Thank you!! Our band is heading in this direction now and there's so much to know for sure. Best vid explaining the playback rig I've seen!! Any recommendation for having a company build one for me?

Love how the drums sit in the mix so well. I'd love know about the cymbals and their models.

The half hour video confirms that great sounding drums and cymbals are the starting point to a great recording session. If your gear doesn’t sound great before you start recording then miking the kit won’t fix the problems. It will create more problems in editing, mixing and mastering.

Can you more explain the part about the Line Check ?

HA rules !

Kip Allen sent me here…great comparison!

I would love another video on this such as how you control it in a live scenario

This is really helpful and easy to understand, thank you!

Lemme get this straight - the bae 500 series is thicker than the warm and heritage racks? Insane. Correct my if I’m wrong. 500 series 1066?

I have a model 12 will external pres sound good with it

If you ever get your hands on a GAP PRE-73 EQ Premier, be interesting to hear if there's any difference, compared to say the WA. Because they are half the price of the WA 73, almost 1/4 the price of the Neve. So could almost fit out a whole 8-channel drum recording frontend for the price of just over two Neve units. Similar with the Warm Audio WA-12 API-style pre, compared to CAPIs, which are almost twice the price, or APIs which are almost 3x.

For me, coming from the guitar and electronics home studio side, I think I would avoid wasting money on the following: tube upgrades, makes minimal difference. Too many overdrives: once you've found two or three you like, can sell the rest. Stock pickup upgrades, too often the new ones will be a little different, not necessarily better. Most stock speaker upgrades, often the amp manufacturers chooses one that pairs well. 4x12 cabs - too hot to handle unless you can isolate them really well - similar goes for 100w+ tube guitar/bass amps like Plexis, JCM800s, SVTs. Hardware all-digital syntheseziers, just use plugins, or even free ones - they are often better. Mixing consoles - most but not all home studios would do better to get an audio interface with many inputs, and go straight in, and spend the money on a few great rack or 500-series preamps, EQs and compressors. Loud/big tube bass amps and 8x10 cabs - there's a reason most studios won't have much other than a B-15 and a great D.I for bass.

Sounds great, nice tone, like off a nice old 70s vinyl record, which I always like. Similar setup here. Main interface is a Motu ultralite mk.V. But I use that Behringer for extra pres. For overheads, hats. Similar mics too, Beta52A on kick, SM57 snare top (no snare bottom). SM7b on hi-hat, though a 57 could do that. Audix D's on toms. Line Audio CM4 stereo pair on overheads. I use a couple of other things, but those would put it over budget: JZ Vintage 67 as room mic. GAP Pre73 for kick, Camden Cranborne EC1 pre for snare. Motu pres on tom pair. Want to get API pre pair for toms. And would like to upgrade to Audient ASP800, or better yet SSL Quad Pure Drive for better pres and ADC than the Behringer. Another affordable way of recording, if the room sounds good, and a more open sound works, is something like the 4-mic Recorderman technique. So, maybe a pair of Austrian Audio OC16 above and to the side, a Beta 52 on kick, SM57 on snare.

Fire! ❤

Trash video you do all that but dont do a vocal test give me back my view

insert button on the warm beats the heritage all day someone that an anlaog user that feature is the most important.....

Thanks for sharing and doing this review. I am currently in the process of testing a focusrite ISA vs a heritage Audio 73. I was curious how did you get a blue color heritage Audio all I’ve seen are gray lol.

PS. I read o your site that you're in Nashville, Have you tracked drums in the past for Michael Flanders (expat Aussie there I do some work for occasionally). JD

You samples sound fantastic, SOLD !! I will be buying the entire library shortly, amazing work Kyle. Where are you based by the way?

I'm hearing a lot more transient attack and low end in the heritage

Build quality and extra functions makes WA the winner for me. :-) I just got one, and saved quite big on getting the WA used, compared to a new HA unit - which is rare to come by used in Norway.

Question: any phase issues with 4 overheads? Thanks!

What are the sizes?

Warm didn't follow spec, and that was also in the inductor's which rupert neve said you need to have 3 not one or two !

Nice work man

Not a subtle difference to me: the Heritage clearly has a tighter low end and a better transient. It’s like it’s smeared slightly, but still really well defined.

wow, did you quantize it? it looks so evenly in line.

Kyle, love your work! What camera are you using and what lighting devices? Your content looks amazing!

5:33 5:49 6:09 6:14 6:34 7:16 7:27 7:44

You really are a master on recording drum. Do you mind sharing the rest of your mic setup.

Great vid!! Love to see how people use our gear. Fun point: you can use the PA1U or PA12 in place of the IAC as a loopback MIDI port. WE have 2 videos on that on our channel. Could use an IAC for turning tracks on and off too.

The warm sounded foggy, snudgy, whereas the Heritage definitely had more of a crisp sound and less mud in the low and low mids. More clarity in the mids and high band. The Heritage top shelf is at 12k. Warm is switchable from 10 to 12 to 16. I have The WA 73 EQ, I prefer the Heritage. It seems to have more seperation in the entire sound spectrum. The warm is still good but the heritage had more smack, crunch and air. Both were great though.

ive been using this as my reference track for mixing drums and its been a game changer haha

Great, concise explanation of some very complicated ideas. I am amazed at how far playback rigs have come. Putting the 1u in a fly rack would be incredibly powerful and economical. Using the IEC driver for different predetermined sets is a clever approach! Love it.

Wow, I love how much low end of the kick that 4038 picks up from the kick even being that close to the to the Batter side. I need to try this on a Rock song. I do use crotch mics almost every session, but have never tried my Coles, or a Ribbon in that position. Actually the last session I did, I didn't even bring my Coles, because it was in a hella dusty, and hairy cabin lol. I was to afraid lol.

Nice comparison, thanks! One think I strongly dislike about the HA-73 EQ is the fact that the EQ controls are laid out the wrong way round. Worse yet, some knobs have marking on the bottom while the Output level has them on the top like most knobs.I know the Neve product this clones is also laid out that way but, frankly, it's stupid. Warm Audio did it right.

This is great, man! Thank you for making this video! I would love to see more videos about these technical aspects of live performance!

I love how you can see the outdoor shows you've done on the stage box inputs 🤪🤪

Can I use mp3 instead of wav, can it save cpu little bit more and a hard space of course

Thanks for the insight ! Rare info there !

little crash at 7:22 but great video thx

LOVE THIS!!!

Great video, Kyle. I own the HA and I love the results I get. I've often wondered what the WA version sounds like. Both sound really good.

Promo>SM

Kyle! Love your videos man. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. What settings did you use on the V kick? Modern or classic?

The HA has smoother eq - as it should be ;-) Still like my WA though, just don't use the eq so much, it does have it's place - they do sound good

Really why would we care?

Always great man. I needed that shaker bit. TTTTTTHanksss

guitar is way to loud. i would only have the accents of the guitar as loud as that. but the 4038 in a stereo setup are a secret weapon. if you have 2 of them, try to place them in a AB setup pretty low over the kit, ignore the cymbals, because the coles tame them in a nice way anyway, but make sure the phase relationship/distance of the BD and the SN are completely equal. i had great results in studio recordings with full bands, drum kit completely miked for safety, but in the end only using the 2 coles and a neumann u47 tube on kick (not using the other 10 mikes if the kit).

Awesome video Kyle! I think videos like these show how to bring that song from 85-90% to that last 10% all the way. Appreciate ya 🤘
