The 737 is not a horrible piece of gear... it is a lackluster preamp combined with a really good EQ, and mediocre compressor. Better results may have been achieved with better gear. Like a more colorful preamp, a faster compressor, more modern converters, etc. But at the end of the day, Snoop will sound like Snoop through whatever you put in front of him.. |
Wrong, wrong, wrong. Snoop Dogg is one of the hardest vocalists to mix there is. I've recorded between
600-800 songs with him, and nobody knows his voice better than me. His voice almost always sounds like shit, because people don't know how to mix him. He'll tell you that himself.
So like I said, SOMEONE please put up some better mixes that you've done with other pres.
So many experts here, but ain't none of y'all making real records.
Tony you forgot to mention along with the artist the skill level of the engineer. That means a whole lot. That's basically the point I'm making.
I'll pick a 1073 over the 737 every single time, but the 737 can yield stellar results in the hands of a really good engineer. So will any other piece of gear.
