"In addition to six of Focusrite's legendary mic pres, two of Liquid Saffire 56’s eight preamps feature third-generation Focusrite’s Liquid Pre amp technology, providing the choice of ten different authentic-sounding preamp emulations. These include emulations based on the Neve 1073, the Pultec MB-1, Telefunken V72 and seven other classic designs. A harmonics dial on each Liquid preamp lets you emulate variance in vintage originals of the same model, or use levels of 2nd, 3rd and 5th harmonics creatively to shape your sound."
This video contains short audio clips of an acoustic guitar being recorded through each of the preamp emulations the Liquid 56 is equipped with.
The only thing that changed between clips is the preamp emulations, no gain adjustments were made and the microphone placement remained the same through out recording.
The only effect used on the audio is a WAVES L1 limiter, bringing the level up.
really useful. Thanks for posting.
angrybonbon thanks for watching!
I like the red
top merci !
How do you like the Preamps in 2020? How this interface stand against a RME Fireface 800? or Motu firewire interface? Does it work perfect in Mojave OS? Thank you for your demo.
Hello - Good evening - Could you help me with the following problem. I have the Saffire Interface 56 - I need to use an external compressor to make the I / O connection. Connections: OUT 3 of the interface to IN of the compressor - IN of the compressor to OUT 3 of the Interface.
DAW used Logic Pro X - Is there any specific binding to do in Control MIX?
I really can't hear the difference. I have the Liquid Saffire 56 and haven't been able to hear a difference. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
What are you monitoring through?
The changes between the preamp models are very subtle, and the changes will be more noticeable with certain microphones and on certain instruments.
I have the same Interface, and used it with a neumann u87 on vocals and acoustic guitar and found the emulations to be pretty variable in sound. I found it most noticeable on vocals where some emulations had pretty ''extreme'' differences when it came to compression.
So i found some emulations useful for making some stuff cut through thick arrangements, and i really felt that they gave the vocals a very different sound in general, so i could use on for rock/metal and another one for a ballad. things like that. The interface is currently dead, and have been so for 5 months or so : ( but i will get i repaired. Dont want such a good device left for dead.
Bjørnar Frantzen Bjørnar Frantzen completely agree, a good mic into this will help highlight the subtle changes in the preamp emulations. I really like the Manley Slam for vocals in a dense mix! Glad I'm not the only one who hears a difference!
Any recommendations for what modulation fits best with different instruments? Eg. What would you use for vox and acoustic and bass and lead guitar??
what is the best preamp of saffire 56, for voices? hiphop
Lesslies Moresoul Depends. First, what microphone are you using? Are you wanting a really clean crisp sound, or a bit of a dirtier thick sound?
@@michaelrobertson6284 many thanks for u time sir, I use a SPARK SL blue microphone, i want a classic sound.. i think i want, I need a voice with presence and clean, but that sits with a bit of saturation, the instrumental on which it will be sung, is a guitar with jazz touches
Lesslies Moresoul Blue Spark SL is a fun mic for sure. I find it’s got a bit more bottom/less hyped top that a lot of mics in its price bracket. Personally I’d do a verse using the Manley, the 1073 and the Helios. Slap some processing on and see what works best. The Manley will have a brighter clearer sound, whereas the 1073 and Helios will do nice things to the mid range!
I use Telefunken and Universal for that kind of vocals
Hmm. So, whats the point? All this "subtle difference" we can make with an EQ.
FNK Yes and no... you probably could achieve some of the results using EQ after the fact... but in the real world the recording business is about getting results quickly. Why spend time tweaking an EQ when you can press a button and have the tone you’re after without using any plug ins? It’s more of a workflow thing I guess.

In addition, each amp modifies the dynamic envelope of the sound (attack, decay, sustain, and release) by applying different types of compressions. It's not all EQ, guys
low cut. is all ill say
The purpose of this video is to show the difference between the preamp emulations in the Focusrite Liquid preamps. No EQ has been applied on purpose, so the sounds of the different preamps can be compared.
