I've been using the sonic maximizer on kick and snare for a long time now. Its adds punch and clarity. I love the newer aphex aural exciters on toms as well. Very subtle
I interned at blackbird and got to mix a little bit in the a room. We put the kick and snare thru the transient designer then hit them with the sonic maximizer!
I have a mixer and it has a patch bay. Im going out the mixer into my analogue filter Unit and out of it going into the gate compressor limiter and out of that into back in the mixer. Now my question is where do i put this Unit? Before the compressor limiter gate or after to rebrighten after the compressor. Which is the correct way? Or more correct. My guess is before the compressor limiter gate in order to keep system balanced but i might be wrong.
It depends, putting it before the compressor will make it a bit smoother and any eq changes you make will effect the compressor. Putting it after the compressor will make it typically brighter and have more bass but a bit less controlled. There's really no wrong way, more of just what you prefer
The low contour is a +12 dBu boost at 50 Hz (not 80 Hz) and the maximum process is a +12 dBu boost at 5 K (not 7 K). I own one of those. But nice demo anyways. Greetings. Ruud.
I'm late to the party, but if used on live drums, I'm a bit confused on hooking mics to the unbalanced inputs and then the outputs back in to the interface. Any suggestions?
Very nice demo, the raw live tracks were very good to begin with, I’m amazed at that. But adding the BBE really made it cut thru to give you that extra bit of sweet sauce that I liked. Have you tried adding this to a drum buss for the entire kit? I’d like to see what that sounded like. Maybe a drum buss excluding hats and OHs. Anyways what’s you signal path/chain for kick and snare. Like mics, preamp, console, I’m very curious Rock on!
Hard to tell on my computer speakers, (I'll play this video through my studio monitors later), but I do know that the Aphex Aural Exciter units work extremely well, so I would guess these do as well, even though a slightly different process my understanding is... Phil NYC Area
Like the idea, it seems to enhance also the hi hat, maybe from the spill in the snare mic. Where do you insert this effect? Befor or after the main eq and compression?
Hi, do you think that BBE 482i would help improving solo vocals / voiceovers? And if yes, how can I utilize it for the low frequencies assuming that I apply high pass filter at 80Hz on my preamp? Thanks in advance!
Good question! I have never used it on a vocal before but i will definitely try it out and make a video on it! Using the high pass filter is a must on vocals but the BBE will treat the lows differently due to it's frequency curve. Do you own a BBE 482i?
TrueSoundStudios , thanks so much for your interaction with your followers :) really nice! Currently i'm not owning that piece of gear but thinking if it will improve my work (I do only voiceover & solo vocals) I will definitely buy it. That's why I'm curious to know how would it treat human voice :)
Haha i know! When i first got my film lights it made everything behind me look fake. It is also due to the "depth of field" effect that happens on a DSLR camera that blurs out things that aren't in focus! Thanks for watching!
When it is ‘out’ it’s still colors the sound in a bad way. That was one of the sales techniques they used to use in the 90’s. Turn it off and it sounds like crap. Then turn in on and magically sounds good,
Wow! I’m actually surprised how good this sounded! You read so much folklore on forums about how these will destroy your mix or instrument sounds and how they sound like shit. This proves otherwise!
Guitarist tries this as a insert on his guitar effects insert loop. Cranks both Lo Contour and Process dials. “This sounds like shit.” DJ cranks Lo Contour and Process dials. “See. That’s how you get a pro sound.” True stories.
the mix sounds horrible on iPhone speakers... better with headphones but still pretty bad... perhaps that was intentional to show the kick snare ? like the bbe on guitars as well.
Yeah i mean you can't judge a rough mix for a product demo video on an iPhone. There's no way to accurately hear whats changing. But yes this is a video showing what the BBE does on the kick and snare and the mix has been changed to hear the drums more. Maybe you have never recorded live drums but those first 2 examples are how drums really sound without doing the full processing. Thanks for watching!

Huge improvement on the kick
I have an older BBE 462. Kinda excited to put this on kick and snare now..
very detailed explanation, subbed!
LightBlazeMC thank you, I appreciate that
@@TrueSoundTV no worries! keep up the great work!

Nice mixing desk.. Got the little brother gl300 and its already such a huge thing

BBE 482i what are u using TRS balance input output or TS unbalance???
Can i use this also to my toms and floor toms?
No this is just for kick and snare.
@@Methanol2000 thanks
@@TheDrsoundz no it’s not just for kick and snare. You can try it on the toms and see how it sounds.
I jave the 882i. Were there any improvements?
I remember seeing a clip showing that the bypass button is not a true bypass? Is that true?
TIGRE310 not sure why you would bypass it.
@@maximuslongrod6361 if you had it in an effects chain that had multiple purposes, you might have to bypass it when you're using a different rack unit
Hey that's my song!

Rock on!
What about toms?
Haven't tried that on this unit yet. I'll have to try that one day
Does this unit have the ability to brickwall limit ?
So no it's not a limiter or compressor and won't do that. Think of it as more of an EQ! Thanks for watching!

Did you record this with mic's ? I am new to all this. Thanks.
Yes all recorded with mics
I thought Blackbird uses the 882i.......
Can't really notice the diff you hav to be there to here it
It looks so much like you're standing in front of a green screen.

McBride...records with $30,000 mics...then processes it with a $100 transistor distortion box in a rack 😂😂😂

Mix sounds not bad on my home studio
lol
IPhone suck that's why.
the song sucks bypassed and not bypassed
Cool
There's other videos for composition.
