I hope you enjoyed Part 1 of my Vocal Chain series! Links to lead vocals, reverbs, and delay videos in description! 🎤🎶
Love watching your progress. I am confused tho, how can you have your preamp set to 60db as in other videos and then hit the tube tech CL1B as that would surly push the input to distort ?
I would really appreciate to know the exact setting your are using on the mic >preamp CL1B> Apollo ❤
Her red knob was in line level volume adjustment on the preamp not for the mic.
Oh no Karra you broke my heart, this is emotional damage, how do you expect me to achieve this with my cracked plugins and my nta1 mic 😢😢😢
Jesus that mic is worth more than my car
And she makes more money off that mic than anyone will ever make off their car besides professional racers
@@papertiger9845nice
same bro
And almost my house price
@@papertiger9845As she should. I’m not trying to take anything away from her you still need to be incredibly talented to use that equipment to make money.
Sm57 + behringer audio interface with cracked plugins lol
That's the best 😂🔥
Get it, son! (There are lots of upgrades you can make for a LOT less than this-lemme know if you need a recommendation for a mic or preamp!)
This is how the best do it
"This is how rich people mix"
Exactly, hardware that feels like it regulates everything itself
Every component 🥴
Exactly. I can name 100 artists making much more interesting progressive music on much more lowkey lowfi equipment.
@@telemachiaher music sucks but she pretty and her fella is very knowledgeable
*print recordings…
This is totally wicked!!!
But just a reminder to all… you don’t need all this to make incredible music! Use what you have 😊
True but I’d say it’s true on both ends meaning equiptment that’s too cheap also can’t make great music, me personally anything better than a focusrite all the way up to an Apollo is a good range
All you Focusrite + Rode NT1-a Starter peeps stand up!
I got the Focusrite Scarlet Solo + Rode NT1 hahaha
@@petebass4959 it’s really not, Rode NT1-A is a great vocal mic and doesn’t take a lot to make it sound professional
NT1-a + Line6 UX2… 😂
Well.. rode NT USB but otherwise... Same 😂
Well.. rode NT USB but otherwise... Same 😂
Not bad not bad... $20,000 vocal chain😂
“Whatever DAW I feel like” love that 🔥
The fact that your start with a 10,000 dollar mic says it all
But to go to the knock off neve 😂😂
Too bad mo money doesn't equal mo sound
@@harpoleon6806In the analog world, emulations are welcomed by all. It’s not just “knockoffs”. Some emulations of pieces of gear are even better than the original
@therealea u don't go get a knock off Lamborghini when u flexin $50k key chains regardless of the reasons
@@harpoleon6806 This ain’t cars😂 analog gear is veryyy different. Sometimes it’s not even about matching the original, but the difference in tone of the emulation may be exactly what you’re looking for that the original doesn’t have
that only fans money going in 💰💸
Bro 😭
Nice high quality minimal setup!!! That’s my situation!!!
What about the mouth clicks?
Peanut butter
I used to have a nice analog studio set up in the nineties that cost a lot of money. Today, with advanced technology and software, you don't have to spend a ton of money to get great vocal or instrument sounds. 🤷🏾♂️
This.
Why not the Neve 1073? Im trying to make a choice between Neve 1073 , Vintech 73x(the one in your video) or the Rupert Neve channel strip. Whats best for Jamaica dancehall vocal ?
Basic setup and cracked plugins. You don’t need a Neve
the duckmouth LOLO...and missing top clothing.... great engineer..LOL!
Software can easily replicate those "vintage sounds".
You don't need 2k of analog to sound professional. This is for the beginners.
this whole setup is 20k easy. sheesh I wish lol. I'm trying to get some hardware now to pair with my Manley and my Apollo. The sound you get from hardware is just so good, and allows you to use little to no plugins
Yes - simple but very effective setup!
I have a quarter of that and I legit need nothing else. Point is, it's not what you have it's what you can do with what you have!
If you're good, you're good.
Nice hardware!
You are helping out a lot. Thanks for the info. Blessings
Musical genius and gorgeous 😮
Processing on the way in 👍. Costs money up front but saves a huge amount of time. For the less well-off the ART Voice Channel is great value.
What’s ur vocal chain…it’s made of unobtainium
Lmfao 😂 I swear bro most us average folk gotta go to the studio for all this. 300,000k with kids and a fam is like winning the lottery
@@najee2123 I own a recording studio already to be honest.....but this is just unnecessarily expensive...you could get just as good possibly even better results with a vocal chain that costs 1% of what this vocal chain costs....a famous example of this is look at Russ's vocal chain....lol
I just thought it was funny that she was humble bragging about her maxed out end game vocal chain, like it was no big deal
Super dope setup! Definitely don’t need half this to get a really good sound tho, including the mic ❤️ keep being great 🙌
She is not telling people they need what shes got.
As they say in Russia - show-offs are more expensive than money
So dope 🔥🔥
To Small artists here who wanna start, a Good mic under for 400 like Lewitt pared with The Heritage 73 640$ eats her 14k setup in terms of price performance and is nearly as good in terms of sound Quality
. And remember the Skills are what makes you a good musician not a 14k setup. Even Though nice to have not gonna lie.
What made you choose the vintech instead of a regular neve 1073
I love my Apollo 8 channel. Nice chain you got there
Beautiful setup
Just a friendly reminder. You dont need all that, you can make a billboard hit w just
sm58 + fethead + focusrite.
IN YOUR MOMS BASEMENT
Just really learn mixing & Mastering. Rest of it is just you, your vocal delivery, lyrics, etc...
Chin up king. You got this 💯⚘
Super clean love it
You don’t need all that expensive outboard gear. If you don’t wrote amazing songs it doesn’t matter what gear you use. Some of the greatest albums of all time were recorded on basic 4 track analog machines. Some of Elliott Smith’s early albums were literally recorded with an sm57 plugged straight into a tascam cassette 8 track tape recorder.
That's an awesome vocal chain, you are saving a lot of time rec into it, analog sound better and save time straight to the point, good 👍
I’m in love
What is the model of the screen you have on the left side of your workstation? I see it's monitoring your UAD's Console app but idk what screen is that.
Nice SETUP, congrats 👍
Bro!! This at least a 25k vocal chain 🤯🤯🤯🫡 🔥🔥🔥
Right? My first question would not be what is your vocal chain, it would be how did you afford your vocal chain!
And still misses with the crazy lack of sibilance control. $25k, all out of budget for an EQ lol
@@RealHomeRecording She makes alot of money from paid promotions and voice over work and affiliated marketing plus Tiktok and TH-cam add money.
@@HOLLASOUNDS makes sense. Thanks for the info
@@Junebug787 tell me about it bruh🙄🙄 I had to turn my volume button down. I'm all fed up with Karra doing vids like this and still lack the sibilance control. like bruh💀
Warm Audio is the route to go for us poor folks lol. I personally do not like the sound of Sony mics. But thats just my ear and respect other people's choices that sound better for and to them.
I have a Warm Audio WA-CX12, Warm Audio WA-73 EQ and a Warm Audio WA-1B going into an Audient ID-44 MKii and connected to a RME ADI-2 DAC FS via ADAT, so Im getting the great functionality of the Audient interface but bypassing it's AD/DA converter. The RME converters are so much better than Apollo's.
It sounds golden!!!
NICE TASTE IN GEAR!!
Thanks
I love the CL1B
I love it
Hallo , you Use eq Settings on the c 800 g ?
Love your content 🎉
Ur the truth love u inspire me ❤
Why did you chose that Neve instead of the classic 1083?
THE C 800 OR THE U87 WITH EVERYTHING ELSE IS BUTTER!
A c800 going into an Apollo is like putting gold rims on a bucket
Right I was expecting a lynx aurora or sum lol
what? it's not much difference when it's going line in. n it's not like every record on the radio was recorded on an apollo or anything
@@iAmFlorezthe ADC on Apollo are good, but there are ADC’s that are much better, which you would expect to be converting a $18k+ vocal chain lol
@@JakeLewisReal i've recorded in some of the biggest n most expensive rooms in the country and they all are running apollos
@@iAmFlorez that's amazing for you! that doesn't change my original comment.
That feet pic money goes hard 🗣🔥‼️
Can you replicate this in plugin mode?
Why the Vintech over a Neve or Bae?
Is this studio only for personal use?
Recently came to see your shorts. You keep inspiring❤
Gratitude 🙏
Beautiful
Awesome chain! Keep up the good work and forget the haters!
I'm not hating. It's just not that great of a mic.
"Spend more, get better sound" is an unfortunate myth that many people fall for. I blame Sony, not her
Your shorts are awesome they just keep popping up on my shorts and you give great advice thx
Amazing 👌
I'd also recommend the izotope De-clip.
Her vocal chain costs more than my yearly income…
nah you don't need fancy gear like that It's just cool to have but usually works better in the daw
@@luccianoblock5127 here’s the answer everyone always asks for. This is objective:
“You will never be able to achieve the sound you dream of with your current setup. Can you make good sounding mixes and songs? Of course. Will it ever be THAT sound? Hell nah.”
@@bigstevedzn2353 it will and I have with my setup and any setup I believe oppositely
@@bigstevedzn2353 your wrong coming from and engineer u can make a computer and mic with decent interface sound like it was perfected in the studio and still get that sound a lot of our hits now from new artist are recorded in home studios plus all they do when they done recording is send it to a good engineer for example the engineer for young thug (Alex tummy) mixed bestfriend one of his biggest hit in a car and laptop not only that he recorded savage mode with metro boomin(part one) in a basement with a cheap muffled mic and guess what it won a whole Grammy beating other artist who recorded in pro studios with gear but because he was the engineer and his skill it don’t sound like it was in a basement and u forget engineer s can manipulate to get them sounds alot of pro engineer said this THE ONYL REASON WHY GEAR IS IMPORTANT IS LIKE SHE SAID WITH THE C800 mic “it brings out great sound without any mixies”. So the purpose is to make it easy for us while giving the sound we want that’s all GEAR third example and I’m done Ali the engineer for Kendrick said he only use gear for crips sound because it makes it easier and give that sound already then me trying then he does the rest in the box so replying to u u are very wrong and mixing is a huge everlasting rabbit whole my guy if u can’t see it like that u won’t get it and music
@@SamiDaComposer I came from an mxl 990 into a focusrite 2i2, to a u87 into a BAE 1073 and Apollo x8. There is a HUGE difference. Ultimately the mix is greater than the sum of its parts. I am NOT saying that great sounding mixes cannot be made from amateur gear in NON suitable environments, I’m saying that the sonic detail of the vocals in particular will never be the same as your favorite artists BECAUSE of the gear. No matter if you’re using a slate VMS emulation or UAD mic pre emulation, it lacks specific magic of gear. probably should have been more specific in hindsight, but considering it’s a vocal chain video I figured I already was. And in terms of the actual MIX itself, matching the top mixers sonic signature is not achievable without gear. It is impossible to mix like Mike dean without his specific outboard gear. Alex tumay is a clean mixer who only recently (last 5 years or so) started using outboard gear (culture vulture, unfair child etc…). Great mixes are always possible from any equipment
that is one very awesome setup. THX for sharing
Cặp loa của em đẹp quá
Just tell me what is the difference between analog gears and digital/emulated plugins?
In My opinion not that much however the plugin version of real hardware often does not function the same so you will need to ignore the fact that while they look the same they wimt sound the same with the same settings.
I need this mic!
U da girl girly fire set up
Not many people will hear enough of a difference to drop a lot of money on higher quality equipment. Buy what you can and upgrade over time. The best equipment won’t matter if you don’t know how to use it. If you can’t make a focusrite and a Rode-NT1A sound decent, then you have no business buying more expensive products imo.
When I write, the peak sounds, how should I write so that it sounds comfortable?
Beast set up monster set up
You look like a doll. ❤
Have you ever tried 10 to one ratio on the tube tech?
That’s badass. Have you ever used the Manley voxbox?
Hey Karra question, I’m considering doin a degree in Audio production. Is it really worth it? Are you guaranteed of jobs after completion of program? With a hefty amount of student loans too
Nah you don’t need it. Buy the equipment, pay for courses online, shadow an engineer at a local studio, practice relentlessly, make a brand and get it out there, network in person and on social media.
I use the same cans! 🎧
Interesting… why not spend the money on the neve if you like that neve sound? I mean you’re already 10k deep on a mike. You should go all out for the pre amp as well!! It’s usually worth it
Old equipment can be a pain to maintain or fix if something goes wrong
Nice vocal chain . How fortunate you are to have that Sony C800 mic
Dream setup
Weren’t you on the new FL Studio 21 update?
I believe she has done voice over work for Ableton and ReasonStudios.
I usually see her with Reid Stefan. The realest puppet in the game.
I’m in love! And with the Girl too!
This is a good video for teaching what you use and also a good way to brag how much money you got 😂
She could afford a console instead she’s using Uad plugins 🤡
@@Matus0919 lol ye
She is happy using what shes got and it's working She is having some succes and can spend her money on what ever. I recently spent about £5000 on gear, I can make do without, I just rather spend My money on music related then have it just sitting around.
@@Matus0919Imagine your head will explode when you find out that today’s greatest mix engineers often mix in the box.
@@Matus0919She doesn’t even need a console lol. Do you see the money she’s spent on her hardware alone? She’s more than able to get a good mixes without a full console😂
Too clean
I'm intrigued, can you please link me to your music, Karra. I'd love to check you out.
The cat near theses cables and hardware, take a good insurance or be very very nice with the black one 😅
The mic by itself is over 10k!!! 🔥🔥🔥🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Honestly, I prefer the sound of the U87 and U67 over the C-800 🤷♂️
Ok, reading all the haters, I have to say having followed Reid and Karra over the recent years, they work hard and invest in gear because they’re devoted to their art. Unless I am wrong, they aren’t rich folks without a clue but a couple with a shared passion for what they do. It’s choices right?
Like how much can I borget for studio of this stand with good qualities equipment like yours gul?
Haven't you spam posted this same comment on multiple videos?
🔥🔥🔥these are my dream goals Karra!!
Nobody even thought of the sony800g intil recently people found out doctor DRE used it & did some research then BAM!!!!!!!
❤❤❤❤
Thats fire❤❤
i mean yeah that analogue stuff prolly all enough major changes and minor with the daws
Micrphone with a huge power supply box😮
Do you use a de-noiser to get rid of the background noise?
Use and expander or the waves plugin “x-noise”
in a proper studio there is no background noise to remove.
Why do you need all that when the Apollo has them same plug ins that those machines do?
This is so good and would love to have that but just so everyone is aware u can get the same/similar results spending much less money.
how did you afford all this gear
Records from my phone still sound decent to me.
Sony c800 👍
Can I find your music anywhere?
Great gear
You ballin i only use a volt 1 interface and my dbx 286s then that goes 2 my tlm 103
