1073's... Real deal or one of the many clones?

Hey all. Besides a couple Hairball Coppers, I've yet to have a 1073 style preamp. One studio I track at has six of them and a pair of Great Rivers, which all get used every time. I don't feel I NEED one, but there has to be a reason why they're so popular and copied. Have we finally got to the point...

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....

I did order this: https://www.proaudiostar.com/audix-club-kit.html for $169+ tax, you get a D6, i5, OM2, mic clips, and an aluminum flight case (and from what I understand some other stuff too - coffee mug, t-shirt, etc) and that's all for less than what they want for just the D6 mic ($199). So eve...

Re: Tracking bands without a console is a PITA!

This might not be the most helpful post here — but just to make sure we get you feeling less gas-lit by your hardware.... You're NOT missing anything — the focusrite stuff sounds good, but their monitoring control panel is straight up garbage. I've used a lot of brands of I/O control panel before: ...

Re: Tracking bands without a console is a PITA!

I hear you. I've slowly been weaning myself off the console the past 5 years. A benefit of having a TDM rig for awhile and then an HD rig, I didn't have to worry about latency when going hybrid. I'm just now using a non-HD, native rig and still trying to get the muscle memory going on with having Fo...

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....

I don't have those particular modules but I do have a preamp from AML (or Audio Maintenance Ltd - in the UK) - I've the 5003D, which is not made anymore and it's fantastic sounding. It was prebuilt (and only sold that way). I've been tempted build some of the kits but don't have any more empty slot...

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....

Ex-pats coming home! Since the currently dominant social media platforms are starting to look like creepy abandoned shopping malls... I'm not surprised we're all wandering back to the friendly TOMB. This has always been the only "social media" that didn't cause me to drink even more and hate humani...

Re: The bottom of the snare

The Reaper gate lets you mix in some noise. (beats me why they didn't also include a tuneable sine generator :???: ) That’s interesting. I tried reaper back in the day but I wasn’t computer literate enough to really get the most out of it at the time. I should revisit it. Same. I recently downloade...

Re: Saturation Tools and Tricks

I've dabbled with Saturn2, but tended to get overwhelmed by the options...I need to put some more time into this. I tend to prefer simple and effective plugins, apparently. Yeah, I actually demoed Saturn a while back and didn’t buy it. I thought it was too complicated and I ended up going with the ...

I haven’t heard of Kazrog Iron before, but I’m gonna demo it. $37 seems like a really good price.
It's subtle (most of the time) but adds up! I'm actually mixing in the box now! ahahah. (yeah, I'm a late bloomer).

Re: Saturation Tools and Tricks

For some mono sources, I still like to use guitar pedals like a Boss Blues Driver. The Boss Blues Driver has been my most used and valuable pedal in the last 15 years of me owning it. It's on bass, it's on guitar, it's on everything. I even got Keeley to mod it back when they were still offering th...

Re: Saturation Tools and Tricks

I've been really enjoying the Kazrog True Iron plugin lately. Mostly subtle, but sounds good at extreme settings too. Love that plug in! I haven't tried HEAT yet, and wondering if those two are very similar? This along with Decapitator (I usually have two-three instances of it per mix), Devil Loc, ...

Re: The bottom of the snare

Maybe someone can help us both! I always mic it, usually with a 57 or lately the little clip on Sen 609? or whatever. I try to get the same distance and angle as the 57 on top. Then I hate it, er I mean gate it. (I finally accepted Fabfilter as my personal digital savior), so I use the Fab gate and...

Re: monitors

Holy Fuck, those are cool looking!! I have to ask, what color did you go with? What amp are you using with them? What amp are you using for the Amphions as well? White suits my room and even though I thought about doing something really crazy, I like the white contrast with the black speakers. So h...

Re: monitors

So, this thread is awesome cause I have literally changed my entire monitoring chain in the last two years and couldn’t be happier. Sorry for the long post: For the last 10 or so years I used the original Adam A7s along with a sub from time to time and a pair of little Sony computer speakers. I was...
