honored to be part of your chain, amazing vocals man, incredible

Thanks Josh! You do great work :)

Came for the vocal chain, stayed for the Karnivool. :)

Killer track in the beginning 🔥 awesome setup, and the weather forecast was the cherry on top 🤣

[@monovladd4392]

FINALLY, someone with a decent video on Stam audio. It's the first time I've seen 76-5 in action and now I feel like I NEED this in my life. I NEED IT!!!, good job. I would have liked to see it with more severe compression but either way it sounded very good. That LA3 type optic looked super good too. I'm super interested in Stam audio now. 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@hinesification]

Holy, SHIT dude! Awesome vocals! Love the video

[@fragnet7673]

So good! What an episode. All the tiny tools we need!

[@PierreBaudinat]

Thank you.
Smart and clear.
It made my day and I think I'll be back soon.

[@lynnwalker9650]

Whoa, without knowing or trying, I have virtually the same gear. All the Stams, plus the HRK. I use an ELI Derr Esser in place of the dbx, because :). Plus a Cranborne 500 adat instead of midas, giving me the spaces for a Lil Chop Shop and a Kush Clariphonic. Because, because.

[@_starkinson5806]

I watched many of Your tutorial (BIG THANKS!!) but never heard You sing. I am stunned (as a singer). You are truly gifted, man :)

[@tonygunz21]

Just a minor correction: LA-3A style compressors do not have valves (tubes). The LA-3A was designed to be a successor to the LA-2A, and transistor/solid-state designs were the newer and more modern option at the time.

[@leftofcenter4]

Pretty interesting, the space 500 rack, I didn’t know they even made those..thanks ..thumbs up..

[@danymalsound]

Nice job, man! Great voice!

Impressive informative video that gives the viewer tons of details and handy tips of gear and their functions. Thank you!

[@DigitxlRxse]

This was the video I needed to see! Been wanting to take the leap of faith & invest in hardware for a hybrid setup. I was torn between rack mount vs lunchbox style ! Definitely going lunchbox 💎

Very well done video. Great information !!! Thank You

I have the SA87 and I love it.

[@aleksamrkela831]

Great singing, man! The Stam 87 sounds awesome. Did you have any noise issues with the Midas L6, tho?

[@adamsteelproducer]

No noise issues at all, I think people massively overstate things like that

[@BYWaudio]

It depend of the module you put in and the order you have them in. I have one here to test on and I don't have any problem, got it 3 years ago. But if someone is handy you can simply change all the caps in it, may do the trick, btw CAPI does a really good 11 space rack for cheap, if you can get those, They are always out of stock.@@adamsteelproducer

Focusrite ISA one digital, Lindell X7-500, PEX-500, Tegeler Vocal Leveler ... both AKG C414

[@kickyourconceptskyc7885]

Hey there, great vid! both stam-comps are out of stock, what altenative would you prefer? greetz

[@beigela]

stam can sometimes be difficult to obtain. what you want tho is an 1176 clone. most companies make their own version of this fet-style compressor, but if you're wanting a blue stripe, specifically, there's black lion audio, igs, hairball audio and a few others. I'd recommend trying as many different styles and brands of compressors as u can, to find what works best for u.

[@markallen381]

But what if I don't like crunchy? I just want a pure clean sound.

[@adamsteelproducer]

Then something like an Audient interface is exactly what you’re looking for! Their iD console preamps are super clean

[@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios]

I'm admittedly confused by your re-emergence on the channel. But welcome back from Audient? ;-)

[@anidea5646]

Hey do you think this chain works well for male rap vocals? If not, any suggestions? Thanks!!!

[@TheWeazel01]

Maybe a strange question but is the light on your Stam Audio 1176 not working? Or doesn't it have any light in it? Great video!

[@adamsteelproducer]

It’s working fine, the light in the studio is much more powerful so it looks dim in comparison. Happens a lot when filming

[@TheWeazel01]

@@adamsteelproducer Ah ok! Don't know a lot about filming but makes total sense. Thanks!

[@blacklisted4885]

Wowzers, the man can belt out a tune!
Theres noticeable hissy noise in background. Is that normal with valves

[@adamsteelproducer]

Yeah that’s normal on a signal chain with 3 valves in series! This is why most 80s and onwards signal chains had gates in. Also this noise tends to get buried on tape

[@bravorec8071]

Hi Adam
Do you have an tip or trick for better using the share Sm7b with the cranborne ?
I use that chain for tracking but I don't like it that much, maybe I am missing something

@@adamsteelproducer
I have a bit of a off-topic question not from this video, but if I record a source to a Field recorder and then want to mix using a 500 series rack or anything afterward, the audio effect and stuff will essentially be the same right? Only difference being it is post processing rather than live

[@samueloluyinkaojomu6548]

Would rather stay with the Audient Preamps and send the 1176 and LA2A compressors chain into its send and return inserts

[@jasperdany]

Have you tested the V3a 500 series from Audioscape in comparison to the Stam ?

[@fross1203]

Is this the ideal 500-series vocal chain or the ideal vocal chain of donated kit?

[@adamsteelproducer]

Ideal vocal chain. I reached out to Stam for those specific units, and if they said no I would have been buying them anyway. I prefer the LA3A over the LA2A for vocals, Pulse Technologies don’t make a valve Pultec in 500 series, the 76A is my ultimate vocal comp etc etc

[@SeemoreDunkan]

I was reading online how the Midas 500 lunchboxes don't have enough current once there's stronger signal going into the units, what is your experience with this? Thanks :)

[@adamsteelproducer]

I heard that as well, it’s nonsense. The Midas power supplies can give a lot more than some of the “big name” units. I think whoever is coming up with these things (I also heard something about noise from the PSU bleeding into preamps, which has also turned out to be false) is upset that something affordable is good. Surely, the thing they paid way more for must be better?

[@SeemoreDunkan]

Man I really hope you're right.. the price difference in enormous and Midas r supposed to be a console powerhouse with good reputation @@adamsteelproducer

[@waves7300]

I heard the Midas legend 6 is noisy, but that doesn’t seem to be the case here. Do you get any noise when its near other gear?

None at all, I think that might be gear snobs trying to justify their $1000 purchase of a $250 item

No they aren’t, there’s no magic in the other brands. A good silent power supply is a good silent power supply. I’ve heard them both and they’re identical if your modules are designed to be in spec
