@ShredShed 4 жыл бұрын
My API's, or my Distressors. I'm really diggin the capi stuff since watching your vids. Great job as always man, you're killin it.
@XChristianNoirX 4 жыл бұрын
Still trying to figure that out lol. Could end up being a capi! You said you track guitars and vox etc through the Heiders and Vp28 platinum, using them for their different qualities, but didn't go in much depth as to which to use why. I still haven't gotten any CAPI gear, but I'm on the edge and can't decide. I'm stuck between the vp28, vp28 platinum, and Heiders still. You told me the Heiders sound good for heavy guitars, but maybe that's very general without knowing why. As far as non-capi, I'm actually looking at heritage for the Neve thing. So far, the demos tickle me just right compared to Bae etc. Thanks!
@XChristianNoirX 4 жыл бұрын
Oh.. And mainly I'll be doing tracking. Mixing is a plus, but I have to get the sources awesome to begin with and as close to mix ready as possible...and mix digitally for the time being. Lots of diwntubed stuff, but standard as well. I could get a pair of CAPI's or maybe 1 each of 2.
@XChristianNoirX 4 жыл бұрын
The other thing is.. If it's best to get 2x at the same time for purposes of the units being calibrated together and sounding as consistent as possible. Maybe direct from capi is not a bad thing, but I actually liked a demo of the vp28 with the "cheaper" op amps in a demo I heard over red dots, because it gives a slight bit of more "chewiness" to the mids. I think it's the 1731 op amps, where most people go with gar or red dots. I just found the link here: www.gearslutz.com/board/so-much-gear-so-little-time/845522-capi-vp28-op-amp-shootout.html

Wayne Hartman. If your soldering skills are fairly good, you can save a ton of money, building your own capi pre amps. I built 4 vp28’s and it really wasn’t that difficult. The op amps were the most difficult part, they are smaller than I thought they would be🙃 and quite a few components. I bet I could build a vp26 in 2 hours way less components and they sound great!

What's in the mic locker? As a secondary question, I would be interested in your opinion as to what generic rack items (not brand, but say, mic pre, compressor, etc.) one would need for a small studio. What could one get by with if he was to have one of each necessary item to record/produce/mix a quality track or album? By the way, live drums not required. Voice, guitar, bass, software instruments only.

Very stupid question/number of questions, but: 1) is there a way to take the amps out of combo's and organise them in a rack manner, and 2) if step 1 is possible, is it possible to mix the signals and if so, what would be necessary or should the go to one mixer connected to one set of speakers? Again I probably sound like a baffoon, but this interests me, much, like I have a couple of amps each with their unique tones, tonal qualities, but having them all with different speakers is just not sensible in terms of usage of space

Fantastic video! Quick question Colt (or anyone who can help). When you say that a certain compressor or EQ lives on your vocal chain while mixing, do you treat them all as hardware inserts in Pro Tools? I ask because I have a few hardware units connected to my patch bay, but not as inserts. I use a Summing mixer and everything is wired to the patchbay. Anyways, when I send the vocal to a certain output, it goes to a compressor. Still, the issue is that ultimately, the hardware’s output ends up being the final stage in volume and not the fader, since the channel fader is acting as the input to the compressor, making impossible to do any automation. I hope this makes sense. Any help would be appreciated 👍🏼
