Preamp Test With Real Drums & Real Percussion. Do they make a difference?

I put 3 preamps to the test. The Focusrite Scarlet, the SSL Big Six and the Yamaha 01V96i.
Playing drums and percussion you can clearly hear what each one does. Are they worth the money and what do they do. I try and answer these questions I have been asking myself.

A very good video ----- well done. You have a good style. This presentation is well organized. The differences are overblown in many instances. Your video demonstrates how close they are. The differences among good preamps is not very much, with the exception of those preamps that are intentionally very colored, which I generally do not use. I use an Audient iD44 Mk II, Audient 4816SE console, Avalon Design 737's/V55's, Neumann 402's, SSL Big Six and a few others. I generally like to track/record clean and then add color as wanted using SSL Fusion, SSL Bus+, SSL UC1/Channel Strip 2 and Channel Strip 4k B, and Avalon Design 737, 747.

I've just started recording through the fusion by inserting it on the main bus. It works so well on my acoustic drums. Love it.

Sound is not going to improve but workflow is fun. SSL Plugins sound just as good.@@bogackvrak2073

Great video. I couldn’t tell much difference in sound and I was listening through a good pair of headphones.

If you listen a couple of times you can start to hear a bit of difference. It all adds up I guess.

@@Drumbaseuk That's the thing I have noticed. You could give me a 2000 dollar preamp and a 50 dollar one and I can barely hear the difference. But when stacking recordings I did notice my upgrade from a cheap interface to a better one.

@@annekedebruyn7797 yeah you are absolutely right. The tests I see don’t stack the tracks, just do one and it is hard to hear. It's like the cable debate. Record 25 tracks through each and you may hear a difference, but I haven’t seen any that do that test. Hmmm maybe a video there. lol

just curious sample rate is tiny bit different - as you mentioned

Maybe I need more practice listening but I felt like the O1v was better than the Big Six. The Big six had more headroom but leaned more heavily into the higher frequencies. Not in a good way imo.

I don’t know…. I listened again and in some places the Big Six was definitely better than the 01v.
