      @@RecordingStudioLoser it’s really nice although it’s not as transparent as a real CL1B. Even at the classic setting I’m hearing saturation which is supposed to be the cleanest. It makes the vocal really thick which sounds great but is not what I always want. I like that the Newtons compressor is more transparent and I can dial in the silk. It’s not as thick but more present which is better for modern pop.

      @@rickythethird It was a loan like most of the stuff I review. I chose not to keep that one, which was hard because I think it sounds amazing. I felt like the 5211 plus compressor was more my speed because I tend to go for a more clean modern sound. It’s just my style. So the Newton channel is perfect because it’s basically a 5211 with eq and compressor. It’s all I really need. I am going to try out the WA1b soon

    The RND stuff is just so musical. I'd probably cash out the 1073 and get a bunch of the Newton channels. I have a 16 channel 5088 going into the studio next month and I CANNOT wait!

    • @MoreMeRecording
      @MoreMeRecording 11 місяців тому +1

      This "musical" term has always puzzled me. Isn't any piece of hardware used for creating, recording, mixing *music* supposed to be "musical?". It's a pretty ambiguous I think but that's the recording industry!

    • @014Marines
      @014Marines 9 місяців тому

      ⁠@@MoreMeRecordingfrom my understanding when someone uses the word “musical” to describe hardware. It’s usually an EQ, and how easy it is to use. Typically the EQ will be fixed at a certain frequency. And you’ll either boost or cut that frequency. Like a maag EQ4M. Another example would be a Neve or API. They give you multiple fixed frequencies so you can decide which one best suits the sound you’re looking for. In other words, the frequencies they choose for you to use will be “musical” in that you will either find frequencies that help cut masking/muddy frequencies (between 300hz to 700hz generally speaking) or bright/intelligible frequencies (between 2khz to 5khz generally speaking) While on the other hand something like SSL would be more of a “surgical” rather than “musical” EQ. Since you can sweep freely through the frequency range to cut or boost very specific frequencies. SSL also has more flexibility with the q band, allowing you to have a very narrow or wide bandwidth to effect the selected frequency. While on the other hand Neve and API being more “Musical” have an auto q band that will independently widen as you boost and narrow as you cut…
      Long story short, you’re given “musical” frequencies. If you like what you hear boost it. If you dont, cut it.

      ​@@MoreMeRecording first you must distinguish music from audio. All music is audio but not all audio is music. Lower end gear, like something for a podcast, is not designed to capture music, just audio. Higher end gear designed for music production, tends to have a uphonic sound quality. Simply running your tracks thru a musical sounding device will make your tracks stack in a way that let's the music come through. It is nuanced, but not that subtle.

    I say keep your vintage gear. I have regretted selling a 1971 and a 1974 100 watt Marshall heads. Thank God I kept my 1972 50 watt head. This all happened in the mid to late 80's. I know these are not the same thing as your vintage Neves but the concept is the same. Once they leave your position it will be hard pressed to get them back or something close to what you had. You can get Newton channels way easier. Besides there will be something new and you wish you had those. Keep your vintage pre-amps is my opinion.

    • @experiment0003
      @experiment0003 8 місяців тому +1

      I say SELL! I used to own a 1073 that was used primarily for tracking vocals (and occasional acoustic gtr). I bought a cheap Rupert Neve 5012 off eBay, and in a couple days of use/comparison, I sold the 1073. The 5012 doesn't have eQs, but I do all my eQing in the box, anyways. If I really need to eQ going in (unlikely), I have APIs and Sontec outboard that I can use. I purchased the Shelford channel a couple years ago too as my primary vocal track. I only use the 5012 as part of my mobile/travel setup now, but don't sleep on it. A 5012 that costs about $1000 rivaled my 1073 preamp section, in my opinion!!!

  • @KarlWinegardner
    @KarlWinegardner 11 місяців тому +8

    Not that you are looking for advice here, but here's my thought: Sell. Having several channels from which to track that are consistent across the board (pun intended) vs. two channels that sound different. I don't have a lot of studio-side experience, but from a live workflow, having consistent gear gets consistent results. Knowing how far you can push a knob to get what you want makes it faster to dial in. Of course, if you want to unload those channels I'd trade for the B3 I have... 😅

  • @chinmeysway
    @chinmeysway 11 місяців тому +3

    maybe have the 1073’s looked over - it’s prob just changing out a couple of caps or could replace lots of caps on both to have matched. but for tracking stuff really doesn’t need to match.

  • @henryhuynh2099
    @henryhuynh2099 11 місяців тому +4

    Jeremy you know nothing sounds like those Bae. Nothing. That’s the reason you got them. Everything 1073 can sound similar. But the body on that thing sounds thicker than any other 73. I have both 1084 and 1073. Dream come true. I’d say if you’re goin newer go shelford. You can get another VCA compressor (because newton comp is VCA) if you need.
    I think you would miss the BAEs if you sold. I know I would. It’s def my desert island pre.

    I think a lot of the value comes from what 1073 can do for you, not just monetary value. Yes, you would profit off of selling it for way more than you bought it for. But what an authentic ‘73 does to the sound is irreplaceable in some situations.

    I wasn’t able to listen critically to this video, but from what I could tell, the Newton sounded just as good if not better. The only place I felt the 1073 had the advantage was the 2nd one on the snare. The bass sounded just slightly fatter/rounder on 1073 but honestly it was more bottom than I’d use for a lot of mixes where the Newton had more low mid mojo on bass. The silk felt like it provided enough sheen to actually affect how I’d mix with it.

    this is just me, but I'd sell the vintage ones. Thing is. You can get a 1073 sound like, anywhere. There's no shortage of reissues and clones, and they all sound great. But having a whole bank of 4-8 full channel strips that give consistent results (and have compression)? That'd be worth it for me. But then again if I had the cash I'd be going for Shelfords 😜

      You know as well as I do these are just tools. I need tools that don't need repaired constantly, tools that I can depend on. If I can get an equally great result with a modern piece that's a fraction the cost, I'm going with modern every time.

But there are even better copies of it like BAE... plus old hardware components will soon die and when you service them they will not sound the same... newer components will change the sound of 1073 cause newer quality components will have less harmonic distortion etc. So sell them while you can at top price mate.
