avalon 737 need clips

Avalon

Ya, I Run the "Blue" Bluebird through the Avalon 737. Sounds GREAT! It's mostly the Avalon that adds that final push. I put anything through that baby and it's PRO! I'd say get an Avalon. Worth every dime. It's the only preamp I'll use...

Also if you go to any major studio, and look at Mix Magazine, they got the Avalon. It's it...

Here is a couple R&B Type Joints I recorded using the Avalon/Dragonfly.

'What You Mean' By Gab Gacha (My Favorite MC & Brother) Featuring Merrari


'Down And Out' By Sin City

I heard the tracks. It's that Avalon vocal! Nice and crisp. Nice lows. Classic Tube warmth. And the Dragonfly Mic doesn't hurt...

On the Avalon, I like the setting like this:

Preamp Gain: 0 (or lower if your mic has high gain)

Threshold: (-23) (Half way between 0 and -30. The more thresh you add, the more compressed and dirty the vocals sound)

Compression: 4 (don't add to much, you can always add more compression on mixdown. You can always add compression, but you can't take it away.

Attak: F (I like a fast attak on rap vocals, slower on singing. You need to adjust your thresh on vocals with a lot of dynamics to tell when the compressor should hit)

Rel: Half way is good

Bass: -8 (This also depends on your mic, some mics have more bass response than others)

Mid low:0

high mid: 3

treble: -9

The settings are different from mic to mic. For cheaper mics you might have to add more highs. For top of the line you might have to roll of some highs. It all depends. Just use your ears I always say. Don't always look at settings.
