I love love love compressors….i love your set up! Keep it going man!

did you consider a 19''rack pre's? like a bae 1073 etc. ?

Consoles are amazing for routing

Just use the DAW like everybody else. In ABX testing i actually prefer it to "summing" nonsense.

I have a hybrid set up with 56 channel Neve desk, external mic pres just for different colors. Tracking, and headphone mixes as well as all CR monitor switching are done on the desk. Mixing mostly happens in the box buuuuut using the right side of the desk for mixing any of my 32 outputs from the DAW also allows insert points for all of my outboard gear. Editing and automation is done in the DAW usually with about 8-12 outputs on average on faders on the desk. Money channels always on the desk with Distressors, LA-2a, and 1176 hardware inserted.

The Cranbourne-Audio lunchbox might have been interesting. Interface + lunchbox for 500 + summing + monitoring...

Only just found this channel, which is superb, so thank you. Have loved TFN since day one. Inspirational. ✊🏻

Love the band and your channels!

💩💩💩

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! "The most valuable resource is time". Absolutely. If you have enough time, you can make your ideas work with whatever equipment at your disposal. Kind regards, Patrick

First time on your channel, sounds really good and more importantly interesting.

1:46 I hope you're aware that a 421 is not a side address microphone

Brilliant. Thanks for sharing.

Can't wait to hear it! Sounds promising

I want this new LP already... sounds very promising

Chandler TG Ltd. on the guitar cabs?

I really like this channel! Very cool guys

Beautiful Studio!

Cool place! How big is the control room and live room?

Wow, huge fan of Tides from Nebula and the Nebula studio channel...I dind't know you had a english channel now. Nice, i can finally understand^^

Sound Skuptor have one of the best preamps available. They’re awesome.

I'm finally out of the box. My DAW is essentially a 16 track tape deck... with of course the digital track benefits :) Would I return to tape? Unlikely no given the192KHz interfaces, but possibly for sentimental reasons. BTW, both BetterMaker and WesAudio are core components in my analog environment.

What's Your routine before hitting record?

Excelente

Gear Porn , I love it .

Bro you have 3 lunch boxes thats 30 channels. You basicly built a console!

And you don't need a DAW! Let's talk!

Gear P*rn and an announcement of a new Tides of Nebula LP - Fuck Yeah!

Cost of the setup ? 😄

Good content. How are you managing routing of headphone cues and monitoring? Directly from the interface?

my boss still clings to his SSL. but it's more about speed than sound for him. out of the other 3 engineers here. nobody would get an analogue console anymore.

Mix in the box bro. Inexpensive and you can customize you environment to infinity. Hit the easy button. Stop doing this to yourself. Good luck!

These are great!

Great as always!

At this point you could have it write the song, and then cover it w better fidelity. But as you say, it's a matter of time.

Fun fact...Albini admitted not being a Nirvana fan when he took the gig, but said he learned to respect them during the recording process, but clearly the band was never his cup of tea.

Haha I love the Jerky Boys reference Albini put in his letter shown at 4:40. "I'll work circles around you, I'll rap your head in with a ratchet" The Jerky Boys were very popular in America at this time and Kurt, Dave and Krist probably got the reference. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3eQh4SqesuVirc he says it around 1:40 in this video.

Steve Albini's attitude has always inspired me a lot and through him I learned to appreciate the quality of analog. In times of this unspeakable AI, this video comes at the right time. It's just a shame that not everyone will see and understand it.

I don't agree with 100% of the letter, but what I do appreciate about Albini's mode of engineering is that he wanted the uniqueness of each album to shine through. Getting rid of all the rough edges usually makes things sound more generic. Btw I have bookmarked your band and I'll listen later. If you have this mentality about the creative process then you'll likely make more interesting art. I will at least give it a try.

If Only Steve had been Punk Rock enough to JUST SAY NO to the FauciOuchie he would still be with us today. death by cowardice is no way to exit this life

Albini was most definitely famous before pitching for In Utero. No, here's not Mutt Lange, but anyone into alternative music knew who he was. He was easily one of the top 10 producers in that realm at the time and absolutely no one I knew said "Who is this Steve Albini?". He was certainly more famous at that time than Butch Vig was when he took on Nirvana. I had only ever heard Gish before Nevermind and while Gish was a big album and reasonably well known before Siamese Dream, it wasn't nowhere as well known as Albini's work. We all had multiple releases from Albini in our collections. Cobain himself was directly inspired by Albini's work on Surfer Rosa, crafting Smells Like Teen Spirit effectively to sound LIKE Albini. How ironic is that?

Well this is a shitty way to find out Steve Albini died

Amazing and interesting! Thanks for that video!

This production value is crazy. Deserves it way more views

The lunchboxes contain the same electronics as inside a deck that gives the tone so you simply loose the faders and the analog summing when mixing in the box? Then the converters are the big spenditure instead of the deck? I mean, there is no free lunch...

Good info Thanks

Ai still has a hard time to do artistic stuff - it sticks to the common denominator that the industry has paved the way for. So as long as we avoid any common formula, we ought to be good! Also it's easy to spot if it is a classic band/constellation performing together or if it is the equivalent to Nilli Vanilli thing.

I think technology such as A.I. will give birth to a "renaissance" in arts. especially in music. I don't know how, when or even if the "renaissance" is already here. The first sign of a "renaissance" could/can be: A trend in acoustic music streams on streaming platforms and maybe more people will go watch live music then before. (if its not already happening now already)

Todays machine learnig based tools like suno just generate sound bits second for second based on probability. Unless there's real AI that understands what it's doing, there's no creative process. This means you can't adapt and change aspects of a song. So there's background music that's it can do well and personalized fun stuff. And inspiration for song writing of course. We're quite far away from a real AI. And as these tools don't understand what they're doing the sound quality will always be mushy. No wonder metal sounds best, because or all the distortion.

AI has no creativity, if your music in on par with music a AI can replicate than youre not really a musician, as someone that makes music your just a person that has a job of playing instruments and puting together arrangements that lack creativity enoughto claim youre creating music
