EPIC SOUND in a small box!

[@nilesanders5110]

Between that and the 224, reverb really never got any better. And that's a good thing.

[@moskva-kassiopeya]

Instant record studio quality box

[@nicefish10]

The original RMX 16 was also used in large touring rigs. One of my all time favorite reverb boxes. When I was doing arenas in the 80-2000s before digital desks became the norm, I always had an RMX 16 in my racks……my very heavy and cumbersome racks!

[@montearnstam6827]

The dry snare tone is insane man… do a video on that!

[@BlazonStone]

8:20 wow, sounds AWESOME.

[@vanitune9458]

I did the same thing a while back; pulled it out of my R6 to make room for more EQ's. It looks very slick sitting on its own. Thx for the vid!

[@pullman1958]

Stands the test of time. Always one of my top 3 favorite reverb units

[@TonyAndersonMusic]

This sounds incredible. So glad we now have at least 2 in our ranks who give the RMX its own little home. Also, what mic did you use on the acoustic? That sounded so good!!!

[@AndrewMasters]

Haha thanks to you for inspiring me. I used the warm 251!

[@Polentaccio]

More importantly with hardware, you commit! Print it, move on. Dig the sound of this one. I am using an old Alesis Quadraverb I bought for 50$ lol. Not quite there sound wise but will have to do for now.

[@AndrewCCM]

Don’t discount that Quadraverb. I have several alternatives and use the QV almost exclusively for my snare verbs.

[@Polentaccio]

@@AndrewCCM That's why I got it actually. Have it as an FX send on my console. It def. does the trick there.

[@michaelcandido2824]

@@Polentaccio don’t forget the Yamaha ReV7, good for snares and it has the symphonic effect

Congratulations with your new hotel safe!

😅 My wife when I opened it "oh it's a safe"

[@tekis0]

I used to work at a studio called Sound On Sound, in midtown Manhattan, in the 90's. They had an RMX-16 and a DMX. I think that AMS did a really smart thing releasing this in the 500 format. The RMX sounds realistic to my ear! It's very usable with little fiddling.

[@nicefish10]

I agree. As a long time fan/user of the original this 500 series version sounds true to the original…

[@911elijah]

Your drum mix is amazing

[@911elijah]

I love the reverb, Is it stereo? I thought about getting the big chase bliss reverb pedal.

[@AndrewMasters]

Thanks! RMX16 is mono input stereo output.

[@colbydrums924]

Such a delightful snare tone, great for that processing but damn if that didnt sound killer dry!

Bruce Swedien (MJ’s fav Eng i.e. engineered Thriller!) "Ques - 2. Drums: What's some of your favourite reverb treatments for drums? Types, pre-delays, lengths? How much do you high pass you cymbals/hats? Ans - My favourite reverb for drums is my AMS - RMX. I will normally use the ambience program with about a 100ms pre-delay to allow the early reflections to be heard. I generally use a high-pass setting of about 100 hz for all drums except the kick...." www.ranchstudio.com/student/Bruce%20Swedien%20Tips.pdf

Andrew I love how you’ve built this channel. So stoked for you dude! I wish you were doing bedroom studios still so I could have you out to Colorado! Big fan dude!

[@briankruesi6484]

Post a pic. I’m in Colorado too and M just finishing up a bedroom studio myself.

[@jasonryan4824]

Ditto

[@onomatopoeidia]

Absolutely still use my Lexicon PCM90, Alesis Midiverb 2 and Roland SDE330 and I have all the UAD and plugins galore. They make you work more closely with the sound and signal flow and beats a friggn mouse!

[@alexalja]

I saw a box like this in a hotel in Buenos Aires. It was in the bedroom closet. Nice sound tho.

[@76ODDY]

Amazing sound!

[@poseidonmusic]

Hey Andrew, long time watcher, love your vids, thanks for producing all of them! It would be great to see a video of setting up the Behringer personal monitoring system within your DAW as they're impossible to find.

[@AndrewMasters]

I might do something like that - it's really as simple as connecting to interface outputs, and then sending signal out of those outputs.

[@poseidonmusic]

@@AndrewMasters I figured it might be something that straight forward. Do you setup bus sends as if you were doing a headphone mix in pro tools and then just route those outputs to the Behringer? How do you manage (or let the artist manage) verbs or other fx? Thanks again bud, great to see your channel growing, loads of inspiration from all the studio tours you do as well! Keep up the great work.

[@sawsquaresinetube]

That 80’s snare sound is a gated reverb

[@mtnoblesavage]

Nice little unit, but I'm more interested in the Hologram Microcosm and the latest Roland Space Echo, but still this still does the job beautifully after all these years, cool unit

[@SergioMartinez-dp9qt]

You should make a diagram of your signal paths now. With all the new things you are adding, it would look cool as hell.

[@malastrada1103]

80s sound...very very good machine...

[@hollownotestudio1179]

what'd you do for that guitar tone it is KILLER!

[@k1ttyF158er]

Cool! The new RMS sounds good on it's own. But in the VK shootout, neither the new RMS nor the UAD version sounded as good as the original. - The difference was massive.... I keep wondering if something was set up wrong with VK's setup.

[@amanray]

not a fair comparaison as the sound is send louder in the vintage unit than in the 2 others ... Look at the input leds

[@RecordingStudioLoser]

First Colt’s reverb video. Now this… and now I’m shopping outboard reverb.

[@AndrewMasters]

Next vid.. turns garage into reverb chamber.....

[@AndrewCCM]

Go big and go for the Audioscape true analog/spring reverb.

[@thorolfa.mowinckel9301]

I liked the song.

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

The Roland integra 7 is besides a rack synth allso a reverb with 5.1 output. Please considder that.

[@thesolutionband]

That 3u case will be great when I need more space in my 500 rack because this does take a lot of space. It’s only a matter of time. 😀

[@redlettervagrant1159]

The drum part at about 8:00 reminded me of 'Hard to Handle' by The Black Crowes.

[@RipperFromYT]

Is it correct that I was told this unit is literally the same exact thing (100% identical) as the plug in version (as opposed to the old, original hardware boxes)?

[@TonyAndersonMusic]

I use both all the time in my sessions, and the difference is in how they sound (respectively) is that when you drive more gain into the physical unit's input (or output), it sounds different than adding more gain on the plugin version. The gain staging is the magic of the physical 500 series. I like both for different reasons, but fund myself using the hardware version more. The software version is flawless in its own right.

[@deanrinehart]

I’m all for hardware…but this is what I’ve heard as well. Kind of disappointing. There doesn’t seem to be much point unless you just want to avoid ITB.

[@FLH3official]

Looks like a safe in an hotel room, but, by Jove, it sounds!

[@jwtubification]

I’d love to see how you’re routing it in Console. How do you run a stereo synth into the mono input and then out stereo again?

[@AndrewMasters]

One channel goes in, two come out. In console you set the output of the channel to the outputs going to the unit, and then select mirror to monitor.

[@AndrewCCM]

While I completely agree about outboard gear and the feel. (I have a bunch!). If I’m spending money on an outboard piece of gear, it’s not for something that is digital. The way I look at it, outboard gets its mojo from being analog. If digital, it would seem the equivalent plug-in would be basically the same. For me, the price for outboard gear needs to have an ROI that I can’t get/replicate bit by bit in a plug-in. Having said that, If I were rich or had a KZbin channel, I definitely would go the route you did though. Cost of doing business at that point. Lol

[@AndrewMasters]

That’s cool! I’m a little more neutral on the analog vs digital binary. I love it all.

[@michaelcandido2824]

Digital hardware and plugins are not the same. The amount of chips alone on digital hardware reverb like lexicon, Yamaha or some old school verbs would tax a modern day computer to much if they were doing it algorithmically as opposed to convolution which still takes a lot of cpu. The spread and width is also another factor which is big enough to justify buying a hardware digital unit.

[@1Patient]

I have no idea how you were able to afford this lifestyle for yourself, however the content is somewhat pleasing... however, certainly leaves on feeling somewhat jealous and or envious. Congrats @tonyanderson and you too @andrewmasters I would love to know how you get set up like that with the gear you guys have in your arsenal. Big Thumbs Up and Shout Out to you guys 😀

[@michaelcandido2824]

Save up for a few pieces a year, find good deals on vintage etc. sit on it and some of it will keep its value or double or triple. Don’t be envious, it definitely takes a lot of work and sacrificing to afford this stuff but it’s the difference between taking your craft seriously or not.

[@stewartmckee8770]

I watched the video with Tony Anderson (which really put the wind in my sails) and I wanted to go out and do this exact thing!

[@artisteo]

Duplicated the set up, looks rad but I hear a lot of white noise or hum. Some forums talk about Lindell products not having appropriate shielding. Did you have to do anything special to get a clean tone?

[@AndrewMasters]

Strange, I don’t have that issue. I copied my buddy Tony and his sounds great as well. Check all of your connection, maybe reseat the unit. If it still persists check the lines on another unit and see if they follow.

[@artisteo]

@@AndrewMasters thanks for the troubleshooting tips! really want this to work nonlin is rad

[@quantumonions]

This is sooo 80s it literally has a land line telephone keypad on it, complete with keys *, #, and 0 (OPER, as in operator, as in a human being who'd answer when you pressed it). Oh, and it sounds decent too!

[@logicbk]

Thank you for making a really great quick track for the demo. I've grown so tired of hearing these boring ass reference tracks that others use and its just not engaging. Yours sounded great, acoustic drums were punchy and I got a really good chance to listen to the AMS. Thank you sir!
