Ok, so I'm looking at this 3 years later. I'd be VERY interesting in hearing your thoughts on the Raven now, please share. I REALLY wanted a Raven panel. After much research I decided against it based on the issues I have heard others having with them. Actually I wanted the whole desk SOOO bad, but not if it doesn't work reliably. I'm thinking of getting a touch screen monitor and hooking it up to my PC via a monitor arm, or maybe a touch screen portalbe monitor, it would be way less expensive and all I'd use it for is to view the mixer window in Studio One. I use a Streamdeck with studio on so I probably don't need the Raven software. Have you takien a look at the Faderport 8 and 16 devices? I picked up a Faderport 8 a whlie back, and the only drawback I have in using it is that it has only 8 channels! It works that good, expecially in Studio One. Seriously, take a look at these modules if you haven't already.
so the fader port can work in conjunction with the ravens? I guess I should get the fader port 8. I had no idea that u could use anything in tandem, I thought u would lose the touch screen funcionality
The yellow tracks at 4:00 all have the same plugins from what it looks like. Couldnt those all be routed to the same bus with those plugins to save cpu? Legit question not tryna come off the wrong way btw
No offense taken, I just didn’t know what you were referring to. The tracks in yellow are on a vox bus.. but they do have some slight differences in the plugins on that chain. The 4 verse vox tracks include background and ad libs with different settings than the lead.
thats what i was wondering too, but i see dude never even replied back. i have it turned down and monitoring thru the daw, but it sounds like shit..distorted
I don’t understand because on my VMS one, I use the emulation also use the unison preamp, and when it’s in the daw, I can switch through microphones and change a different sound for each microphone, or I can do it your way, use as many plugins as I want and not run out of DSP because I have a UAD2 8 core satellite
I was wondering, I got the Slate digital mic but I also have the Scarlett 2i2 interface, I really want to use the virtual microphones is it still possible?
How do you feel about this microphone for voiceover work? if I wanted a crispier/brighter microphone and select the c800 option or go for something a little darker and choose the 47 emulation
Hello, could you please help me with something ? I am a windows user without thunderbolt. The guy at the store told me not to take the twin usb stating that the converter on the newer solo usb3 was better. So I took Apollo usb3. Now I realize that I cannot use fender twin + another dsp demanding plugin like chamber. Can I record with the fender first then apply on the track a chamber after tracking the fender (don t know it there is a lost in quality in reprinting something …? Is it true that for windows I just have the choice between new Apollo solo usb3 and old Apollo twin usb and that the old Apollo twin usb is less good sounding that the new Apollo solo usb3? Thank you very very much if you could answer. At the end of the day all I wanted was a twin Apollo with usb - but he told me he just has older twin usb that we’re less good than the new Apollo. I think the guy did not have a twin usb and sold me that.
It is true that for Windows you only have the options of the solo and the older usb twin. I can’t say for sure though whether the newer USB solo has a Better DA converter. You can Record one of the plug-ins,/print to track, and then add the other one as an insert. Personally there are ya plug-ins that I print to track 100% of the time. Sidenote, last year I bought a Mac and the Apollo twin X to be a bit more mobile, and to take better advantage of my UA plug-ins. Nonetheless I still print some plugins to the track.
@@Callthatreverendmusic just like send it out to the Apollo again and re-record it. Just like all guitars are reamped in modern rock music. Might need a reamp box. But never tried it before. So I don’t know if it works or it’s beneficial…
That is what I was wondering now that the offer is back on! I love apollo technology to record already printed signals and save on DSPs so the Slate one might be fun as you said only if out first in the chain without any unison technology plug activated on insert in the uad console. Great video and great analysis
Is there also a way to automate turning On/Off any FX? For instance this filter even if it's all the way up, it still messes a little bit with the sound. Is there a way to turn it of at some point and automate that?
I doubt it. Spark does not include all of their plug-ins. But you gave me a great idea. I’ll do a video where we compare the Avalon plug-in as an insert versus as a Unison preamp.
@@Callthatreverendmusic right. Because now we don’t need to use the Apollo interface to use uad plug ins. I’m sure eventually the rest will become available. I just Bought a new interface I’m a bit annoyed but this is still new.
To be transparent, this channel used to be mostly videos of music that I created. In the past couple years I’ve shifted from producing mostly for leases and sync licenses to situations that require a bit more confidentiality. I do however still occasionally post clips and share live videos of me producing on Instagram. @andrewcoxsr
Open the install file, install in the folder of your preference, then go back to studio one options Under locations, and select the VST plug-ins tab. Add the folder location of the VST’s that you just installed And you should be good to go.
@@Callthatreverendmusic DOPE! Thanks! I went thru both but may have to eliminate the Slate Pre…can you shoot me an image or send the preset of the AVALON settings? Since you already have it setup right would be GREAT!
Yes indeed. That’s a great interface. I don’t think you should be concerned. Furthermore, I think slate is aware that their preamp is the weak link in the vms system. That is why they choose to do so much more promo on the mic.
You honestly don't have to do all of that since studio one allows you to record plugins on input, you can literally keep uad setup and still utilize the slate mics on input in studio one
@@Callthatreverendmusic It could still work if you add the avalon preamp on the Record In (Input) track and not an insert and it would be printed in order?
I bought an apollo solo usb-c from GC yesterday and was excited to set it up and try it out...many hours later frustration!!!! The set up, download, and registration went smooth. My computer recognizes it and I have the console window etc...but I get no signal input into either on the device itself nor on the console view on the computer. I have tried 2 different mics and 2 different mic cables. Phantom power is engaged and the input is set mic. I have also tried a guitar into the front with 1/4 guitar cable... still nothing!....please I need help...this is so frustrating! My system is i7 processor, windows 10, and I'm using studio one for DAW. Thank you kindly.
Hey Rev I enjoyed the video...im looking to get back into home-based recording after a decade of not doing it or having any equipment... I have a PC and it is also touch screen(HP spectre) it has one USB 3 port and 2 USB- C ports. I've been debating getting this Apollo solo or do I just wait for the Volt to come out.....the price of the Solo is no longer $500 like you had said..its over $700 now...the Volt is only $300. I mainly just do guitar and vocals however occasionally I want to do a full production with drums bass and keys and some fiddle and steel overdubs etc...so the thing is for me is I'm gonna be using studio one for my DAW with a faderport(presonus). So vocal quality is everything for me...thats why I want those higher quality mic pre amps...So my question is..now that you've had your solo for a while now...is it still good...any hick ups..or issues running with windows USB-C? and my second question is which would you recommend the solo, or Volt? I was also reviewing the zen go and the Audient... they seem pretty comparable and solid as well...I would just love to hear your thoughts.. Thanks Rev.
Hey man I have been rocking with my Apollo solo for a while, I loved it so much that for my portable rig I got an Apollo twin X. I haven’t had any trouble running the Apollo on PC using the USB C. And I did see that they stop selling the solo for 500. That’s because they are only selling the heritage edition with the additional plug-ins. I can’t say Whether or not the volt would be a good cheaper alternative. I haven’t used it yet, but when I do I’ll be sure to shoot a vid. What I can tell you though is that I am extremely satisfied with my UA Apollo products
@@Callthatreverendmusic cool man thanks Rev...turns out I had a defective unit...took it back and they exchanged it...brought it home...it works fine....I am quickly finding out about the whole "dsp" issue though....I think I'm seeing a twin in my near future...lol
Thanks for the video! Idk about with Pro Tools, but with Studio one you can definitely add as many HW controllers as you want. I have an SSL Nucleus and the Raven works seamlessly with it for Studio One, logic and Cubase.
Your video helped me decide to get the core station mti2 with 2 sidecars. I put station together yesterday, I wanted to ask you do I really need a powered usb hub running at 60Hz to ensure I get no lag and how do I connect that second raven to the first? Appreciate your help. Thanks
I have never heard about the 60hz thing, nor did I hear that you need a powered usb hub, but I wasn’t looking for that info either. I was going directly into my tower. Powered usb hub couldn’t hurt. To run the dual raven setup you need two video ports on your to connect to. They do not daisy chain to each other.
I love the TLM103. I would tell you to get both lol. But if you have to choose, get the slate. Reason? You are practically getting several mics for the price of one. If you record different voices/instruments, you will appreciate versatility of the Slate
@@Callthatreverendmusic Thank you! I only record my voice. Do you think that there is a better option at 1000 dollars?. And if I choose the TLM 103, do you think that I need a better interface for it to sound as it should sound or it's the Focusrite 2i2 enough?
I've been mixing and recording for over 5 years. I've downloaded and used plug-ins and effects from almost every major distributor. V12 plug-in won't load into Studio One. Licensing is all screwed up. Their downloader is crap. Worse VST purchase I've made. I'm out $32. Big waste of time.
