SWEET setup brother your studio looks fantastic!!!! 🎹 🎸
Thank you kindly!
Thanks Dave! What a great career choice w/many accomplishments. I'm loving it and trying to prevent myself from going to deep with my outboard gear until I work on my solo stuff I've been planning for. This is "great" gear review for us sir. I've already made some 2024 selections that's been in several "WISH" lists since 2022. Bravo
Thanks for your support and for watching!!
Congrats Dave, show deserve it!!!
Thanks!!
awesome set up!
Thanks!
I like your approach to your personal setup!
Thanks!
Very nice setup!
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing, I've been enjoying your videos. In the last year my plans of outfitting a comprehensive rehearsal space have morphed into outfitting _that_ into a private recording studio. I had already spent the previous 5 years buying instruments; a truly incredible collection of guitar and bass amps, a bunch of guitars (mostly tailored to my taste but still comprehensive enough for a studio) including among them several pre-CBS and "L-series" (late 63-early 65 before the CBS changes were implemented) Fender Jaguars and a pre-CBS 1961 Strat) and a couple good basses, drums, synths, drum machines, PA etc. Now in the last year I have been buying recording equipment. My plan being to purchase the foundation/majority of the gear I'll need and then to pick and/or build and move into the studio so that once I do, it's "turn key" and ready to go. In just the last year I've already bought enough gear to outfit a quality project studio and then some. Recently - thanks to your videos - I got turned onto and purchased a bunch of Audio-Scape stuff. Recently acquiring a pair or 76F's, the AS78 (FANTASTIC piece of gear) and the 260VU. With plans to buy their "LA2A," Their spring reverb, "LA3A," and their "Stay Level." You've likely heard but they too are coming out with their own "Fairchild" 670 and it looks pretty good albeit it understandably won't be cheap. Right now I'm in the midst of outfitting my 500 series stuff and my ost recent acquisitions in the last 2 months up to the current day have been some extra pre-amp flavors (312's, 1073's, SSL SiX channels, Shadow Hills Mono Gammas) with a big focus on EQ's, in particular the Avedis Audio stuff. I bought a quad of their e27's and a pair of their e12g 12 band EQ's. I also got the SSL 611EQ and a pair of Maag EQ4's.
In the coming weeks I'm going to get some 500 series effects units. Initially I was focused in on the AMS Neve that you have before I got really intrigued by the Meris 500 series units, the M7 reverb and their Hedra pitch shifter/delay. Their prices are great at $550 new but then I realized, you'll need 2 of each for stereo and that kind made me think again about the Neve.
Does the AMS Neve 500 series Reverb have any pitch shift and delay algorithms? It's a shame Eventide no longer produces their DDL-500 delay. That unit looks fantastic and the price was great but you rarely ever see them come up used. The JHS 500 series stuff was also excellent and unfortunately no longer being produced.
Sounds like a great studio you are building. Good luck with everything! The AMS has only 1 delay patch I think and a limited amount of reverbs. These days I find myself using plugins more for reverb than the AMS because its easier and sounds just as good.
Thanks, Nova is on the way to me. Best/Mathias
Congrats on the Nova and Thanks for watching!!
Enjoy that!
Thank you
Man this is an awesome video. Killer studio
Thanks James! I am a BIG fan of your channel and have been watching for years!
@@MixingMusicAnalog as I am of your channel.
Some nice equipment you’ve got Dave, I was wondering about your thoughts on the Black Lion bluey, now I know. Thanks for the update ❤
You got it!
Wicked setup. My latest additions have been patch bays and I upgraded my aging motu converters to audient. Oh and my console master section is being modified so the console is down for now till I get that back together.
Great! Thanks for sharing!
HAHAHA. I knew it. You are going to get another rack like I told you. See how I know things? This is too funny!!! Nice video. I am glad you made this one. Boy I got you on the rack thing.
no new rack is coming, I promise you that
nice studio man
Appreciate it!
Thanks for the video.
Btw ive been meaning to ask you. Have you noticed that the spl big inverts the phase?
I thought that my unit was broken until I send it back. I recieve a new unit. And it does the same. I love it so il Will keep it anyway :) but have you noticed it?
I have not noticed that. I'll have to check mine
Nice! What made you lean toward the Audio-Scape La-2a over the V-comp for vocals? I ordered a La-2a from them, looking into a v comp in the future.
No particular reason. I do use the Vcomp on vocals from time to time.
Nice video. David, does the nova unit have to have the Ethernet cable plugged in to the main unit all the time or just at setup? Thanks
if you want to use the desktop app, then yes it does.
Tower of Power, when I purchased my api 560’s , i paid 500, never would’ve thought they would’ve doubled in price nice
Oh wow! Yea, that's a great price for those API 560's.
Hey Dave any chance you'll do a review of the new Audient ORIA? Not necessarily for the ATMOS features but for the built-in room correction. Would be interesting to compare it to your Trinnov as a budget option.
I doubt it. They use Reference Id / sonar works room correction, which I have already tried prior to the Trinnov. I am sure you saw that video where I compared the 2. There is no software product that does all that the Trinnov does, it just doesn't. That interface looks very cool if you are getting into Atmos because it's very affordable. Personally, I won't be going atmos anytime soon.
@@MixingMusicAnalog You're right. I remember your video on Sound ID Reference. I didn't remember if the software version had time alignment or not but seems like it does. ATMOS still seems like a novelty at this point. Labels require it but even with an "affordable" controller like the Audient it's still thousands to invest for the home producer.
Interesting to see you've dropped the UF8. Are you now just doing single fader automation when you need it? That's how I go about it but I know you were using the UF8 on the ngleveler before. Would love to have an update on how you're using the nglevel today now that you've had it a while. Seems like you have it on every channel now? 2023, I locked down my stereo bus. Similar to yours with some different pieces. I would really like to get a drum bus EQ but haven't chosen which one yet. Then I want to lock in some lead vocal gear. Being hybrid, I like to just run the busses through hardware for the most part and process individual tracks ITB. I use the SSL SiX to sum the busses back to stereo.
Yes, just using the 1 fader for the automation. I also do some automation with the trackball. It depends on what I am trying to automate. I am still feeling out the best way to use the NG-Leveler for automation. It's a little "clunky" for sure but it does work and I am starting to get used to it. Its a very affordable way to add automation to my console even if its not perfect. I wish someone would develop a product like this but add/fix some of the issues the NG-Leveler has. No company make such a device, so this is what we have.
I will eventually do an update video once I get a little more comfortable with it
@@MixingMusicAnalog Thank you for responding. This stuff is very interesting to me even though I don't have a full analog/console rig. Have a great week
One day I shall have at least one studio rack....and a board to go with it!
I am sure you will! f I can do it, so can you :)
I see that all those wrapped cables on the floor and I wonder how many of those could be removed with that new Harrison console that's out? Since it has its own AD/DA, I figure it would reduce bundles like that quite a bit - not that cable reduction in itself is a reason to buy a console; more like a bonus feature.
Maybe, but that console is $95,000. I'll stay with the bundle of cables and save $50K.
@@MixingMusicAnalog As I said - not a reason in an of itself to buy one that has conversion. I still like what you have more.
Nice setup. What did you record with it?
I dont record anything here only mix
What DAC feeds the console - a Quantum 4848? The Quantum 2626?
4848
Brilliant update 💯👌🏽😃 what a shame Presonus stop making quantum 4848 would’ve grab a couple myself after watching all the test do done 👍🏽
Tell me about it. I'm hoping to find one on the used market to keep as a backup
I managed to find one brand new on BimotorDJ in Portugal and got it shipped to where I live in Argentina. Completely crazy!
I think there are a few in Peru left...
How do you setup the distressor for electric guitars? You just use the el8 not the X version?
it totally depends on the recorded guitar part.
Dave, I am curious I noticed in your video that you do not have the BAE 73 EQL's in your 500 rack. What happened, if you do not mind me asking?
They were not mine to keep. I had them on loan
Do you track with the SPL DeS?
Is the hardware better than Soothe2 in the box?
Don‘t know if the hardware makes sense here.
Should I get the hardware or soothe2?
I dont ever record here. I am only a mixing house
Can we get a Neve 33609 clone shootout? Maybe include the newer diode compressors as well like the heritage successor and NRD 5254. Please……. Also sidetone love your channel. Keep up the good work. Much appreciated.
If a company wants to send me their 33609 clone, I would be happy to do it
@@MixingMusicAnalog love your demos. Hopefully Audioscape sends you one to tryout soon then. 🤞 🍀
Newbie here’ can someone share some practical advantages to having to two of the same piece?
To use on stereo tracks
what about spl vitalizer mk2?
Never used it
Nice hardware, just do not have the room for it in my studio, unless I decide to get rid of my jh-110
Or buy a bigger house....LOL
If anything I was thinking of downsizing@@MixingMusicAnalog
Will be demoing the hum audio n trophy console, should be interesting ,in your neck of the woods@@MixingMusicAnalog
I saw that the new Audioscape Fairchild is going for 7K.
yea, too much for my blood.
Quantum 4848 was discontinued ... big mistake presonus, big mistake!
I wish they would release a new version
As soon as they do, I may get rid of my Orion
How many compressors does a man need? 😂
50, I think it the correct number
