Let's review the Neve 1073SPX Microphone Preamp/EQ! This is widely considered the best and most iconic mic preamp of all time. It's the premier interface for vocalists of almost every genre (including hip hop) but it's also used on drums, guitar, bass, and pretty much everything.
Buy the Neve 1073: sweetwater.sjv.io/an2LkR
Audio Technica AT4040 - sweetwater.sjv.io/rQggxR
I'm going record an entire song using only the EQ on the Neve 1073 plus some compression in my DAW. Nothing else. I'm excited to learn what all these buzzwords mean: Class A discrete topology, harmonic saturation, Marinair transformers, hand-wound Inductor based EQ. (And other 10 dollar words).

Warm Audio MPX Preamp Review: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bcd5qryZzeCwn30.html

What an amazing piece of kit it looks and sounds classy. Great video as always, I love the track.

In two videos you have completely changed my outlook on recording. I went to audio school and, even though I appreciate the advanced techniques we learned there, we never learned how to get amazing drum sounds out of one channel on drums or how to record committing to a certain sound. Great stuff, keep it up!

I learned how to change strings and bumped the shit out of my two first guitars around before becoming a "careful", better guitarist and guitar owner. I now am in a position to never upgrade again! Only maybe to add a guitar with a different body to record different sounds. Great content man! Thanks for putting in the good work

Dude so awesome. The one pre and eq I could always reach for and always want more of. Have you tried changing the input impedances yet? Low impedance for dynamics and ribbons or low output mics, high for condensers or high output mics. Changes the frequency response of the preamp. It’s subtle but it’s there.

@travisraab 7 ай бұрын

my advice is to just record straight into your evo and do everything in the box. If you want to mess with outboard gear, you can, but it won't be an enormous change in sound. I would recommend upgrading the sound of my room, my mic, or my guitar before anything else.@@felipecesarlourenco8955

I would love to hear the same song with an AT2020 and a GAP Pre-73 and see the difference. If you're a musician first, it is absolute overkill to go for the Neve unless you have money burning a hole in your pocket. Compelling performances will outshine gear, but I get it if you're coming from an audio engineer perspective and plan on recording other musicians.

Music gear is never an investment. That whole mindset is predicated on the idea that you're going to get rid of the gear, and if it was good, you wouldn't be doing that. This sort of mindset also fuels GAS, which we all have way too much of. It's nonsense. If you want an investment, buy stocks or gold. You can't say "clients hear with their eyes" and then make decisions yourself based on a logo and convince yourself it's rational because "it's an investment." Investments only pay off when you sell. And you get clones if they do the same job as well or better, and are cheaper. Warm Audio makes some fantastic clones that are better than the "real" (differently manufactured over time, not produced anymore, or ill-supported) things. Not to mention, if you're packing a setup with 8 preamps and buy clones, it means you can literally do much more with your valuable money than you could otherwise. If you're touring, buying two clones and having a backup might be a much better option than buying one of the "real" thing and being screwed when something goes wrong. Mr. Wylde's opinion is easy to have when you have that much infrastructure and support built up around you. Money helps too ;-) That's my two cents; It's silly to tell working musicians that a clone isn't good enough, when it actually might just be the smartest option in a lot of cases.

@simonaustin1136 7 ай бұрын

Ahaha warm audio preamps are not better than real neves, are you high??? Let’s see what a used warm audio 1073 is worth in 10 years vs a real neve and then tell me it’s not an investment. And maybe it’s not an investment in a traditional sense (ie. expected annual rate of return etc), but collecting equipment that lets you do a job better and can sometimes increase the legitimacy of your work will in return increase your income from said business. I have experienced this first hand with buying an API console. When everyone’s mixing in the box a lot of people come to me over the other guy as I have a competitive edge and the $ return I’ve seen from increase in mixing clients is far beyond a return I could expect from the stock market. Plus I get to do what I love.

@legacyShredder1 7 ай бұрын

"Investments only pay off when you sell." Tradesmen invest in tools which allow them to do their job. An investment is far more than buy low, sell high. I've got many investments that pay me weekly and monthly, and I don't have to sell the investment to get my return.
