Do you think this catch peaks fast enough for rap vocals?

Do you happen to ever do Q&A/consultation sessions? You’re super rad about answering questions in the comments but I’d love to pick your brain a bit and don’t want to unfairly take too much of your time.

I think i might try this on my rap vocals mines kinda old school

Did I miss something ? I didn’t see you bypass on and off for comparison .

I definitely prefer the hardware with the better top end 🙂

very cool - I love it on drums

There’s nothing wrong with gatekeeping. There is no “right” to the finer things in life. If I want to earn lots of money to enable me to spend on a 9.4.6 movie experience in my living room, then that is totally ok. The fact that a poor person can’t afford what I can, is a “he” problem and not a “me” problem. If you want good stuff, you have to be more valuable to earn the necessary income to support it. If you are unwilling or unable to do that, you make do with less. It’s a little thing called “reality”. All men are NOT created equal. Some work harder and have better values than others. Those that do this get to have better and more enjoyable stuff. If you want to penetrate the kept gate, earn the money and buy the ticket.

Thanks so much man I just took the pro tools 101 exam(this was not on it😂) I was really getting into a mix when it happened. Life saver for real❤

I use these and feel like they bleed way too much to use for recording

Thanks for this video. I am going to get one :-) If you have to suggest another fast compressor to use with it, witch one fits better between retro176 and 1176 or similar in your opinion? thanks again

You forgot the Dachman mic ? Not sure where I can find Serrano 87 in the US market.

Im thinking of buying the Serrano vintage 87 matched pair for OH or ROOM mics, are you still impressed by that mic, and do you recomend it? how close do you think it is really to the original? Also, im surprised that there is not much videos about serrano mics on YT.

Great shootout, but i gotta ask, on the reveal video there is almost no white noise before the start of each take, but on the first video (blind test) i hear a lot of it on everz take. Why is that?

I'm glad I came across this video! L-Bus Gold was modeled after my SSL FXG384, and we managed to get within 0.1dB of peak level differences at -3dB compression (software vs. hardware). I even did a shootout with UAD, and at the time, it was surprisingly close to Tim P's plugin and my hardware unit. I did prefer the hardware, but for ITB solutions, you cannot go wrong with L-Bus! Great video-thanks for sharing!

Your comments seem more targeted to audiophile. I think it is a much larger consideration for movie experiences

Hello, I really wonder how it compares with the latest best ssl audio plg-ins ?? Anyone had the opportunity to compare ??? Thanks for sharing your experience Cheers Ed

Looks like my link was erased. Just search for Listen Pro Ear Pads on the big auction site. They are like $13 and change each. Knowing Focal, they probably want $50-$70 and you'll wait forever for them.

Per your request, here are the Ear Pads that I bought. I bought 3 pair of these and also a pair of the black vinyl type. The only notable difference is that the Pads aren't Labled L or R like the originals. Of course the left side is the side with the cord.

Man who cares about the compressor, the songwriting and singing is on point, kudos.

I think they really missed the boat not being able to use the THD along with either the comp or limiter.

Did I ever mention here, there are cheap replacement ear cups from Asia. Yeah you'll wait a bit for them. but they will come. And they are beautiful replacements from the Bay. They even have a black vinyl type cups also, They are easy to remove, but an SOB to replace. Take time and patience, these cheap replacements fit perfectly in all respects exactly like the originals.

I so agree with you on everything you said... The benefit just doesn't justify the hassle! For cinema okay maybe, but who listens to music on 5.1 setups at home? Why would it be different for atmos? I really think there' a conceptual problem with the immersive sound dream: In real life we've always experienced music as listeners, from a distance... Standing in the middle of a string quartet or a rock band just doesn't sound as good than from a distance from the spectator position. Every instrument we ever did was done with this objective... For music specifically I really think the 2 speaker set up is the best possible way to reproduce the spectators experience for us two eared species :3

For a long time I was a pure stereo listener, but now I use an Atmos/Auro3D setup (5.4.4) more for music than for films. On the one hand, the offering on Apple Music has increased significantly, and on the other hand, the Auro3D upmixing is also great (both for 5.1 films and for stereo music). Even when the effects aren't used as heavily, the 3D mixes create an atmosphere where the stage goes well beyond what's possible with stereo - both in width and height. Precise instruments and vocals are then placed into this rather diffuse background. It's hard to describe, but I really like it. I think the problem here is that many will never experience this level of sound quality. Unfortunately, the marketing hype suggests that a soundbar can replace 7 or more speakers through magical reflections, which is simply not true. But whatever, I hope the hype stays. :-)

I had mic c>mic e>mic a>mic d>mic b.... I was almost sure of c being the vintage and a being the ai, it has that recognizeable himid boost, but i'm really surprised that the serrano was so good. In other videos i wasn't that much of a fan. Also have to say i didn't really care for the ai so there's that...

bruh how you gonna do an engineering mic shootout and have the worst sibilance of all time essess in the video smh

Thank you for this. I ran into this issue today - had no idea iLok licences were stored on the actual computer! Have requested the release, and have emailed EastWest directly too in the hope they can help. This is seems very convoluted for 2024?! Cheers Josh.

Sounds descent. I recently heard the current telefunken c12 @ AES being very clear & natural without the sizzle on the top & was wondering how any of the beesneez offerings compared. Is a hz graph provided?

The sound character of this unit is amazing. Gotta have one someday.

I think to my ears (and what the youtube can give back in sound quality) , the most natural sound is the Vintage U87, absolutely the best. The second is the newest U87ai, natural, but like a bit modern. Than the WA87, it is the warmest to my ears (i have too a WA87 and love it). The BeesNees i think i heard some digital, modern sound or i cant descript it. The Serrano after the Vintage U87 sound like a cheap clone/fake mic.

Love this video. Watched it several times. Loving the sound of the Focusrite. Seems like the one you have with both transformers is the sought after one. Have you heard the Focusrite 3 without the two transformers? Is having both transformers worth it or does the other one sound as good? Thanks so much and take care

Thank you so much for your videos. Just a question. Are you usually use this gear during recording or after that in the mixed track, so you can explore different characters?

what if it says plugin not present but its a plugin you have?

Really adds a lot of presence / dimension.

This iLOK thing is somewhat complicated and bring a lot of confusion. I have downlaoded a free AIR Music plugins/instruments (Hybrid, Mini Grand, Velvet) as a bundle for AKAI MPK Mini. In iLOK manager owner is not registered. If I was to return the keybaord or sell it to someone else, is it worth taking ownership of the license here and then deactivating it? This is all so confusing and I see that a lot of people are not certain what to do. Thnx.

This vs RS124; you can pick a pair of either for mixing 🤔 what is your pick?

protools 2024 is doing this on my newly built pc. I usually quit and re open protools to fix. def going to try this! thank you!

I 100% agree with this in the the case of Music Atmos mix scene. But in Cinema Business its different. Either in practicality.

This Retro STA Level or the Audioscape V-Comp+? Is there a difference? Special for Vocals. Have you used the STA with a nother comp? What is Your Favorit (also combinations) for Vocals?

omg I was losing my freaking mind because I'm using pro tools for school and I'm on a deadline and just holding shift and nothing else restored it to full working and opening it without instantly saying its not responding thankyouthankyouthankyou

Have you heard any tube stereo compressor better

Very nice shootout! Coffee is very impressive for a plugin.

My favorite vocal compressor

nice mic, i like how the mic is capturing transients and not more of the tone.

What a cool studio and engineer! It takes sand to make and share comparison videos like this. Thank you! - btw I heard that CLAs bluey had a backwards attack pot - and black lion went with it. Fast attack hard left fast release hard right

When I tried Dolby Atmos, with my IEMs, I thought, is this a joke? It sounded so much worse than the Stereo mix, that the sound was quieter, more far from me, and like it comes from a hole. Also the experience was a little bit different with other devices, but it was similar. Why don't more artists make Binaural Recordings?! Like, the simple, real Binaural Recording sounds so much realistic, like Dolby Atmos is aiming to sound. Maybe Dolby Atmos sounds better on other devices, but it definetly didn't sound right with my devices. I was excited, but only to later conclude that Dolby Atmos is just too expensive and not realistic, but natural, real Binaural Recordings are the way to go.

Uncompressed sounded the best to me 🤷‍♂️ followed by the hardware. The plugins emulated the effect of the compression reasonably well but I can’t say the quality of the sonics and musicality are as good.

Hello. Did you got the version 2 of this BU67? I just got mine. Sounds really good. I am surprised. My only remarks are about the foam between transformer and tube socket, some piece of paper (sticker) placed somewhere between the circuit board and the frame and use of a wire instead of a collar to fix the tube. I belive this should be improved as the mic is designed to be opened often for using those switches. Would be a pitty to not improve those things considering it sounds fantastic.

Duuuuuude!!!
