Thankyou for the review. I was planning of buying the warm audio wa-1b with Austrian audio 0c818. Do you think i should consider that or should i go for a tube microphone to pair with the warm audio as i have noticed most of the vocals chains with the tube tech compressor use tube microphone init?

Hey Alec! I hope you don't mind. I used your song to demo my PI-3141 compressor. I think it sounds great! Check it out on the stereo mix video on my channel! Cheers.

Can you demo wood flute or concert flute?

I have this and 2 gripes I have. One is BT is always on and when nothing is connected it constantly flashes that can be quite distracting. Second is the use of USB-C, not so as it's using USB-C to power but the lack of locking the USB in place or the lack of secure and tight connection to stay in place. Minor bumps can sometimes disrupt the connection and loud pops will be heard on your monitor and headphone if connected. Other than that, it is an exceptional performing monitor controller.

This song is really good! Have you released a full version?

Well, we've had enough from these stupid clones.

Your music in the channel is mixed analog on the console? It sounds so great and i try to understand whats the magic sauce hh

which interface did you use here? and how is it compare to the 88m in your opinion?

88RLB is so much more dynamic and natural sounding. Always found the 73LB a lil compressed sounding, tho at times to it's benefit. The tops on the 73LB seems a tad more open due to less midrange and dynamics coming through, but the 88RLB is so much more lively and clear that I'll probably favor it 9/10 times.

This or BAE

This is some beautifully composed music like where can I find your projects

bro where did you go homie we miss you any where we can get updates?

Great review, thank you. Do you still have them / use them / love them ?

Looking forward to the next AB insights. Missing you mate!

Great review man! Keep up the excellent work!

AMA Neve shit rocks. In 22, I’m broke, I have things I have to save for (every try to get a good job and buy a house without a college degree, it’s quite hard believe it or not) lol. I can’t afford to buy “real” Neve gear (shit I can’t afford to dream about it). AMS Neve’s stuff sounds amazing, I mix everything on my 8816, it’s my main console… AND I CAN AFFORD TO SLOWLY ADD MORE PARTS. 40 years ago I’d never be able to say I own a Neve. If you consider yourself above the AMS stuff, you’re either A: A doctor and have no business commenting on this sort of thing. Or B: You’re probably mixing on a $100 Reverb find mixer (nothing wrong with that if you own up to it) and pretending to know what you’re talking about, but really have no idea

You can use the insert to have 2 separate sources. Line in, insert send (source 1) Insert ret , line out (source 2)

¡Gracias!

I tracked through one of these today. Super cool experience. Bock 507. Also listened to back to it through those same ATC monitors that you have.

I’ve watched a few videos on this and no one has actually explained how the return channels work exactly. This was great! Being able to record dry and wet on separate channels is HUGE - thank you

It’s worth it just for acoustic guitars

Sounds like John Mayer

So what’s your favorite Neve-esque channel strip?!

Amazing video! That is a very nice review and great sound, guys. Question: have you tried MCM 114 with an acoustic guitar microphone and singing at the same time? Would that be an issue? (like.. bad sound for capturing too much voice?) or would I get a "good enough" isolation from the voice sound? I'm afraid of this being too "broad' and getting too much of my voice and loose/omit sound from the guitar.

API have been my favourite pres for many years.

Broer, it’s time to release your album of the full versions of these songs. They’re wonderful.

Great review. Are the JFET preamps (1 & 2) compatible with condenser mics using the 48v phantom power? Or are they just for instruments?

Hey Alec, miss you.

great song and production and yep thats the U67 sounds like a records immediately!

absolutely impossible to discern ANYTHING about the preamps when there is an entire song playing together... im lost on the point

Alec, I have looked everywhere on the internet to understand which is better the API 550A or the API 550B. I see the 550B has 4 bands it would appear that it would be better than 500A with 3 bands? If you had to choose one which would it be and why? I appreciate any guidance you can give me because I value your opinion. I am buying a pair of API eqs and want to be confident in my purchase.

Nevermind the gear, that song is so goddamn good

Alec I have an Audient 4816SE. Out of curiosity I spent a few hours comparing the SSL Origin16 ($36,000) to the 4816. A few observations. Overall the specific control layout varies a fair amount, but the underlying functions are pretty similar. Overall, the Origin have some nice additional functions but it is quite a bit more expensive. The Origin does have 0 dB unity switches for all short and long faders. The Origin has an insert switch for the master bus insert. The Origin has two headphone jacks. The Origin has 70 dB gain for the mic input. The Origin used sub D 25 connectors for almost all inputs and outputs, which I do not like. Both have 2 cues, but the Origin has only 4 auxes, instead of six. The Origin does not have the linking function. Each has 4 stereo returns with almost identical controls. The studio/live room functions are comparable. The Origin has no separate trim controls for the 2 aux monitors. The are very similar in size. The EQ's are very similar. The bus compressors are very similar. Both have an internal PSU. Faders are the same size Origin has a solo clear function. Other solo functions are similar. The Origin's knobs have less play. The Origin does not have the terrific overlay that that Audient uses. The faders are similar and the same size.

Hey Alec, did you do any EQ on the vocals? Either in the MT48 or in post?

very fine song - waiting for your album

Very cool demo songs !

So I am wondering how the latency is on this hmm. In the user manual it says that the onboard mixer/monitor work at ultra low latency. Whatever ultra low means. It also says you don't need a small buffer size for audio recording (in the daw). This is page 16 in the manual btw. I find I always have some issues with headphones and latency when recording. Only Pro Tools hd systems seem to have solved this but I don't want to deal with Avid anymore. Curious about this as I'd like to hit the road and my Mytek 8x192 might be just a little too big to travel with.

superb review - transparent and informative demonstration of the kit... and wow, top shelf songwriting with warm production - deeply appreciated on all levels!

I dont use di i had the neve 1073spx but felt the Phoenix ascent 1 was better than the neve but this with the red silk i feel ill get the sound i always wanted on my vocals i could never get that air like ur track had
