Man your videos have taught me so much over the last year and thanks to them I was able to get my mixing to a point where I can do this full time. If I’m ever in Nashville I absolutely owe you a drink, thanks for the great videos cause they literally changed my life for the better.
Hey Colt. I am a professional Audio Engineer and a Guitar Player and a Music Producer ( hobbyist ) based in India. And I dig your setup mate. I mean it's spacious yet everything is within a hand's reach. I wish someday I can build me a Studio like yours. P.S.- I don't care about the RU-vid stuff (lollllll) but have been following you for over a year now and have learned so much from you. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and experiences with us mate. Cheers !!
As an artist for Iconic Guitars, I can absolutely vouch for them as well. Mine goes almost everywhere with me and I play the crap out of it! If someone’s considering one, you won’t go wrong, they are top notch quality and playability!🤟🤟
Thanks for the tour and overview Colt, it was a bit hard to tell what you really really like, because just about everything was described as incredible or fantastic, lol. 😏
Cool tour! I'm curious why you feel the need for a cloudlifter for your 7b? I've actually never had the need to lend any aid to the mic amps I have for the 7b, like ever? My faves for this mic are Daking, 312a, API, CAPI as well as my Forrsell, which I barely have to have past 1 o clock and I can print -12db for a narration vocal and it might be my fave for this mic. For screamers/loud vocals, there's more headroom than I need on any mic amp I have or have used in other rooms. Anyways just curious as I constantly read about people complaining about the low output of the 7b but wonder if they're trying to print @ 0dBFS lol Anyways, it feels like I'm missing something :) Love the guitar rig. Looks awesome!
So the cloud lifter thing mainly just improves signal to noise ratio. By the time you have most microphone preamp‘s turned up loud enough for the SM 7B, they just have some hits and hum to them. The 7UP runs on phantom power, and boosts the signal so you can keep your preamp turned down lower, which keeps the noise lower. Hope that helps!
Awesome place. Just came across your channel recently and loving the videos. Were you self taught engineering or schooled in mixing. Looking to find out ways to better my beginning process of mixing in mastering. Would also love thoughts on how to search out work for mixing. Happy new year and look forward to seeing more. Best
I am entirely self taught, with the help of lots of magazine articles, and some RU-vid videos. Although there wasn’t much of that when I was coming up. Thanks for watching!
So you track vocals through the Tube-Tech and compress the vocals in the mix with the 1176? Have you thought about changing the tubes in the Manley Reference Mic? I’m thinking about getting that mic and changing the tubes.
Yes sir! Track through the tube tech, mix through the 1176. I’ve read about changing the tubes, but I’m completely fine with the way the microphone sounds now, I may experiment with it in the future
Hey Colt, Thank you for the tour! I'm just curious, what is your opinion of the Dangerous Music D-BOX+ Monitor Controller & Summing Mixer? Wishing you and the family a safe, healthy, and prosperous new year! Keep Doing That Voodoo That You Do!
Have you considered adding a sub with your monitors? And if so, what would you recommend? I am currently using Avantone pro CLA-10a's and Sennheiser HD600 open back headphones.
@Colt Capperrune First of all I wish you happy new year , to you and your familly! All the best! I love your api eq/compressors 500 what you using for kick, snare, bass and vocals, I hope I'll have them one day too. Do you use them for tracking or mixing (or both)? Second question what you didn't say in video is: what 50o racks (brand) do you using? And last but not least...your gears and whole studio looks so clean and shine, beautiful...I really have problems with dust in my studio..so my question is, what you using and how you clean dust from your gears in studio? Maybe video about that would be also helpful to your followers like me. :) Thank you in advance for answers.
For a low budget home studio can you get away with throwing up a freq curve 75-15k on some KRKs to recreate what the auratones can do in the mid range when checking your mixes?
Absolutely! I have an entire Mixed tutorial called magic is in the mid range going over that exact techniques. It’s actually the second most viewed video on my channel. Check it out!
Good question! In the beginning it was because it was a much more affordable option, and then when it was time to add a second patchbay I was already invested in the TRS thing, so it was a cost of like $500 to expand, or like $5000 to expand/switch to TT so I just stayed TRS. Hope that helps!
Amazing stuff, just amazing - would you comment about Focal's Focus mode versus Auratone 5C ? are they doing some sort of complementary stuff to your opinion ? I'm thinking about purchasing ST6 Focal gen' but kind of wondering if I shall keep my pair of Auratone..
Hey i see you use to have the ns10’s n the 5c’s but you got rid of the ns10’s im trying to decide which one to get between the 2 would you suggest the 5c’s (well i would get the mixcubes honestly) over the ns10’s? I already have 2 main monitors but i want something to help me with the midrange and that i can reference without having to take it to the car each time.
@@ColtCapperrune i switched from Sony a6400 to A7c and I'm curious how the 10 bit difference feels and inbody stabilization conpared to apsc which I believe you used since the beggining of the channel? Good job mate!
So this is just the first video I’ve shot with it, but the difference is staggering. This has the active stabilization in it in addition to IBIS. I would have never even been able to make this video with the 6400. The 10 bit 4:2:2 feels incredible, and miles ahead of the 6400. This also has much improved auto focus over the 6400. 6400 is awesome for the price, But this is certainly better in every way, and well worth the money if you are a serious content creator
@@ColtCapperrune Awesome, thanks bro! Good luck and all good in 2022. I would invite you to my channel, but I run it in Polish ;) anyway, check out my band: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cTqBKrC0EAU.html
By any chance have you used sonarworks reference colt? I’ve been thinking about using it in conjunction with the acoustic treatment in my room to get a better result. Thanks for 2021!
Sonarworks can be a good tool to get more "true" flat frequency response but for me the studio is sound is so flat that I only does weird comb filtering sound so more negative effects for me. It works in some studios!
@@aveniaofficial5795 great thanks for the reply. It’s quite an investment just to see if it actually works in my studio but I think I may do it at least to try!
The 2:1 ratio is so that way it fills up the maximum amount of space on a smart phone, which is where 87% of the people that watch my content view it. It’s literally to make the viewing experience more enjoyable for my audience and has nothing to do with being pretentious or cinematic
@@ColtCapperrune How would it display on a phone if you were to film in 16:9..? Would it be a huge problem for them..? As an actual adult I don't watch anything on my phone, it's just the TV app for me. I can't stand watching things in burka-vision.
