The song was fire. The saturation test was fantastic. I laughed. I cried. It was better than Cats. Congrats on your build. You've got the DIY bug now and there's no cure.
Haha. Thanks so much! Most of my mini songs are on all the streaming platforms already. I think there are 18 mini songs there now. All in different genres. One day I’ll perhaps do a full album with full songs. Thanks again!
This thing sounds fat and solid! The bass and guitar were fantastic, your mini songs are always awesome! :D Thank you for another fantastic video! Cheers!
Nice LOTR ref there talking about the chassis options. :D And killer funky tune! Also that's awesome tone. I dig the gain on 5 or 6 'on your voice, very rich and warm but still clear. cheers
Woo hoo! Of all the builds I’ve done, this one was the easiest in terms of how much I had to solder (it has the least amount of parts), but it had the least beginner friendly instructions. What I mean by that is DIYRE tells you “solder the legs in, let cool, then snip the legs off as close to the solder joint as possible” Hairball says, “this part goes there”. Haha. But luckily, Mike is awesome and can help you with any questions you may have!
That’s what I was thinking! Hairball went about it differently, but achieved a result so close that people who can’t afford a proper 1073 have a great option! Thanks for your comment!
@@TheRecordist The best thing about an actual bit of hardware is the tolerances in the parts means each 500 unit will have slight differences. The software is OK but everything is exactly the same. BTW have you tried the Warm Audio Tone Beast? Its really good on VO.
That tune is FIRE as the kids say. I have a pair of these that I bought used (and already built) for $800. They absolutely do the saturation thing and I noticed when you drive them how the waveform almost looks like it's clipping. I really like them for vocals, drum room mics, acoustic guitar and bass DI. Just depends on the tune. Great review as usual.
I always enjoy your videos. Beautifully shot and sound fantastic! Do you add much EQ to your voice in post? The sound you have from this room sounds really good! And that's not even using your booth!
Hey thanks! No, I do not do anything to my audio when I’m reviewing an audio product that I’m using while I’m talking. So that’s pure unprocessed audio. The only thing I do is add a limiter in case I get too loud. The room is just full of moving blankets. Haha. Thanks so much for your awesome observations!
$295? That's crazy. I get free hairballs from my cat. Okay, sorry, I'm an idiot. I don't have use for this in my simple chain (mic-Motu M6- computer) right now, but great to know about the Copper. And thanks, because my wife and I had a blast dancing the funky chicken to your splendid music composition!
Hey Daniel! Hahaha. Thanks so much for the compliment! I really liked how Saturation Fascination turned out. That tune was in my head as soon as I heard the Copper after I built it (I built it in November). So it was nice to get it out of my head and into my ears! That MOTU M6 is a nice interface. I’ve heard great things! Cheers!
Hey there. Thanks! And no. This is a preamp that you can feed into your interface. It bypasses the often cheap preamps that most interfaces have. And also allows you to get that awesome authentic 70s Neve color.
You bring light, knowledge and laughter to my day as an adult. One love, man. One love
Hahahaha. Beautifully said, my friend! Thanks!

Hahahaha. Thanks, Mark! And yes. I LOVE DIY! It’s so empowering!
Great review - and your songs get better and better every week!!!!
Hey thanks so much! That one popped in my head the first time I tested my build! Haha. I appreciate the kind words!
Oooooh that was nice ! Great mini song. It'd be fun to see it put against the DIYRE 73 500-module
Hey thanks so much! And I fully agree!
Oh man, you’re kill’n me! I just finished building a DIYRE 73P.
As always, loved the review and the mini song 😊
Ooh. How do you like the 73P? I still haven’t gotten my hands on one!
@@TheRecordist So far, so good. I'm using it with my MiniK67x and it's delicious. Did a TY demo on it
You should release album man, its too good
Haha. Thanks so much! Most of my mini songs are on all the streaming platforms already. I think there are 18 mini songs there now. All in different genres.
One day I’ll perhaps do a full album with full songs. Thanks again!
@@TheRecordist till then I'ma go jam to the mini songs. It will also remind me of which gear to get 💯
@ much appreciated! I’m called The Recordist on any streaming service. Cheers, man!
This thing sounds fat and solid! The bass and guitar were fantastic, your mini songs are always awesome! :D
Thank you for another fantastic video! Cheers!
Hey thanks, Dan! Much appreciated! And yeah, that bass sounded friggin fantastic direct into the Copper. That growl. So cool!
Nice LOTR ref there talking about the chassis options. :D
And killer funky tune! Also that's awesome tone. I dig the gain on 5 or 6 'on your voice, very rich and warm but still clear.
cheers
Hahaha. I love when people recognize my Easter eggs!
Thanks very much! I really love the Copper!
Wow, sounds sweet!! Maybe this will be my first build 😊 great review as always!

@ oh that’s great to know 🙏🙏🙏
@@pluginhoarder cheers! And if you do go for it, let me know what you think or if you get stuck at all.
I've got a proper 1073 but that sounds pretty damn close!

Ahh good old moving blankets. Which microphone are you using in this video? It’s definitely one of my favourite sounding mics so far.
@@mumflaps9133 that’s the Roswell Pro Audio Mini K87. Super rounded tone. Really clear and thick. It’s a lot of mic for a little guy.
Wow! It kicks my TLM 102 into touch. It really compliments your vocal tone.

So hold on…….can this be used instead of an off the shelf audio interface? Excellent song by the way.
