We are so glad you're loving your Atlantis and Eden, Colt. Thank you so much for including us🙏
@@BorisBerlin thats just tooo petty of you 🙄
@@BorisBerlin - It was certainly an honest mistake. We are a small, family-owned company, and grateful to be a part of the conversation.
RUclips studios have too much unattainable sick gear....also, here's all my unattainable sick gear. lol. also, love all the unattainable sick gear. Much love, brother.
What an inspiring video! Truly appreciate the honesty on what someone ACTUALLY NEEDS instead of just showing the flashy new toy that came out this week. Thanks for the awesome content Colt, you really inspire many of us trying to reach that level of success.
Agreed!!! It's not about the gear, it's how you use it!
Would absolutely love a video on the heritage Tubesessor. Especially in comparison with the lca 2b for tracking a vocal.
I’m in the process of moving across the country. My whole studio is in the hands of the moving company and I’m sweating bullets. I hope it all makes it home in good condition. Maybe you’ve made a video on how to move your studio. I’d like to see that. If not maybe a good video to make cause I know you’ve moved yours once or twice.
Love your studio bro. I can tell you put a lot of hard work into it and thank you for showing us your amazing setup.
Love the concept here. Thanks, Colt!!
I was literally thinking about this yesterday. A lot of my IG search recommended is laid out studios with so much stuff in them. Although it looks great aesthetically, it reminds me of having hundreds of VSTs! Awesome to look at, but not necessary. Great for efficiency to have your go-to stuff on every mix.
Then the other side of me wants it all 😅
Wow! Just Wow!…Simply impeccable…🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I just watch your video but was never motivated but watch to finish my data
That set up is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Definitely need a vid on the new heritage audio!!
🇪🇸
Sounds like everything is a desert island worthy.
As always man thank you so much for the info, you’re incredible!
yes I needed that chair recommendation. Backs been killing me!
A video idea (a really brave one): track and mix a little demo song and make two versions (signal splitting, a lot of work, but that's what'd make the vid cool): one with stock/free plugins and tracked directly into the computer, another tracked and then mixed through analog stuff. Then compare. THAT would be epic
I have a ton of outboard gear but I started in the 90s so I had no choice but to buy the stuff I have. But if I started out today I would not have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on consoles and outboard compressors and EQs. If I started today I would have a powerful computer the fastest interface on the market and I would spend my money where it matters most MICROPHONES, INSTRUMENTS & MONITORS. If I really needed outboard gear I would have 500 series boxes with what I needed. Spend money wisely studios aren’t about the gear because on the radio no one can see your studio. It is about giving your clients a better product than the guy with the fancy studio pics on instagram.
The history behind the compressor is incredible 👏🏻 Question: have you had to send any gear for repair and if so, about how often and what is the most common repair? Want to start working with less plugins and more hardware. Thanks!
Honestly, as a studio owner just starting out, "instagram studios" bum me out. I've watched videos of people telling their audiences "if they have (enter cheaper product here) don't even touch that studio!" or "If they don't have a (enter extremely expensive product here) its not worth using them!" like I get it, we strive for providing the best sound quality as possible. But my prices reflect what we can do (we're cheaper than most of the market and are trying to build up cliental and equipment as we can) and we have a killer drum setup and sound.
It's just very frustrating to encounter everything online basically telling me I can't succeed unless I have 10s of thousands of dollars to go into debt to pay for (enter products here). And I can't wait to prove them wrong by making kick ass music even though we have a 7b and not a (enter expensive mic here).
If clients don't wanna come to your studio because you don't have a U87 or some other super expensive piece of gear, then good. Those aren't the kind of people you want in your space. They should come to you because the work you put out is killer and you provide great customer service, not because you use expensive tools. Ignore those online influencers and have fun! ✌🏾
@@subtonic24 Thanks for the encouragement! you're definitely right. We personally haven't run into those kinda cats but our current clients have been happy with our output. Through some marketing we've been getting more coming in and I can't wait to showcase some of the work on our website! Texas has been treating us well so far
We did a test in our studio the other day with 6 different microphones. 3 of them were super high end (ranging from $2k to $5k). Every single engineer on site that day preferred the sound of one mic in particular, and it was the 7B. It's a GREAT mic
@@avationmusic We love our 7b. Its such a great sounding workhorse of a mice that we put on anything and it just sounds great going through our BLA 173. not that it needs a fancy preamp to prove itself! We just like the character and saturation it provides which means less processing later on
I have mostly basic gear. It’s all I need.
i like seeing all the equipment that you use. the videos are good for information on the equipment and other stuff too.
Your studio is magnificent.
You make an excellent point about only keeping what you use and what you need. My own home studio is quite primitive. But it serves me well and I can accomplish a lot with it. Sometimes the limits we are faced with amplify our creativity. Look what the Beatles did with Sgt. Pepper and what Jimi Hendrix did on Are You Experienced? - and they only had four tracks.
Hey Colt, thanks for the video!
Question. How do you use the same hardware compressor (Tube Tech) on every vocal? Do you bounce down the vocal after finding the right settings and then move on to the next?
I'm new to using external hardware and the amount of info out there is surprisingly sparce. Would love to see a video on how to do this kind of stuff with external hardware. Keep making great videos. Have a good one!
Thanks for the comment! So, if it’s a song, I’m tracking/producing, I just record every vocal through the tube tech. If it’s a song, I’m mixing, I will put the tube tech as a hardware insert on the lead vocal. If i’m mixing a song, I didn’t track/produce, and I need to process more than two vocals, then I will Print those vocals through the tube tech, so I still have that flavor. Hope that makes sense!
@@ColtCapperrune Makes total sense! Thank you brotha!
Hello Colt,
Is it possible to do a short video on the GRACE monitor controller? How do you hook it up? Does it add to your monitor sound? The cost, etc.
Thanks!
I still have my Alesis NanoCompressor & Belari MP105. They were some of the first pieces of gear I bought when I started home recording. Upgrading the opamps help. I keep them for nostalgia mostly but they do impart their own sound. I have acquired better gear over the years but I still like having these old pieces of gear. Honestly I don't really need more preamps or channel strips or compressors, but I do find myself wanting more gear. For what I do at home I have all the gear I really need.
Im using a 1000 dollar computer with Cakewalk making my first EP with a record label. And it sounds great!
I started learning in december and i have been working hard to understand it all.
I honeslty dont need a 100.000 dollar IG picture
We tell Colt has officially gone over the 100k subscribers, because he’s getting ALL the new gear 😂 jealous! Keep it up!! Love the videos dude. Please make a video about the grace monitor controller. Thanks!!!
Stuff I learned:
You cannot say enough good things about it
😂
@@ColtCapperrunewhat are your thoughts about placing the BIG before the bus comp? I am planning on getting the BIG, but the way I am thinking, it may be easier to place it in front of compression. Just curious, thanks!
Hey Colt loving the channel, What desk are you using?
Nice studio, Colt. I’ve got a pair of Focal Solo 6 Be’s and love them.
You spoke about people making Vids on STUDIO's...Yeah like Andrew last several YT Vids were at other's Studios ( doing a Walk -Through) :)
Love Andrew’s videos!! I’m the one that set up his most recent. I just want people to know, that even is that have all this gear, we could make due with less
I scored a near mint used CL1b for $1400 at a guitar chain store in Canada that didn't know what they had.. Never used it, but got rid of it in a trade for a Trident Trimix console.
My only piece of "celebrity" gear I owned was a Neumann U47fet that had been used with Celine Dion.. Bought it for $3000cdn flipped it 2 years later for $5000cdn
I can definitely cosign the Eden. I wish I had the Tube Tech to run it thru 😅
There is an elephant in the room and it seems that it needs to be addressed. What is the reason that no one ever addresses capturing the sound to be mixed? It seems that everyone is always talking about mixing however no one wants to address capturing the source material to be mixed. The piece of gear that is always used in our studio is the room as well as the basic physics of sound which the room helps to take care of.
I agree! I literally JUST made a video about this very thing.
That deserted island will need a good electricity power plant
Once again the GOAT at it again
Colt. That's awesome for your dessert island compressors but. What ?? Can e use as a pluginn that is similar to your outboard gear
I have yet to find plugins that I like as much as these pieces.
hahahaha you have a pretty big bag to carry all that to your dessert island. "I use this on every single song..." :)
A lunch box, one Comp, one mic, one pair of monitors. If that was all that’s in this room it would look empty 😜
Colt, thanks for the review. Im looking for a new mic, primarily a woman singer, pop/rnb. Ive been looking at Lauten in the last week or so. May I ask what qualities make you choose the Atlantis over the Eden?
It just works on more people, and with more pre / comp combos. But when the Eden is the right choice, it’s REALLY good
I can not say enough good thing about this video!😉
😂
Hey Colt, what would be some "must have's" and effective cost units you would suggest for someone starting his outboard gear journey? Thanks man!
Isn't heat distribution a problem on your racks? I noticed everything is stacked directly on top of each other, some gear needs a 1u ventilation rack, no? Just curious if that can't become a problem if doing long sessions. Thanks for the helpful information!
Great video on this gear
GREETINGS,
Another great video. I'm wondering what you are trading your x16 out with?
A whole HDX rig. Worth the switch for me. I’ll definitely explain in future videos!
My mixing list (plugins):
- API 550b
- 1176
- 260vu
- tc electronic 2290 and DVR250
Hardware:
- audioscape eqp1As and buss come
Thats it... that's all you need ❤
Still have the Manley reference? It isn’t a top contender? Just wondering because I was looking at them. Thanks! 😊
I have a big question I have never heard you talk about using a summing box
Very curious if you use one
Thanks
8:38 Who wouldn´t be sold on a 1500 dollars headphone dude!!!!! 😆😆😆😆
Pretty crazy!!!! 🤯
Beautiful studio Colt!!! Congrats!!!
So the CAPI H2s "live on your mix bus." If you go Atmos, do you need 11 of them?
Please Compare the Heritage to your Tube Tech Compressor.
You mentioned ATMOS so are you getting customers requesting ATMOS, haven't heard many other engineers that are? Personally I'm not buying into the whole ATMOS thing. Nice studio you have.
I heard someone say that Apple Music and Spotify are only accepting Dolby atmos mixes for their top tracks, which means if you want your song to be at the top of the charts, it must have an atmos mix
don’t know if this is true at all - but it’s interesting.
I’m curious what percentage of your time/days are spent creating content vs. selling your recording/mixing services to actual clients. Some big youtube producers like Beato still have big home studios with tons of rack gear, amps, guitars but they don’t make any records. All he needs is maybe a pair of speakers in the background. Hell even that could be green screened. What I find peculiar about the recording studio folks turned successful content creators, is why they still muck about in such a niche/broke industry when they’ve proven that they can be a successful on-camera salesperson (a valuable skill which if applied to other industries could earn them much more). I think the Six Figure Home Studio guys realized this at some point and pivoted their content to go broader (as all around marketers).
The content here is GREAT for guys like me, so your critique, veiled as a question (“I’m curious”) is beside the point. Even if I don’t have a ton of gear and even if I’m serving my small local market, understanding these pieces of gear and the techniques behind their use is both educational and useful.
Definitely do a vid on the Heritage Audio
Hey Colt. I don't see the link for the chair. Can you add it or post it here please? Thanks.
Hey Colt, you said you were 100% sold on the Focal clear headphones. Did you ever try Audeze LCD-X? Would be interesting which one of these two you would recommend for mixing, since they are both in the same price range. Thank you!
I am all in on the clear MG Pro. But I have not used the model you suggested, I’d be happy to test them. But not currently looking for a replacement. Sorry that’s not much help!
Fellow “nobody” here… saw your question about the HPs. I’ve been very impressed with the Audeze LCD-X. I use them for mixing, and also when i’m taking in music for pure enjoyment at my desk. Best way ive been able to explain the sound: feels like a pair of monitors attached to your ears! I little heavier than most of the newer lighter style open backs, but worth the trade off for me. I am 6’2” and a fairly big head/ear size, so this makes these cans even more appealing to somebody my size and head shape. Hope that helps
@@BenRicoMusic I also tried them and what I don't like so much about them is their size. The Focals seem to be pretty low weight, I guess I'll give them a shot...
The clear mg arnt too light I have them they are deceptively big
But I love them
Wheres your mastering gear? Did you sell your portico 2 channels? And your MBP?
It looks great 😂😂😂
What mic pre’s are you using besides the capi and newton ? What is the difference with the new heider mic pre”s? I have the older ones.
Hay Colt, Great Videos as usual.. Loads of interesting knowledge. QQ, Grace Design M905.. Could you say how you us it.. How you set it up.. IE reference levels. How you get the best out of it..Do you balance you levels between speaker sets. How will you monitor when you go Atmos? Many thanks..
cool
I walked passed you in sweetwater when you were there for gearfest, too bad I couldn't introduce myself to you.
Is it just the Moog
Did you ditch the Manley Card Ref? Just curious. Thanks!
I have Slate Digital Mic and MBOX Studio. Would that Distressor compressor benefit me? Was thinking about getting one but if I need other gear to make it useful it’s no reason yet
Hi how would u rate FMR really nice compressor 1773?its cheap..so do u think it can give professional,result?
Do you prefer your HEIDERS over your VP28's Platinum ?
I prefer the OG Heider over the platinum on mix bus. And I prefer the platinum over the OG Heider for most tracking. However, I prefer the new heider to both on mix bus, and tracking.
@@ColtCapperrune thanks for the answer !
Here's a rule-of-thumb I believe works: Take a piece of paper and list EVERY paying client you've ever had. Number that list 1, 2, 3, 4 . . . etc. Now count ALL the units in your outboard gear rack (excluding Power Conditioner and Interface.) So - if the number of your gear is more than the number of clients, you may be buying too much stuff too soon. Face it - today's DAWs come with enough [great] emulations of Compressors, EQs, Reverbs ad nauseam - if you're just starting out? . . . psst - that's all you need . .. learn from that free goldmine of plug-ins. Then, when you've secured enough income, and you've just gotta have that Fairchild - knock yourself out.
This is the way
What happened to the Manley Ref C that you were so fond of pre-Sweetwater? Still a great mic and arguably better than some others. Not even a mention.
Honestly, the Atlantis beats it on nearly everyone. The Atlantis has all of that presence, and clarity, but has less sibilance. I think the Manley still wins on really aggressive, vocals, and hard rock/metal. But for everything else, the Atlantis wins almost always. Also, the Manley wasn’t pre-Sweetwater.
@@ColtCapperrune Thanks for the reply. I agree about the Manley, depending on the singer and vocal chain. I have been getting back into the U87 lately.
Great job on the videos.
I could save for 20 years and couldn't get all that gear, but im home studio record myself guy, not a professional full time engineer.
Are the capi heiders based on an api?
Yeah all you need is a 57, maybe two if you want to get fancy 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Would the "What I'd get rid of" video be shorter. 😂
What do you use for keys
RUclips and the Internet just want more and more suckers to keep buying..So you have 10 pieces of gear,and that's about all you need..
Did Jeff, gift ya a module for not pluggin Coil!? lol 😉
Lol! Jeff has actually never gifted me a single module. And we’ve never even traded for content. Absolutely love my coils, but they definitely don’t get used every day.
You changing from the Apollo because you're going Atmos?
It's the same on the art side...no way some of these folks have enough time to actually use all the devices they have set up.
I don’t know how those Instagram recording studio guys can afford all that equipment. They must be trust fund babies with lots of money I doubt if they’re making very much money with clientele to afford that purchase.
Colt, you have such amazing gear. BUT WHY ARE YOU USING THE MAGIC MOUSE! It’s arguably the worst mouse available today 😂
Logitech MX Master gang
I’m a Magic Mouse fanboy lol
I did smash as hard as I could the button though the mouse is dead now
Lauten lol. Great video though
So, Lauten is pronounced Lauren?
Crap! I just got in some Lauren audio Preamps and that must’ve been where my mind was. Lol. Lauten Audio is pronounced just as it is spelled.
@@ColtCapperrune Cool, I's wonderin' if it was some kinda European spelling trick or somethin'. Y'all be cool.
@@ColtCapperrune 🤣🙌
Lol😂 no mentón on coil Audio ? No money , I can buy from you half price ??
Bro why did you call them "Lauren" micophones 😂
4:14 but you're a little stitious!
