Hey, there were a few key things missed in this video I thought I could shed some light on. 1) The black box with the blue light in the 500 series rack is a Shadow Hills Mono Optograph compressor (very hard to find, 2.4k) which Max Lord said was his favorite piece of outboard gear. 2) The u87 a.i he used was modded to be a tube mic. Max Lord (juices engineer) loves the u67 (a tube mic) but a vintage one is around 14k and the reissue is 7.5k,,, so what he did instead was purchase the innertube mod kit (2k-ish) and buy a vintage Siemmens tube (price idk) and modified it himself to be a tube mic. 3) He also modded the cl1b by swapping out the tubes for vintage as well. His reasoning was he didn't want to have the same exact sound as everyone else using identical "industry standard" gear. Love what you're doing, God Bless edit... if your wondering the chains are u87 > gml2032 > cl1b OR u87> bae1073d>Shadow Hills Mono Opto.. I know for a fact the song "girl of my dreams" was recorded using the gml chain (sugas vocals too).
Nice current vocal chain. Heavy hitting dream vocal chain. I got to get myself a LA-2A as well. It's a safe play of glue, lol. Thanks for commenting brother.
My dream vocal chain is so many of juice wrlds. His unreleased shows so many different ones that I genuinely can’t hear most other artists using. It’s hard to find them
Genre: I currently do mostly R&B vocals, from whisper quiet to belting. Current vocal chain is: SM7B (low pass filter ON and mid bump ON) without the windscreen, using a pop filter + Triton Fethead into the SSL2+ with the 4K filter on, then going into the UAD Neve 1073 plugin with the Male Clarity preset. I'm currently eyeing the Sony C-80, I think that with things like pultec, or acustica audio coral baxter I could pull the highs into something like a C-800G/Telefunken C12/Manley Reference. I love my current chain but I wish I could get more high end without having to do so much post-processing. I also would like to eventually pair the Sony C-80 with a 1073 heritage preamp clone. I have actually used the Manley + Neve1073 + TubeTechCL1B and Sony C100 + Neve 1073 + Distressor and I like those as well. I'm just looking for something that will sound somewhat finished once I get it recorded. Any tips, anyone?
Nice. I love the SM7B. The Sony C-80 is definitely a heavy hitter. I dropped the video for the C-80 last week and I was seriously surprised at how great it sounded. Definitely a great move. That's the beauty of recording a great quality signal, It can relieve the stress of possible heavy post-processing unless you are doing something stylistic you know. I think the upgrades that you are eye'ing are perfect. Just invest in one piece at time. It spend 10 years investing piece by piece. I got the studio desk and UAD satellite duo first in 2012. I hope this helps.
I know right. Believe or not, this just happened over the last 5-10 years. I'm going to have to get the CL1B here in the studio to test it out on a variety of vocals and instruments.
My setup is the shure sm7b going into a cloud lifter(brings the mic up a bunch of db) going into a ua volt1 for my audio interface going into MacBook Pro 💪🏽🚀
Thank you for this video I literally was looking for someone that knew what that bay neve 1073 strip was when I was watching the documentary an it showed him recording multiple songs with it.
What's up brother? Surprisingly, I recorded Nas last thursday and I'm editing it right now. 50 is coming up. I have recorded tons of the legends that's dropping first week in February, lol.. Thanks for commenting brother. I hope all is well with you man.
Peace bro, do you think the cl1b is compressing a big amount already or do you think it’s just slight work so they don’t smash the vocal at all? Cuz juice Wrld can go from quiet to loud super fast,
my current chain is a lauten eden to a chandler limited mic cassette out to a purple audio mc77 back to the tg1 opto built into the mic cassette then out to an rme adi2profs
I use a lauten eden to heritage audio 73eq elite to warm audio buss compressor to klark teknik kt2a its a pretty flavored chain but I find with the gentle setting on the lauten it's hard to make it sound bad even if I do lol
just curious why not ALL top artists use the sony C800g? Seems like thats the best of the best so if your a top artist why would you choose the U87 over it??
My Vocal chain is the TLM170r -> MPA ART PRO -> Apollo x I was curious I want to get the 1073 but is the 1073LB just as good as the 1073SPX I know EQ plays a part but you can always post edit
I record over trap beats inspired by zaytoven. I’m inspired to produce vocals like Future and Gucci Mane mostly. Neuman TLM 103 Apollo Twin Interface UAD Console/Pro Tools UA 610-B Pre-Amplifier Pultec EQP-1A Legacy Waves RVOX (Primarily for its gate) Tube-Tech CL1B Auto Tune EFX Waves Marroquin Reverb Waves H Delay I’ve found I don’t prefer much auto tune on my voice. So I use auto tune sparingly, my retune speed is usually fairly low and I use the humanize feature cranked at about 50%. I’m actually interested in using the SSL Native X Saturator in conjunction with it and may even replace Autotune with it all together if it compliments my voice the way I think it will. I’ll be swapping the Pultec EQ for the Fab Filter Q3. I’m saving up for the Neve 1073 to swap the UA610B for in the long run and I think that will complete my vocal chain for a while. I’m open to recommendations if anyone has any
Thank you all for watching and supporting the channel! Juice WRLD definitely created something truly special.
Just released my latest Juice WRLD leak vocal preset for Pro Tools on my channel!

You said that was a UNIVERSAL MIC and you kept going left . . and can't find that in your description, must be Uber expensive
It's $1,599 for the UA DLX and $999 for the LX. My apologies for the confusing.

@@archiebeatz Great to hear Archie. Looking forward to the videos.
Where do you get these chains?
Peace bro, do you think the cl1b is compressing a big amount already or do you think it’s just slight work so they don’t smash the vocal at all? Cuz juice Wrld can go from quiet to loud super fast,
we need youngboy or yeat next
my current chain is a lauten eden to a chandler limited mic cassette out to a purple audio mc77 back to the tg1 opto built into the mic cassette then out to an rme adi2profs
I use a lauten eden to heritage audio 73eq elite to warm audio buss compressor to klark teknik kt2a its a pretty flavored chain but I find with the gentle setting on the lauten it's hard to make it sound bad even if I do lol
are you using to studio monitors stacked on each other?
This was a while ago when I was currently testing the KRK v-series and KRK Rokits. Also, I was filming b-roll.
ok@@archiebeatz :)
but where you using them stacked or just beacuse it was practical@@archiebeatz
@@Poedpro No, I was literally just testing them and burning them in.
ok@@archiebeatz
i’m confused about uad cards what is that for
just curious why not ALL top artists use the sony C800g? Seems like thats the best of the best so if your a top artist why would you choose the U87 over it??
The 2 mics give a completely different sound
It’s not about the most expensive mic, it’s about the right mic for the right source
Anybody know what kind of cl1b settings you would want to be tracking with?
My Vocal chain is the TLM170r -> MPA ART PRO -> Apollo x
I was curious I want to get the 1073 but is the 1073LB just as good as the 1073SPX I know EQ plays a part but you can always post edit
