07:43 This makes SO MUCH SENSE!! No matter how good a product is, if it's software-driven, the company responsible for supporting it will not support it forever. First of all, they want to innovate and expand, and old software just doesn't last. Second, it will eventually become obsolete, and software companies just love to make their customers upgrade. Thirdly, there's no guarantee a company will last as long as their hardware. If a company is bought by another, the old software will no doubt be expunged or forced to upgrade. I really love this tip. Thank you for sharing!

@ILoveTelecasters 4 месяца назад

I personally think that a piece of hardware that could be controlled with software AS WELL as manually is a perfect case of best of both worlds. So when the software inevitably isnt supported it still works. Imagine your whole mix bus being recalled to the same setting you left it at last in the session - as well as tweaking knobs the exact same way! 😍

@justingambino2186 Год назад

the losing your cool tip with a client is something I've always heard and known as well as strived for.. but was something that was only truly learned through experience.. its such a massive tip on what not to do. Every artist is so different in expectations and how they operate and prefer to work the clashing of personalities is something I wish I learned sooner and earlier on. something that has helped bring me back to earth is reminding myself recording/mixing/mastering is a service industry egos need to be left at the door if this is a service you are providing and it honestly doesn't matter what you want or think needs to happen with your clients music they are king when it comes to all decisions and revisions. this was a big hurdle for me when starting out.

Hardware not supported by Software anymore…had that issue like two times with recording stuff. A pretty old focusrite interface. It was working fine. There was no iodate available anymore, but still worked on my mac OS. Than I updated the OS and it just stopped working. It was okay for me because it served me like 10 years or so just fine. Than i ordered the slate interface, wich did go bad after a half year. Loved the sound and the build quality. So I sended it back Thomann. Didn’t had them in stock, so I got my money back. Like a few weeks later Slate announced that it’s not longer supported and they stop the production of it. I was so lucky that it got broken, after I heard that. 😂 Got an Apollo few weeks later. Everything works great :)

I'm an IT guy for a living, a musician for fun, and occasionally a sound guy/recording guy...I hate hardware that requires software from a vendor to keep functioning with a passion. You are 100% correct that at some point support for those pieces of kit will be de-orbited, and everybody using their stuff gets hung out to dry.

@amdenis Год назад

Great videos and wonderful suggestions. Most are things that are also good common sense based stuff. One thing I do a bit differently is the regular listening to music almost every morning. I find that the “top-10” stuff on a daily or weekly basis gets filled with a bunch of music that (1) seldom stands-up over time; (2) is all too often either sub-optimally recorded, and/or based on musical performances that they had to poke and prod to some point of being good/interesting to listen to. I find it a lot more beneficial to create my own daily mix from (a) songs from the past year’s top-50 coupled with (b) best-produced, well-mixed/mastered great performances for the musical types representative of the types of sessions you have that day.

@trebleboost7 Год назад

Spot on about the software+hardware comment. This is absolutely true. Even if you keep the ecosystem alive at some point the hardware will fail too. Underscores the need to backup everything frequently in the most benign format available to preserve the IP. Everything fades. Entropy. And, have you ever taken an inventory of how many incompatible formats you have around? All needing the correct ‘translation’ to work? It is staggering. At the same time it is wonderful when everything comes together and you make something amazing. Nice video and keep up the great work!

@kingalysterianlion5542 Год назад

Hey Colt! So, in an effort to satisfy both of our curiosity about this, I reached out to the folks at Bettermaker. And let me just say that their products are cooler than I initially realized. Their products are completely analog with an additional circuitry board to handle the recall capabilities. Even if your daw crashes or say the products were just going to be installed in a completely analog environment, their products will still work. Even without the plugin. They are not plugin dependent and contain a completely analog signal chain. So it would be a piece of gear that is not plugin dependent. Which I think is super awesome! Doing this research today has made me really consider getting some of their gear now that I know how well made they are and that they will still have full functionality without being connected to a computer. You can also use the LCD display to dial in and save settings without the need of the plugin. I hope that you found this information useful.

@kevinlentz7604 Год назад

Right on colt awesomeness as usual

@pwrmac7600 Год назад

Yup! If ya tune down to the note, the instrument will inevitably come right back out of tune because of string slippage. Tuning up to the note keeps the tension on the string which will result in much much much less detuning due to slippage.

Reaper is the only ethical daw. Endless free evaluation and then a cheap enough perpetual license. All the improvements are user driven, sounds great, endlessly customisable. Coded by the guy who coded winamp back in the day! Its a subject very close to my heart after removing Adobe and Steinberg from my life for their shitty subscription practices. The alternatives are getting better every day

@RAndrewNeal Год назад

@@bazjaddley6369 Good to hear. My dad's a Reaper user and he seems to enjoy it. I still want to go DAW-less regardless. Something more fun about being involved in every operation, having real-time influence on the mix and the creativity that results from working within limitations.

Totally agree on the software-operated hardware. What has happened to me more often is that the operating system for my computer gets upgraded, but the manufacturers of some gear item don't update their software to run on it, and it's done. I want a microphone like the one that Elvis sang into at Sun Records in the '50s (it probably still works).

Related to the part about software driven hardware.... The algorithm is real. I just got off the phone with a Sweetwater rep. We were talking about the WesAudio ngBusComp. Hopped onto RU-vid and this video was in my feed. 🧐

@TonyThomas10000 Год назад

You can use downward expansion in the place of gates. Limited mixes sound more "radio ready". Also, hardware does not necessarily hold its value or increase in value unless it its "vintage". There is also upkeep and maintenance involved--like changing out caps and other components when they die--and discrete components are becoming hard to find. That is why I prefer software to hardware in many cases. Lower purchase price and maintenance costs.

@markkapner Год назад

Totally with you on software driven hardware. I understand the appeal, but to me it falls under the category of "buy cheap, buy twice". I get bang for your buck, but that hardware will be worthless in the future (as you said). I appreciate you calling that out.

@m.o.n.d.e.g.r.e.e.n Год назад

i think this also speaks to good business sense in purchasing and making sure your purchases (while having to support an artistic goal) also have to make economical sense in the future if the purchaser is intending to stay in the business of doing music for their living. i dont think this gets spoken about as much as it probably should

@allmetaliswelcome Год назад

Your software-driven hardware point is an interesting one. Never thought about the lifespan of a piece of software but of course you're totally right. I suppose with the software recallable compressors and EQ's at least they'll still work on their own... But yea good luck using your modeling mic once the company goes out of business or further supporting their product

@HR2635 Год назад

well kind of... but then again: some modelling mics actually sound wonderful even without the modelling. I often use my Slate ML-2 without emulation.

@aleksamrkela831 Год назад

Exactly. The compressors and EQs are still analog, and they'll work even without the plugin controllers (such as Wes Audio's). I find it weird that Colt had that glossed over.

@KitsuneAlex Год назад

You are absolutely right about the hardware not being supported anymore by its software. A good way to go with an interface in my opinion, is getting a good to high-end common PCM interface with at least a 16-bit DAC/ADC, or even multiple stereo ones and then tying them into your setup using ASIO4All, it's a free and open source tool that lets you turn any "common" audio codec into a studio-suitable interface (latency wise, since ASIO4All operates as its own virtual audio driver). It also lets you turn multiple separate audio interface devices into one big virtual device, which is great for a console I/O to your music software. PCM codecs never stop being supported, since they're based on one of the most common standards in PC Audio. This also means if you've got decent hardware, it won't degrade a lot, or a lot less, since you can still use it. Even the operating system and your choice of music software doesn't matter with it. Great video, keep it coming :)

@ColtCapperrune Год назад

@Juliano_DJOL Год назад

100% agree to the software hardware and feel your pain I have had to leave some tools behind thru the years, some were missed some weren't but I feel like in 2012ish also of my gear went from being worth a good amount of money to very little. Not all my stuff and I still have alot of stuff from when I first started but as far as software goes yeah NO for me if it needs the cpu, thats why I haven't ever got a machine or NI controller (even tho I have come close) and I might still one day.

@iamtonisilvers Год назад

@kianooshshakeri7864 Год назад

@DevoT Год назад

That's so weird, just the other day I was burning a first draft, barely mixed CD for a client to listen to in the car after 5 days of recording. I debated putting a limiter on it so that it would be loud enough through the stereo. I decided against it because I didn't want the raw tracks to be colorized or altered in any way that might effect the clients perception. I explained that it would be much quieter than the radio/itunes/cds so not to let that bother them. I basically just wanted to make sure the client could hear all the various takes/tracks/instruments and make sure that no further recording was necessary. I will probably put a limiter on any further mixes now. Good advice overall. It can be hard not to show frustration at a session that is going poorly.

@Only1Science Год назад

That was one of the reasons why I sold my Townsend. Also, my Mojave MA-201 fet sounded more like a U87 than my actual U87. A lot of the models we spot on in character, but not in sound (if that makes any sense).

@CryzorBeatz Год назад

really good point at the end ! So I have one question to al this hardware stuff.. So I want to start using more hardware like EQ's Comp's and my point is how expensive is hardware when it comes to using power because a plugin don't need more power than your computer have.

@hillie47 Год назад

ESPECIALLY loved that last one! I'm a full-time hobbyist, but my day job is in high tech (a chip design sub-field). All those things that have a requirement for a plugin, even if it's just for configuration should be able to host a simple webpage that you can access through USB or whatever, or have a good enough display. It's just a planned short lifespan. For audio interfaces, I've completely switched to RME, purely because of their lengthy support for old devices. But any HW that could very well be standalone but needs a computer connection to either work or have its functionality be accessible, yeah, nah thanks. PS. Did Steven Slate show up yet to complain? ;)

The software driven hardware point is a real good one. I only bought the Slate ML-1 because it was on sale. I have plenty of great mics, just wanted to try it. Bought it a year ago, and it is still in the box. I've bought a lot of software. The only Hardware Driver driven hardware was the M-Audio keyboards. Had 2 that they wouldn't update drivers for. Never again. Honesty, if we could just going back to 100 percent analog tape and outboard I'd be happy.

Hey Colt! I like your videos, I've seen couple of them and subscribed. I'm a rooky producer and a wannabe-mixing/mastering engineer trying to learn from experienced ones like you (kinda "new dog - old tricks" scenario ;-) ).

Best regards. Good job! 🙂

@jsantos1104 Год назад

Regarding software-driven products, how do you get around keyboard controllers in your studio? What’s the best product for the job? I can’t imagine only ever mic’ing a real piano or owning every vintage synthesizer, it’s not practical. Also, a keyboard controller is used to trigger things like superior drummer. I’ve already ended up with a couple keyboard controller “paper weights” and would love to avoid that moving forward. Appreciate your expertise and feedback. Thank you!

@IntoTheForest Год назад

Great video! Honestly, with the way I mix my drums I could never see myself consistently not using gates. It’s just become such a big part of my workflow. However, I’d love to see a tutorial on how you mix drums so I could try that approach for myself. Edit: Also! I just thought about this. How do you feel about hardware that has optional software? For example I have a pair of Austrian Audio OC818s. You can use them as a standard microphone, and thats how I use them most of the time, but if you use the dual output and use their polar designer plugin, you can get really useful sounding multi band polar patterns that are like EQ without using EQ. The software does unlock other features, but you don’t actually need the software to use the microphone at a high end level.

@IntoTheForest Год назад

@Zack Darce Interesting! I'll have to check that out! However, making multi band polar patterns seems like it would be more complicated using this method as you'd have to manually manage all the crossovers. It's definitely a cool option though.

@Galileo317 Год назад

dang that last one is a good point. A lotttt of the smaller focusrites, apollos, and many other audio interfaces are software driven hardware devices. what audio interfaces would be good replacements? (in the range of 4-8 ins and outs)

Very good advice very good advice however I would like to ask you a question the question is around approximately 7 minutes in the music starts playing I love the way how it sounded it seems to have depth and height aka dimension dimensional sound regarding spaced of instruments you should do a video on how to achieve this I have friends who are audio files and it's the one thing they listen to during music production AKA stereo spatial of the sound as well of death of instruments that seem to come from away from the speakers and into a focal Point and sounds that sound like they weigh behind the speakers around two or 3 ft behind the speaker placement and height of the sound order particular instrument I think it would be great if you could do a video on the techniques used to achieve this thank you

Metric Halo is an exception. Hardware that utlizes a software mixing console, and software plugins, but they are committed to not turning their older products into paperweights.

Calling out Slate - without calling out slate ;). Isn't their whole virtual studio worthless now? Love the channel!

You didn't call anyone out - just loved your observation about worthless software gear. . . The vts studio interface lasted what - 2 years before it was discontinued. . . I always thought that was borderline criminal.
