- In this video, watch producer Joey Waronker (Beck, R.E.M.) as he tracks at UA’s Studio 610, exclusively through Apollo interfaces and their included Realtime Analog Classics plug-in bundle.
Read the full interview with Joey about this session here: u.audio/2KtnOfE
While tracking “Colossus of Rhodes” by A.C. Newman of The New Pornographers, Joey Waronker demonstrates how easy it is to create album quality records with Apollo interfaces and UAD plugins.
For this tracking session, Joey choose plug-ins that are included on UA’s Analog Classics Pro Bundle. Specifically, he uses the Teletronix LA-2A Classic Leveler, 1176 Compressor, and the UA 610 Tube Preamp & EQ Collections. Joey walks through each instrument and explains where each plug-in is used along with the settings and thought process behind his choices. He also explains some of his mic choices for drums, bass, guitars and ends the session by tracking a string quartet.
All of the tracks you hear are unmixed, raw, and were recorded in realtime through Apollo interfaces with no additional processing. “The fact that the UAD preamps and EQs are truly reacting and responding as you’re recording like the original hardware units is pretty incredible.”

Why are people here complaining that mics are expensive, the room is treated, the players have talent, etc?? Those are things people should really try having anyways. All the money you save on outboard compressors, pres, eqs, and effects should make it so you have no excuse but buy great mics and treatments. Get over it
Also, you can acieve almost the same results with hard work and some less expensive mics (providing you do your homework).
True and even without the top of line mics the apollo does give you the advantages of great a-d conversion and the plug-ins are above the rest
Keyboard Warrior hard Amen!
WOW. This production really blessed me today! UA world class equipment!!
Man this sounds sooo smooth. Love it. Thanks UA.
glad I ran into this as I I'm now tracking drums at my home now!!! great to see you on here Joey!!!
If only all session went this smooth!...and paid .
And that's how, folks, a drummer should do the sound check
Yep. I’ve been guilty of going the total opposite direction. Lived it, and learned by getting lectured in the control room.
Precisely! That was one moment that really stood out to me as well. It's just simply what one would and should expect from a genuine pro.
what a great song and performance / arrangement + sound! WOW!
This is a hugely helpful video. Thanks UA
UAD-2 ... just add talent! Loved this video. Shows the value of a simple workflow. That said ... your overheads blew my budget :-)
I will be getting 3 Apollo's from y'all I was thinking of getting a console but the work of. This is seemless workflow Love it guys keep enhancing this feature awesome
So amazing when the talent is there. I love my UA goodies :)
Nice! I think we all want those Mics and the Budget for all the rest of the gear!!
Esto es realmente maravilloso! Gracias UA
This is my reference video for mixing hip hop. I just tweak the settings until everything sounds good.
U r a genius !!
Appreciate it. I'm doing it now as we speak. June 30th, 2018.
Excellent job, UA. I have the UAD-2 Duo ... but, to be honest: I haven't utilized it. This makes me want to purchase an Apollo and use it in tandem with my UAD-2 .... very nice product video, indeed.
Keep up the great work, guys!
Amazing video.I love the stock plugins.
Keeping it classic!!! Thanks for sharing. =)
Do a mixing video on this please!!! Sometimes you get wrapped up in the emulations that forget how good the legacy versions are.
Will definitely give some of these setting a go.
Sounds great!
Great demo. I have some nice hardware preamps, but this sounds good enough to make we want to try tracking with the 610 in Unison mode. Very effective.
Thanks for an informative and entertaining video/tutorial. There's value in having good gear, especially mic's and outboard gear. If I can pass on any suggestion to young musicians is when you're ready to step up then step right up. Don't waste your money on 'clones' which cost pennies to make in certain countries. Watch and listen to video's like this where professionals are at work.
This is awesome! Thanks for the explanation. I do have to say, with the male vocals I hear a little lisping. But that could be the vocalist instead of the processing
I saw Joey play with REM.He was fantastic.
Great video but what are the mics used on the drums!? Also would love the RAW files to practice mixing with or even just to know the name of the song!
Very cool. Where can I find the final version?
Sounds very pleasant
Beautiful
.. f ing shaker
Inspiring...
This video mostly shows the importance of very (very!) good microphones. There is no substitute for those.
and sources! great mics and decent preamps, recording nice rooms, fill with great drums and good player.
Those things ALWAYS matter
Of course, but an 87 isn't the only good mic out there. Some gems for way less money would also sound incredible in this song.
Processing on the way in is the key. Committing to the sound.
nice craft :)
A SM7 on the snare thats pretty cool
Is there anywhere to purchase/listen to this version of this tune? I like the original just fine, but this is absolutely gorgeous.
Came here to get schooled on using these plugins and here's Nick Lang -_^ Hope things are going well with you!
I have to say I am still trying to decide between the Apogee Symphony io MK2 and The Apollo X6
Me gusta!!!
Great vid! And great song and performance by the band.
Who is the female singer? I don't recognize her from earlier NP lineups.
Thanks, Gannon! Great job by everyone.
Awesome singer! Thx 4 the info. I love this version!
Does the pre print with the recording or is the signal dry when recorded with just the pre acting as a plugin?
Thanks Gannon! I've always wondered, and I've heard others wonder the same thing.
I would love to have one to see how it does with gospel
Alguém poderia mim informar qual é o nome dessa canção?
I wanted to hear the entire song. Where is it ?
Yeah! Where is it?
Where is this version of the song?? I love what I’ve heard from it and I cannot find it anywhere
There’s a version, but completely different from the version we heard in the video. I love this version a lot more than the one on Apple Music, Spotify, etc.
Do you have to use the console app or can you still utilize the dsp but load the plugs to your daw?
Hi Scene, no, you do not need to use Console to use the plugins in your DAW. Only for processing live inputs.
@@UniversalAudio Ah. So if you want to print the processing into your daw from the live feed, you use console. Otherwise, you can put it as a vst in your daw. But you do confirm that either way the unit's dsp chip still processes the plugin regardless?
@@SceneOfAction Correct, more or less. You can monitor with our plugins and NOT commit them. See here: th-cam.com/video/-tKMgnkPxXY/w-d-xo.html. Our plugs always run on our DSP no matter what.
@@UniversalAudio Hi! I just saw this. Thanks for the response. I just watched the video you linked. Please excuse my confusion. So if I can put a plugin on the track in pro tools and the plugin runs off of the uad dsp in realtime with no latency, what is the benefit of using console?
what is that mic stand?
Have to get virtual mics with this system re: Townsend Sphere
OOOOOOOO They are really trying to sale me on this product with the sweet string section!!!! lol. Trying to fight it!
Amazing I have the apollo quad silver and apollo 16 black but this is in a world class recording studio with very expensive mics.
Please show a real world ad pertaining to a bedroom studio with $100-$400 miss and diy or no treatment. Thks
If you go back through their videos they do have some videos showing tracks produced in someone's apartment, but they were stacking tracks more than having a full band.
Okay will locate them. Thanks.
Keep in mind though that even the finest equipment in a bedroom studio will still have the same bedroom studio problems- unwanted reflections, noise issues, phase problems, etc. Point being, the video isn't really cheating
do you remember the title for that video? I can't seem to find it. thanks for the heads up though
I’m here because he was credited in a live performance with Sia
Thousand dollar mics sold separately. I will say the takes are what does it though and you had some great artists here.
How many grand on mics?
I am so confused. Am I the only one who sees that we're running a -3 output with the kick drum @1:31 and we're clipping when he's mixing the floor tom @2:31, and then magically, when @2:58 rolls around, all of our levels are a perfect -15ish? Is the session drummer generating a difference of 17db (possibly - no way of telling because the floor tom clipped) between his reference transients and his actual playing of the record? What I'm saying is that the levels mixed pre recording seemed louder than the actual record that was printed. How did the session engineer attenuate these levels? Am I crazy? @universalaudio
Christopher Jennings look at the left channel signal, not the right panel cause it’s the monitor output levels.
@@314STI WOW. I can see how I missed it. they cover them up to give the hints on what to do with the plugins. THANK YOU.
How was the monitoring handled in this session?
Really enjoyed this video btw.
All Apollo Cues and Monitor outs.
So lemme get this straight. There are ZERO outboard preamps doing into the apollo. These are mic level inputs that are ONLY using the software preamps within the bundle. Is that correct?
Correct!
Universal Audio okay. That’s pretty rad. Definitely getting this.
@@nicktestajr It IS pretty rad!! :)
You can achieve same results without UA too. Processing on the way in is the key along with great players, arrangement and microphones ofcourse.
That said, I'm still getting on the UA board 😅
@@UniversalAudio What reverb was used on vocals?
They just need a splif now😂
Great! Now I just need some 10k mics and good to go!
Anyone know what kind of bass that is?
It seems to be a Klira Twen star
Is there a reverb on those vocals?
Oh yeah!
Someone know the name of the song?
Colussus of Roads
@@chadbierman8058 Rhodes
The mic used here, is the Neuman TLM67. Price; close to 2K euro's.......
It looks like the U67, which is 7k eur for the reissue. The TLM67 is an underrated mic though, would rather have two of those and money to spare.
0:18 so bad audio, are you using Apollo ?
Amazing song! The new one is much faster and i doesnt enjoy it so much
6:25 - Sorry, but this guy looks like the "Rapper" Example 😂
Michael Luppi?
What instrument? I can ask around.
@@UniversalAudio i thought i saw him on keyboards. singer for vision divine, keyboardist for whitesnake
Well, I don't get that this isn't a fair representation of what the interface can do. The mics on the drums aren't really THAT fancy and I see no super outrageously expensive gear used here other than that 67 either. Lots of great records have been made with just a Neumann TLM-103 and Apollo so if you can't get good sounds with that, it ain't gear what you should be worried about... Pretty sure you can make an awesome sounding record with minimal equipment and a decent-sounding room. The Apollo just opens a lot of doors for people who aren't at the stage of blowing 4k on a compressor.
You are right. Also the bass mic is a Re-20. Certainly rather inexpensive. But awsome!
But who says the choices need to be expensive? It only adds to how powerful this thing is. Also, is a very great introduction for engineers who don't take the time for proper sound checks and level adjustments
Lefty
A good quality recording starts with the mic and then the preamp then outboard, then the recorder.. as the recorder is important in the chain,. It has to start with a great mic and great player which this video shows,. So the point about the very expensive mics comes into play that if you have that part right, the recorder has less to do with the outcome.. it's absolutely part of the process but this video is misleading cause anyone with that high end mics will have a console and outboard gear and the Apollo though it has them internally, the end user is not gonna be using a vintage u67 and then be so glad they don't have to have a console and outboard processing.. lf Apollo is aiming for the project studio user, then use project studio mics too.. cause it's hard to tell if the Apollo is really making the recording great or is it the $30k in mics that made the recording sound good..
I have also said this on many other videos by a lot of other companies.
They make these videos with lots of processionals using high-end "supporting" gear.
For example: The room alone is going to make a significant difference in the recording.
Most people do not have that level of treatment.
Lastly, it is so comical that they are using high end Neumann mics that most bedroom producers cannot afford.
I am sure UA is great but they should make demos showing real life scenarios for the majority of their users.
Who’s that girl?
With that kind of production, you can Run everything thru a cheap M-Audio interface and get an amazing result
Everything will sound great using those mics, a true test would be using budget mics
P.o.B pedals They sound great, because they are in great sounding rooms.
7:42 That´s the key. Once you get raw tracks like that, you´ve already won. Is not about the apollo or the mics. Is the musicians and the room.
People still don't get this. Just look at the comments. That's where I am spending my $
Wait, but there are still UA plugins all over this -- they were just printed (the disclaimer reads "no ADDITIONAL mixing")
Beautiful
The f ing shaker tho turn it down. Hi hat is already there
The mics used in this cost SOOO many times more than the Apollo interface. LOL
It must be a pain in the ass to De-ess that male singer, good voice tho
You might think based on his speaking voice, but then again they didn't show a de-esser being used and we heard some pretty nice sounding tracks that were untouched. Mic placement can really help that, in my experience.
Alex Breyer any tips with placement
Pjevač ili je mutav ili su ga deesovali. Potajno. 🤓
Nice ... but everything starts with the song arrangement thru the room acoustic, instruments and player qualities followed by those extremely expensive mics ... it means you couldn't make it bad with any preamps and soundcard in this case :-)
think about it, if a 3500.00 U87Ai is all that's standing between you and your dreams then for fuk/s sakes get the damn mic and make your hit but I'm willing to bet, even if someone handed you a U87 you'd find a new excuse..
damn shakers, lol - great video otherwise :)
Sounds good but that shakers throwing off the whole vibe of the song
what a depressing song
patty cake patty cake. Drums sound so much better when hit correctly and with balls!
Ten minutes of nothing
This is a joke right!
