Hello James, an incredibly good video! It's nice to hear how the devices sound in comparison to each other. But I have to ask a few things and I hope you see it. I have a u87 combined with an Avalon 737. The two go into an Rme uc interface. My recordings with just the compressor without EQ don't sound anything like yours :D My sibilance is very, very loud. In general, the frequencies don't sound as "balanced" as yours. Your sibilance doesn't sound so sharp... I don't think you're using a de esser in the video, right? You also use your voice through the b2 Bomber, does that make such a big difference? Is my microphone or the Avalon broken? Wrong cable?` I know there could be many reasons... I'm shocked at how it sounds to me compared to you :D
Hey man, I was wondering, you said you once had the Voodoo Labs amp selector, but now you've got the headlight. Just asking why did you get the headlight instead of the Voodoo selector?
@@jameslugo My newest three videos on my channel are all U87ai into Pacifica. I have a 1073DPA and Avalon M5, too, but with U87ai and for bold RnB midrange, I like Pacifica most.

Thanks so much.
Class video, class voice!! Thank U:)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Dope setup… do you use stacking compression aka Serial compression
Thanks man, sometimes do the 1176/La2a thing.
@@jameslugo how about Distressing to Cl1b and in what order?
@@Nighthawkclips I've been running both destressors at time, one like an 1176 style and the other in Opto like an La2a, in series.
@@jameslugo Ever tried to run destressor 1176 style in to your CL1B?
@@Nighthawkclips You could, some people do 76 first or opt first. I guess it's a matter of taste
CL1B wow!
Yeah it's amazing
@@jameslugo What's your wait time on the CL1B?
@@SoundweaversRecording None, Alto Music has them
Hey man, I was wondering, you said you once had the Voodoo Labs amp selector, but now you've got the headlight. Just asking why did you get the headlight instead of the Voodoo selector?
Yeah my Voodoo died a few years ago and went for the Headlight. Both are nice but I think the Headlight is superior.
Hi James, thanks for this nice shoot out! I love U87ai into Pacifica for RnB vocals... - you still own your Pacifica?
Man I've been thinking about the Pacifica, miss that pre.

Now I gotta buy a cl1b
@James_Lugo happy holidays !!
They are nice
