    Wes Audio KILLS it on literally everyting they build. I have ths ngBus comp, the Rhea vari-mu, the Premetheus, and the Beta 76 and ALL of them sound better than mostly everying else I own. The Premethues and Rhea especually sound amazing,. Im not surpsied this sounds as good as it does.

    Hey. I'm a Sydney based producer. I'm often struck by how similar your thinking and methods are to mine. Not identical of course, but quite similar in thinking and approach. I do learn things from your content, and find it augments my own thinking, which is great. Keep up the good work mate! Also I really dig how you've got Bella in the thumbnails sometimes.

    Learning lots of things just by watching the chan, thanks David! I come from acoustic performance, but never really fine tuned my tracking/mixing/mastering skills. Definitely one of the best youtube channels out there! OK, I come from a classical/jazz background and have another kind of vibe, but the in-depth knowledge and clear, logical explanations are easy to follow.
    E poi è bellissimo vedervi insieme! Avete quel look dark/punk/ tatuaggi etc. ma siete dolcissimi! Non posso che augurarvi il meglio!

    There are many companies that aim for the classic 73 sound.
    This probably the best 500 series of the neve sound I've ever heard! Great demonstration 👍

    LOL, I was looking into this today and off course you have a video about it released today. My eye fell on this one and the CAPI FD312, now it's time for my ears to choose. ... I want some pre's for my synths. Thanx

    • @mixbustv
      @mixbustv  2 роки тому +1

      This is PERFECT for driving line signals, the video does not does it justice on how good the saturation sounds when driven

  • @emiel333
    @emiel333 2 роки тому

    Wow, this pre amp sounds very good! I love it when I hear the analog saturation, noise and harmonic distortion. As you know, I mainly work ITB. But there isn’t any plug-in that can reach the same level of quality. And that’s logic because of the high end transformers and Class A inside this lovely pre amp. What I also like (and more and more manufacturers do this), is that this analog pre amp has plug-ins for the DAW. Hybride! Great 👍 video, David and Bella.

    Sounds great! I gotta say I like having some highpass filter options in my preamps, and this one doesn't seem to have one.

    • @mixbustv
      @mixbustv  2 роки тому

      Nor the 1073, or the 512 or any of the most used preamps in the industry since the dawn of recording. You usually have HPF's on the mic, if you don't, that's not a problem either since you should capture everything anyway and then HP later

    • @dat_chip
      @dat_chip 2 роки тому

      Fair point. I just like the sound I get from having the highpass filter *before* the saturation that comes from input trafos and/or tubes. I guess I should stick to mics that have a HP filter for that. :)

    Yea, that’s really cool that you can control and save the settings through the plugin. It sounds nice and agree it paired really nice with the SM7. Is it an SM7 or SM7B? Curious, what headphones are you wearing?

    Hello respected sir, i have a question, sometimes you hear some elements in some songs at the top bottom corner of your left or right ear. How do they get that ??? Panning juts moves it left or right but how do you tilt it up and down in one specific channel (left or right)

      Word from the wize:
      DO NOT use CloudLifter with the Shure SM7/B mic. It adds (what it's supposed to do) dB gain, but it increases THD significantly and trying to get it out without compromising the vocal quality is almost impossible so yeah.
