I think you should do both, but I'm definitely a YouTube fan. You just need to learn the YouTube game to reach your audience. But if you do, the potential to reach new interested people is helped by the YouTube algorithm. Good luck!

Thanks for your comments and detailed observations. And yes the hardware still has a bit of an edge sometimes but the plugins are coming very close and are much more convenient for the reasons that you mentioned. And yes I agree, they're all very usable ;). PS: I really like the Klanghelm MJUC...

In the other plugin versus hardware tests I did I noticed that the plugins and hardware controls often required different settings to get to a similar sound. So they sounded vastly different when using the same settings, but they could be made to sound much more similar when adjusting the...

Thanks for listening! On the bass it is not actually speaker buzz but rather the compressor creating this buzz mostly by having such a short release. And the test was to hear the difference in how they create this buzz. And yes, the UAD seems to create it more obviously. And yes, it’s definitely...

I do hear some coloration on my 1176 hardware as well, but that is part of the 1176 vibe and I like it :-) !

Hi @CoolCat yes the video is completed. This forum doesn't like it when you post links to your own videos though so that is why I didn't include it in the post. The link to my YouTube channel is in the signature (only visible on desktop), or else you can search for "Lanewood Studios" on YouTube...

I recently compared my Warm Audio 1176 clone against a couple of plugin emulations of the original hardware and made a video about it on my YouTube channel. What are your experiences when comparing this well known compressor hardware against software based emulations these days ? Clear...

I've just posted a little follow-up to my original SpectraLayers One video, comparing the results of the vocal separation to RX8 music rebalance. What do you think ? Regards, Maarten

Yes I have room treatment as well, and then the Sonarworks software just gets me a little closer to flat. I don't really want to do without it anymore. It does give that extra bit to me and makes for a more enjoyable listening/mixing experience. I hardly ever use it with headphones, but all the...

I've been using Sonarworks Reference 4 for years now and have found it very useful. I recently installed the trial of SoundID Reference (the successor) and put up a video on my YouTube channel about my experiences and comparing it to Reference 4: SoundID reference from Sonarworks, is it better...

I recently did a video on my YouTube channel on how I approach mastering in my DAW in a home studio environment. Check it out if you are interested. Link to my channel is in the signature.

Yes I did have a look at maybe getting an M1 laptop for video production on the road e.g. But as for desktop I wanted to use my UAD and RME PCIe cards again. So M1 was not an option there.

Just posted the 3rd and final installment of my DAW build 2021 adventure :-). If you have any additional tips about (re-installing) Cubase with all plugins I'd sure like to know for next time around!

Ha ha, and that’s not even the big one DH15…

Just posted a follow-up video of the PC build on my YouTube channel. Check it out if you're interested! Regards, Maarten

That’s pretty much the way I went in the video except going with an I9, because I also want to use it for video editing.

Yes I can fully understand that. I just like doing it and it also allows re-use of parts (like power supply and case). Although in the build that I’m showing in the video I build it from scratch this time.

What are your experiences with building a DAW PC in 2021 ? Any tips ? Regards, Maarten

Thanks for that. So far, the majority over here seems to be more cautious with low cuts. Quite interesting how this differs from some other forums where I’ve asked the same question. I guess we all have our own way to achieve what we want in a mix. Many ways to Rome .... 😉.

This being an audio forum, I think people might be interested and have opinions on this.
