I definitely appreciated this video, can’t wait for the next in the series

[@sangstersounds]

Thanks so much!!

[@diyrecordingstudio]

I have a pair of dbx 163s. They’re great. Heaps of vibe. Thanks for the vid!

[@sangstersounds]

Awesome! You are welcome!

[@jacobthebatchbandit3092]

Yo fam I kinda wish that you demod some more extreme settings like DBX absolutely squashing the heck out of a drum mix but honestly your presentation and explainations with logic were so good I had to subscribe 👌

[@sangstersounds]

Thanks! And thanks for the feedback. I typically just use the extreme setting on bass like I showed in the final example. I need to get a second unit so I can squash my drum bus too!

[@HPC469]

I have 4 that are off to be modded and 4 more in the studio, love this gear 😊

[@sangstersounds]

Nice! What mods are you getting done?

[@sickmessiah]

dbx 166 xl ... The Limiter in them is actually a soft clip circuit .. Very goo alternative for plugin clippers .

[@sangstersounds]

Great tip! Thanks for sharing!

[@adrianosullivan7548]

Keep it up! Would like to hear your thoughts on budget EQs, Pres or even tape/reel to reel scenarios.

[@adrianosullivan7548]

also good/affordable mics other than SM57s and 58s!

[@hakanjohnson2726]

Why do you want to know about budget crap? Better use plugins than these peices of sjit

[@sangstersounds]

Thanks so much! Great ideas, I definitely plan on doing more of these videos

[@miquelmarti6537]

I find it very good for rap vocals. It has some vibe.

[@sangstersounds]

Love that! I bet that sounds great

[@kingofbonngo]

I used a 163x on my snare input chanel but i think i should test it on the bass input after the DI out of my bassamp. Today a dbx 262 Project 1 arrived, for 150,-€. This could be nice on stereo signals.

[@sangstersounds]

Definitely try it on bass, it sounds epic! Ive never used the 262 but I bet its another Budget Gem!

[@its_thebeesknees636]

thank you jesus

[@sangstersounds]

Peace be with you
