Fantastic interview, I love Chris' point of view, old school and a no-nonsense approach, very similar to my mentor currently! It's so important that the knowledge and skills get passed down. Thanks so much for this!
Loved watching this 🎚️🎛️
Great conversation 👏🏼👏🏼
SONTEC RULES!
Wow thanks for the interview guys congrats! 🙏🏼
Thanks, great interview. Best/Mathias
Love seeing the notifications for these inteviews. Always walk away with something.
Very good content!
great conversation...All these musicians went out and bought BS audio interfaces and crappy mics then expect to sound like an A list celebrity.
Why would anyone want to sound like an A list celebrity 😂 did I miss something?
Nearly all the cheap gear now sounds great. If you have a rode NT or whatever and a 100e Audient soundcard you basically have a better, cleaner chain than anybody did in 1990. The gear is really not an issue any more, it's just knowledge and expertise, and now all those people are learning how to engineer...
Amazing interview! So much great info. And Make believe/Chris Gehringer collab?? Say whaaaaa?? 😱😱
With most people mixing ITB now a days, personally I would want my mastering engineer to put my music through some analog gear. I feel like we shouldn't focus on the work flow too much, just because it's more convenient to work solely ITB it doesn't mean it sounds better than analog.
Quite on the contrary. I have ABX my clients with analogue mastering Vs digital mastering and the ITB wins 8/10 times. There is NO compromise in sound quality... I repeat NONE... With ITB mastering.
@@GingerDrums Sure, I can't say that you're incorrect on what you have tested and experienced. For me I use plugins to assist in problematic areas of the track and sometimes final limiting but analog pieces for color and tone shaping.
@@SamIntharaphithakOFFICIAL that's awesome. The reason I write is just to make that clear: there is nothing magical or mystical about going outeside the box if you still have a real emotional and physical connection to the choices and changes being made. Some people just can't get that without feeling a change in their hands, and that's totally great. Just don't throw shade or doubt on ITB processing, because in 2024 that's just superstition ;)
fyi: Sterlings Sontec's are HEAVILY modified. Last I saw they were using totally different opamps. There is a picture of one of the insides on their Facebook
That’s because they blow op amps like a mf
@@Limit5482 I understand why. its more than the opamps that are modified. And some would say the sound of a Sontec is in the og opamps and how hot they run.
@@RedRiverSound probably not. It’s the sum of all parts that lends to the sound of the unit. It’s just built nice
@@Limit5482 after owning two 432's from different eras the build quality is not something to write home about. and if you look at the Sterling Sontec's you can see they have been completely re engineered to work with 990 opamps. Its not like you can just drop those in. So they went as far as building completely new PCB boards, new wiring and even put a copper plate behind the faceplate to stop the famous faceplate sag that happens. There are some good 432s out there, I just think using Sterlings as an example is silly, and misleading, because they are far(very far) from what Burgess sends out.
I haven’t seen the sterling units. Funny that you mention hat because most of their stuff is modded in some way
So I’m told
I still don't understand why someone can't buy the gear and build the room and do something special. It's all tasteful decisions at the end of the day. If you're going to criticize me at least tell me why I am wrong or how I could be less wrong. I'm all ears.
What is your point?
Hi Can anyone link me to the Sonetc EQ plug in that they are talking about?
The Sontec plug in can be found at makebelievestudio.com
