Heritage Audio i73 Pro 2 Review: Best Audio Interface with Transformer Preamps Under $1000?

[@HarvVideoAudioStuff]

Enjoy guys 👍🏻

[@aonortac]

I agree with using best of both worlds. I myself am using a SSL Six though a UA Apollo Twin MkII Quad Core on main bus and an Apogee Duet 3 on bus B. This kind of hybrid setups are the future in my opinion. Great demo as well!

[@natangurahaus19]

learning alot from you.Thankyou for the efforsts!🙏

[@IanTHarrison]

I've watched a number of your great videos and I really appreciate the effort you put in. I wanted to tip you, but you don't have that give button available

[@HarvVideoAudioStuff]

This is very kind! Thank you for prompting me, I'd been meaning to set this up for a while!

[@OmgItsAlexOfficial]

Nice! I have their HA81a that I run my Telefunken into and it's awesome.

[@user-xr1ej8nx3s]

Hi, did you record the guitar in the beginning of this video with the Heritage? Sounds great.

[@nodfactor8808]

Nice Taylor you’re using in the beginning. What model is it?

[@HarvVideoAudioStuff]

Thanks, it was a 40th birthday present to myself…814ce 🤤

[@nodfactor8808]

@@HarvVideoAudioStuff Sweet! Did you splurge on a builder's edition?

[@hupie1961]

Hi Harv, thanks for the review. How is the RTL on the unit when you play your Neural amp sims? on which Mac and MacOS? Since macOS Sonoma I have weird glitches. Thanks in advance.

[@HarvVideoAudioStuff]

Hi, I found it to be much the same as through my SSL12 (very low, no noticeable lag)

[@kadiummusic]

I also have an SSL 12 and I was really wishing you were going to do an A/B comparison with the SSL, maybe recording a vocal through each? I updated from a Clarett to the SSL 12 and I've been really pleased with it as it sits next to my UF1 and UC1. However, I constantly wish it had some DSP plugins included as I record one or two vocals and quite a lot of guitar and I would love to make the recording process a bit more enjoyable and polished. It seems like the i73 Pro Edge would cover all bases and I love the fact you can record treated and untreated audio at the same time, that's a real plus. 😎

[@HarvVideoAudioStuff]

Many thanks, I was actually thinking of doing a dedicated SSL12 vs i73 video whilst I still have it. Clearly I should get on and do it 😄

[@kadiummusic]

Yes PLEASE! 🙏 ​@@HarvVideoAudioStuff

[@no-yj2cf]

I'll watch the comparison video

[@JimThompson-i3u]

Nice unit. It would have been great to get at least one more input. Two mics plus guitar would be more versatile.

[@simplefruitsMTV]

Are the dsp plugs available to record with plugin monitoring but not fx printed in recordings ?

[@HarvVideoAudioStuff]

Yes indeed! 👍🏻

[@garyembar4774]

Awesome demo there Harv! Honestly, the plugin version of the britstrip is a complete letdown! Relatively too edgy, shrill and crispy (for similar settings). well, If the idea is to pick this for the britstrip plugin it comes with (like I was contemplating) ….then please dont! If you are a "buy once, cry once" kinda person like me, then get the britstrip hardware!I'd rather be happy wiping my tears with the hardware than with a disappointing plugin!

[@kadiummusic]

Can you measure it for us please Harv? It dosen't give the dimensions anywhere, not even in the user guide. 🤔

[@HarvVideoAudioStuff]

On it!

[@Clarity-808]

So Neve makes a groundbreaking Audio Interface with transformer based preamps… and Heritage copies them so quickly? Cool… very creative. Very secretive too. A++!

[@HarvVideoAudioStuff]

They improve the concept and don’t skimp on essential features whilst reducing the price and we all benefit, I fail to see why this is this a bad thing 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Clarity-808]

Honestly it’s fine. My comment comes off as a bit grumpy 😆 but really… “audio interface with transformer preamps” is pretty specific so it’s not the best look.
