Analog VS Digital by Andrew Scheps (Gear Porn!) 

except that's obviously a crock of shit he made up to pimp waves plug ins.

+wiremessiah-----Hahahahahahah well I can see staying ITB if he's working on a lot of different projects.

experiment0003 first off who cares? Secondly why would I tell you that you don’t have $50.k worth of gear that’s nothing! I have a good amount of gear do you see me trying to prove it some stranger? Hahaha.

@@RiotHomeRecording damn, I'm over here with nothing lol

The III The guy I replied to erased his message saying he had $50.k worth of gear. I have a screen shot of it before he turned straight coward and erased it.

+pureMix I thought as much!

+Abir Tarafdar I've been watching his videos all over RU-vid and have thought the same thing. He just seems like a really nice-and honest, unassuming-guy.

Abir Tarafdar Genius!!!!

He is a really friendly guy.

Abir Tarafdar And, by far, of the most cerebral human beings I've ever known (quite possibly, to ever have existed)!💯 #YepHesJustThatIntellectual #VERYLaidBackAndHumble Hymn

great!! glad it helps!

+19Luke89 @ 3:25 "Before some famous guy bought the console" I was just about to post that!! lol

Even tracking, I think mixers would prefer you keep compressors and eqs out of the way of the signal so that they can have the cleanest purest signal to start with...mic modelling is maybe going to be the last frontier....when we all start to use flat reference mics then use a plugin to make them into U47s etc.

You can have clean analog gear EQs compressors...hour converters are supposed to be clean n transparent....etc

Analog does not mean saturation and dirtiness.... : ) it depends on your recording. dynamic range, rms etc....noise floor....production type....etc

Scheps, Guzauski, Needham, Fab (The Arrows).

Nicolas Guerrieri must Google pure mix

Hybrid is the BEST WAY TO GO. Track through hardware, mix through software, and then master with hardware. That's my philosophy.

yes there is, it is called a hybrid approach, the best of both Worlds. Every Mixer and producer should and must learn what has been done to be the best and find his/her own style......that is ideally but in the Music Industry for this most people do not go to school ..so bygones

Yep!!!!!

I know what you are talking about and I own a "cheap" allen & heath ZED420 mixer, along with some better outboard :D something about real physics going on, when you can kind of feel what is actually happening with the signal and how you can use that.

100%...he actually says something like that when he talks about garbage pre's and such, but this guys is top of the food chain and typically mixes the big boys who track very well, not the beginners that use the pre's on their interfaces and the $100 Chinese mics. with that said he can make the cheapo tracks sound better ITB than most of us mixing with the best gear in the world! I'm a huge fan of his

If you Record something with a bad instrument player, cheap gears in a bad recording Room. All this consoles Will do nothin to the song. Good mix start allways from the 0 point aka ideia and the musicians.

Gottfried von Bouillon hundreds of thousands I’m sure, that’s crazy gear.

He’s done multiple albums on his laptop while on vacation, so there’s that.

It does add not just the weight, but stereo dimension and color...etc....you must be a beginner and the next Gammy Award recipient...you never know!!!

Exactly ! That's why we have Brick wall limiters that only digital can do period

@ReaktorLeak Buffering

If you listen to the vid, he says “it’s super fast, to the point where THEY FEEL like it’s too fast to model.” He’s not giving his personal opinion on programming, he’s relaying someone else’s opinion as it was told to him. Given the context, it sounds like it’s the people who made the unit itself.

@@zachary963 Ok, whoever got that opinion is wrong, perhaps trying to put out selling points, still, no hardware will ever be faster than a plugin, that's simply impossible.

Can you please explain this the correct way from an engineering perspective? really..... can you give an example and correlate a plugin and an analog piece in real time? Thank you

Yes. "Fab" comes off as very insecure. He's all ego. Just sit there and listen. He has a know-it-all attitude and it only highlights his insecurity. I don't like a single record that guy has worked on.

Brandon Enn sounds like a projection ... Who cares about your perception of his ego... Do u actually know him personally? Judge not

Why are you taking it personally? Is he your hero or something? He's a guy who is conducting an interview poorly because he doesn't know how to shut up and let the other person speak. This is a clear observation. Not projection. Anyone without the good sense or manners to allow someone to finish their thought before beginning to talk over them - is a schmuck. It's different if the conversation is flowing. But this is not the case here. Im not judging the man's personal character. I'm commenting on his public persona and more importantly, his behavior. It's not perception to say that he didn't allow the person to finish; it's a fact. That makes him a jackass. It is consistent with the rest of what I've seen of him; a pompous and ego-driven speaker who hasn't produced a single song I consider music. I am allowed to say that. There are far worse things out there than someone calling this guy out on his rude manners. Get real. Is this fab, himself? Did I hurt your ego?

He managed to get a gear head to do a walkthrough of his stacks of porn in a short space of time... whatever, i don't really care. I just came here to learn from people with way more experience than me and lust over shit i cant afford, not to judge their character... i've watched Fab in the Dangerous walkthroughs and i thought he was very clear in his communication, with a dry sense of humour.. which i personally liked... each to their own i suppose

agreed. fab has this french arrogance while andrew is a humble master.

lol right!

It is right there....Hybrid is the best of both Worlds..that is engineering not them that is fact. They just use the tools

100ns signal period would equal 10 MHz and would be in the ns domain. He tell us, that this would far from being audible and I guess he is right.

Its just French humour ... don't take it to heart

Mic

Well, yeah, but Scheps actually knows how those nerdy technical specs translate to helping the art of music. Put THAT in your pipe and smoke it

ANPHKI i agree with you my friend, but what's wrong in an hobbyst middle aged men working on vintage motorbikes etc etc? that means fun, and fun brings good music sometimes, while it still brings fun :-) the question is: what is the fucking language im writing in? :-)

Wrong. Next time, when you're *trying* to be clever, try to be a bit less predictable. Even if your intelligence level is not necessarily that up to par, give it a go.

è un mondo di assunzioni... sorry guys notifies are evil! mappoi, perchè tanto odio? :-)

"My music is coming out shortly" - I've certainly never heard this statement before, haha. You rockstar you. I bet it's fucking amazing shit, revolutionary stuff. Just so you know, there's this loads of guys who only have a PC and a Virtual Sampler, and they do amazing artistic music that stands the test of time. Your shit is probably _the_ definition of derivative. Gear doesn't mean shit. For talented people at least. For schlobs without talent of unique vision like you, studio hardware is everything.

I definitely agree with your opinion more than I agree with the guy who has worked with Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Adele, and many others.
