Can the software create a crossover between my sub and my mains? And can I pick where the crossover is? And can I add a high shelf cut in the custom target??? Thanks

Dry mix sounds best to my ears, much wider and more open than the API or the Neve.

I could hear the difference in your Part 1 vid. I'm just gonna say, IMO, it's not a huge. It's subtle but noticeable if you have a good monitoring environment (room, speakers and/or good headphones). A bit more depth in the lowend and something a bit more chewy (I don't know what that means exactly) in the lowmids/mids. Again, subtle. Most consumers listening on their ear buds or bluetooth speaker would enjoy either print and be able to tell one bit of difference or really care. All that said - I think I want a B2 -- lol!

THANKS, MMA!

If I was re-starting as an engineer, man the only outboard I’d need is API 2500, API 5500, and a UTA mpeq1 preamp. Done.

You can slam this thing really hard. Try 10:1 ratio, soft, loud, in old mode. Release to taste. Try that setting on anything to find out what it does on the 2500 - it’s really interesting.

Do you find that it increases sibilance on vox?

Hou much price

I like how little it takes to make a difference, and how far it can go but stays natural. Would be interested in seeing more in-depth sessions messing around with Q. Great review though! Exciting new brand and new product!!!

Impressive, I would have gone straight to the classic Sontec shelf on both ends 🤔, but it was good enough even though you only did bells.

There's a lot I can infer from the song you used, very relevant to my genre, and shows the power of this EQ well!!!

They are amazingly close. At this point it’s a matter of preference.

I wonder how much more stepped controls would be

On the drum bus yes 👍🏽 mix bus was very smooth. Definitely one to get. Thanks Dave

Seems very promising. Interestingly, the company has said this is more G** inspired than S*ntec, if that makes sense. The 5 overlapping bands and frequency selection speaks to that. As far as the utility of a transparent EQ, I think you may surprise yourself how often you reach for one. Not sure if you do mastering, but such an EQ is basically the equivalent of a scapel to a surgeon, its ubiquitous and usually paired with another colorful broad strokes EQ. Its surprisingly useful on vocals too. Thanks for the demo!

Nice video. Major issue is it is not stepped and will be a nightmare for recall and for dialing it in. it appears you cannot link the channels. 30 knobs to keep track of. I say no go for a busy studio. To me the device should only be stepped never continuous. Other than that, great box. Oh and lettering is too small. Sorry to be negative about those issues because I like to see good gear. It is my opinion and I am sure others will think differently and that is perfectly fine.

Just picked one up today, excited for it to be my first 500 series module on my mix buss.

A comparison video between zh 1178 and audioscape one would be cool..hope uou can do that ))

76A vs Bluey video would be amazing

Having just had Trinnov, Sonarworks and the ARC studio in my room I completely agree with this 100%... I wanted a bigger difference honestly, but at the same time Trinnov (Nova) was definitely better... I actually found the ARC closer to it and even if i get the trinnov im keeping the ARC until they sort out a low latency mode :)

I don't know if you covered this in the video, but I think you were mostly talking about large format consoles. I've just bought a compact Allen & Heath GS3000 24 channel 8 bus, late 90s vintage. A lot of the concerns such as power consumption and failing components aren't an issue on an IC desk like that. I should be taking delivery this weekend. Let's hope it's in as good condition as the seller says it is.

When comparing sounds, it is essential to always display a loudness meter.

I actually just nabbed one of these for my Mix/Master Bus yesterday and am pretty excited for it. Nice vid!

Nice demo and a great sounding compressor. Do you hear any differences between the DA-3A and the V3A (500 series)?

Great video 👍🏽 really loved it on the vocals 💯👌🏽

Love AudioScape. The acoustic comparison was great.

Hats off to the hard-working people at Audioscape! They bring us boutique quality without the boutique price tag. :)

11:06 Thank you for showing inside the unit 👍

Great content ! thx !!! compare Kiive audio V-COMP ???

You need to push the eq vsts hi freqs so they begin to crap out, 2 dBs is nothing, u need to go 8, 10, 12 dbs like CLA 😂

Owning the Convert Ad+ among many other converters I can say this. Where the Dangerous AD+ shines is when you drive an clip the input . Compared to other high end converters it just handles it much better. Added bonus 👉 is the clip guard function that keeps it from clipping the convertion back in Pro Tools or any DAW alike. The AD+ handles allot of clipping especially the low end. It does this much better than any converter ive ever herd ,used ,and own. It does this while retaining the integrity of the mix and a much better open wide top end aswell. Also without the transformer engaged. Love the AD+ it can really handle some serious level while staying transparent.

I love your channel Dave and you as a person on your videos.....always great reviews and funny entertaining

Seems nice. I’m curious of how would sound on bass

The origin print sounds wider and more open on the top end.

Empress vs Stam please! Great review btw...killer unit...8 pultecs in one! EQP-1A (x2), EQP-1S (x2), MEQ-5 (x2), MEQ-5-SS (x2)

As usual, the hardware sounds like a pro mix more than the software. Surprise surprise! Haha

Wow, thanks for bringing this unit to my attention, brilliant stuff.

Sounds great. I was hoping to hear this on a full mix. Are you planning on doing more videos w/ this unit or is this pretty much it?

Would love a Pulltec on the mixbus 🤩

Please do a test on drum and mix bus with the 609+pultec.

That EQ sounds great, so musical. It's almost hard to get a bad sound out of it. Thanks for the demo.

That intro is KILLER!!! Awesome channel!

thank you very much 👌

Oh man I was waiting for this one...sounds amazing! ...now what can I sale to get one,hehe

I love the tube and solid state switching function... would be useable if you already had a lot of analogue going on in a chain, the added tube effect could be too much at times... if you only had a few units you might always stay on tube. I was so surprised when I realised this was a stereo unit when looking on the website... it's like getting two units for a tiny price increase. They have updated the website to make it a lot more obvious right away now I see as I went to quickly fact check what I was about to say lol. Such a incredible value deal

Great unit! Too bad we didn't get any mixbus examples! Also, I don't believe solid-state sounds less 'warm' per se; it's just a different kind of low end. The tube circuitry's low end is kind of pillowy and woofy, easy to overdo. The solid-state circuitry's low end sounds punchier, tighter, more focused. But as you said, both are great, and it's up to the mixer to decide which one is the better choice for a given song. :) I just know that I prefer solid-state on the mixbus. :D

Another great review Dave, I hope both of you are doing well!!! 🎶🎹🎶🎸

thank you :)

Do you use the MBT for tracking ? Interested in the this product

🙂👍
