Setting up NEW OUTBOARD GEAR with the new GEN 2 Apollos

[@MakePopMusic]

You're going to love the Hazelrigg units. I got a chance to test drive them for a month and I fell in love. Saving up to get a set for my studio. Also getting their 500 series modules as soon as they're in stock. Hazelrigg and DW Fearn really is top notch.

[@thomasvopstal]

Yess! So curious about those 500 series units and how they compare to the rack units!

[@MakePopMusic]

@@thomasvopstal I'll let you know when I test them. Knowing Hazelrigg though, they wouldn't put something out unless it's unbelievable

[@Truth565]

Go for the Wes Audio Super Carrier II 500 series chassis. It delivers excellent power, so future-proofs any power hungry 500 series modules you might buy in the future. It also ensures all your modules get the right power to drive the unit optimally. Do some research on it, it's one of the best and it has 11 slots!.

[@Puresug5]

Thank you so much for making this video! I could not find my problem connecting a 2nd pair of monitors to my Apollo x4, and it turns out that I was missing the Alt count on my hardware preferences. Once I removed and re-installed Console. everythign now works as intended.

[@thomasvopstal]

Happy to help!😁

[@TheMelodyGod]

Yeah, probably the best compressor in pre-dual I’ve heard in a long time. My boy Javar has to set and we use it on everything. It sounds great on live bass as well.

[@TheDubstepisme]

For the speakers: get either isoacoustics isolation board which tilts, so you can aim the drivers directly to your ears. Or get the lift speaker collumns so you can raise or lower your speakers with a press of a button.

[@ILoveTelecasters]

hoooly shit I need a lot of content on these!

[@Tom-tv4ok]

The only issue with the VNE & VLC is you need two for stereo... Hands down the best pre amps they sound good on anything. Glad they are becoming more popular

[@studio_person]

on my channel i have a comparison between Apollo Twin USB vs Twin X vs Apollo Solo on vocals and overall

[@moritzdoll1111]

Can we please Talk about that Tape Maschine standing there? 😂

[@1yunggado]

Please give us a vocal tracking session running the d.w fern and how they sound when used on post production. Thanks

[@Benprogfuse]

The 500-Series power supply shootout may get a lot of hits. That’s been a common discussion in threads and I don’t believe that I’ve yet to see somebody post one.

[@IKnokBeats]

How do you get any work done in an apartment building? Your gear is beautiful. Enjoy!!

[@mirkomarkovic3438]

Looking back-i don't know how i did it, but i did 😂

[@IKnokBeats]

@@mirkomarkovic3438 Kudos to you. Keep grinding!! ✌🏽👊🏽

[@thomasvopstal]

Why would i not get anything done?😅

[@IKnokBeats]

@ I was thinking about neighbors complaining

[@thomasvopstal]

@ i think i hear more of their crying baby than they do of what comes out of my speakers😂

[@raggedrec]

would love to hear a shootout between the VLC and their DVA 500 series unit

[@thomasvopstal]

Curious about that too! Will see if i can get my hands on that

[@twitchbook-1]

dude wess audio,thus have the capabilities of test the multiband compressor and recall feature, maybe the TC Electronic LM-2 fit

[@axpix1137]

Please do a video on the VLC and VNE

[@Rhuggins]

Sounds like you could really use a patchbay? Like - what if you want to run something serially? Youd have to convert it twice with your current setup

[@thomasvopstal]

Yes, a patchbay is definitely the next step, trying to find the right one for this setup. And honestly i’d never do 2 hw inserts in a row, i’d just patch it over manually on the back of the gear.

[@Paulgaastra]

Oooh really curious about that Hazelrigg VLC and VLN!

[@thomasvopstal]

Me too!

[@aviralvarshney7892]

other good book suggestion for mixing and production

[@1loveMusic2003]

CAPI makes an 11 space 500 rack that's DIY super easy to do and cheap for what you get. Check it out.

[@edwardcolon8614]

Just curious as to how you do speaker switching with the Apollo units. Is it via software?

[@thomasvopstal]

There’s a switch on the apollo hardware

[@benjamon4922]

Very nice but that Neve rack looks a bit empty 🤔

[@LipazMusic]

Do you have already access to SoundID add-on in UAD Console?

[@thomasvopstal]

Yes, i had beta access for a couple of weeks already

[@aviralvarshney7892]

recording session with mixing process

[@sargonrana]

can you do one with ssl in out no eq no comp and the new h b

[@thomasvopstal]

Not sure what you mean exactly

[@spillemusicstudios8515]

You don't have to run the monitors through the x4 for it to be a monitor controller. my monitors run from my x8, and my twin just controlls it from my desk.

[@thomasvopstal]

Yes, but to hook up a second set of monitors i can’t use the x16 as the ssl uses line outs 1&2

[@spacedoutdog]

wheres Juno?

[@GTStudioAnalog]

Vc pensa em um dia ter uma mesa de som?

[@thomasvopstal]

Ive got an ssl console in my setup. I also ran a studio with a 40 channel ssl console for 8 years and for recording its great, but for mixing its terrible

[@GTStudioAnalog]

@thomasvopstal sim, vejo seus videos e achei seus 8 canais de SSL fenomenais! Mas não é melhor mixar numa mesa sem se preocupar com latência? Tendo mais opções de roteamento?

[@21recordsmix]

Why you don't buy mt48 neuman instead of x4 apolo interface

[@h0odie]

user interface of uad is so much better. quality is not everything

[@thomasvopstal]

Couldn’t have said it better!

[@MultiKulti]

the DA converters from Apollo 16 should be of better quality than all the other apollos. Just said

[@thomasvopstal]

I might actually put this to the test in a future video!

[@JayfkProductions876]

This might be foreshadowing to u needing a better desk 😂

[@Clipwilsonbeats]

This looks like a headache with all these cables lmao

[@fredmanteghian5913]

Pro tip - water your plant 1 hour before recording a video with them in it.

[@thomasvopstal]

I have to water them?!?!

[@envisagefilmshouston]

This is a nightmare !! just get FL studio and a focusrite interface bro and you’re all set up!

[@thomasvopstal]

Meh i’m good i think😅

[@envisagefilmshouston]

@thomasvopstal I promise you there’s no difference in sound and I promise you your workflow will become faster, sell all that shit and go get you a new TV and some new plugins.
