  • VERY NICE!!

  • Thanks!

  • It's The old Workhouse console from the now closed Workhouse Studio in London.

    The console is said to have recorded all the early Manfred Mann hits + a lot of other classics from those days.The console has been in MOX studio, Denmark since 1980.

  • Call me nuts, but I really like the sound of the uncompressed snare on its own in that mix. The hypercompressed snare is overmixed and creates an aggressive bed of noise in the song, it robs space and depth from the mix. You call the naked snare 'dead', I call it 'organic.' Some sat and a just kiss of leveling from that gorgeous compressor would round out the body of the drum and, imho, serve the music much better.

  • Beautiful console! Also, this is a nice, concise demonstration.

    The compressor sounds pretty good, too.

  • @gscottsyndicate you're nuts

  • It brings so much bleed through that way.

  • he showed how it works, not how you from now on HAVE TO use it on every song you ever mix, right? If you don't like it, don't use it and if you like it use your ears ...

  • @fnub of course you don't hear it in the overall mix so I'll shut up.

  • The compressed channel brings in a lot of outside shit.

  • GOOD CONCEPT BUT STILL SOUNDs DULL TO ME DUDE!!

  • The purpose of this video is to show one of the functions of the LCA 2B, not to discuss personal views on if it sounds good or not.

  • Tight uncompressed snare sound is much more suitable for the track than the over compressed sound. Clever engineering, but I guess we all have different tastes.

    However, I guess the purpose of this video was to show what's possible and I'd say job well done.
