the video on my DPA studio bundle review.

I would not say that the Phoenix sounds thicker than a Neve. I totally agree with you that the Phoenix stuff feels more open. I’m a big fan of the Phoenix tone.

As I said in the video the Compressor was a little too tight for my hands. The other units were spot on. Because each of the pots on the Phoenix units are indented, they don’t move accidentally if you gently touch one.

It was indeed! :)

@@alecbrits Lol. I got way too many synths. Time to tickle my Grandmother👵some more lol. That thing sounds amazing. I got a matriarch as well.

I have already reviewed the pre earlier in the channel. :)

Hey Benja! :) the outer layer of the walls are made out of OSB wood.

Hey Kenneth! :) I recorded it with a Mexican P Bass I to a Roland JC80. DPA 4011 on the cone and a pair of 4041’s in the room.

I’ll see if I can get a Coleman mastering Eq, I’ve not tried one or seen one in person yet! :)

@@alecbrits thank you highly always 🙏

😂 keeps me company.

Hey Geoffrey! Completely different boxes, they have nothing in common with each other. Perhaps Heritage VS BAE, or Neve VS BAE? :)

@@alecbrits Okay, Neve vs BAE? By the way, thanks for the video. You are by far one of the top (maybe even THE TOP) reviewers I trust the most and I learn a lot from. Blessings My Friend!

Thanks@@geoffreymerrifield5666! Hard to know for sure. I guess that may come down to where you are, and what you are looking for. 1073’s are all sounding pretty wicked nowadays. If you are in the states, the BAE might be easier to repair. However, if you are in the uk NEVE are here and can have anything easily maintained. :) tonally, I don’t think it matters. Mics/room and tone have a far bigger impact than the small differences in various versions of the same thing. Hope this helps!
