Just when you thought it was over.....
I promised a few months back that I'd upload a few Folcrom mixes with the Shadow Hills pre's for those interested to check out. I've been slammed with composing projects so am just getting around to it now and have also included other pre's.
This song was originally mixed ITB in PTHD at 44.1K. I've processed all the mixes with the same master bus processing as the ITB mix and tried to match levels as well as possible, however I wouldn't say this is scientific. More so just a way to roughly compare the different mixes and see what differences the different pre's make as compared to each other and the ITB mix (or not).
While not in this order the following pre's were used -
Shadow Hills Mono Gama ( three mixes - Discrete, Steel and Nickel settings)
Brent Averill 1272 (real one, not reissue)
Brent Averill API (new one)
Chandler Germ ( two mixes, one with increased gain, lower feedback)
Chandler TG2
ITB (but of course!)
As the jury's still out for me on how much of an improvement OTB makes, I'd appreciate hearing what other ears have to say regarding improvements (changes) the different combinations make. Of course we'll do this blind for a while so that people are listening with their ears and not their sight or pre conceived notions. Enjoy
