Drawmer 1977 Channel Strip - Out Of The Box at Front End Audio

[@Studio22mix]

I love the Drawmer gear, very musical equipment, I have 7 in my rack now and number 8 will be the 1978. Awesome company that even has spare parts available if you ever need those. Great stuff 👌

[@FrontEndAudio]

We really love the Drawmer line as well. I (Ryan) have the 1974 sitting on the output of my summing mixer in my studio. Also use the 1978 (great comp)!

Hi Ryan - great review of the 1977. I would like to get into hardware but have been stuck on where to start. The 1977 seems like a great place to start given the specs and price. Would you recommend this for hip hop vocals?

[@FrontEndAudio]

Definitely. The preamp is super clean, the EQ is musical, and the comp is punchy. Pair that with a 251, C800. U87, etc....... would be great on HipHop vocals.

@@FrontEndAudio Thank you, Ryan. I will certainly do that!

[@neovincibeats]

I have a question....i was wondering is the output mono or stereo for my mx pro 60

[@FrontEndAudio]

The 1977 is a mono channel strip. Thank you!

Hi Ryan, how would you say this matches up against the Britstrip?

[@FrontEndAudio]

They offer many of the same features, and are both made by great companies. The major difference will be in the tone. Obviously the Britstrip is going for a vintage Neve 1073 tone. The Drawmer is more of a musical hifi character. The comp can get punchy, the EQ is musical but clean, and the Saturation circuit has a more growling distortion to it.

hmm i was expecting "lift" button's presence. but it does pack lots of functions😊

[@FrontEndAudio]

It really is a useful unit, tons of functionality. Thanks for watching!

Please do a review of Crane Song Interstellar :).

[@FrontEndAudio]

Great idea! We actually have on here so I will add this to our video list. Stand by!

@@FrontEndAudio Nice :)

The phantom power light flashing as you step through the 200, 600, 2.4k is rather disturbing. That's not good for a mic.

[@FrontEndAudio]

Phantom Power is not active, and does not reach the mic until you switch the setting to "Mic +48V". Nothing to worry about when an LED is simply displaying a setting change has been made.
