This is what I've been saying, technology has gotten so good to where its more convenient and you're not sacrificing too much if you know what to use / how to use it. In terms of shadow hills, the A class version is WAY better than the B. It's also interesting that he goes through the apollo pre, and adds the pre amps after without unison.
I couldn't agree with this comment more. When I was tech/engineer at clear channel radio, you would be surprised at how dwindled and compressed down (tremendous data loss) music was. Yes, class A is king without a doubt. Thank you so much for leaving a thoughtful comment.
With all these $10k + vocal chains it’s so important to give the biggest shoutout to the engineers behind that desk or computer 🥳🥳🎉. Loving this series Archie. Great work 👏👏🫡
Yes! I totally agree. Engineers and producers are so underrated and not acknowledged for pretty much making the sound. Thanks for your thoughts and I appreciate you for supporting the new series 🙏🏾
@@archiebeatz most engineers don't really want to be in the media's too much, like Serban Ghenea is not giving any sort of interview or content on social media but he's still the busiest mixer of this generation ✌️
While at that level every single detail counts, the most important instrument is voice. Artists like SIA, Lady Gaga, Rihanna etc could record on iphone and still have a hit
Dont be naïve, the industry is rigged, bribery, corruption even to the gov level with streaming money. Take the advise by approaching someone to invest like a nfl player etc is your best bet to buy some time up there on one of the rigged platforms, spotify, google, facebook, ig etc etc, making one of your own will never work because they will collude to take it down, it’s a rigged system
Dope series of videos man! Keep ‘em coming! I love the simple setup a lot of these producers use. Check out illangelo, the weekends producer, he goes straight in the apollo as well
Thank bro! I will bro. Yes, simple in many cases is better. Even in the mixing process. Word? I have to check them out man. Thank you for the support bro.
I spend hours and some cases days to research and validate the information. It's out there but it requires a little work to get some of the information.
Money. He got paid to do an interview for Universal Audio. You really believe someone puts a 10.000+ euro microphone into a home studio UA interface? Plain silly.@@jamesr141
Do you still have the Adam S3H Monitors? was wondering because notice it wasn't set up in your studio. was thinking about getting them but haven't got a chance to hear in person yet.
What about the WA-47jr is that a good mic I currently have it and would love a good itb vocal chain i don’t have an Apollo tho currently running ssl interface
Hi bro! greetings from Brazil! Very nice your chanel first of all. You have a new subscriber! So, talking about the subject, very nice all that set but, in the end, will be applied tons of eq, compression and auto tune. So I have my doubts if in the final process we can hear the benefits of all that expensive equipments.
Hi Josias! Thank you so much. Yes, at the end of the vocal mix there is tons of eq, compression and auto added. With that being said if would be impossible for me to go through the different possibilities that they applied on each different song and vocal track. It will vary the amount processing and effects they add on each song. I would love to get my hands on one of his sessions so I can show it and explain to you all. The basic setup and chain is a guide with high quality. Everyone voice will be different in the processing stages. I hope this makes sense. Thank yo so much for your comment brother.
On a c800 that quality still shine through that's why it's 10 grand. Most pop songs are over effected these days. If you know what your doing you can mantain high quality regardless
Post never used his own gear when recording most of his early epic stuff, it was Nicky Kalliongis from Arista Records with a mac, pro tools hardware, logic, avalon, neuman tlm mic, etc…post got uad years later
I highly doubt that he inserts the C800G directly into an UA Apollo Twin. Remember, that was a commercial (o sorry, interview) for UA. Besides that, those two make a weird combo. The microphone choice is one of a perfectionist. The pre / converter is that of a home recording studio?
Great video....check out prism sound gear...I switched from a X6 to a Lyra, and it sounds very clean..Check out J.R.Clark single "Open Season" we used a Manley Ref C - BAE 1073, 1176LN, to prism sound Lyra and had it mastered at The Mastering Palace by Dave Kutch
i wish you would have set them up in your daw and tested them out, showed some settings and how to use each plugin. That would have completed this video! Just some constructive criticism.
I guess the gear heads are gonna go crazy!! I can hear them now. How is this possible😂😂😂. The perception that you need pricey gear to make it hit has been proven wrong over n over again. A lot of intangibles make a song a hit. Thanks for the great info Archie.
Hahahahaha, yeah it's going to get crazy. Expensive gear can sound amazing when you know how to use it but I so agree! You don't need expensive gear to create great music or hits. So many of our favorites songs where creating on an m-box and apogee duet, lol. Thanks for supporting bro.
The most simple but powerful vocal chain I've seen so far. Thank you all for supporting my channel and journey!
do you sell any uad plugin installers?
You should do even old school artist like 2pac, Biggie, Nas, and Jay-Z. Just suggestions because I'm feeling these videos.
Next week bro! lol. We are on a roll over here. Thank you so much for always supporting my channel and supporting the new series bro.
Really love the research you do on these vocal chains and the way you lay it out in your videos Archie. Really well done! Thanks for sharing
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Thank you so much. I'm glad you appreciate it Bill. You are welcome brother.

I'm loving these Vocal Chain video's!
Thank you. We have many more coming 🙏🏾

@@archiebeatz yeah he says it in one of his mix with the masters videos
The Oxford Inflator is a secret weapon of so many producers… and has been on every one of my tracks.
Yes!!! So true. I've started to incorporating it more in my mixes over the past year. Thanks for commenting!
@@archiebeatz thanks a for the great content! It also comes with the Oxford limiter which is so good even without the inflator effect on ;-)
Goes to show. The mic is by far the most important thing in a chain.
That Twin is nice, but does it sound good as the Apogee Symphony?
no
Talkin truth as always Archie.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Thank you all. Outside of amazing products. You all create great articles and information for us creators.
Best series on TH-cam hands down !
Thank you! MANY more are coming.
Your studio is so cool.
Thank you 🙏🏾
is the apollo prea enough? no external neeeded?
Yes, it's definitely enough. It's always great to have additional preamps in your studio for versatility as well. I hope this helps.
You answered my question immediately. Was wondering how you knew this information!! Thanks bro!!!
I spend hours and some cases days to research and validate the information. It's out there but it requires a little work to get some of the information.
I'm loving this series. Original, entertaining, informative, the perfect length... 10/10 content.
Also Post Malone going from the C800G direct into the Apollo Twin lol
@@jamesr141 you don't really believe that do you? Nonsense.
@@soundeducation5554 Why would Louis lie?

I condensed the home studio space down. My partner has them. They are amazing but definitely not for a small space. I hope this helps.
@@archiebeatz copy that! Thanks for the reply
Hi @archiebeatz do they record in the UA console "insert effect" with uad rec or uad mon
Links?
Do they throw the Oxford inflator on the vocal chain on the uad console ? Or in logic after wards ?
What about the WA-47jr is that a good mic I currently have it and would love a good itb vocal chain i don’t have an Apollo tho currently running ssl interface

Dope vid! Maybe use Slate's mic modeller bro instead (to save loot) which is kick ass! Lots of top producers use it.

Louis Bell the 🐐
I’m
Gonna spam you until you do Mac millers vocal chain I’ve been looking so long this made me sub
Also Post Malone's songs have the loudest mastering
Lol. I agree.
Dope video thanks for the info new sub!

Your 100 percent correct
I'm afraid you have put your own level of expertise on display with your answer..

I totally understand. That's a great point. I'm definitely adding this to the to-do in this new series as it develops. Thank you!
✌🏼
Hi bro do you have a video using la 320 mic ?
You ain’t getting NOWHERE near post Malones vocals with uad lol come on bro
👌🏾
Thanks brother
❤❤❤
Thanks Mira :)
Nope!
Yes - now make a video on how to make money lol
10k vocal chain, and then he go for 10k mix/master 😅
Oooo yesss
I guess the gear heads are gonna go crazy!! I can hear them now. How is this possible😂😂😂. The perception that you need pricey gear to make it hit has been proven wrong over n over again. A lot of intangibles make a song a hit. Thanks for the great info Archie.
Still goin to cost to mix and master about $5000
Hahahahaha, yeah it's going to get crazy. Expensive gear can sound amazing when you know how to use it but I so agree! You don't need expensive gear to create great music or hits. So many of our favorites songs where creating on an m-box and apogee duet, lol. Thanks for supporting bro.
hahahahahaha, man. They are still trying to hit people over the head out here, lol.
@@archiebeatz they are hit a robbery out here for a mix and master
@@TrapBoiFuse561 😂😂😂😂😂
I have a Gemini microphone that cost 2k+
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
... this is just silly.. at the end of the day.. it sounds like auto tune lol
first
Thank you for supporting the channel.
you could go with a rode ntk more than those other two. still not gonna be any where near as good as that 10k mic tho lol
