These do sound really excellent in this demo. Arturia is absolutely crushing it for the past few years.

[@ArturiaOfficial]

Thank you very much G! That's just the beginning!

[@janwaldekranz2641]

Inspiring tutorial! Now I'm ready to start exploring them! Thanks Lilly!

[@z6nestudio]

These preamps are fantastic! They're the best emulations of these pre's I've come across. Good Job!

[@nichttuntun3364]

Awesome vintage emulations. High quality stuff with much vibe and such smooth tones, nice break up saturation. 3 excellent new tones in the arsenal. Love the complete FX2 Collection. Thank you. Keep up the great work. Cheers

[@RayTheProducer]

I adore the 1973! I tried a mix with just that on every channel and it was exhilarating. Don’t know if the engineers at Arturia will ever look at this, but a visual analysis of what’s going on would be a complete game-changer, and make this innocuous little guy a bit of a secret weapon.

[@lostee2001]

I enjoyed the video and immediately purchased the first two. Thank you, so much for sharing.

[@paulsgotgas7307]

Thanks Lyli ! Based on this video I'm going to give those 3 preamp demos a fair try.

[@ArthurStone]

Sounds good; I like the mid-side mode. Recently started using the Arturia soft-synths and they are very, very good. Nice presentation :D

[@von_Apa]

Love all Arturia delivers! Good video as well!

[@i.AmHymn]

Just came across (by pure accident) like 2 days ago and and the more delighted for it! #YESSSSSSssss! 🎧🎶 🤘🏾 Hymn

Loving these plugins

[@matski7690]

I like how you are trying to promote the world best preamp vsts whilst recording the audio for this video through a potato.

[@QuaykuDsoul]

Does her voice affect the use of the plugin?

[@DanciestCheese]

😂

[@criddycriddy]

Fantastic tutorial

[@zwsh89]

I just got the trident, which we have a full console of at my school, so now I get my same consistent tone in the box and out! When I saw that one of the few rare plug-in version of this was made by Arturia, I had to jump on it!

[@zwsh89]

Also, including the EQ circuits from these preamps make them so much more usable than all the other brands that just include a trim and a bypass (and occasional drive/thd). I love that you’re not forcing us to buy multiple redundant products if we’re looking to emulate a console sound!

[@xristosnestoras4016]

Thank you very mach for all plugins you do!!!!!!!

[@bartf7231]

Just bought the 1973. Amazing !!

[@justin1603]

is it better sounding then the waves sheps 73?

[@bartf7231]

funny enough, a friend of mine compared them today and said Arturia sounded better. I haven't done the side by side, I can't really tell you

[@justin1603]

really today? hehe...well sheps sounds really good but ur friend could be right. thanx

[@YourFavouriteColor]

What is the appropriate level to feed INTO the preamp? Sometimes it looks like the needle is slammed and the input is at zero. Other times it's not as severe. Is there an appropriate starting level? What should the needle ideally be doing when the input is all the way down for a vocal?

[@tendingtropic7778]

hi arturia! question! I want to plug in my guitar+effect pedals in my audio interface into my DAW. I'd like to give back some warmth that may be lost when doing the AD conversion by my (RME) soundcard/interface. Which of your three preamps is best for this purpose?

[@garfieldbarnes4570]

LADY I AM AN ENGINEER FROM JAMAICA AND I LISTEN A AND WATCH A LOT OF TUTORIALS.THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE EVER HEARD.CLEAR TO THE POINT AND VERY INFORMATIVE.THE MS MODE EXPLANATION IS ONE OF THE SIMPLIEST AND MOST INFORMATIVE ONES I HAVE COME ACROSS.KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

[@lucianappleton1212]

A hope she help yu fi get a better mix, lol

[@andivax]

amazing preamps! V76 is my favourite

[@jaynsadaam]

i love it too

[@AtomNic]

andy!! :D

[@xristosnestoras4016]

Привет AndiVax!!! Смотрю ваши видео тоже! Не ожидал вас тут встретить тоже!!!

[@MixingMAN]

@@xristosnestoras4016 А я ожидал вполне!)

[@nichttuntun3364]

Hi Andi. I think the same. They are awesome, break up so nicely and the EQ add so many tone options. Excellent vintage emulations. Cheers

[@charlesjacques750]

Lilly.. I want a tube preamp to compliment a Japanese Air Tight amp.. for a high end spacial effect - any suggestions?

[@docsidetheaters4064]

Charles Jacques damn 😂😂😂😂😂 i taught i was d only one dat noticed

[@davidpickett3546]

I assume you can use this on mono tracks?

[@rustychassis]

These plug-ins sound great when I preview the effect on a sample but do absolutely nothing when I press Apply in Audacity. Am I screwing something up?

[@djkyriakides]

Can't seem to find any info on this, but how do you engage the automatic gain compensation on these? Is it on by default or does it need to be activated somehow?

[@supersquare]

It's on automatically. Turning up the input gain on't raise the output volume, it only adds harmonics

[@Max-yu7qi]

how about using one of those preamps for your mic. other than that good product

[@Trackformers]

They are actually amazing.. trust Cpu heavy for preamps, but good.

[@claudespeed13579]

No oversampling?

[@carolinerose8203]

Could they not license the name 1073 or something? Why did they call it 1973...

[@G.GordonMidi]

The 1973 preamp was designed by Rupert Neve? Is on countless hits? You mean the 1073. 1973 is the 1's & 0's version

[@tri-unetrl3966]

If there's a preamp for the Neve why isn't there one for SSL out of these three??? 🤷🏽

[@flujotech]

Oh god, your voice is gorgeous. Perfect for testing preamps. ;-)

[@Drums1696]

Excuse my ignorance. Are the preamps also EQs?

[@ArturiaOfficial]

Yes they are also EQ, perfect to add some color to your mix ;)

[@erickauffmann_official]

Hello Lily! :) Nice tutorial btw

Hey Arturia director. When switching shots, the one that looking to the left is simply wrong and doesn't fit. She is like talking to the void.

that first example sounded really really bad

[@user-cq9my5ju6k]

La voix est bcp trop forte par rapport aux exemples sonores... c'est pas mieux de sous titrer quand c'est il y a exemple sonore ? Vraiment trop cons chez arturia. Vous avez pas envie de les vendre vos produits ?

[@ArturiaOfficial]

Bonjour, je viens de voir vos 3 messages, essayez d'écouter ou de faire un peu de musique, ça détend :)

[@justinbouchard]

these audio demonstrations are terrible lol

[@NaceK84]

why have a robot present the video, next time use google translate

[@ArturiaOfficial]

What does prove us that you are not a robot yourself? :)

[@15bleach51]

3 bands, one of which is fixed permanently at certain frequency in 1073. Really? Guys, Im not buying “we replicated original vintage unit” stuff. Who cares about original gear if it lacks of functionality? Because three bands IS NOT ENOUGH! For example: you can’t use Arturia 1073 for EQing electric guitar. Usually you need to cut off some extreme high sizzle with high shelf (band 1), lowpass some rumble below 100hz (lowpass filter), add high mid bite (band 2), boost low end (band 3), cut some mud in lowmid region (band 4). Can you do this with pre1073? No. You possibly can do it with some other 3-band EQ plugin, if you switch high band to bell mode for boosting upper mids, and use mid band for cutting mud... But you can not switch highshelf to bell and you can not select frequency for high band in Arturia plugin. “Dude, this is preamp plugin, not EQ!” Oh yes? Why not to release it with just only gain knob? Slate have Neve pre without EQ. I understand that they have modeled hardware. But why did they model all its limitations? Why not to simply add second mid band? Is it complicated to clone mid band? Why not to add selectable frequencies for high shelf? Arturia developers did great job with compressors. They extended 1176 functionality by adding bunch of stuff (sidechain EQ, mix knob, etc) that was not in original unit. So why not to implement same approach to their preamps? Also, saturation on 1073 plugin is very subtle on max settings. Would be great if they add “boost” knob which will turn it in to real distortion (like PSP ClassicQ or Sonimus Burnley) And one thing about GUI that ANNOYS me. When you open it on mono track you have simple clean GUI - one instance of EQ and preamp. But when you open it on stereo track you have two instances of EQ and preamp inside one plugin. Why? 90% of the time you EQing stereo track in Linked mode. That means you EQing left and right channel same way. Why I need two instances of EQ on screen if one is enough in this scenario? I distracts attention, reduce productivity. It only confuses user. Why not to open second instance of EQ ONLY if you switch plugin in M/S mode? Just remove “00” (stereolink) button. Transform two way switch (L/R - M/S) in to three way switch (L/R - 00 - M/S). “00” middle position set buy default. In this mode you have only one instance of EQ on screen. When you switch to L/R or M/S - second instance opens. Just that simple. Dont get me wrong, I respect Arturia team and appreciate their work. As I said - FET compressor by Arturia is one of the best (if not the best) 1176 emulation. I hope they will update preamp plugins, will make them more usable. Because they sound already good, they just miss some functionality. P.S. Would be awesome if Arturia add 1081 mode to this plugin also. Both preamp and curves. So we'll have two EQs in one plugin! But they need to add second mid band, though.
