Superbooth 22: Doctron - Stimming's Instant Mastering Chain
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- Martin Stimming took time out from his techno and UA-cam duties to show off the tiny Instant Mastering Chain, a combination of an eq, a compressor and a drive stage.
It thickens and sweetens incoming signals, with British-style low and high-shelf EQ with dedicated bypass and VCA based bus compressor with feedback and feedforward detector paths giving different characters to the sound. It boasts a Lundahl (r) output transformer with drive and gain reduction knob, and sidechain send / return via 6,3mm stereo jacks. And it only weighs 990g.
Doctron - Stimming's Instant Mastering Chain available now.
Price: 2,500 euros

I'll take 2 my good sir!
Edit: $2500? I'll take none sir!
Lol! They had you in the first half, too.
Whenever I hear a developer using the word "magic", that's when I tend to lose interest.
Exactly. I wonder how much it costs him to make. Probably substantially less..snake oil?
I think you must see this as a compact SSL Fusion + Bus Comp. Quality compression, EQ and transformer saturation in one box. Small doesn't translate to cheap automatically.
@@aurexlive exactly. If they made it as a proper big 19” rack processor for studio use, the price would be considered quite normal for such a device.
Even in selling and demoing his own products Martin is really engaging and easy to watch him do his thing. I hope to meet the man some day. His enthusiasm is boundless.
My main suprise at superbooth yesterday..: Stimming is TALL!!! 😯
stimming is a great one! I trust the guy tastes
Cool stuff. I admire their excitement and the genuine pride they have for their labor of love. Also, Stimming will always be cool in my book. Such a layed back dude.
this could be a really great option for travelling mix/mastering engineers, and the price is very very good for mastering outboard where cheap (for mastering) gear is easily double the price of this unit, and that's for just one processor while this is two for the price of one. So in other words this is a fraction the price you could expect even from the most affordable mastering gear. Very cool and intriguing
Is $3100 USD cheap for something like this? Could I get an analog heat instead? Especially used? I suppose this is for pro studios.
I need analogue warmth in all my friendships, does this do that too?
I've never worked with seriously elite (> USD $10,000) gear but have owned a system made of stuff squarely in the "high-end" range (UREI/Teletronix/API, etc...). One thing I can say for sure is that when you start working with better gear in a good listening environment, it becomes immediately apparent why it costs more -- and to me it becomes apparent that it's worth the extra money for a tool you hear every day. (The original Mackie 1202 EQ is still one of my favorites regardless, but I digress. And of course great art is made with cheap tools all the time.)
For the right person, I feel certain that this is very reasonably priced. And not that it matters: but this guy seems genuinely humble and cool, and excited about what he's doing with his life.
His music is also pretty lovely.
Cool dudes - cool product !
Anything with the word KILO and I'm in, LOL. The Sweetheart of our World.
I like how it's now a "saturator" : ))
…because this thing is impossible to get to sound loud without audible distortion.
the term "Mastering Chain" is a bit misleading…
Especially in a live situation, where it needs to be able to handle a wide spectrum of potentially varying levels.
And while playing live, you'd generally be busy playing live, so you would need another person to constantly monitor and re-adjust those drive/threshold dials...
i really want to see this 64 vco modular playing bach:):):)
I'll have two of these and an OP-1 Field.
They're practically giving that op 1 away.
That's a lot of money to be locked in to a coloured sound especially with the 'Trident' EQ. Rather EQ in the rig and buy an Elysia Xpressor lunchbox for around 750Euro's for compression or even a 'Really Nice Compressor' FMR for around 350Euro's Both are highly regarded in the pro mastering world. Even the Zahl stereo EQ only costs 1800Euro's and is considered one of the best in the industry. It's small, it's made to order so I guess that has some value but there is much better for a lot less out there.
In all seriousness. Does sound good.
I want one. Extremely useful.
It better sound damn good for that price.
Trident EQ? Very nice, but I think that is kind of an acquired taste?
I'd buy it for the bag
Vs Analog Heat?
This.....
Versus Overstayer Modular Channel?
$2500??????? What????
For an automated opa amp with feedback circuit, based on open source circuit design. I mean 500 would have been ambitious, i dont see the hifi aspect, for a bit distotion and EQ ? Ok it has the mastering advertisment, that justifys for sure, all that gold and platinum in the litlle box.
I kinda want one just to impress clients.
Also to try on my bass guitar
One of the more interesting things at superbooth!
The “Stimulator”.
nuts? compression genre, sold!
Awesome! Just need to find 2Gs
I wonder how this compares to an Oto boom or an Elektron analog heat ?! where the content creators at lol please do this comparison hah
It's not meant to be cheap, it's meant to be portable AND professional. Is it worth $2,500? I have know idea, I ain't at that level 😅
edit: oh and it's made to order!
how much?????????????????????????????????????
-1 portable but gotta carry external psu
2,500 for playing out? OTO Boum it is then....
Really nice, Price not so much
2500! cheap! 🤣
master 5-10 album projects for clients and it has paid itself. It's not like a 2.5 million € investment for a harvesting tractor...
2500 🤣 your crazy stimming.
So get an OTO BOUM, got it.
Better yet, a Sherman Filter Bank.
does it have side chain?
@@whendoesthisend Oto Boum has a side chain jack in the back.
SHTIMMMMMMMMING🤣
looks like a car stereo 😀
i totally don't hear any difference when it is on / off 😂
Don’t listen on phone
@@Hellseeker1 listened on Senheisser HD650 .. definitely if there is some subtle difference it is not worth investing 2500 .. sorry
idk, DBX have much longer professional reputation on the market but their VCA compressors with similar features cost around 1/10 (10%) of price of this thing 😕
people complain so much about price like that means anything...he’s comparing it to a lunch box which is super expensive and you might buy more modules for it which will kill youre wallet. I mean look at a dangerous music compressor...it’s like at least that much and it’s just a compressor but it’s worth the money. A pro studio and field mastering device hand made by a super small company is in itself a reason to be excited about.
Are you comparing this guy with companies like API and Dangerous Music?? Ok.
A de luxe device for musicians, crafted in the old way of making things that will last a lifetime, not suitable for the modern day consumerist
More a fashion device for hipsters, crafted with greed in mind, not suitable for anyone with a working intellect.
@@ZenMountain Greed of what? It will be a miracle if they sell 50 units, the profit margin is irrelevant
@@LB-pp7pu "The profit margin is irrelevant". Listen to yourself... my dear child... do you actually believe that? Bless your heart.
@@ZenMountain Ok: there are many compressors or eqs etc in 19" format that cost around 2000 euros or more, this is nothing new, and most of the times they do 1 job. A TG12413 Zener Limiter costs more than 5000 euros, take a look of what's inside it, it's half empty and it's a design from the 60's. This device aims at combining a high quality compressor/eq/saturation circuit in that tiny format for travelling musicians, as far as I know there is nothing like this on the market. New products require time and work to be developed and work has to be paid, I'd never work for free so do most of the people. Plus, this product is made in Germany, not in China or in the Usa, and by 1 person, that also raises the cost because is not an automated construction. I don't need it and I'm not going to buy, this is not for me but it's a thing that has a purpose
People expect this to be 500? Lol
$800.
head phone jack on the back ?? er doh otherwise cool
It doesn’t sound that amazing and it is expensive. Plus Stimming is annoying
awwee... you think so? i find him charming.
Yes.
Stimming got me into hardware music creation in the first place. Love his style. This module is too expensive for me, but it's pro audio level anyway, i'm not there yet 😅
@@cymbolic_space1832 Yeah, clowns are charming.
@@ZenMountain I am more of a clowns are depressing kind of guy
Hope Behringer are watching.
