    New setup looks awesome dude. Your barn is such a lovely live wooden room, maybe some acoustic paneling on the walls and clouds on the ceiling might get particular sections of the rooms sounding the way you want.
    Building more gobo type panels for your drums might be a way to go too.

      @@travisraab well Thats great! Revive claims (and it stands to reason) that the signal path is very similar to the original, but the components (resistors, capacitors, etc.) are of much lower quality. They claim to be able to increase headroom and upgrade the parts to be in line with the original unit. I do find the Warm a bit grabby and more colored in the mid range than the original, which is smooth as butter. Really debating buying a modded unit

    Bro you gotta get a real rack sometime or build one with actual rails. This jank solution you are doing now is not worth that nice gear! Just a strong suggestion. Also plz turn up the audio samples a lot, your camera voice is pretty loud compared to the samples. Love the home vibe in your vids btw! Keep'em up! Regards from Denmark 🙂

    WA 1b is trash. How many videos are people gonna put up with that thing bottoming out on the low meds at about five DB of gain reduction? I think it’s really sad that warm audio has decided to market that like it’s a CL1B clone and it’s nowhere near. Just because people spend their hard earned money on crap gear They automatically have a bias towards it. This thing would probably be fine if it sold for $400. But trying to charge over 1000 for it is a rip off.

    • @travisraab
      @travisraab  9 месяцев назад +4

      I appreciate you sharing your opinion. I will take a close listen to it and if I get my hands on a cl1b I'll give them a nice comparison.

    • @Mrpsblobsoflowendmung
      @Mrpsblobsoflowendmung 9 месяцев назад +12

      Well mister @nicefish10 I think opinion is utter trash.
      I actually own both . I have a tube tech CL1b I’ve had for nearly 20 years and a few weeks ago I got a warm from a local dealer just to see what all the fuss was about and they asked me to compare them see how it stacked up . And it’s actually pretty damn close . In fact very damn close . Not as slow an attack at the slowest and a tiny low mid boost your talking less than a DB . But the characteristics are so damn close I kept the wa1b and added it to the rack cause who dosnt want 2 of them !
      And I’m been pumping a lot more than 5db of gain reduction and it ain’t bottoming out at all as you say it ! And to be fair a friend also has a CL1b not as old as mine his about 11 years old and it sounds different to mine more so than the warm !!
      So less of the negative vibes . And maybe just go and buy a tube tech or at least get on that waiting list and pay your $4000 and quit moaning about it ! It’s a quarter of the price for a very very very similar sounding and behaving compressor .

      @SupremeSpeaking 8 месяцев назад +2

      @@Mrpsblobsoflowendmungthank you for validating what I thought by comparing it to a CL1B. I’m glad I made the investment. Warm definitely got it right with the WA1B, although it is slightly different it’s definitely a wonderful addition when CL1B’s are hard to come by

    • @yule41
      @yule41 6 месяцев назад +1

      People use this as a tracking compressor, you’re never going go use more than 5. And the original does the same thing buddy. Not all CL1B’s even sound the same.
