I built a Telecaster!
zhlédnutí 394Před 11 měsíci
In this episode, I'm showing off the Telecaster that I built from scratch over the last 6 weeks. This was through a class offered by @spampinatoguitars where they led me and 3 other students through the process of building a Telecaster from scratch. It turned out great! It may not be perfect or a Masterbuilt, but it is unique and it is mine :) Spampinato's website: www.spampinatoguitars.com/ I ...
Audio Scape 76A and Opto compressors - Unbox and Workout
zhlédnutí 3,2KPřed rokem
Today I'll be taking a look at a couple of compressors made in the USA by Audio Scape (or is it Audioscape?) Engineering. I'll look at the 76A Limiting Amplifier, which is a faithful clone of the famous 1176 (revision A) compressor from yesteryear. And I'll look at the Opto Leveling Amplifier, another faithful clone of the more-than-famous LA2A compressor. I'll go over the controls and features...

Just saying hi and taking a look at a few new things around the studio, after a very inactive year in 2022. We'll take a look at a Lego Fender Stratocaster and Princeton amp, a couple of Neumann U87ai mics that I've been enjoying, a workstation invading my "play" room, and the TC Electronic Clarity M Stereo meter/monitor. Oh, and the Reverb shop where I got the great deal on the U87s is Metropo...
Replacing the 3-way toggle on my Hagstrom Viking

In this episode, I'll be trying something I've never done before: replacing the 3-way toggle switch on my 2020 Hagstrom Viking semi-hollow electric guitar. The switch was never great, even right out of the box. But over the last several months it went from annoying to unreliable to outright malfunctioning. So I'll break out the soldering iron and the solder, disconnect the old 3-way toggle, and...

    Great video! Thanks so much for this review!!! For some reason, I like the Motu's preamps better. But when I listen to the audio playback, I hear the SSL sounding more defined, the instruments better placed in the mix, a more solid, wider, bigger stereo field, while the Motu sounds smaller, somewhat blurry, and with a thinner sound.

    Thank you for breaking down how the power option affects headroom! I definitely see the same issues you described! I’ve debated whether I should get some extra pieces like DI boxes or preamps to help combat the headroom issue or maybe getting a auxiliary power supply but I think I’ve ultimately decided to get another interface altogether! Would you happen to know of a similar interface that doesn’t have issues with headroom? I play guitar on the bridge humbucker with considerable gain and the steinberg doesn’t handle it well at all haha

      Hey that's great, a new space is always exciting and full of new challenges! The thing I struggle with the most in a new space is simply "going for it" and making music instead of waiting until I get the next upgrade or improvement in place. I think that I've actually created my best (or at least favorite) music when working within constraints and limitations. So I'd say go for it, start creating, and learn as you go!

The Motu while quieter and maybe more refined, had its soundstage firmly in the centre and was not open at all, it was also not as balanced in the frequency spectrum as the MBox, having a defined scoop in the centre frequencies. I returned yhe product to Amazon and bought a used MBox 3, which sounded way better than the Motu but no better than the original Mbox 1
