I was thinking you could already make Your Analog, console with recall with all your Wes audio 500 module. It could be interesting to show us the way recalls works with A lot of similar Wes audio module working together Thanks for your work 🤘
@jhorconguero5808 yes, this is exactly what I've been creating within this studio. A dogital console that has digitally recallable analogue EQ and compression for every channel. Essentially creating a 100% recallable console. I can currently have 72 channel strips with EQ and comp in this system.
Could you convince wes audio to make a pandora mastering edition 19" version with variable tube or other saturation per band would be killer probably sell one of my kidneys
@@AudioAnimalsStudio Yeah. I think I am going to go buy that. Is it easy to get replacement tubes for it. I suppose I should get a couple of sets of tubes when I buy it. How do you use the Pandora with the NG Tube EQ and your NG Bus compressor?
@braxal6983 tubes should be easy enough to get. I haven't opened one up to check which tubes are inside. But I'm pretty sure you can get hold of them faily easily or even through wes audio. I would imagine calibrating the tubes will have been thought out by them also. Best to ask Wes Audio direct. I use the tube EQ and bus comp over the mix bus. Then Pandoras I use in the mix across buses.
@bontempo1271 I can't say I'm using any compressor plugins at the moment. Compression and saturation is something I really feel doesn't compare with analogue. I have enough analogue compressors to never need to use plugin compression.
@@AudioAnimalsStudio lmao, yep i wouldn't either. AI research and development in saturation plugins is sounding promising though. We'll see how it goes. Compression still has some way to go. I'm glad you give praise to the Wes Audio stuff btw, i was interested in their stuff for the mixbus. Oh and bloody hell, Happy New Year to you ! I get so busy with production that i forget where i am sometimes lol
@bontempo1271 I used to use a lot of plugin compressors. But I always felt I wasn't quite getting the sound I was aiming for. Which led me back into the direction of analogue mixing. I'm constantly searching for a better sound. Saturation may get there at some point. Currently the closest I've got to feeling like I'm using analogue saturation is Alkane. On my mix bus i have a HE2, wes audio tube EQ and a Wes Audio Bus Comp. This as a mix bus sounds incredible. I'll do a video showing how this mix bus sounds in the coming weeks. I've had a few people interested in the way it sounds and what it brings to the mix. Happy new year and hope you had a good Christmas.
@CT-ho6si that's a great question. If you removed digital recall from the Tube EQ it would be another great sounding EQ with loads of great features that would be an absolute nightmare to recall and I would have never bought it because of that reason. Thankfully, that's not the case. I would have chosen the Hendy Amps Michelangelo XL EQ. Compressor I would have chosen the reissue of the Fairchild. Because that thing is a work of art. Saturation I would have still chosen the Carnaby HE2 as that's easy to recall from a picture. What sets all this gear apart from others for me is the digital recall.
@@AudioAnimalsStudio Certainly, actually that was my point. Well, that and some snarky comment at your all-in on the digital recall in nearly every video for the past couple months. It's not my interest or goal, but like I said I'm not a commercial enterprise like you all are. Peace.
@ThisGuyDude yeah it's such a big part of this studio and it is a hot topic right now. A lot of studios are on the fence, should we do it should we not. I'm asked daily my thoughts. I'd say if you are a commercial studio, especially one working online it's the best investment into your sound and workflow possible. I know from my own experience just how good it's been. As I get more questions on other subjects I'll answer them. I just answer questions on the questions people ask me.
@AudioAnimalsStudio Cool, digitally recallable HW is certainly intriguing tech, especially your novel idea for a new tech where the roles are reversed and the plugins are also controllable from the hardware faceplate. I'll probably eventually move towards digitally recallable HW someday; maybe by the time you find a partner to implement your role reversal idea. But I'm a dense dunce of a Luddite for all the things digital. It took me 4 days to figure out how to set up MADI converter network, grumbling the whole time and bemoaning the fact I wasn't working. God forbid anything goes wrong on my network, I've already forgotten what I did to get it going. So, I'll just follow the progress of digitally recallable tech from afar for now. :-)
Do speakers next 🤘❤

TBTECH Cenozoix is insane bro.

@@thegsalmon Already put this request in. It would be the dream compressor. Fingers crossed 2025 we will see this.
I think I better bag a Wes Audio Tube EQ. How do you compare the Wes Audio Tube EQ to SPL -PQ mastering eq?
@braxal6983 its much better than than the PQ. The PQ is a good EQ but there's about 10 really good EQs in the same price range is recommend over it
@@AudioAnimalsStudio Yeah. I think I am going to go buy that. Is it easy to get replacement tubes for it. I suppose I should get a couple of sets of tubes when I buy it. How do you use the Pandora with the NG Tube EQ and your NG Bus compressor?

@@AudioAnimalsStudio Ah excellent, i look forward to the vid.
Christmas was ok, the usual ! Absolutely stuffed myself 😂
Take care mate !
I'd be interested to hear how this list changes if we remove digital recall from the criteria...

My top 3 outboard purchases of 2024:
1. WES Audio ngTubeEQ
2. WES Audio ngBusComp
3. WES Audio _Hyperion
@BertVollmer-f5m there's a reoccurring theme here. Wes Audio are at the top of their game at the moment.
For me PRO-C2 is still the best software compressor out there.
Cenozoix is way more advanced
@avouremusic yes. But I get better results with PRO-C2.
Michelangelo will probably be Nr1 next year with recall;) I think Unfairchild plugin should be mentioned though.
@@strayesignal9312 that's a good point. Unfairchild could possibly be the compressor of the year.
I'm guessing the recall stuff :-)
Lol. Yup. Nailed it. I get the value prospect for your studio for sure. It's not my bag, but I'm not a commercial studio.
@@ThisGuyDude my audio gear of the year is going to be very different to someone else's who has different equipment.

Would be nice if Wes Audio made a Pandora in a 19inch rack format. @wesaudio
@@audiokemestry that would be very good
