Finally someone running actual music through this machine and not some generic drum loops that tell you nothing about the true musical color this piece of gear adds. thanks for that! informative as always!
Also nice to hear gear tested with something else than house/techno!
💯
👍👍👍
This is the best video for demonstrating the effect of Analog Heat on boom bap style beats. Thank you Marlow for the insight!!
Very tempted by one of these since seeing it your videos. Thanks for the demo !
Haven't found anybody making a better lo-fi keep it up Marlow
Thank you. keep up the good work
Love the heat!
Such a slept on piece of gear... instant character and really warms stuff.. u should make more videos on this machine, ur boom nap perspective is superb
yes, it makes everything sound better
The wet knob adds so much to the sound just by tuning it lightly. Very nice
Good to see you have found your way to elektron Gear....
Just got one looking forward to trying it out. Good video man you always got the best vibes in your vids 🤘
This is a year old Marlow, but I'm picking up a Analog Heat MK2 this week from Guitar Center, and this video was extremely helpful my friend!! Thank you!🙏🏾✊🏾💚
🤔💬 Hmmm? I need to hear more examples.... #Salute
This was great 👌🏼
Great points.
Feel similar to the SP16 & the dsi filter.
Great video 👊🏿
Thanks 4 sharing !! it sounds warm & Dope !! :) ONE
Got the Jay Dee TCQ Low End Theory vibe going. Nice coloring.
Ima need one now
Fantastic video. Its good to see how you can use equipment normally praised by dance music producers in Boom Bap😊
Heat is heat in any language
Dope man
Sick heads up brother. 🙏
Thanks for doing a video on the "Heat" I was looking for a new gear to color my beats with. Think I may just pick this gear up. I also do boombap and chill hop type beats. Thanks for the info bro.
The Heat is definitely a great pick to add something extra to the beats, a bit pricy but it does wonders.
Love my heat, also like that you can use it as an audio interface....
Thanks for the video 🙏 Also nice to see you enjoy the Heat.
Ask and you shall receive! Thanks my guy!
I’ve got two. I might get another 🤤
Super chill video on the machine. Really considering getting one now. I was Concerned with the filters as I truly love 4pole filter and this only seems to have 1 and 2 pole filters. But they seem to be nice.
Definitely adds something extra to the music.
@@mpchead Yea I use filters and analog type saturation, drive a lot in the box, but was never quite happy with the sound so I think this is it.
Elektron makes some great sounding boxes.
Yes they do
CHRISGALACTIC BEATS!!
@@CDeering What up bro! Hope you're doing well.
Been debating one of these for awhile. Already have a nice ssl clone compressor and Allen and Heath vf1 filter, running mix thru zed 420, deciding on a parametric eq at about the same price. Feel like I can do these with that set up but this seems more of a creative unit.
Yeah, the Eq is really nice, not very flexible but does wonders to the beat. But it won't be a full on EQ. I am also looking at Parametric EQ's for this year, still need to do some research tough.
Great video. I use a pretty similar workflow with the RC-20 plugin
For the price, the Analog Heat mkII is really a no-brainer IMHO. I think I paid £650 for mine new, which is crazy.
8x stereo distortion/saturation circuits,
7x stereo analog filters,
Simple, yet sublime tone controls,
Balanced ins/outs,
Presets,
And superb build quality.
It has it's own, controlled, and unique sound... I'll never sell mine.
Though, for full on, mono nastiness, I'd probably reach for one of my old Lovetone pedals, or some Boss unit coupled with a ReAmper and a DI box... The AH2 makes good things sound great, but it won't necessarily take a naff sound and make it exciting and interesting the way a good distortion or overdrive pedal can, - but that's not really its purpose....
love to ALL, feel no hate
I use it in small doses, but it has so much under the hood. I say its like having lfo tool, but in hardware form. I know its expensive, but I find its something i cannot get rid of lol
Only thing id say as an owner of heat, is be careful with resonance. Like legit u can go deaf if its misused.
These things are awesome... For the cost of a good pro class clean pre amp for better quality audio recordings. You get so much more than anything else for the cost of a decent outboard pre amp. These things are a ace clean pre amp for the price at very least... But you get all the dirt, dist, drive, warmth or enhancement to go on top... I haven't begun mentioning the creative filtering & modulation tricks for being a pro fx tool as well... for the $'s. I have one but I'll eventually prefer to own three. The Heats are the best outboard tools to pair in series connections to other good quality outboard fx units/pedals... If you have outboard multi fx or ddl gear... Stick your Heats before or after them... You will want to buy another Heat or 2 as well. Lol
Very underrated product
Best thing since sliced bread(mk 1)
Again thanx for a very insightfull video. If I understand you correct, via the overbridge it is possible to use it on multiple audiotracks in my DAW at the same time (for instance on the individual bassline, kick, snare, hat and sample audiotracks) ?
Great video, I was hoping u would make a video about the analog heat😁. The things u talk about in the end, videos on analog comps and eqs, sound super-interesting👍. There aren’t many (or any?) out there making videos on analog comps and eqs from a lofi/boom bap perspective.
I agree, there's really nothing on youtube, that might change this year.
Damn, I want one of these so bad but they are just so darn expensive! Saturation is such a significant part of music and my experience as a mix engineer, though I have probably 50 or so different distortion or harmonic colouration plugins and I use only a few, so it's hard to gauge whether i would even use these distortion models all that often. Distortion sounds best when it's reminiscent of old hardware or distortion types, and even light amount go a long way. Also I would seriously advise against buying hardware gear like compressors or EQ's as most big producers nowadays work in the box anyway, making them obselete imho. I just can't figure out whether it's worth getting hardware distortion gear, though this would be numero uno on my list.
You cant get this kind of sound in the box for now unfortunately even with DSP powered plugins like UAD's plugins, and i have tried pretty much all the Digital distortion plugins you can think of by now. Regarding the price thing, i never buy from big retail stores and sellers anymore especially right now with the economy the way it is its better to buying second hand equipment off of eBay or Reverb. Sometimes you can find a sellers selling at a 30-40 percent of the retail price.
Me and my brother both produce, at the moment I just have small set up recording into sound card and daw. His studio is much bigger with a lot of older synths and outgear, no computer, all going through a midas mixer....his mixes have much better character than mine. I think my mixes also sounded better going through a mixer.
It'll be the process, not the gear, that makes your brother's mixes sound better. Don't overcook your sounds, keep overall levels low during the production phase, remove unnecessary frequencies with EQ and don't smash everything with compression, not least before the mixing/mastering phase.
@@Claidheambmor Yes I do all that but to my ears hardware equipment just adds a little more flavour.
Alright awesome video as always now how do you do the 303-type ducking?
Marlow, what do think adds the most to your mixes, the Tegler Magnetimis or the Analog Heat?
I run my mpc 1000 through an asr x pro in the same way.
are you using a particular effect from the ASR X pro? ASR X/pro has a great sound.
This is what I’ve been looking for! Wondering at that price point if they’re is any rack equipment that’ll do the same job for less. I’m
Not seeing $700. Great review
Well if you think about it this is an all analogue machine with different filter types, an analogue EQ and 8 different saturation characters. I know it is not cheap but I don't think you can get better at this price point. plus you can get the mk1 for cheaper and it does the same thing.
I love the Dilla Picture on The Wall…that’s different ❤…Dilla The Great!
From one sample head to another, I can thoroughly recommend the Isla s2400, such a beast don’t think I will ever need another sampler! Cheers for the heat mk2 review gotta try one at somepoint & now the +fx is out used prices are dropping 😃
Did you keep the heat in the end?
Love your music and your videos man! I’ve been looking at the analog heat to use with my MPC One. Do I need an audio interface for this to work? Any suggestions would be appreciated thanks 🙏🏽
The Analog Heat comes with overbridge, check it out. It can connect to you DAW as a vst and you could record that way. Do some research on that, I think that could work .
Well, there goes my stimulus check. 😅
😂😂😂 2 years later
Hey Thank you vor that Video I was wondering it can be include that machine in my process and how it sound in that kind of path, if I can give give an advice, try to use a patchbay might help you to manage your paths easily. Thanks again and peace!
Yeah now with new gear I need to check out a patchbay
hey, I have a question related to connecting Naim cd player via DIN and output to DIN amplifier. How do you think it will play well?
I was thinking of getting the Analog Heat MK1, It's a bit cheaper. I've read it basically does the samething. Only differents is the screen and modulation graphics
Yes it is the same exact thing.
So in theory to record using this directly into the mpc you’d run the mpc main out into the heat then out of the heat back into the mpc? Figuring out routing is always super tricky to me as a hobby producer
I normally use it more for mastering the beats but if I want to use it to resample sounds through it I need to send the audio back into the Mpc. Use it just as an external effects module. Because the Heat only has one stereo out you have to be clever on how to use it.
Does anyone have a tutorial on how to run the Samples from the Live 2, into the Heat, and then back into the Live?
Hi Marlow.what do you think about heat whit analog rytm mk2?
hello Marlow ... I am undecided on the purchase between anolog heat mk2 or the oto machine boum ... can you give me some advice? thanks friend
Recently I’ve been mapping the envelope to the low EQ and using as a mixbus dynamic EQ. Tell me another analog dynamic EQ cos I can’t think of one
Elektron is deep it takes about a year especially if you get any new gear and there's over bridge sync issues ....(digitone)
I have Analog Heat, and the Digitone and I’ve been fine for a week already understanding it
No offence but any Overbridge sync issues are to do with you and your DAW, not Overbridge
I need to know what you do for your day job. Are you a street pharmacist? Did you sell a kidney? Bitcoin millionaire? 😂😂😂 You've got all the dope gear.
he said he buys and sells gear all the time lol
Probably just has a job... Once you get into your thirties after working hard things kinda fall into place! Just work hard and it will pay off. :)
@@Claidheambmor can 100% verify this is false. 😂😂😂
@@BeatCommission yeah it's all about running up the commas as quickly as humanly possible. Fuck waiting til 30 to get an M
@@ClaidheambmorI get it, live it, and love it.
47, married, no kids, bills paid. Fun buying whatever whenever after putting in the work.
Hey Marlow. Would it be overkill to run the sp404 through the heat? Or would it make sens? Thanks for your advice on that! Salute
I was doing that at first and got some interesting stuff but I realized that it was a bit overkill. Too much saturation and filtering going on. I don't do that anymore but still, you can get some cool stuff out of it.
@@mpchead thanks for sharing your thought on that.
Compra um ART Tube MP Studio V3, trocas a valvula por uma de um radio antigo ou compras online, distorces na mesma os harmonicos, com valula, ganhas muito mais corpo e uma coloração mesmo incrivel =)
That’s a cool option but not the same thing
@@SHA-3qua lets agree to disagree
Would you recommend the heat over using the sp404 for the warmth effect ?
They're way different, the sp 404 as a lot more functionality than the Heat. I prefer the heat to warm up my sound if I am thinking about my mix bus.
Great video. Are you still using the Heat?
Yes I am 👍🏼
Hi Marlow Digs. I follow all your videos and am passionate about your TH-cam channel. My name is Marco and I would kindly need some information regarding the analog heat FX. I tried to contact Elektron but they don't give me an answer. The question is about gain staging.
It is normal that by using the rear analog L/R inputs (therefore without using overbridge) and by putting the analog heat in bypass (after having adjusted the input to the maximum possible volume), I have a signal in the DAW that reaches the maximum around at -23 dbfs? Even if I activate the analog heat and adjust the output with the level knob I can push the maximum around - 23 dbfs before activating the exclamation point on the output meters. Can't I get a stronger signal out?
If I push the signal more the exclamation points above the analog heat meters light up. Is it possible to increase the output signal without cutting anything?
The channel on my apollo x16 is set to +4 dBu and I have no low volume issues with any other external hardware I own to get at least -12 dbfs in my DAW. I just want to know if this is a normal feature of the analog heat fx or I have some problem. Thank you and congratulations for your great work!
Is there any way of hooking up a live or x with usb to the force? So you can controll one or the other
Midi?
@@mpchead ya midi but I was thinking class complient usb and xfering samples and files. Thanks anyway.
This machine is for sure tailored for your beats the grainyness and dirt is you all over. Sadly this is on my to buy when I win the lottery sort of affair I can't justify the price for what I'd use it for.
MISERY LOVES EVERYTHING!!
@@CDeering 😂😂😂 you have found me
Are you upgrading to the FX Marlow?
Not sure yet, my analog heat is actually in repair right now, but I might get the new one, not sure if I need the extra effects. Need to do a bit more research on it. I'm also thinking about getting a new analog eq so I might hold off on it for now.
Quick question, I want one, but have they fixed the gain at all? Thing is soooooo quiet!
How is it quiet?
I had the AH MKII for a while. Sold it because you finish by only using Clean Boost or Saturation, with always the same settings, bypassing filter and LFO... And the color it add become annoying.
Yeah I'm afraid that might happen sometimes but maybe you can pair this with other gear as well. And not just use it for the master out but also other applications. But that's always the real test, time.
Have u considering any 500 series stuff? #500series
yes, I've looked at a few.
RC 20 does this really good too if you don’t wanna spend money and just want to crack a plug-in 🤷🏼♂️
I really wanna invest in one of these tho, great vid man!
Or get a cheap 2nd hand cassette recorder, nothing better to warm up sound than actual tape
@@GeometricPidgeon except for acustica audio tape plugins which use impulse response and volterra kernels to capture the nuances of the analog gear precisely. No need for tape anymore lol
"I really like the EQ it is one of the things I really like"....sounds a bit circular.
im debating this against the joe meek sc2 to warm up beats.. i found the heat a bit thin when i heard my mates
$750!!! get the fuck outta here!!! Love your channel tho! keep up the good work
You still using this?
Yes 100%
