Why are ppl doubting another engineer skills based off if they use a template?
Every name engineer has a setup their assistant funnel everything to so they can “ mix “. Maybe not a template by definition but def a mapped starting point w/ routing & gain staging already in place.
I do not use one for mixing. Only recording vocals and producing. Mastering sometimes but rarely.

Wow that’s cool! What did they say about their mixes using the template? Yes you open the template and either import session data or import audio. If you have the sample rate correct u can drag & drop files into the tracks in PT. You would then tweak all gain staging, plugins, & automation to taste. When we talked about it, we were getting into things like low end clarity and he thought it was helping. He's a great engineer well before using Vance's template. Awesome! I may sign up to check it out! Thanks

I literally posted a link to Mike Senior multi tracks 300 + all genres and no one even bothers to read or check the link. They are free as well, enjoy!

So if you had the best year yet, was that in terms of Revenue ? sales? Profit? I hope your new launches are successful! You want socials and ATM pin #s as well? I am not a scammer and I don’t not appreciate the underhanded passive aggressive disrespect I have seen your catty responses to fellow forum members & long time Apollo first adopters as myself. Show some professionalism if you are going to represent UAD’s name.

I’ve kinda given up on my room, acoustics and my monitors, and have been almost 100% cans for quite a while. I’ve done treatment, positioning, bought some Sonarworks 3 times, snd had a variety of good monitors. I think our ears/ brain calibrate to anything, if you are consistent? I'm on cans for 95% of my mixing. Sell off all your monitors then sheesh u don’t need them Is that maybe why all your mixes/ examples I have heard have such aggressive compression? And As always your mixes sound great to stellar. Idk maybe that helps everything fighting to cut thru on tiny little transducers not meant for full scale linear bandwidth of the freq spec. I use headphones for tracking. Idk my headphones to me aren’t accurate enough to hear the minor tweaks some revisions entail.

cambridge-mt.com/ms/mtk/Scroll down to browse all categories. Have also seen sites like pure mix and MWTM offer random ones for pay.

So you need an Apollo and computer for this to work? Or is this a real pedal you plug your guitar into, then plug intto a real amp, then record w/ a real mic?

And I thought I was about to get riiiiiiiiich 🤑🤑🤑
All jokes aside, even the lettering on the black band that says Neumann is very very close to correct on the bottom of the mic. P48 is there too.
Will have to see if they accept returns. PayPal purchase w CC the buyer has more protections, but idk the extent w/ an international purchase.
AFAIK, U87/ 87ai are made in Germany. If it was a German factory/ seller this may be different lol.

Do you use Pro Tools? Does VP mixing not float your boat? Has pure mix bombarded you w/ mindless emails? There has to be something for you to feel so enthusiastic re: NO! 😀

Can we also get Chris Lord Algae’s template for every mix?... using only Waves CLA plugs of course! Lol. Yeh always questionable these things. Although Vance Powell is a pretty straight up dude it seems from his interview and things. Maybe it’s true! Questionable? I stated you have to sign up to pure mix dot com. Then u gain access to the 1hr vid & VP PT template. Another person replied that he had peers who use the template. Whether VP used this once or never he still set it up or directed PM too. I thought fellow RGO peers would be interested. No need to question me, i bring positive vibes! 👍😀 Edit: Also re: templates only get so far w/o knowledge... Not sure what you are trying to say here but I am very knowledgeable & don’t need anyone templates to make my clients happy or produce, mix, & master industry quality music w/ in the genres I work in. Again I aimed to provide an interesting thread not start a conspiracy or possibly have my abilities questioned. I come in peace 💚 Please listen to my mix and master of Wiz ( fellow RGO member ) song in my signature called, “ Lay Down W/ Me “ it’s a country folksy type song w/ real instruments. I can do way more than Rap, Pop , Trap, RnB 😀 Have a great day!

I know a few people that have downloaded and used it as a basis for their own mixing. I've never used a template for mixing. Do you open it and import tracks into the empty ones? Wow that’s cool! What did they say about their mixes using the template? Yes you open the template and either import session data or import audio. If you have the sample rate correct u can drag & drop files into the tracks in PT. You would then tweak all gain staging, plugins, & automation to taste.

Let’s also focus on the good while being realistic I’m happy we have great affordable tools like DAWs & plugs. Let’s be happy we are still get paid ( yes, less than the golden era ) to record mix & master when music has been diluted to the nth degree. Wish we had a Union to get the pricing we deserve. W/o a DAW or plugins I would not have/ afford a studio. We are in a service business, & whether we like it or not the customer is “ always right “. There are def exceptions & circumstances to that lol. I get paid upfront, at worse 1/2 then 1/2. For one client, the producers, the manager, & the label was thrilled w/ V2 - V5 but the artist never was. I give my all & always put more work in than what Im paid for per mix/ master so to walk from that signed artist was hard. Artist ended up trying to sue me when I respectfully conceded after V5. Covid ate up most of my regulars. Had to stop dealing w/ another so things have been hit & miss for months. Working on a new website & YT vids & looking at other ways to bring in clients.

Flab filter ....
Yes I hear the same thing if I don’t have enough sample delay buffer. Especially in Ableton Live. It’s not dark per say but it def isn’t transparent. I use it on almost every track 😳 & love it 😊 ( Pro Q2 )

What if Sweetwater / VK/ Pro Audio LA know about these & been buying these ( if not a real U87 ai ) the whole time for resale & this is why new 87 Ai get a bad wrap? Haha that would be crazy 🥴🤣

Never knew the M in M49 stood for marine Dunking electronics in water never seemed to be a good idea to me. I’m sure one of very talented capsule/ mic makers here can give great advice!

Well I can't kiss and tell because I will probably sell it again soon. I don't need more u87's. But , yes, a good deal and it is in very good condition. The capsule is clean and shows that it was well taken care of.
Beautiful mic! Congrats. If you want to sell that unneeded, extra piece well taken care of junk to me for $1300 - $1500 USD shipped let me know Besides, we all know the nickel bodied U’s are more sought after & have higher resale b/c it’s clearly obvious the mic’s color makes it sound better I’d pick nickel if there was a choice & no price diff. W/ the batteries the mic can be used w/o phantom power. Many ppl including Fletcher & Klaus say the mic sounds better w/ the batteries instead of phantom. What do you think? Anyone else used the U87 w/ the batteries? The batteries are Eveready 505s, 22.5V x2. eBay has used for $15 after a quick search.
