thanks for the tip!

I don't share this opinion that mix bus should be your first approach. The fact is that in the box offers plenty of what we need for every stage of the audio processing tasks we know and love, with one glaring hole that nobody talks about. Headroom. Everything in the PC is subject to the headroom of whatever audio converter you chose. Since all those things are designed to do is create inputs and outputs to your computer, that leaves no extra headroom for true analogies recording. Ever wonder why the gain know gives so much on those older preamps? Because the larger the picture we take with our camera, the more detail it captures. The preamps of am audio IO are not sufficient to the task and they never will be. You can get a better than average recording if you have all the other pieces in place, but that one huge problem in the chain can never be undone. Once the choice was made to record with only this much headroom to begin with, that's all you'll ever have to work with. Turning it up later will still be in the domain of what was captured with that smaller threshold. Front end should be the starting point. And Vintage flavor should only be chosen if going out and buying several to choose from. Several styles will be needed to create that analog separation of tone that adds so much that we like, but with one good modern external pre, plugins can add the character to each individual track afterward.

i have gone through almost the same, but I ended up using a drawing tablet. I think that for me it is a lot more precise than any mouse or trackpad, and also very ergonomic. it`s like holding a pen

I am researching a good setup for myself and it looks something like this: -Black Lion Audio Seventeen -Art pro VLA II -Behringer Exciter -IGS audio 825EQ -Tegeler Varitube compressor VTC -SPL vitalizer -Erica Synths Zen Delay -Herritage Audia LANG PEQ-2 Equalizer -Black Lion Audio PG-2 Type-F (for power) -the t.racks Power 8 IEC VA (also for power) I own a Presonus Quantum HD8 interface and I already have a SSL Fusion.

Sure thing!

I followed everything, then reached the Keyboard Maestro part and you lost me completely

Interesting!!

Tracking = analog Effects and mixing = itb hybrid Mastering = otb hybrid

Great video. I am the target audience for this. You make me think differently. I started with an apollo twin. Great unit, but i didnt like it because i became aware that it wasn't a great AD/DA converter. I considered the purchasing order in the opposite direction. I started with and rme card for the computer to get into AES and avoid usb or thunderbolt. Then I got a high quality 8 channel AD/DA converter. Then on to getting a stereo analog preamp pair. Then good mics. As soon as I had that my ability to record well exploded. I then got an Avocet and a pair of focal monitors...again awesome. Except the preamps, I don't consider that I have made any investments in analog gear so here I am watching your video. Do I get compressors and EQs for my preamp so I can print the best possible tracks, or do I invest in mastering gear for the mix bus? Does this change your opinion? What do the input outputs look like for mastering gear? Basically I don't understand how to efficiently go from computer to gear to computer to my Avocet. Too many options.. paralysis by analysis...

apollo x 16? wtf, with an apollo x6 you has 16 x 22 simultaneous inputs/outputs !

Hey Thanks for the video, can this mouse do pinch zoom to zoom in and out in Ableton or cubase sessions? I think the mx3 can do that? im currently using apple track pad but im looking for a mouse that can pinch zoom within the Ableton session. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)

Hardware a bit more open but actually all sounds good even dry on my bose quiet comforts through RUclips. Please supply file links to get around RUclips audio mangling.

9:16 hardware not only affects sound (in good/bad ways), but also workflow. There's something to be said for not having to tab between windows, and use the mouse for every interaction. 😄

Could you revist this and demonstrate how you would open/close plugins independently with a midi controller that has several available buttons?

That would be awesome 🙂. I also aksed the support for UAD native support. Hopefully they did it and possibly other plugins also. Fingers crossed 🙂.

Anal gear more useful that analog gear.

Audioscape Engineering analog gear seems like good bang for the buck. I own their Buss Comp.

I love NEOLD 2A I will buy it asap

Faster doesn't matter. Funner, more satisfying, tactile and ear dependency is more like it.

Does this mean I must have to buy a Keyboard Maestro to use this method?

i started with plugins now im hybrid which is the way to go keep in mind having high quality converters will speed up mixing as it removes that dull sqaushy sound its like lefting the blanket away you can heat the plugins like reverbs work better translation works better cheap interfaces will make you work harder and longer you want to make fast decisions my current gear is a neve summing board a maag eq4m dangerous compressor im also building my own compressor using high quality parts my music now sound amd hold up like major releases it takes lots of work and training

Thank you, my thoughts on this issue simply coincide word for word with the opinion you voiced. There is no doubt anymore, I plan to purchase a Warm Audio Bus-Compressor as my first rack-mount and analog device!

They did an incredible job with this one. A much better job than they did with the CL1B Mk2. I am so tempted to buy this although I already have Titanium... hmmmmmm

No sound examples? Isn't that what's important I tested and Plugin Alliance sounded better with most and they do updates and upgrades.. UA is the Protools of younger generation.. Overpriced hype with no real quality benefits.. Don't get hooked on their marketing Use your ears..

Also, the hardware is your forever and you can sell it later. All the manufactures making plugins will charge you for the newer versions of plugins you already own, and payed for! This just happened with me with waves! The 3d hardware brings is different!

IT'S ALREADY installed ! Fabfilter, UAD native is all showing up, press SHIFT+Load strip, they all show up :)

Interesting to hear your thoughts on your hardware. Wishing your channel the best

I'm no expert, but I believe Fabfilter plugins are also supported now. Makes it a bit more interesting?

This video came to my life at the right time! You made the explanation very personal and understandable, I have mixed and mastered in the box for 12 years and Like you said, for the past 2 years I dont think I’m improving when it comes to output. I’ll invest into a mastering compressor and EQ to upgrade my mastering. Thanks for such a wonderful video.

Informative Video. Thank you :) ... Are you Moroccan ?

Can it process vocals?

hi,teacher,is pro vla 2 a good gear?

U mean hs7

Hi.Where I can find this song? I like it a lot

Great video! Very timely for me!

It's actually best to get good instruments and a good preamp, if you are tracking. And good microphones for each task. It's the start of the signal.

I did exactly the same job, but it didn't work.

Plugin isn't bad but seems to add a haze type layer, a sort of reverbish thing, for lack of a better explanation. Perhaps that could be reduced in fiddling with some knobs. HW is just more natural / in your face. But ... I think the real question is you want to spend a few hundred and get damn close or do you have the resources to blow somewhere between 5-7K ?!?! .. It's all relative, right ? 😅

Thanks for the tips...would have been nice to pop the xml in a link for users ;-)

I work with the masterdesk, masterdesk classic and masterdesk true peak, the bx true peak limiter is not bad either,

Dubstep,dnb... distressors were impossed choice for me xD

Console 1 is fantastic, the best thing I’ve purchased in my workflow since 2018.. I’ve just received the new one and it’s again outstanding, there is no perfect product or controller but the beautiful thing is that it works perfectly

Beautiful studio

No USB connection (that works for data/accessories) ⇒ No way to connect audio interface or microphone ⇒ Useless for music production, for now.

whyd u have to go and make things so complicated

I agree with everything you have stated in both videos. Softube MUST offer COMPLETE mapping opportunities so that owners can map their favorite plugins to Control 1's knobs in any way that a user wants. If Sortube does this, their controller will be super successful. If not, SSL will win this round because they realize what users want.

only 2 words... THANK YOU!

Great advice for an analog newbie like me. Thanks 🙌

Great Stuff ! this is worth the watch!
