What preamp box was that you’re using?!?

[@DWISE7]

There are not a lot of videos out there that exactly show how to connect gear I love it I show it was the full show of how to connect it. And other gesr as well great video man

[@archiebeatz]

I'm glad this video helped brother. More studio setup, connecting and troubleshooting videos coming up!

[@Gman2002]

Agreed would love to see a deep-dive on how to build a home recording studio. I wouldn’t care if it was a 3hr livestream. Would love to see hardware connections for vocal chain, monitors, DAW install and a basic session. Great video.

[@Dane_Riazer]

I just got this whole setup, looking forward to hearing it personally next week (:. Awesome Content

[@fantaztikbeatz]

How is it so far?

[@Dane_Riazer]

@@fantaztikbeatz Actually, I'm happy with the purchase. I kinda wish I chose my second WA76 as the CL1B. One of my goal was two sun a stereo pair for mastering but both units weren't calibrated the same so I just Print Left Channel and Right Channel separately. The main Pre I run the 251 mic into the neve WA pre, into the WA76 (max -5 dB compression), then follow that p with a digit 1176 -3dB compression soothe and Pro-C shooting for vocal to be -9 with Threshold around -13 and about 2-3 dB of compression. I really like the sound (:

[@wallace_nelson]

Every time I get new WA gear I come back to this video to make sure my connections are good. I appreciate your Fam.

[@andrejvukelic6546]

You have a beautiful voice and this gear chain really really really compliments you're voice, it brings chest up-front and it is very warm but solid sounding to my ear, very emotional sound so to speak. Bravo!

[@coolerpro2024]

I love it. Sounds amazing with no processing. Might have to invest in this.

[@archiebeatz]

Thank you! That's always the goal. Get the best recording/capture out of the gate.

[@TopwarclanClan]

You should post a vocal before and after using the preamps and stuff?

[@zoeydionne6378]

Great video! I'm about to start my analog vocal chain and this was really helpful. You have a beautiful voice keep it up!

[@ThreePinkBananas]

What cable from the power supply connects the WA 251 into the Apollo interface? Is it an XLR? I guess my question is, does the mic connect into the Apollo easily?

[@OzkarHernanProductions]

Hola máster, sabes por favor de un tuto o info donde indique que cables lleva y como va la conexión a la consola, cómo conseguirlos o mandarlos a hacer. Tengo uno nuevo aún sin poderlo usar. Gracias y saludos desde Colombia. No english.

[@Breeze_b_hard]

Why aren't you using the insert on the back of the WA73?

[@archiebeatz]

Because this videos is designed to show the basic signal chain connection of warm audio gear. The good news is, I am releasing the insert send/return to use with your daw video in a week or two.

[@Lerian_Esencia]

Can’t wait for that video

[@yochillsmith]

I have this same preamp and an optical compressor as an insert on the preamp. Simple connection with two male TS 1/4” cables.

[@chasincash8594]

@@archiebeatzdid you end up putting that video out?

[@WizSings]

⁠@@chasincash8594 @archiebeatz is the second video there ? somewhere cant find it 🙏

[@Firetracks]

You popped up in my feed bredda! Good stuff fam'🤘🏾🙏🏾

[@archiebeatz]

Hahahahaha, nice bro. Thanks dude.

[@allenstroo5414]

Vocal chain sounded great. Great voice too! Thanks for the vid!

[@YesRelax]

Thanks! Does the WA EQ substitute a WA Tone Beast? Or I might use the Tone Beast instead of the EQ..?

[@bboymac84]

Very simple explanation!! They better hire you!

[@NoConcentrationTV]

Can you use xLr for the last step into preamp

[@doublesevenrecords]

Hello i have a microphone SC1 Standard UAD and Apollo Sol, What else do you recommend with it? Please Thanks !

[@cristian-marius-albu]

Wa251 was the 1st tube mic I bought together with WA273 mic preamp. After a while I acquired also the WA47. I was impressed in the begining by the WA251 but after a while decided to sell it. For my taste it had some harshness on some frequecies. I am still keeping the WA273 and the WA47. The preamp creates such a nice vocal tone when used with a good fet or tube mic. Tried with fet mics from Gefell and Neumann, and tube mics from Warm Audio, Telefunken, Stam Audio and custom U47 with it. Warm produces some great gear for the price. Highly recommend the WA273.

[@theunravelers3995]

Nice Video, voice sound great! Looking to do wa12 with wa73 and wa2a in the future for a vocal chain

[@alicereasonsofficialartist7167]

So I see u have Both The Neve 1073 SPX and WA73 can u tell a difference and if so, is it a huge difference? Asking because I was going to buy one of the two. Thanks.

[@OfficialZay31]

I’m in the same boat! From what I’ve understood so far from watching so many videos is that the WA is a direct replica of the 1073 but at a discounted price. Which allows more people to save some money and get what the 1073 may or may not deliver! I have never had either so I can’t really compare unless I get started with one or the other! Right?

[@LEXRAPS]

I have the Shure SM7B going into the WA73 going into the EQP-WA. Shit sounds buttery smooth yet powerful!

[@archiebeatz]

NICE!!!! I bet it does. Thanks for sharing your vocal chain!

[@LEXRAPS]

No doubt! Love your content bro! From one musician to another! Bless up

[@stevebryce6071]

Thanks for the video - really useful. I've got a couple of questions 1) Is there a reason you used balanced TRS cables to go from the WA-2A to the interface instead of XLR's? 2) What if you had a vocal already recorded but wanted to send/record it through the WA-2A, how would you set that up? Can it be done without a patch bay?

[@AleXeyPR1]

I have a question. It shouldn't be the 1/4 mono cable instead of stereo?

[@wallace_nelson]

Great video I was looking into getting the WA73 So the setup Is easy now because of this video I appreciate you bro

[@archiebeatz]

What's up Wallace? How is everything brother? Awesome. I'm glad this video helped 🙌🏾

[@YoukeoStudios]

Have you considered getting the Warm Audio WA-2MPX? I think you must already know about. Would love to hear your take on it!

[@rangerjosecruz2520]

This video was ddef needed 🐐💯

[@archiebeatz]

🙏🏾🙌🏾 I'm glad I could help.

[@mainlymusicman]

i noticed you plugged the out of your WARM into the mic/preamp in of your interface? does that mean your signal from your WA was then going into the preamp of the interface? is it recommended to go through the preamp or bypass the preamp of your interface? also i noticed you have your WA73 settings exactly the way i have mine.

[@Theflipstoner]

I got a UAD Townsend labs it the model digital mic on there do you think I still should get the warm audio mic or no

[@AaronDaniels123]

Man! I had no idea you sang! This is amazing!

[@CarloCabiling-r6r]

what is that little box looks like AVR that connected to your microphone. you said that is wa 2a but when i searched it. its not the same look. please reply thank you

[@KumasiHaze]

Im running a Rode NT1A thru a Focusrite Scarlett 18i8, is there any need for me to 'upgrade' to an external preamp, or should i upgrade the mic first? What are some benefits of doing so,?

[@IKnokBeats]

Great channel! I\m A big fan and have the same vocal chain. I use the WAEQ273 which is a dual 1073 clone. I believe Warm recommends using the insert channel here when inserting a compressor in the chain, and the use of unbalanced cables, and then out to the interface.Anyway keep up the good work. Much respect to you. Peace.

[@azziz4biz]

As Usual, Thank You Brother Archie. Appreciate You.

[@archiebeatz]

Hey brother! I hope all is well. You are welcome and thank you!!

[@Iknowwhatyoupodcast-1]

I purchased the warm 73 with the warm 87r2. Does anyone know any tips on great settings for the preamp?

[@moneybagbeatz]

thank so you for this video I have been looking all over for a simple video like this that explains how to connect two outboard pieces together. My question is, is this a general setup? I have a GML 2020 and just got a Neve 1073spx would they connect the same way and if so how do I know that the GML is functioning in conjunction with my Neve? any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

[@57averecords54]

Do you have to use a balanced TRS cable? Can I use a balanced XLR?

[@mddsddsdshs6397]

i have a decent cheap mic and interface already, would it be worth buying a pre amp or upgrading my mic first?

[@archiebeatz]

It depends on the microphone and the interface you currently have.

[@MrRaphaelRobinson]

If your preamp has Line inputs make sure to use those instead so you bypass the on board preamps.

[@michealhammonds6106]

Thank you for doing this

[@archiebeatz]

You are welcome. More is coming!

[@michealhammonds6106]

Archie im wanting to get the Warm Audio Neve 1073 and Warm Audio La2A with the Warm Audio 8000 Mic. This is a dream setup. I think that would be All I need for hip hop do you have these set Up to do a video for this

[@j_harding09]

what can i use or go to to learn everything about music production like making beats and producing music cause i wanna start but have no clue where to start

[@VELVET462]

dude i just bought the neeve 1073 SPX preamp for my sennheiser MKH 50, i want o add a good comp for voice overs, ONLY for voice over dialogs, can you recomend one? 2k is the limit if its worth +500 , but only a comp, not a channel strip

[@devonlybarger2783]

But this does not bypass the unison preamp as only the rackmount apollo pres can be bypassed which means their will be 2 gain stages

[@ismailfardane3207]

warm is warm the preamp is just heaven for male vocals

[@archiebeatz]

RIGHT?

[@Joelfrancis]

With all the respect let me ask you. Why after already using a mic preamp are you plugging in the the TRX to the preamp on the interface ?!? Don’t that means that now your using 2 preamps now ? instead of plugging it in one of your input of your interface ?

[@azezino6176]

i dont have an mac pc, so i cant use the apollo interface. can i connect the compressor directly to my pc?

[@seanoharamusic]

You need an audio interface to convert the analogue signal to digital and then to interface with your PC. You can use an Apollo interface with a Windows PC, as long as you have a Thunderbolt port & updated drivers. You can also go with any other (less expensive) interface like a Focusrite.

[@intouch8789]

Why not just take the 1073 eq and run it through my interface? Thanks in advance.

[@chrismap7]

Thank you !

Wa2a has ita own power supply???? Man i think you did a mostake there. Plz chek. Btw nice video great content. Keep up the good work❤

[@riasure]

Hey Archie Beatz, great video👍🏾. Am interested to know how does this compare to say the UAD LA2A in characteristics and warmth? And would you only recommend this for vocals or instruments too?? Thanks bro.😄

[@archiebeatz]

Hey! What's up? Thank you. Well analog is always better but if you are on a budget UA is great and totally of quality to achieve a pro sound. I'm actually running the UAD LA2A against the WA-2A this weekend so I can give a proper assessment you know! Be on the lookout 🙌🏾

[@riasure]

Thanks for the response Archie Beatz, but yeah unfortunately price is a consideration! Really am looking forward to seeing the comparison video your working on and to hear your thoughts in more detail. Stay blessed bro and thanks once again🙏🏾🙌🏾

[@leftofcenter4]

Wait did you say the WA2A has an external power transformer looking unit? Cause I ordered one and it didn’t come with my unit. ?

[@major3774]

Once again for all your videos. How come it is so hard for you to say whether on the Apollo you use it in bypass or you use it with line gain and how much line gain. I don’t get it. One of the most important parts of the vocal chain, and in all your videos, you never are thorough enough to go through that detail.
