What gear would YOU like to see reviewed???

[@silverbackaudio643]

Dangerous Audio stuff?

[@liamalbaugh3246]

Gear you use for production?

[@cydrums3411]

Any Warm audio gear, it's priced right for most folks.I really enjoy your videos,take care.

[@johngormley3908]

You should review the black lion bluey. It's based off Chris Lord-Algae's blue face 1176 and their preamps. Also check out the cranebourn adat 500 series rack and their preamps. All relatively cheap but I've heard good things.

[@bastianmaze_beats8730]

Would you make a comparison between this outboard analog eq and the digital version on a channel strip of Mixbus 32c DAW? That would be great!

[@jonathankessler4684]

Came for the gear, fell in love with the song and her voice. Great work man!

[@1htimsgiark]

Seriously

[@GoLongboardBroseph]

Thank you for being in depth and taking your time

[@deadgrafixcom]

Holy s**t when you turned up that hi mid with the vocal! The video title should end to an exclamation mark instead of a question ;) Thanks for the video. I've been looking for a 500 series EQ and eventhough this is a bit over my budget, might be better to save up a little for premium instead of going for that cheaper middle ground that does their job but doesn't really drop your jaw like this one did!

[@dapatrick]

This is a beautiful song, and helpful review as well. Thank you both!

[@danymalsound]

This sounds FANTASTIC! Cheers man

[@EdThorne]

Holy Smokes this track sounds incredible! What a voice! Love the smoothness of the 32EQ. Currently tied between these and the SSL611 for my first 500 series rack. Thanks for the video, Colt.

[@jimbergson]

Wow ! Incredibly musical and very usable ! I was so surprised with the 10 dB boosts in the High end 😍 Would be very pleased to see some capi reviews 🤗 Thanks for this !

[@RiaanPretorius]

Man what a beautiful song amd production! Well done!

[@lifesglorydead]

Worth pointing out how good your source tracks sound. You do amazing work! That harrison sounds dynamite on the vocal, wow.

[@michaeltwiz8477]

Man her voice sounds beautiful!!!

[@heinrichsmit2]

Wow that is next level!

[@palemanuk]

hey Colt love the videos - what 500 series chassis would you recommend?

[@diaperbunch]

Thanks for a great review. What are you go-to EQs for low end that you mentioned?

[@streetlogic]

great video what a difference with just EQ. I def need to learn to EQ i just do high and low pass, but wow. lovely song too stuck in my head now haha. thanks again for a great video.

[@CraigHlavka]

Yea! You mentioned the LC25 for low-end.. that would awesome to see a similar style video of that module.

[@belluccistudioz-lite2578]

Would luv to see some review of the Rupert Neve Designs 500 series gear.

[@bryantwilson6580]

I have the Neve 511 Preamp and absolutely love it on everything I've tried. Piano, acoustic guitar, vocals, trumpet, electric guitar cabs, bass DI and cabs. Absolutely amazing. Haven't used any of the other gear though.

[@waynehartman6364]

Hi Colt, Very interesting and informative. It confirmed a question I wanted answered and you did. One of my goto DAW's is Harrison Mixbus32C.The EQ section is identical to the Great River piece. I listened critically and it sounds identical as well. I agree about the filters and mid highs up. I love the clarity and air up there. Pristine !!! I also agree with you regarding the lows and low mids. I either go to a plugin or outboard depending on tacks and the job needed. Aside from that Mixbus32C is a extremely great product and has exceptional flexibility. Worth checking out for sure. Another Nashville product... :>) Be Well and stay Safe.

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

Mixbus user here as well :)

[@heinrichsmit2]

The vocals are so sweet

[@flite5]

I’ve been researching non stop. Tried the SSL, Neve, API, and honestly, can’t help my ears, but the Harrison is my favorite. They don’t have the same hype, prestige, and status that everyone gives the rest. Buuut I’m gonna have to trust my ears on this one. Definitely the smoothest and most open sounding filters imho. Curious what you think?

[@starboy2013]

Spent a lot of time with UAD trying the harrision and the api 550a. Went with the 550a when it came to stacking the tracks.

[@willowlacrosse3728]

Sounds absolutely fabulous! What mic and pre was used on her voice?

[@vincebyrne]

Hey Colt! I would love to hear a shootout between all you preamps..I know that's kinda/not kinda a review, but it would be awesome to hear the difference between them and try to understand why you went with this selection. I'd also love to learn more about your capi and coil stuff!

[@blueslsd]

Sod the gear what an excellent song and vocal!! Cheers

[@JMSDyt]

I loved what it does in the hi-mids!!

[@davidkey6623]

I’d love to see a review of some of the hair ball audio gear. They seem to have a similar reputation as capi but not quite as known yet. The copper preamp seems cool! Thanks so much!

[@indigoskywalker]

I am not the greatest fan of country and western music, but i have to say that is a beautiful song and what an amazing voice... The EQ is also very sweet/musical sounding. Would be great if you compared a vintage Siemens W295B with a Iron Age Audioworks LH95...

[@GoLongboardBroseph]

Would love to see the same style vid with the Capi LC25!

[@shanesmane]

Such a great song and another great video colt! Just curious if you know where these tracks were recorded and if they had any processing prior given to you?

[@ColtCapperrune]

Thanks for watching and for the kind words! I actually recorded all these instruments myself as I produced the song. I recorded Drums at Lester Estelle’s place, Smith Curry did the Pedal Steel, and everything else I actually played myself. Steel had some reverb on it, everything else was tracked completely dry with no EQ. Vocals were recorded with a considerable amount of compression through my tube Tech, but no EQ.

[@shanesmane]

Colt Capperrune wow that’s amazing man!! Thank you for getting back to me about this, your super talented hope we get to work together someday 💯

[@AdLaceStudios]

Hi Colt. I really love what you do with this analog gear. I think I might need to get back into a few pieces of this type of gear. Is it safe to say that you don’t use any digital plugins from your DAW?

[@ColtCapperrune]

AdLace Studios Thanks so much! I try to use hardware for the most important things. Kik, snare, drum bus, vocals, master bus. But I use a lot of plug-ins on everything else

[@michaeltwiz8477]

Colt, do you prefer the "API" sound to the "Neve" sound?

[@chrisdover8507]

It’s a truly beautiful song. I reckon it’d be good on hifi bass / kick and BGV, I really like crunchin things up. But then again Thriller does sound aggressive when it wants to. I had to go back and put a capital ‘T’ on Thriller, I just know Bruce would agree

[@TheChrispablo]

have you tried the maag eq4 ?

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

Do you print your EQ changes to a playlist in Protools since you are using hardware?

[@ColtCapperrune]

I do not, I take photos of all the gear that was used in the mix and They get stored in the song folder for recall

[@andrewbyers5470]

I’d like to see a review of that capi eq.

[@overbe]

Could you compare to Acustica Audio Honey?

[@d4rkblu386]

Wow, that eq sounds amazing! Now I just need a rack and 775$ lol

[@jasttgan]

I'm 8 hours early... I'm sure it's going to be worth it so I'll wait. Where's the popcorn?

[@MatiaIsHim]

Hey Colt, nice review! What is the reason for only boosting frequencies? I think the only cut you made was on the acoustic guitar...For another review, you can do your preamps, thx!

[@ColtCapperrune]

Javier Amado Thanks! Honestly it’s just how I mix. I don’t do a lot of cutting when I’m mixing. I find the units have more personality boosting then they do cutting. So I tried to split the difference between showing off the EQ in every way, and using it how I would normally use it while mixing. Thanks for watching!

[@MatiaIsHim]

@@ColtCapperrune Thanks for replying. I DM'd you on IG a couple of times, Im under javirocks, I asked if its possible to maybe have a video chat with you to go over a few things on a recording I did. Let me know if you'd be interested. Thx!

[@anthonyjohn6783]

How does this compare to the pultec 16k boost on their 500 series eq??

[@ColtCapperrune]

Anthony John i’ve not compared it to that specifically, but I would say that in terms of being a pleasant boost this is right in line with pultec in general

[@Fitzleking]

How would you compare it to CAPI LC25/40?

[@ColtCapperrune]

Fitzleking the 32C is less aggressive in the highs in the mid‘s, but much less powerful in the lows in the low mids. Also the LC 25/40 sounds thicker just passing audio through it without adjusting anything. Hope that helps!

[@MrMemyselfandi415]

This is an older video so I'm not sure if you're checking comments here, but how do you feel this stacks up against an SSL611 500 series eq? I need a GREAT strong musical EQ strictly for tracking country/pop vocals. Think weight and push. That SSL has a mid range thing that makes those frequencies easy to listen to and pop in the mix...and It has tons of control so that's why I'm looking in that direction. But this has made me second guess it. Compression etc will effect the tone there anyway, but I want it as right as possible before going into the box. I'm tired of wasting bandwidth with frequencies I don't need. I heard the Neve Inductor and I wasn't so impressed. The top end was cool... airy Neve style..but the mid range wasn't that great and the low mids had that almost compressed velvety...dare I say muddy sound. This harrison EQ has a great top end.....but....do you think for trying to chill out digital harshness and make a vocal pop this would be the best idea? or do you have others you prefer? Thanks for your response.

[@nickbaptiste3047]

Please review Cranesong Insigna eq

[@kosmilproduction9304]

your vocal chain and your mics collection plz ^_^ thanks

[@darrendegouff9965]

Man, when you were running the snare through, you got some amazing sounds. I mean, that snare is a beast, and the original recording must have been done really well. It sounds like you really had to dial the snare back to get it to fit in the mix. Amazing tones. What kind of snare, pre, chain, was used for the original snare recording? Keep doing this, dude. You are pertinent

[@user-cq9my5ju6k]

First the musician Second the instrument / amp Third the room The rest is less important.......

[@jasttgan]

Colt - Not sure if you've tried it or not, but how do you feel this compares to the UAD Harrison 32C EQ Plugin? Same low end issue? Curious if those highs you like are reproduced as taking it in the box would also solve the recall challenge.

[@jasttgan]

BTW, great song and performance by Hailey... has a Lee Ann Womack kinda vibe to it... very sincere.

[@ColtCapperrune]

Thanks for the kind words on the song! It’s definitely one of my favorites I’ve worked on in the past year. I have not tried the plug-in, or compared them directly. I probably should have done that, but I already sent the unit back. Thanks for watching!

[@AhrenField]

Whoa! Who played steel on this? Bizarre hearing this and just hearing my own tone and approach (even some of the intonation feels like me haha!). This person is my steel doppelgänger haha

[@MasteredbyLu]

Ive never made this sound out loud before "ooooohooohooohooohoohoooooooooooooooo" you know what that means

[@brianvillage5]

Huge difference on the kick

[@peterjonassen5107]

im sadly 28minute late for the video lol, i was making some old school hiphop beat

[@user-cq9my5ju6k]

Nobody care.... idiot

[@starboy2013]

Jim Williams mods them.
