I gotta say I’m blown away by warm audio. I think I might have to consider myself a fan boy now. All their clones sound amazing, pres, comps, eq, and all their mics. They even started making guitar stuff like pedals and di boxes. They also make the nicest looking cables on the market hands down. Warm audio gold.
I wouldn't say amazing. They are ok for entry level hardware. I've owned the EQs and 1176. The 1176 sounded like dog shit. I now own the purple mc77 and a real UA 1176LN. And there is absolutely no comparison when you hear them next to each other. The warm 1176 is more like a saturation box. The eq's sound "ok". Again. I own numerous other pultecs (audioscape, wes audio, goly, D'Anca ) and there is no comparison. Especially with the D'Anca. But you can't buy a D'Anca unfortunately because it's a unicorn. It's a handmade Italian pultec that I had to do a voltage conversion on. But like I said. The warms are mediocre against higher priced ones. Against a real OG pultec they sound amateur. But if you are just starting out buying hardware and don't have a few grand to drop then yes. By all means. The bus comp isn't bad at all. There 1073 pre isn't bad either. But stay away from that 1176
@@johnwalter6410 Hey John, how this Warm EQP really compares to the AudioScape counterpart? I'm tempted to get the AS ones but they have to be shipped overseas (I live in France) but I can get the WA one directly here in EU... is a real huge difference considering the AudioScape ones are slightly expensive? Let me know your thoughts please. Thanks!
@@PereRevert The Audioscape versions are a little better, and they're a little closer to my actual Pultec branded EQs. The Warm Audio EQ is still really nice, and I own two pairs of them. I use the Warm EQP on tracking and mixing just as much as I use my name brand Pultecs. The WA-EQP just has less headroom than Audioscape or the originals. That's not a deal breaker for me, not at all. I just have to pad the DB on Warm's a little if I'm trying to push them really hard in terms of input volume. I have other $3,000+ hardware units and EQs that I also have to pad the input so I can control the harmonic distortion in a way that I like it to be.
I don't buy clones because I think they're identical to the originals. My originals don't sound exactly like other originals. I buy clones when I like how they sound independently on their own, without comparing them to anything else.
@@legacyShredder1 got it man! Thanks for your transparent and helpful reply. Kind regards from France!
@@PereRevert You're welcome. Be careful taking advice from people online and in person, including me, about gear. The guy above you, John Walter, said WA76 comp sounds like dog shit, and I'm sure he's 100% right that they don't work for him in his case in the way he wants to use them. I have a few WA76's and multiples of the original Urei 1176. Some WA products work great for me and a lot of other people. Who is right? Me and all the other people or John Walter? We're all equally right, including John Walter. We all use these pieces of equipment very differently from one another with different thresholds and infinitely different variables. I don't know what's right for you, because I'm not you. I don't know what you consider to sound great.
Keep that in mind, and make some killer music that you like.
Great video bro, sounds incredible and has been on my list for a while, love the quality they have for their units. Also subscribed
Warm does make some really good gear!!!!
I'm all about analog gear!!
Thanks for the review Fluff!
man this is the first video with this unit that sounds like it's supposed to sound. I don't know what the other people are doing. Good job.
Sounds amazing
The eq and WA76 are on my list to get next. I got their TB12 and di box and I love them.
Best Review on UA-cam till now 👌
I've yet to find how to set up a warm audio bus compressor, as soon as I figure it out I'm making a video and saving millions of people a headache, cool video
You should be able to route the kick to a mono track instead of stereo btw. There's usually a way to do that with VSTs. That way you can process as per normal micd kick - mono.
Would this even be an issue if you record a real kick?
I have two of the EQPs on my mix bus and I've been very happy so far!! Solid purchase.
Running them to an SSL G Comp MKII and Looptrotter Sa2rate 2. Great results!
Nice! We have similar gear on the mixbus. Kahayan solid 4000, ssl gcomp mk3, 2 eqp-wa and 2 neve 542 ;) As i wrote in my comment, i need to set my 2 eqp-wa differently so they match better, do you need to do this as well?
@@aleknostar what do you mean match better? Like balanced in stereo? If that's it then I just used a test tone and used the gain adjustment on the back of each to get them to back and have been good since.
@@AtTheSourceStudios No, so the eq curves match. I did the test tones and calibrated the 2 units with the eq bypassed before testing the eq curves. Go read my comment in the main section, i explain it in more details.
Who noticed a cool ‘widening’ effect that the WA-EPQ’s has even when the eq section was bypassed?!
Even in bypass since it’s a Discrete unit it still affects the audio going through it to some capacity.
it's probably cause he's using 2 mono analogue units, each unit will give slight variations to the sound that will enhance the stereo effect
It didn’t get wider, like at all. It just got louder, Fletcher Munson effect
Oh shit!!!!! Gear!!!!
Thank you so much for this great video 👍🏽
I wanted to achieve the same results like you. So I bought two wa eqp‘s and try to connect them.
Here I have a question:
How do you connect two mono Wa Eqp‘s into one Stereo Bus? I’m using Cubase 11pro and as I inserted the two devices the stereo field was completely wrong.
Is this the only way to separate the stereo in two mono tracks and set then the wa eqp‘s into each of this tracks?
I would be so nice if you could give me and also and another guest here on the page a tipp, how we can be successful here.
Thank you 🙏
Thank you for the video
Are these units still working for you?
I was looking at getting these but I keep hearing 100’s of horrible stories of these units malfunctioning
Duuuuuude... Just came across your channel and I love it! Subbed and belled. Question: I'm looking at getting the EQP-WA myself. Is it possible to run 1 EQP-WA on a stereo mix as a hardware insert if both the EQ and interface have TRS in and outs?
It's a mono unit
Great video! Do you set the 2 eqp-wa + bus comp at the start or the end of the mix usually?
I have 2 eqp-wa on my 2 bus and love them. But i got to say that after some testing with plugin doctor, to match the eq curves from both units i needed to set them differently. For exemple boost 1.5 @ 60hz on one unit and boost 2 the second unit. Just be aware of this. Btw, yes i calibrated both unit (without the eq engaged) with a sine wave using the screws on the back before testing the curves with plugin doctor.
Helpful, I wonder if one of the units just has a defect? Wonder if wa would help you out there. 1/2 dB is a lot.
Audio Acustica vst Pultecs would have got the job done for you.
@@lightafluident.9950 Huh?!
Did he move???
What patchbay are you using!? Thank you in advance! Great channel
wow, the intro music in 2x velocity is fffffffffffffffffffffffff* as hell
He’s right, it’s true.
Great video man, I just got me a pair of the warm EQ and I also use Logic Pro, can someone tell me how to connect and route them so that I can use them for the mix bus?Thanks
I have the same questions 😃 did you found a solution ?
What audio interface are you using?
Secrete Sauce Boss
Is that a Topo Chico shirt ?! 😯
Very moist
BUC-EE!!!!!!
So if i wanna use this EQ on a mixbus i have to buy 2 unit ? 😅
What drum samples are you using?
Supongo que esa batería es Virtual, un V Ste no? No creo que hayas conseguido ese sonido con esa marca si eso fuera cierto me declaraba ISO facto inmediatamente cliente de Word audio pero creo que no, que no es una batería real por lo tanto esos plugins de batería ya están perfectos ya vienen con un nivel de procesamiento alucinante ojalá podáis todos traducir esta reflexión al inglés gracias un saludo Pedro desde España posiblemente después de Quincy Jones el segundo mejor productor del mundo
Notification Squad!
every time you engage EQ fully the music hits a more intense part drum wise. Its actually difficult to hear/compare what its doing.
I have a question. Why do people put some kind of damper on the headstock above the nut? Do new guitars require damping, or is it just a gas? I've been playing guitar for 50 years and never had any need for a damper on the strings above the nut. I understand that some Floyd Rose systems make a rattling noise from the springs under the bridge but have no idea why people are putting a damper wrap on the headstock. Any answers for the wrapping would be appreciated.
From what I understand, it's basically just to keep the strings behind the nut from freely ringing out and adding anything to the sound. Obviously wouldn't make huge difference in anything other than very high gain situation. Kinda keeps things tighter and whatnot.
@@jordanmiller9486 I kinda thought it was something like that. I don't down tune so I didn't know what the reason was.
It’s because kids these days don’t work enough on their technique. Part of good playing is muting the strings you don’t want to ring but they skipped that lesson.
is that a Buckeys Tshirt from down in Texas?
Yes
Thats a great drum track . All elements are working . It’ s a hardon . from me
would they work well for mastering?
Use Acustica Audio VST Pultecs. Best thing out there. For two hundred bucks you get like several different versions of the Pultec.
How come when you engage the transformer there's no increase in volume? Mine increase a lot when engaging the transformers.
Try balanced cables
Once I build a new computer I'm going to buy Acustica Audio's Pultec suite they have for 200 bucks. You get several versions of the Pultec, and Acustica make some of the "realest" sounding plugins on the planet.
I’ve got nebula and purple. They’re good, but you can’t drive them in the same way as I can my hardware… not even close. At nominal levels, they sound great though.
When you put the bus comp on the entire mix, do you just put an insert on your master bus channel? In other words, how are you feeding the entire mix to the comp and back into your DAW?
Yep thats exactly right
Plugins can't compare to these clones... I'm gonna shell out some cash near
first
