What's the difference between plugins and hardware? Couple thousand bucks and hand-wired circuitry? If you can afford a Neve or a Avalon 737 DO IT! But if you can't, don't ever feel like your music is any less than someone that owns it!!! It's not the machine! It's the operator!!!

Granted my interface and mic and plugin Choices definitely aren't cheap but still I'm not using any outboard gear it really is how you mix and master if you know what you're doing and experiment with different plugins you really can create a great mixing and mastering chain I've done it

@rikkshow 4 года назад

Not super clear but it looked like the plugin had about twice the gain reduction vs hw. So, yeah, vocals will pump then...

@vescopetcov Год назад

I've also noticed that. That would be true if the emulation is perfect and the meter is showing correct values. There are some plugin meters which don't work correctly. On the other side - If the metering is correct, the plugin had 15 dB of compression and the hardware only 7.

@walterjeworski4618 4 года назад

Hardware sounds so much better, wow. The plugins sound much less open and alive. The hardware brings the vocal performance to life the way it rides the transients & the way the top end smooths out. Sounds like a demo vocal vs a polished vocal to my ears. You can say “regular listeners won’t notice” but the way the vocal FEELS from the hardware - you can’t fool the ear into not picking up on the emotion it adds. Just my opinion though

@BoltieBolt 4 года назад

I noticed the same. The transient was not reduced by the plugin. It was not doing its job.

@maxreaper25 3 года назад

Couldn’t say it better myself

@JapaneseNathan 3 года назад

Was option B the hardware for the first test?

@sethbroner6798 3 года назад

Agreed

@madsonit 3 года назад

Of course it sounds better because he matched the settings, not the actual sound. You can totally see that the plugin was reducing even 20 db on some parts while the hardware version never went over 10dbs of reduction. Doesn't look like a fair test at all to me. The Softube CL1B is an amazing plugin for the price but like any digital effect, when you push it too much, it crumbles. You shouldn't compress more than 5-6 dbs anyway on a lead vocal no matter if you are in the analog or digital world and at that amount of GR, the Softube is really amazing. BTW, Serban Ghenea uses CLA76 as his main vocal compressor with GR between 3 and 6 dbs max. You guys knew that? Oh, one more thing - no hardware CL1B unit sounds the same as another and we don't know how the one the Softube team replicated sounds like.

You had the plugins set to reduce gain by much more. That's why it was pumping.

@CLdwyer 4 года назад

My observation. You get the results you like faster with the analog gear. The plugins actually require you to grind out more time for similar results. Dropping $10.000+ on a signal chain makes recording faster and more desirable **into the DAW** (no fussing around later). The time saved over 10 years with this gear is the difference between albums recorded simply on the basis of time saved. #worthit Saving for my SSL chain now but that Neve vibe got me very interested :) thanks Reid.

@CLdwyer 4 года назад

Mountain Mirrors - heavy acoustic vibe I agree with you wholeheartedly. A good song is the origin. But a recording/mixing job is not to fuck it up and good tools that give fast and reliable results prevent those risks. A good song can be ruined. My only investment in analog is in recording. Hard to replace that. Mixing is entirely in the box for the same reason: speediness & reliability of results.

@EliteOnTheBeat 4 года назад

@@CLdwyer Yes are "ears still wan't to hear things well" however YOU are thinking from a producers perspective. I completely agree that us producers can hear that the hardware sound better but do YOU honestly think the average consumer can tell the difference? Because the truth of the matter is THEY CANT! I've NEVER heard one of my friends/family say oh yeah i don't like this song because the sound the plugin gave the vocal. LOL. Cmon lets be honest man.

@CLdwyer 4 года назад

E L I T E O N T H E B E A T so you’re telling me that people won’t feel the difference between a muddy vocal or one without clarity. That’s bogus. They do. You can accomplish something clear and powerful with plugins or hardware. The hardware is simply about the “time” you save getting there *in the recording phase*. If your levels, dynamics and eq is right straight into the DAW, you don’t really get much better than that. The time and CPU power you save, plus the “finished” sound from the start is worth the pennies spent on good stuff.

@rrvsop2 4 года назад

The plugins sound perfect and don't have any flaws. Those minute flaws in the hardware create character. The vocal with the compression from Analog, had a more realistic feel, while the digital was a little more plastic. Overall, just having one real item at the end of the bus, could be a complete game-changer for digital production.

@whoisdark__ Год назад

I feel you, i think a hybrid analog/digital setup is ideal for modern music. Having a handful of carefully selected pieces of hardware and then plugins to make the rest will save your bank for sure haha.

it can. not wanting to criticize him cuz it's a good video and he makes great material, but the plugin is actually more flexible. i'd love to have the real thing, but the plugin can do stuff the original cannot. ie sidechain low end and a mix control for parallel compression. both are very handy to have.

Most of these plugins sound great in isolation, it's when you pit them up against their HW equivalents you hear the 3D'ness of the hardware. However, it's kindof the law of diminishing returns, you can get 90% the way with skilful mastery of plugins. Great video!

@MFASonic 3 года назад

3D. Depth. Plus working more intuitive and fast. That's all what is still exclusive to hardware. The rest can well be done with plugins, and those come with other great advantages like free routing and total recall.

I've never seen your vids before but love the way you commit with puppet hand matching puppet talking/actions lol. Great stuff, fun way to find your niche. Oh, hardware sounded better. It pushes and distorts better and sounds more 3D. Might not matter in a mix but it def. is audible.

@EMesi 4 года назад

This video was great and answered alot of questions for me!! One thing I wish was it showed the unison tech through UAD console with the ML-1 going through the plugins vs the C800 going through the hardware. I think I would get the software to have as a first step and something to practice on because both together are only 600 (plugins) vs about 5K for a Neve Preamp with EQ and a CL-1B. Buying the plugins IMO is a great first step in an investment towards the hardware

@jacobseal 2 года назад

Just stumbled upon this channel and had to check that I didn't do any drugs this morning. Anyway great, creative content. In More and more videos I am watching the hardware is winning by a significant margin. It's when you push it hard that you can really tell. The nice hardware grins happily where then plugins tend to fall apart. I did a vocals test using the CLA 1176(bluey) vs the 1176 hardware clone from mixanalog. I definitely preferred the hardware. It sounds less tubby, more focused, and it grabbed much harder and in a more pleasing way than the plugin did. I am convinced that I need to get 1 good hardware comp and 1 good hardware EQ.

@peterpavlonis227 3 года назад

Great video, When it comes to instruments plugins are fine, but having hardware for a frontend for vocals and acoustic guitar is still well worth it. This video confirms it. Also for me, Vocals are the main focus of my music, if your doing electronica or instrumental music maybe it doesn't matter as much.

@madsonit 3 года назад

Can you remake this test by actually matching the sound, not the settings? Your hardware unit was reducing a maximum of 10 dbs while the software was doing 20dbs in some parts.

@RJ1J 3 года назад

Exactly, this was a flawed test. If a compressor is pumping then that should be an easy fix by engaging the low end sidechain or lowering the input as you said. Hardware units often come out different and maybe it's this hardware that is different from the one Softube modelled for UAD. I've used the UAD TT MII and never got a pumping sound. I actually tried to make it pump but it was virtually impossible. UAD DBX however, try and stop that thing pump!

@manak1n 3 года назад

It could just be that the gainstaging was wrong on the software side, but I agree. Hardly a fair comparison when the sw side was being pushed way past the hw.

@grusticmyron7201 2 года назад

@tikkorome5752 3 года назад

Thank you for this. I was specifically trying to figure out what to do as far as a CL1B for my hardware 1073 and C800G chain. I'd already concluded that the Softube emulation wouldn't give me the smooth thickness I want from this chain and was looking to see if it was worth shelling out $300 for the UAD2 CL1B plugin while I work a new Tube-Tech into the budget. I still might get the plugin (for use in post) but I'm definitely getting the hardware for tracking. Just needed to hear it side by side one more time. Haven't used a real CL1B in a few years. Your videos also helped me feel more comfortable with my decision after I ordered my Sony C800G too so thanks for that as well.

@NVtheEngineer 4 года назад

I definitely liked the hardware chain better. The CL1B is goals for me when it comes to a hardware compressor. One day, one day.

@traviscumming3143 4 года назад

the 1073 emulation sounded really really good to me even if it wasn't as bright and smooth, i think that tubetechs richness and and the way its able to deal with the peaks make it a step above the plugin, also i could hear a slightly different colour when the tube tech hardware was used, but all in all they are great plugins no doubt about it, I've been trying to incorporate the tube tech into my vocal chain, but I'm enjoying their LA 2A emulation rn

@PhilRichardson44 3 года назад

Much less pumping on the hardware for me, the clarity and transparency seemed much better too with a more pleasing high end to my ear on the analogue gear! Great comparison, I like these direct comparisons, great vid

@spacecadet3879 4 года назад

From what I've heard and what I've been told by others, the harder you drive the hardware, the larger the difference you'll hear between analog and software. Tubes and transistors made back in the day were handmade with attention to detail and some materials that aren't available for use anymore. Eventually the plugins might be able to model the saturation/warmth/fullness of high end analog gear, but for now they will have to be second place by a little bit. Then again, there are strengths to both sides

@Allious131 4 месяца назад

@videomusic1381 4 года назад

7:30 the plugins really sound more muffled and boxed vs hardware open and help the vocal sit much better in the mix. The more plugins you add in your mix the flatter / boxed you get of course you can get good results in the end but the overall feel remains that Analog is more natural Another option => send it to analog mastering that will help a lot if you can;t get any hardware

@chrism5931 2 года назад

I've learned a lot from your videos. A LOT. I'm running the WA47/WA73EQ/WA2A for my primary chain. I tried to match it with the Slate Digital ML-1 to get a good stereo signal from an acoustic guitar. The ML-1 just pales in comparison. I really wanted this to work. I'm a big fan of the Warm Audio. Do you think it would be worth my time to add the EQP-WA to my rig? Are you a fan of that EQ?

@heythere6983 3 года назад

The only meaningful difference to me is that her vocals get louder and don’t sound as smooth and tastefully compressed ok the plugin, it peaks and gets louder. The analog smooths out better . BUT, is that worth the hardware idk? Because you can simply edit that peak with automation. I really don’t know I was about to buy a high quality 1176 and I don’t know if that extra money is worth a few minutes editing . Itl be a lil less of a pain but then it’s also a pain to carry around a big compressor with less flexibility . Idk. I’m a musician for 20 years and people get real carried away with certain tone perspectives. The only relevant thing to me is that volume jump . Isn’t there a waves plugin that can take care of this automatically? I feel like there is

I can definitely hear the difference the hardware sounds more open and gives the vocal more definition. It also puts the vocal in a slightly better sonic space. You can still get away with using the plugin and getting a great sound.

I think where I run into problems is when clients of mine have used the UAD apollo to record their own vocals but driven the chip-based pre really HARD and it's much less forgiving than hardware on that front. Some CARE when using the UAD and you can get great results!

I'm glad you really showed this. Because some of these mix engineers can be really misleading some of these younger engineers that work from home. If you want a professional sounding vocal you need to run it through some kind of circuitry. I'm planning on getting some kind of preamp to record vocals with.

Not true. Tony Maserati himself who uses tons of Analog vouches that Tchad Blake can get a beautiful analog sound completely in the box. It is complete barnacles that you need "some kind of circuitry" for a professional sounding vocal. Look at Alex Tumay who mixes Young Thug. You are wrong.

@@Test-ue5po you dont "need" analog gear. But it does speed up the process. I've used both and I can say that having hardware is much faster to get the sound you want.
