What's your biggest regret purchase for your studio?!

@McArthurRose77 Год назад

Warm Audio s#$%

@spinlightstudios Год назад

@@McArthurRose77 haha yeah, ive had my share of experiences with WA gear... I think they have a few gems, like the WA251 is pretty decent, but there is definitely some QC issues in that company...

@McArthurRose77 Год назад

@@spinlightstudios the buss comp was ok but the 1176 not great… you save a lot buying these but lose a lot when you unload them.

@spinlightstudios Год назад

I find most of warm audios products have a certain “muddy” character to them. But yeah, the resale is no good. And that’s also a good reason to just buy the sought after gear - it holds its value.

@philipbard2333 4 месяца назад

Solid recommendations. Saving up for quality pays off in the long run.

@spinlightstudios 4 месяца назад

Indeed! Thanks!

Thank you for talking me out of getting a cheap vocal compressor! Almost wasted my money lol.

Great advice 👍 So much gear to buy but most of it we don’t really need haha

@spinlightstudios Год назад

Thanks Jesse, yeah, the list is endless haha just need to focus on the things that will improve your recordings and not worry about having it all straight away haha

I noticed that your Samson patchbay was labeled. What did you use? My label maker’s paper is too thick to get them in there like you have yours. Can you share how you accomplished this??

@spinlightstudios 7 месяцев назад

Much pain! Haha 😂 I just used a DYMO label marker on the smallest font size and then cut them out really thin! And then stuck them above/below the in/outs. It’s a little messy but better than nothing!

@TylerFoleyAudio Год назад

Hey Rhys, have you got any experience with the Warm Audio outboard compressors? Their WA-2A and their 1176 clone look enticing... Thoughts?

@spinlightstudios Год назад

I’ve had them all man. Tbh they aren’t terrible, but they aren’t amazing. The wa2a has nothing on a real la2a or something like the Audioscape Opto. I used the wa76 for a few years but it’s become kind of redundant in my studio now. I use it on bass and a few things occasionally, but don’t really run vocals through it anymore. Honestly think the UAD plugins sound better than the warm stuff… If you can, save for something better, but if not, the warm stuff at least surpasses the Klark teknik.. steer clear of that. You’ll still get good results with the warm stuff.

@TylerFoleyAudio Год назад

@@spinlightstudios Thanks for the response man, I think I might pick up a UA apollo x4 when funds allow for it, and just use their unison plugins for a while. They seem to be a great value when comparing to stuff like the Warms, as you've mentioned. Really liked this vid. Would like more like it.

@silveramateur571 Год назад

What other recommendations do you have for the 2a the audio scape one is sold out ? And how does ssl six works with the tlm 103 ?

@spinlightstudios Год назад

There is probably not a lot of options around, Audioscape sell units once or twice a week and they sell out really quick. Warm audio has the WA2A, the Audioscape is way better, but if you can’t get your hands on one, the WA2A is at least better than the klark teknik. I actually haven’t used the TLM through the ssl six. I mostly have the ssl Six on my snare mic too and bottom. I should give it a try and see how it sounds.

@silveramateur571 Год назад

@@spinlightstudios thanks i should wait then on that audio scape, Im struggling on what preamp to get for my tlm 103

@spinlightstudios Год назад

Hmm do you have a 500 series power supply?

@silveramateur571 Год назад

@@spinlightstudios nope but im inclined to the 500 series due to its portability.

@spinlightstudios Год назад

It definitely opens you up to more gear choices too!

@Studio-Xhoni Год назад

I have Neumann u87 to solo 610 Preamp Solo to Apollo x4 Sound to good but my Monitors hurts me :/ ... i Think Monitors are most important that u can mix that will translate good on all system :) U have new Sub

@spinlightstudios Год назад

Having a set of monitors that you enjoy mixing through definitely helps too. What are you using?

@@spinlightstudios Yamaha Hs7 but maybe this year i will upgrade them
