How did you use the plugin as a preamp? This doesn't make any sense.

I found lm308 literaly in my drawer XDDDD

Hi Leo That was a very informative study you have done...... fabulous attention to detail. Thank you! One question......please? I actually have a pair of 737s, but have recently bought a UA X4 interface, and wondered which were the most important plugins that I should aim at buying? I am asking UA users for their views on this. I realise that my choices will depend on what I need to do musically, but a general overview would be handy. Thanks again for your presentation.

I was able to point out which was which. I heard more high frequency digital sizzle on the plugin. Very close indeed though!

This is so cool.

Great video! What is the total depth including the brick?

I here more breath in example A, which did sound louder maybe crisp to some. But Def more air/or more breath to the voice in example A.

What an amazing video. Great work, thank you for making this.

Thank you for making this very enjoyable video ❤

I'm a budding engineer and love electronics. This was very interesting for a beginner

Such a brilliant video man, thank you for the generosity.

Thanks for a nice guide. The thing you made might be great for foley (movie sound effects)

Can I connect it directly to a small speaker without an amplifier?

It sounds amazingggg

Great information! you are a jewel my friend.

2 things, where can you buy the book, and where can you buy that iron?

@leomakes can you compare the unison version vs the native plugin version?

You don't need to understand difficult maths to understand convolution. It is just sliding one (reversed) function over the other and, at every point, multiplying them and integrating the result. I recommend watching But what is a convolution? by 3blue1brown to understand that. Even if you ignore the math there, you can get it from the visualisations.

10:35 most of us are likely looking at the legs, but he's referring to the plastic top corner of chip is beveled [where the yellow line passes]. Its blurry there, but can see clearly when sets it down. I barely caught it myself. Can see it clear at 11:49

I think your hands are cousins twice removed of, "This Old Tony." (I really like the talking hands style of narration.)

"this is far from ideal" yeah, it's ikeal actually

Very cool. As a fan of both reverb and Ikea, I must try this.

I wonder if it could be made smaller if used with thin metal sheet. I actually have thin brass metal sheet on spool, like 25cm wide possibly 0.1mm thick. Need to try this. There is one important aspect missed in this video! Corrosion! In this video it looks like steel - it will quickly rust and change it's sound. Maybe for better... But it will change over time as more rust will build up.

i cant believe asmr channels havent jumped all over electromagnetic listeners

Always been intimidated by SMD, I thought you needed ovens and paste and masks and stuff. Thanks, my life is changed!

Love that Grand Tour poster! (ePBT?) Noice beets, noice voice, noice d...doicumentation.

Thought that the eurorack level is to hot to plug directly into the stomp boxes..?

I was right. I heard extra fatness in the Avalon.

i still believe in the hardware but i love the plugins too.

Plate is the blonde in a bikini of reverbs.

Nice work man!

Great work

I noticed you didn't use flux in the component legs, do you not have to use flux on these on component boards?

what about a half normal patchbay to split your signal?

Thank you Leo!

Wonder if the woo crowd of audiophiles could latch on to this and start to deride people who use plates that aren't either titanium stripped off of an ex-spacecraft or gold plated brass.

Sounds amazing! Wonderful job!

Honestly, it sounds amazing, but I would much prefer to have an actual plate setup like you!

Dope AF!

hey im really inspired by your desk are you sharing your cad files for the eurorack anywhere?

I wonder if a shell would improve it, to minimize feedback? Probably doesn't matter as much with small monitors at a moderate volume, or at all through headphones (obviously), but if you use it live or at louder volumes, it might start to squeal...

@3:45 this is PERFECT. Every A/B test has to be like this. sound only. great job!

Thanks Leo. I appreciated the effort made to make the video as distraction-free as possible. How did you make your animated audio visualization? Also, FWIW, I heard the opposite of many others. I though the difference in the top end was cleaner and more detailed on the Apollo. There will be a big different in people's preferences based on the kind of work they produce. For VO and narration that top end detail can be important.

You can use denatured alcohol if you milling aluminum.

It would be interesting to do the same thing with 50 gallon metal drum. If you laid the drum on the side, and left one end open, you could then set a second mic up at the opening, and blend the reverb. I bet you could get some interesting tones. You could probably just get a decent size metal trashcan instead. This type of experimenting is the stuff that I like. It offers producers/musicians/sound designers, exclusive sounds, that you can't find anywhere else, unless someone copies exactly what you're doing.

Hi I know this vid is 3 years old and sorry for being so late, (I have subscribed though :). I have an issue that I hope you can help with. I have built a binaural mic, using a polystyrene head and 2 lekato lav mics, my idea was to do headphone reviews and record the audio from the headphones using the head, now, both mics work perfectly if plugged into the phone, but even using a splitter I can't get stereo, wich is the whole point. But, what i need to do is use either my audio interface (presonus studio 24c) or my mixing Desk/interface (zoom livetrack L20) and give each mic its own channel and pan left and right. The mics are trrs and came with cables to adapt them to trs, but I can not get any sound from them using either option of interface, please please save my sanity and help me out. Thanks in advance Gray

Great tutorial 👽

You are a legend Leo. This is way better than any other desk build (even a desk sold by a manufacturer).

This video has THE MOST EPIC build montage music I’ve ever heard. Leo, where have you been? I’ve been rewatching your work, hope you are well.

That is a cool little product. Thanks for the info on hand soldering surface mount I'll have to go pick up a few smaller things for the fine soldering
