Can’t believe I’m first to say this but the song and music is the real star.. vocals and all the guys did such a good job making these boxes sound good, probably would have sounded nice on a 57 thru a bellari..
I’m with you. That song was fantastic.
I liked the format used when tracking with the ssl six 500 . The engineer talks about the tracking process. Its very apealing
Beautiful song and voice
very very nice units from API and the track was a nice arrangement. Possible Hit Song
Memories of my old TL Audio Ivory series 5052.
The 'Select' label denotes a lower model. It's replacing the JDK or whatever that green line was called.
VK. Thanks for the video. Please provide your honest professional opinion along with real experience and we will gladly buy from you. SW is probably on a downward spiral after being bought out so now is your time to shine!
This is like a miracle. On my shopping list
The units sound wonderful. Hoping you guys can do another comparing them to solid state counterparts. Would love to hear Keys/Synth and Bass guitar going into the T12 and something like a API 512 or stock interface preamp and similar comparisons.
Nice song
Great song! Would have preferred you showed the settings on the T12 and the T25 for each instrument.
great song!
Great sound and great demo… but once in a while I would like to hear some freaking hard rock voice to try out this wonderful stuff 😎
Noooo…. Don’t like spandex pants music
Straight Fire
NIce song, lads.
Would you tell me your T25 settings? Thank you in advance.
These looks weirdly like mid 90s TL Audio boxes
Very odd
Yeah.. not a fan of the aesthetics at all... bit gimmicky with the tubes showing...
WE LOVE YOU API!!!! ANy 500 Series tube coming??
gears aside, kinda digging that T-shirt...
DANG
Where the 500 Series tube mic pre? Just rack gear?
surely API not doing TUBES!!!! I thought they were the Anti-Tube, you know, from Revelations 5:23!?!?
The scripture you’re thinking of is Psalm 69.
Why did api stole the spl goldmike mk2 front look?
The t25 is not good for the mix buss unless you don't use the compressor
These kind of demos are kinda useless if there’s no other control or benchmark to compare against.
Yeah...
I think that's the problem dude. People spend WAYYY to much time comparing 2 pieces of gear like the most subtle difference is going to matter to the average listener. This wasn't a comparison video. It's a video showing what you should/could expect using these 2 pieces of gear.
@@RipperFromYT yeah but if people are going to spend a premium on a microphone preamp or a hardware compressor compared to say software then the out to themselves to see if they are getting value.
FIRST
These units sound thick, and not in a good way
