Awesome format/content! I just found and subscribed to your channel. I’m building out my first 500 series unit. Starting with an Avedis MA5 and trying to figure out what to do next. I’ll be watching a bunch of your videos. Thanks for sharing!

[@alecbrits]

Ahh, enjoy the journey! :)

[@LittleHandsConcrete]

I’m not here for surgery either. Nice work Alec

[@alecbrits]

Thanks so much! :)

[@JEBJOSH]

awesome reviews as always. If you dont mind me asking what cameras and lens do you use

[@alecbrits]

Thank you so much! :)
Canon 5D MKiV. Sigma 35mm 1.4 art lens. For the talking head. And then an iPhone for the unit. :)

[@francois936]

Do u have any recordings of your songs to sell? Any albums available?

[@alecbrits]

Soon! :)

Eq in my original studer channel strip is very noisy when is on... Don't know why.

[@alecbrits]

Probably best to talk to a technician about that. :)

[@13alan69]

@@alecbrits don't need to. After whole day of resoldering, testing etc I have found very usefull information in the manual: 'This filter noise cannot be attenuated by the linear fader. Therefore switch off all filters when not in use.' So there is an eq noise! ;) And like I said in comment to different video, it only shows when you are using whole mixer, with master units. There is no extra noise with eq on when I'm using input unit only. Problem solved... Kinda :p

[@jimc2384]

It like a sooth plug in with adding clarity at the same time. Sounds tape like in ways.. Do you agree?

[@alecbrits]

It feels quite unique to me, in that I can boost or cut a serious amount without it feeling unnatural. It’s hard to find plugins that do that well in my experience. :)

[@charley420]

I tend to think plugins are just fine for surgery. Nowadays, the whole point of outboard is vibe and personal enjoyment.

[@alecbrits]

Absolutely agree! :)

[@gretamcconkey3459]

Also mixing with your ears instead of your eyes. It seems people forget that

[@LondonSteveLee]

In the context of the whole mix I think the bottom band added too much mud. Liked the mockney accent at the beginning!

[@alecbrits]

Yeah, I think that’s where the added low cut would be an absolute godsend. :) why thank you!

[@nkozi]

Me when I need to control the nasal:

[@alecbrits]

Hahahaha :D

[@JornLavoll]

oh wow! i need more empty 500 slots :/

[@alecbrits]

It would appear that we are always 2 slots short.

[@mikewolfe9458]

Thanks!

[@alecbrits]

Thank you so much Mike! :D
