Analog EQ: API 550b vs Mackie vs Nady vs plugin

[klauth35]

Yeah, lemmy fill my mouth up with candy and do a line so, not even I can understand what I'm saying!

[recordingreview]

@klauth35 I'm working on this. I'm an audio engineer, not Dan Rather. Speaking in front of a camera is BRAND NEW to me. Sorry for the trouble.

can you please stop swallowing so much? the first couple videos, it was like, alright, he might be sick... but it seems like you have some serious biological disorder or you don't chill out enough to let your mouth salivate normally. whatever it is... please try fixing it, because it is rather annoying, and it distracts the viewer

@namenottaken0 The swallowing is me trying to hold back the coughing. It's caused from exhaustion. If you put a few 95 hour weeks in, use coffee to keep you going, and then start talking in front of a camera you''ll most likely do the same.

[namenottaken0]

@recordingreview Ah I see. Well excuse me for my dryness but it is rather distractful and I think many viewers would appreciate if you at least drank some water to help you out and speed up the process. Also, slowing down or cutting off your consumption of coffee would also probably help with that. I hope you take these suggestions into consideration.

@recordingreview Argh, the swallowing is a Brandon Drury Trademark! You can't lose that!

[MrSubaru122]

I do not believe it. You do it in all your videos. I believe it is a bad habit you have developed from a young age. To be very honest if you are going to speak in public or on a video that is of interest to many people... don't get me wrong I like your videos but you really need to work on that, I found myself paying more attention to your bad swallowing habit than the info you shared in your video. I would say it is like saying umm for you, it has become your filler. Slow the freak down.

and lots of bands use bbe gear

[recordingreview]

@john0222 But not a lot of recording engineers. I always like to say that the Sonic Maximizers take my $2,000 microphones and make them sound like $100 microphones.

[john0222]

bbe products sound good for a lower price i never used proffesional equiptment so i cant compare but the physical unit is alys better than plugin since uits portable i say buy a good mic and preamp and run it through a bbe maxcom and a bbe eq and through a effects box so that would be a live application set up then have a interface at home and a pa for stage use but all that equiptment is like 1500 its a good start

[Jameshoodguitar]

Oh man! Are you going to do part 2 of the Analog eq? I use plugin eq's and I am curious about the differences.

[recordingreview]

@Jameshoodguitar Hey James, yeah this first one we did was fun, but there was more to it that I'd like to explore. I'm thinking about having a RecordingReview contest that says "Who can match this sound EXACTLY with a plugin?" and I'll use my Lil' Freq (which comes in tomorrow!!). My experience shows it's MUCH harder than I originally thought.

What's up Brandon!! It's great to finally be able to put a face on those awesome reviews & emails I get. I've registered 2 years ago. Keep up the great work you've helped me out tremendously! From equipment/ gear reviews to recording techniques you've helped me out, thanks

[recordingreview]

@pitolove71 I'm glad I could help, dude! This whole Recording Review / Killer Home Recording thing is FINALLY starting to come together! The sky is the limit now!

you are a very lonely man. :)
