Thank you!!

Thanks for listening

Thank you!

I'm aware of that now.

Thank you!

Nice! Thanks for the tip!

@@ManCaveStudio Also try vocals into the Serpent on blue channel them into One LA in limit mode. That One LA is sleeper just have to put something in front of it to get its full potential

Bass sounds great on IGS.

Thank you!

Gracias!

Thank you!

I am only using these modules for bass. I am sure I would have come to a different conclusion if I were using these for vocals.

​@@ManCaveStudioAh yes, I'd forgotten about the application. I've been having superb results on bass with a Pete's Place BAC500 for shaving peaks, but am considering running that in series with something smooth on the end - a Retro Doublewide or a Serpent Chimera perhaps.

@@AntisocialMediaMike I've heard great things about the Pete's Place compressor.

@@ManCaveStudio It's a beauty. Would like to swap it out for my 76 on vocals in front of the IGS 1LA but it's just so useful on bass that I haven't had the heart to do it. Really liking the look of your Wes Audio RHEA! I dunno man, so many boxes and so little time!😀

Thank you!

I haven't had any issues however someone did mention to me that there was a noise issue with the TG. If I crank the gain on my mixer the noise floor on the TG is not as quiet as my other compressors. I need to contact Chandler to see if there has been any updates on this.

Not sure what my phone video compression and RUclips compression algorithms are doing to the sonics but in person it sounds good to my ears. And I spent a lot of time calibrating that cartridge.

There is a meter letting you know if you are reaching it's power limit. So far I have never reached max power usage.

@@ManCaveStudio Even with the One La?

@@preciseaudioblog The One LA did not make the cut when I reviewed all the compressors so it didn't spend much time in the R10. All I can say is in the short time the One LA lived in the R10 there were zero power issues.

@@ManCaveStudio Good to know the 10 is reliable. Thank you 👍

Thank you for the compliment. I have only compared the double wide to a bunch of other 500 series compressors. But not to my 19” Gates Retro Sta-level “yet”

I have only done a direct comparison with the BAE 500 series and the rack version and I could tell no difference. At some point, I will compare the others. However I am coming from the mindset of portability, And this 500 series beats the standalone DI and portable pedal setup I was using prior.

@@ManCaveStudio I’m absolutely with you on that... the portability of 500 series is fenomenal... but I wouldn’t like to lose fidelity, if the case

Before the 500 series I would lug high end stand alone direct boxes and pedals to recording sessions. One day I decided to try the 500 series against my high end stand alone DI's and the 500 series was much much better. So for a portable solution the 500 series is as good as it gets. As far as the BAE "Neve" going into the Mercury 66 goes. The 500 Series Bae is just as good as the rack version however the Mercury 66 compressor is a 40lb 8 tube beast. The 66 sound has a lot of weight. I think trying to fit all of that into a 500 series module would be impossible. Maybe someone will try someday. In short the 500 series compressors sound amazing but the 66 is in a different league with a lot more weight to its sound.

@ManCaveStudio Thanks for the reply. I am not familiar with the 66 compressor, both rigs sound great. I enjoy your work and having been building up a home studio with my 4001 being my bass of choice and looking for that clean dirty mix. I really like the tones you are getting in both rigs.

Thank you!@@michaelcurnutt

Thank you!

The Retro is tube and the Chandler is solid state. Both sound different. Apples and Oranges. I think the low-end extension on the Chandler is deeper hence why I chose it for the channel focused on that spectrum however the Retro has that tube-based sound and I chose it for my dirty channel. They both complement each other.

Thanks! Musictech said that the TG Opto ate some of the low end. I guess they're not accurate in their reviews. Others have liked the TG Opto for bass. @@ManCaveStudio

Its a playback I recorded from CD to Reel to Reel.

I may have been mislead on that comment.

There is a higher noise floor and I've been meaning to address this with Chandler. I had no idea that this was a common issue. I will say that it's hardly noticeable when I'm tracking bass but it is there if you crank the gain and listen closely when not playing.

The drums came from a pre-recorded drum sample pack. :)

Thank you for the compliment. To answer your question, I usually buy blank ATR Magnetics reels and make my own mixes.

@ManCaveStudio gotcha Thank you so much for getting back to me I really appreciate it 🙂👍👍

One more question ​@ManCaveStudio when you record your own tapes do they come out in stereo or not because I've read they only record in mono or one channel. Thanks again.

@@Anth4044 Yes all tapes come out in stereo. It's no different than any other tape deck except with much bigger reels.

@ManCaveStudio Thank you for getting back to me I really appreciate that answer ya I must have read a wrong thread but you certainly answered what I was hoping to hear Thank you again 👍👍🙂

Amen

Thank you!

Thanks, brother!

Thanks!

The One LA 500. At least for bass it did not sound as good as the others to my ears.
