I liked how it makes the vocals sound more focused compared to the dry signal. Release times 1 and 2 sounded the best. Comp mode was more smooth and natural, while the limit mode was more rock and roll sounding. Can't wait to hear how it sounds on the other sources and how the THD mode sounds. Thank you Josh for your videos!!! Speedy recovery to you!!!

Sounds fantastic dude! Thanks! Questions, what mic is that and was there any compression on the vox during tracking? Great voice too!
@@SeawellStudios Thanks for the info. I've already watched this 3 times hah. I thought I was sold on getting an RS124 very soon and honestly wasn't blown away with the RS660 I heard on the chili pepper stuff but yours just now sounds ridiculously good. I look forward to the upcoming review. If you have a RS124 laying around it would be interesting to hear the vibe difference between the 2. Hope you're feeling better as well!

Thanks for the well wishes man, it's very much appreciated! I do still have the RS124 here and will do a direct comparison of the two. It's something I'm very interested in personally so I'm curious to see how it turns out.

I’m curious, do you prefer the 176 or RS660 for vocals?
@SeawellStudios9 ай бұрын
176 is much more versatile to me so I'd go with it if I had to choose between the two. It can handle literally any vocal you throw at itl. The RS660 didn't jive well with some vocals I tried it on that had a lot of high mid information. Having said that, when the RS660 is the right fit(I loved limiter mode, time constant 3) it is a truly special sound! I see the RS660 more as a specialty piece that you add after you have your main compression bases covered. I hope that helps! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.
@mokabeats30082 жыл бұрын
It looks like it has an amazing tone. Thanks for this little demo! What do you think of its attack speed compared to the rs124? I just got a 176 that is just amazing. I use it for a lot of sources but mostly vocals. I was going to get a 124 later on and run it through my 176. But this one really makes me curious... I'm really looking forward to your feedback when you get to know it well! Thanks for your videos, the quality, the time you spend on it. A pure pleasure man.
@SeawellStudios2 жыл бұрын
You're so welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it! The RS660 can be much faster than the RS124. It doesn't slow down to RS124 speed territory until around time constants 5, 6 & 7. Limiter mode is even faster in 1-3. It's not as fast as the 176 though. The 176 is the fastest Vari Mu I've ever come across. That thing can just take any vocal and show it who's the boss 🤣 The RS660 is definitely a more pronounced color than the RS124 or 176 and that could either be good or bad depending on what you're looking for. I'm going to do a couple more videos(hopefully this weekend). The first will be a thorough review of the RS660 showing it all over a song and also demonstrating the THD mode. The second will be a direct comparison to the RS124. I really appreciate your kind words about my channel and I hope you enjoy those upcoming videos as well!
