Great job on the shootout against Cole on the Sweetwater Rig Builders! I voted for you because the simplistic way that you used the LA-2A and the 1073 to achieve sonic greatness coupled with the Telefunkin, made her vocals sound pristine and dynamic. You're repping your brand well @archiebeatz

Saving up right now for a 1073 SPX! But also looking into a slightly cheaper alternative like the Rupert Neve 511 or SSL 500 series. Any advice on how to get a WARMER vocal chain? I currently run my Lauten Audio Atlantis or my TLM 103 into my Apollo Twin X (Avalon737 Unison), and it sounds good on my crispy voice, but I wanna FATTEN the signal some. Any Advice appreciated as I’m currently stuck in the PREAMP RABBIT HOLE 😂

@archiebeatz 11 ай бұрын

Hey what's up man? Nice. The Neve 511 are nice but with this chain setup, I would warm it up with a optical tube compressor at the end of your chain. You could even hit the UA apollo console software with a Tubetech C1B plugin on the insert. NIce setup btw. Hahahahaha, I see. It happens. I hope this helps tho.

High in order to get more sound of the circuit (the trim used just to control signal clipping) vs low level and high trim to have a clean sound. You will have the most control over tone if you have an analog mixer between the unit and your daw.

The 1073 SPX is good, but not 1:1 authentic. If you want a 1073 that sounds most like Vintage Modul, then you need to buy the 1073 Classic (handwired), (and I'm not talking about the Neve 1073N) with an 80's Series chassis. The 1073 Classic + 80's Series Chassis costs around 5k.

That output level actually goes through a transformer and apparently you're meant to have it up high with the input gain feeding in a bit lower to get the intended sound.

@breadmakingplays716 5 ай бұрын

You sure so have the red knob set lower if using mic and turn the level all the way up

@who_is_dis 5 ай бұрын

@@breadmakingplays716 Yeah, from what i've seen, have the trim up, red input knob down, and then increase the red knob and lower the trim to balance them to taste. People tend to only use that trim knob thinking its a clean output. As a result they have more of the input transformer and hardly any of that output transformer in their signal. I haven't personally done this because I don't have one and plugins don't model it. So mind you, i'm not talking from experience - just info i've found. There's people making videos on it too.

@anthonyrock5039 3 ай бұрын

After using the classic and the N version for a few years, I would say the sound sculpting ability is soo great that you just need to experiment. In use, it feels and sounds like the balance act with its tones brings in harmonics in both directions soo I ended up getting started with half of the gain and using trim to flavour more.
