What settings do we record the vocals on with the wa2a. Do we keep it on gain reduction

[@DanielDiezCansecoM]

Man! You can sing!!!!!!!!! sound super!

[@archiebeatz]

Thanks Daniel! I really appreciate it.

[@MilestonesMusic1]

Just got one recently awaiting delivery tomorrow looking forward to

[@archiebeatz]

Nice!!! Did it arrive? What do you think?

[@RubenSmith]

Will this be an upgrade for my PreSonus Studio Channel? 🤔 I'm thinking about buying one of them tomorrow, lol. #studiochannel #upgrade #newgear

That setup though👀

[@archiebeatz]

Thanks Brian 🙌🏾🙏🏾

[@GodlySuperSaiyan]

what I wanna know is....what rack mount are you using? im looking for a good one to hold my gear, so its not stacking on top of each other.

[@atarifalcon]

Hi, what about the heat development in Warm Audio? I have two Golden Age Comp 2A and they get really warm, almost hot, after about 2 hours of operation. These are in a 19 Rack but still have good air circulation. What about the Warm Audio, does it get pretty warm during operation?

[@brothertoughlove]

Sounds great 👍🏿

[@archiebeatz]

Thank you!

[@Onlyjustwilly]

Hey Archie got a question I used currently the Wa-73 pre with the Wa76 compressor should I add this with the 76 at the same time or it should be run differently

[@igotnolife1208]

Hi audio engineer here, it depends what your doing. Usually the 2A is used for more singing or melodic vocals while the 76 is used for more aggressive / fast paced audio. I wouldn’t recommend using both at once because you can ruin your dynamics. I would use one while your tracking and then after you can use the other one for mixing to glue it together.

[@LifeaMechanic]

A code was typed into my phone on the keyboard when I was sitting on my desk and I searched the video and this came up

[@juice-beats4426]

Your content it's 🔥🔥

[@archiebeatz]

Thanks bro! 🙏🏾

[@PharaohLawLess1]

I have the Golden Age Project version comp2A which is very nice. I switched out the tubes to make it even better. I have the Warm Audio wa76 (their 1176) and the Warm Audio Bus Comp (their version of the SSL bus comp)

[@tonydiaz8904]

I have a Golden Age PREQ73 (Neve 1073 copy) and ready to get a comp. Not sure if I should go with the WA76, WA2A or the Comp2A. Which one do you like best for acoustic guitar and vocals?

[@PharaohLawLess1]

@@tonydiaz8904 O haven’t tried the wa2A but the Golden Age Comp 2A would be my choice. I have the Avalon vt737sp as my preamp of choice from what I have

[@hakanjohnson2726]

Comp2a is way better and if youndomthentube mod explained by MixbusTV then it is miles better than the warm audio cheap quality crap; i see tens of people each week having quality issues with WA and not surprised as we have been tomtheir HQ and seen the build process so stay away; far away!

[@Coco_Sultan]

​@@hakanjohnson2726 Thanks for the reassurance - I bought the Comp 2A with the mod in mind. As the new tubes haven't reached me yet, I've still had thoughts whether the Warm or Lindell options could have been better choices. If combined with the Kenetek mod, I have my hopes up that it will outperform many other choices.

[@bob.bobman]

Please share your settings on the comp and preamp.

[@Shawn_Keys]

Nice bro Thanks Again🔥🔥🔥💯

Thanks bro!

[@priiintplayzz6219]

Great video . can your pc or Mac impact audio performance ? For example I have a pc desktop setup for music and I feel like sometimes the sound of my microphone don’t sound good and sometimes It do . Maybe I’m losing my mind ?

[@jacksp8de]

It would be on your audio interface to convert the audio so that would be the a/d conversion. Mic placement and acoustics also is huge. Then you can look at the mic and the preamp

@@lesparza214 it’s Worth it!

[@hakanjohnson2726]

If this unit is ”Life” than you will die soon as you probably never heard or tested real LA2A which is MILES and MILES from this attempt. Won’t say it ain’t worth the 700-800 dollars but come on! Our 2 UA LA2A cost us nearly 20K and there are huge difference as we had a Warm audio for a/b and it was a funny day! The WA buscomp however sounds extremely close to our SSL 384 and 500 series SSL buscomp for half and a 5th of the price (384 unit) so please dont tell people crap like this as you will never hear the difference if you dont pull up a real one and show the huge dynamic and wide sound with the LA2A WARMTH that lacks in All these clones. We have lots of expensive outboards and the closest to a LA2A is our Drip comp which is an amazing unit all the same.

[@deandresmith5761]

Its better than plugs and most don't have 20k laying around

[@Allious131]

The most dumbest comment I have ever read

[@jmclane27]

@@Allious131very dumb. ARCHIE clearly wasn’t comparing it to the authentic/original model. This 🤡 clearly just wanted the tell someone that they have the LA2A. Mind you, there are hits being made everyday with far less than either of these hardware units. Dude needs to grow up lol
