My vocal chain took two years to save up for and that is the U87 ai going into my Avalon AD 2022 (sound quality is better than its older brother, the Avalon VT-737sp) and into the Apollo Twin x duo. I will be getting a neve 1073spx to eq my vocals later in 2023 and then I'm good.
This channel is rapidly becoming my favorite pro-audio channel, Archie. You're a wonderfully charismatic and knowledgable presenter - excellent video and sound production too. Keep up the great work, my friend.
Just gotta say. I am a long time subscriber but I don't comment. You make amazing videos. Not just the vocal chain ones but the reviews. You are very much appreciated
I love seeing with the legends use BUT! I hear some independent artist or smaller artist with a better vocal/musical mix etc. So it's not always the gear! But great series
Your Vocal Chain videos are different than other Vocal Chain videos specifically because of the research you do, then adding your findings in your Vocal Chain videos.
@@andrewj.682 i said u can make it, not recreate this vocal chain. rappers have made it with a tlm 102, 103, and a apollo. billie eilish did, russ, more.
would you be able to do one on nipsey hussles vocal chain? he mentioned it in a few interviews but i’ve never been able to find out what the chain actually was 🥲
You should test and review the Mojave MA-1000. David Royers exact replication of the 251. With a couple added features. It's phenomenal . that ones 3100$ If you're going for less expensive . The MA-300. It's his build right from the print of Nuemanns 67. Some think it's the closet thing to 67 but I think it kinda has its own sound. They're both Large Diaphragm Tube condensers with the power supply with Jensen Transformers and the mics have Military Grade 5840 Vacuum Tubes. It's a continuous variable polar pattern . Gearspace said the MA-300 is the closet thing they've heard to a U67. It's real nice. Super easy on the ears. You know David Royer knows his shit when it comes to building Mic's. He's super proud of the Mojave line. They come in nice cases. The 1000 comes in a cherry wood case. Also I heard the WA Cx12. Holy Shit blew me away. 10 grand for the original, 1 grand for the warm audio. Your boy Colt did a review with it. He was thoroughly Impressed. Just some ideas . I know you get a million suggestions from us. The MA-300 is around 1400$.
My current vocal chain as of 2022 When tracking I'll use: TLM103 ~> WA73 EQ ~> Hairball 1176 Rev A OR AudioScape Opto Comp (sometimes both) ~> EQP-WA (bypassed just for color) ~> UA Apollo x6 ~> UA SSL E Ch. Strip (gate) ~> DAW (Pro Tools mostly, sometimes LUNA) Any questions or suggestions I'm here for it lol.

@@TrevonJamar I’m not sure how it works in terms of analog. I don’t use any physical equipment outside of an interface and the laptop. Entirely in the box. My apologies if bypass in terms of analog equipment does indeed change the audio.

I traded my neve 1073spx & WA-2a for a Avalon 737sp , good trade in value ? I’m running a U87ai into the UA 1176ln hardwear . I personally enjoy the Avalon sound more I’m mainly doing hip hop
Hey Archie, can you do a video on a studio setup with a budget from 1,000-1,500 considering you already have a decent pc? If you can only spend that much, what equipment or software would you buy?
I own a Rode K2. I've bought every mic emulation system on the market to try to get the sound of a Sony. But I've sold all of them. The K2 blew all of them out of the water. Any price real tube mic is better than any emulation. Just spend the money on the best tube mic you can afford, learn from my mistakes. Just get the real deal any don't believe the hype.
Bro please could you just help me with a quick question? I already use the combo 1176 + La2a and i love it in my verses, but sometimes i want more compression and i end up with dead meat. How can I increase compression in a uniform way ? should i Just increase the La2A compression? My ratios are 12:1 in 1176 and -2db of GR in La2A
I can’t find any vocal chain 😂😂😂 it’s a video about mics hardwares and plugins. Where is the output ? Where is the processing procedures ? How can we know the result.. Totally confusing video ..
He been using the Sony just like everyone else for years. Also you can’t even buy them for 10k anymore. 15-20k if you wanna get one any time this millennium.
Ye is definitely one of our legends! Thank you all for watching and supporting my channel. I really appreciate each and every one of you!
Telefunken TF51 -> BAE1028 -> CL1b -> Distressor -> Apollo twin -> Logic Pro. Updates are coming 🎶🎤
That’s solid bro

I will brother! Trust me! Thank you for supporting for real.
All of them are my favorite
pretty sure thats a u87 with a Neumann IC4, no u67
especially the black one, the u67 was never available in black
Young Guru the legend lol. That was cool seeing Run this Town session. Keep these videos coming bro.
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. One of the best produced albums. From the samples to the raw drums it’s crazy.

I had no idea that these vocal chains were so damn expensive. I know I know, they are entirely worth it.
u can make it with a tlm 102 and a apollo or focusrite scarlette. this is coming from someone with a 9k vocal chain
For what money they make, I think 15k is like a poor man vocal chain
@@andrewj.682 lol i have u87 ai, neve 1073, avalon ad2022, i'll stop there. get a life.
@@andrewj.682 u def misread my post

Kanye West “Ye” album is my fav.
When Archie speaks I listen
Excellent Thanks
Thanks bro
my favorite vocal chain atm is the akg c414 xl2 or the sa47 mk2/HA73 jr2 pre/sa76 D+ or elysya mpressor
College dropout is still the classic album from Yeezy
I caught this so early it was still only up to 360p lmao
Just got the sphere. It’s awesome but hard to choose which emulation is best! Would love a review on it
Oh nice! Congrats on the new microphone. I'm hunting one down this weekend, lol.
Jack harlow vocal chain next please and Chris Brown

Take the bypassed plugin off to free up a mixer channel slot because it has no effect on the audio

I traded my neve 1073spx & WA-2a for a Avalon 737sp ,
good trade in value ?
I’m running a U87ai into the UA 1176ln hardwear . I personally enjoy the Avalon sound more I’m mainly doing hip hop
Nah man you got hit over the head but if it works in value the dollars shouldn’t matter!🤞🏽
Can you get jadakiss vocal chain & fabolous vocal chain
Great job bro but they are using the older Neve not the new 1073spx.
These are good
C800/1073/CL1B
thx
Do you have Nipsey Hussle vocal my guy. Love the videos I’ve been seeing so far.
Yooo. Can you do a bad bunny one? Love the content!!
Hey Archie, can you do a video on a studio setup with a budget from 1,000-1,500 considering you already have a decent pc? If you can only spend that much, what equipment or software would you buy?
NEVE 1073 MIC PRE
CL 1B
DISTRESSOR

Kinda off topic but have you checked out ASC attack wall tech 😱😱
What do they mean when they say “glue”?
I only saw a C800g/73/CL1b when i was with him.
U67 is just as good, I have both
@@realtalkroscoegsame capsule in both i believe
I think I speak for a lot of us here when I say we want to see the Travis Scott vocal chain 🔥🔥🔥
Man I’ll have to spend $20K in mics alone.
Thennnn the 737
Thennnn the Neve
Thennnn LA2A
Would you recommend the Aston halo for making music
Yes, I've used the Aston Halo on every single recording of mine.
@@archiebeatz when I use it should I put the mic all the way in
Do wiz khalifa ¤$y
You a legend too

AB! You've got the answers my man lol
Question… When working in a daw (making beats), how do you know which tracks to make mono or stereo?
there is no black u67..
What’s the done playing at 2:40???
wtf , i literally asked for this video
If you have the Apollo is there a need for any other hardware being that you have some of the best plugins that are included??
Except when he’s using his favorite mic, which is his iPhone.
wHAT ADVICE CAN YOU OFFER FOR THIN SOUNDING VOICES THAT STRUGGLE TO CUT THROUGH, AND SLIGHTLY NASALY?
focusrite microphone > avalon 737 > focusrite interface
The vocals are more important then the chain or expensive Equipment... but nice series
I can’t find any vocal chain 😂😂😂 it’s a video about mics hardwares and plugins.
Where is the output ? Where is the processing procedures ? How can we know the result..
Totally confusing video ..
FBG duck
Donda
Almost the same chain as jay z
He been using the Sony just like everyone else for years. Also you can’t even buy them for 10k anymore. 15-20k if you wanna get one any time this millennium.
