Analog Drum Buss Breakdown 

top 10 production videos on youtube

Over time I’ve accepted that I go through seasons with DAWs. There’s times when I feel like an idiot for ignoring the functionality and capabilities at my fingertips. Then there’s time when I don’t even want a computer in the studio. I’ve accepted both and settled somewhere in the middle. Whenever I lean towards one over the other I’ve begun using it as a sign to switch something up. It could be something as simple as starting with the melody first instead of the bassline, or some more vast like completely rerouting my studio. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and interactions with sound on your channel brother. Peace.

Man I love your page as an engineer it is really cool to see all your outboard gear is super fresh vintage gear with warmth.

Cool signal chain, drums sound nice and punchy (especially the snare)! Very cool, thanks for sharing.

Love the analog mix setup

DYNAMIC SIDECHAIN PROCESSING (D S P) BEAUTIFUL!

Thoughtful, and wonderfully accessible. Looks like alot of fun. Nice collection! Great breakdown!

Pure analogue goodness!!

Well done Eddie! Thats some serious hardware.

finally my algorithm got it right for once.. glad to have found your channel

damn I\m so happy i found this channel

That was Slick.

Hi Eddie nice mixer and nice gear, great sound design, congrats for your new studio. Regards ¡

Let's gooo, welcome back Eddie.

Very warm and raw sound! Glad to see the dbx119 it's an insane drum smasher!

Bruh i been searching for an Allen & Heath mixer for the longest. also that Pultec is something i need next in my setup! loving the beat!

Great video Eddie! I'm sure gonna check out more of your stuff. Keep it up man!

Awesomeness. I love seeing people use DBX products. One of the las American made great companies

great video as always

Loving your channel bruh. I’m so glad I found it. Keep ‘em coming.

What a nice crusty warm sound. Dope !

Exactly where I’m headed with my routing situation right now. Can’t wait

Dope Set Up!

analog drum bussy fr 😎

This guy is tha man 👨 👌

Nice beat. Cool stuff.

Awesome set up and workflow, drum programming is fire

What a dope page man. Subbed!

Man you are getting some cool old school tones!

Just found your channel. Great stuff man.

Great , love seeing you work your gear . Give me hope for my set up . Thanks 🙏🏾 💯

Loving it

Awesome

That snare is nastyyyyy. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Your MPC workflow is nasty. Dope video thanks for sharing!

Bro this is amazing. Keep making these videos

Came for the shelf sag...stayed for the drum sounds, lol. A couple of Sibbhult brackets from Ikea ($1 each) did wonders for adding support for my garage shelves.

That last beat is tight bro !

super dope

LUV U EDDIE

Solid video, as usual. 💯 This is the first time I've seen anyone with an LA-4 in their setup. Most people who make beats and have an analog setup gravitate towards the DBX160. In The Box, I have Fuse Audio Labs' VCL-4, an emulation of the LA-4, which I often use on my drum buss; just a touch of it brings everything to life similar to a limiter, but with Opto buttery-ness.

Great video

Love the gear! 🎛🔥

Man. This is inspirational. Really nice!

Thanks for sharing, appreciate the outboard gear breakdown!

Dope setup my brother! Love the visuals, what camera do you use?🙏🏾✊🏾💚

Great one, thank u eddie

Love that hedgy funk beat 👍🔥

Thanks for sharing. When you put that eq on that snare?! 😮 woohh that’s prob what made the garage so hot mane lol dope

Your vids are really inspiring 🔥

Great stuff. New sub.

Nasty!

OmG!!! Nice!!!

Nice

If I had the time and space bro. Strictly in the box nowadays but I miss the thickness of my Akai 950s running into hardware outboard.

Dope video. You might want to convert it to Rec709... or not, nice look...

Might need to get some of that old gear recapped. Its a noisy mess

This sounds absolutely KILLER. It's videos like this that really make me want to get my hands on a 1176-like comp and something like a 1081 and Pultec clone but I just can't justify the prices knowing I have pretty much perfect replicas in VST format, of which I can use as many instances as I want. So what made you go for physical hardware instead of in the box mixing? Is it just the workflow you have in mind?

im in love

I gotta get back on my game

That's a nice collection of gear, can I ask how you payed for it, My first time here just interested to know.

Are those Oxford channels on your left? Good videos btw 🔥🔥🔥

Do you have any drum packs with this crunch and warmth? One shots and drum loops? I love this bus but don’t have much analog gear or know where to start! The most analog I have is the sp-404mkii

That old Alesis Wedge sounds pretty nice, i assumed they were junk due to the price.

Woukd it be better to compress after the reverb, maybe on a mix insert?

The extra Uumph added to the drums is niiice. Just elevated the Smack n pounding on em. Just wondering, i use an OG MPC2k and just started recording onto software , but started lookin into stand alone analog to compressor to run the beats through. Is there a compressor or 2 that you can recommend that I look into? Something that won't break the bank , but is solid? thank you in advance

Have you tried isolated power strips for the noise? I had something similar and a trip lite isobar made it go away 😅

does your snare peak past zero decibels? it sounds distorted but some how sounds tamed

you could approximate this in the box for sure, but i dont care what anyone says, its not going to sound as good as pushing it through actual gear like youre doing.

All these modern gear junkie hipsters claiming "Dawless" that come across this video will be crying onto their teenage engineering digital screens and cheap plastic blip blop machines, just wishing they would of saved their money and bought something with some actual personality and real sound potential.

I don't mean any disrespect but take all that over priced outboard you have, stop running it though that desk and infact sell all almost. If you want to mix on a board, which I can totally understand why, take the money you got from selling the VU DBX's and Urie plus RND and what looks to be a 1073opx (like why?) sell it all and buy a better desk that you can actually mix on. Buy some efx and an cheap old reel to reel for delay returns on the aux. You can get some absolute gems board for 4-5 grand or as little as under a grand on the used markets of lesser known pro desks from the 80's and 90's. You could get a sound craft ghost for under a GRAND!, plenty of hits made on that and you can mod it to sound world class, again really powerfull eq parametric which is what you need for hip-hop, both have great routing and aux's. You could find a MCI 600 for that money, same desk DnD used, although it won't sound as good as the ghost yet cost you more. As for compressors, some old DBX 160's in the 1 u rack format are great for hip-hop, they used to be pretty cheap only a few hundred bucks, DnD had racks full of em. If you want a comp that does it all buy a couple of Kush Audio Tweakers, you will never need another comp as they can do all of them in one unit while costing a fraction of the price. You don't need half that gear, but you do need a better desk that can be used to it's full potential which in turn you push you more.

Super noisy bro...
