    Always take the MONEY!! A budget mic that’s giving the TLM 103 run is the Lewitt 440 Pure. Similar specs to the 103 with a crisp n clear smooth tone.

      Luke Audio is the craziest budget mic with quality. They make all the classic capsule emulations C800, C12, 67, 47, Ela M 251 etc.. and you get to pick any 3 when you order. Pop-top swappable capsules

      @@v3zMedia I wouldn’t doubt that. I’ve heard great things about Austrian Audio. But did you know that founders of Austrian Audio and Lewitt were all ex-employees of AKG before they were bought out. So they have a similar pedigree in a sense.

    BRO Saturn has an audio dB dip at the transition frequency when you add different bands.
    I still prefer Saturn as my main go to saturation, but it does have that dip, so just make sure you either compensate for it, or place it in an area that's not as prominent in the mix for the least effect on audio signal.
    I've been watching your videos for years and listening to your music for longer. I always appreciate your view on music, your one of my most respected engineers. Keep this up your content on RUclips has definitely gotten better in my opinion

He said there’re some live recorded instruments + Drum kit + samples are there so pay me some extra for hard drive I paid him total 300$ For pc and drive. Shockingly He didn’t Told me is That , on that 4TB Hard Drive Data he gave me was above 2TB. Which can cost above 5000$. Pretty lucky I got there.

    I WOULD TAKE THE MONEY TOO. I HAVE TO AGREE WITH DEVVON. FL STUDIO AND STUDIO ONE LISTEN TO THE MUSICIANS, ENGINEERS AND PRODUCERS WHEN IT COMES TO NEW ADDITIONS OF FEATURES. AVID LISTENS ALMOST TO NO ONEM AND THEY ARE PROBABLY THE RICHEST COMPANY AMONG ITS COMPETITORS (EXCLUDING APPLE AS A COMPANY). AVID HAVE THE POWER AND THE RESOURCES TO MAKE THE BEST DAW BUT THEY CHOOSE NOT TO DO MUCH. THEY HAVE THE MOST EXPENSIVE DAW.

      @Kiloeve Год назад

      REAPER is my favourite DAW, but one thing I wished it had is automation tracks to make automation more visible and less cluttered, which is what I think FL has. The automation items just don't do it for me, but otherwise, *what a time to be alive.* I know that most people love the automation, but it's still off for me.

    • @jaytee5018

      @@jaytee5018 If you're referring to Kenny's 'trim automate' video, It's just that they still look convoluted (to my poor eyes), even with automation items, as opposed to FL studio's look of them. It's still a minor thing, though, because instead, I just use Blue Cat Audio's Gain plugin and the Link FX feature to show me the automation on separate dedicated tracks. Takes longer, but the automation still looks a bit clearer to me this way.

    Anyone have solid recommendations for the monitor capabilities of equipment like the Apollo other than the Apollo? Logic has a no latency function but it’s pretty taxing on the cpu still. I’m working in a studio with an Apollo twin, and having no latency and auto tune monitoring for clients just works so well.

    Yo guys, serious question; what would you pick? The famous Telefunken ELA 251 or the Slate? Been going back & forth about it & comparison videos are not helping because of them not repeating the same parts directly most of the time to hear the difference per sentence (what I have now is a Rode NT2A which been doing the job since performance is on point, but now I wanna match the quality mic level qith the performance level to go even harder).
