How do you supplement your sound with some distinct style? Tell us in the comments about the gear you use to introduce character to your recordings, and be sure to head over to Sweetwater for a detailed look at Golden Age Project’s Pre-73 MKIV preamp 👉 sweetwater.sjv.io/Golden_Age_Project_Pre-73_MKIV

This guy is such a good salesman that i used to think that he's the ceo of sweetwater for many years.

Oh! He's not the CEO?

I've not seen preamps explained so clearly and quickly, thank you!

Normally I don't buy into this type of hype, classic sales pitches.. But this is legit.

I’ll just take one of Mitch’s voice please…🫥

Aye yooooo

I got so much hate for using a preamp with a focusrite on my Instagram, thanks for the backup man

People who hate Focusrite usually don’t know that the company was founded by Rupert Neve. People who hate the Scarlett series usually just hate it because everybody uses it. Since Gen 2, the Focusrite Scarlett series has been a great contender in the budget friendly world of AD/DA conversion and transparent preamps.

Sir, ur the best salesman on the internet, great explanation, and really good work. 😁👍

Excellent example, switching the freqs while talking. Really shows the effect.

Great teaching! Easy to understand.

Great videos always! Easy to understand!

that MKIV really sounds nice! Much better than just the Scarlet on its own.

Fabulous video, well-explained. Thanks!

Golden Age makes great products.

Love when y’all get educational on us

Thanks Mitch!!!

My input interface is a Presonus StudioLive 32SC mixer. I thought about a Scarlet and yes they do sound good but I need a LOT of inputs. I don;t want to be patching and re-patching for all of my keyboards , microphones, etc. I want to be able to fire up my DAW after I've powered up my mixer and keys, and record. I have a low end tube pre-amp running through an ART VLA II compressor going into channels 1 and 2 of my mixer. Got some character there. There rest is just fun stuff!

the explanation of all this was awesome, I only wish i heard a difference in "Character"

Would make a bigger difference if the starting voice were thinner but he already has an amazing voice.

I actually do have a golden age III running into the back of my 8i8! I plug my guitar into it and it sounds great.

I'm currently using plugin preamps by Arturia and they sound similar to the hardware units ❤🙏

THANKS SWEETWATER

This guy is awesome.

Smoothest cat in all of Fort Wayne, IN.

I’d buy a Lennon Mcartney audio interface preamp scarlet. I know they don’t make but but just sounds cool.

It helps to have an amazing voice to begin with

would it be possible to feed the line level output of one interface (such as the scarlett) into the preamp of another interface, and just have very low input gain? I want to try to combine preamp characteristics like this, but I don't know if the extra voltage would cause a problem on a microphone input.

Every time I've used a Scarlett and went into the line-inputs, when you turned the preamp gain knob, it added gain. Why would that happen if it wasn't going through the mic pre also?

How are y’all putting out vids on just what I need, just when I need it.

I've been researching this exact thing the past few days too

lol, clear and accurate is not the same as adding grit or warmth, but this can be done pretty easily in software too.

wow.. the same combination i'm using now.. but I'm using earlier versions of both..😁

Hi,mich how are you and the rest,at sweetwater,was the focus rite supposed to arrive with a flashdrive?

can you please suggest me a cheap alternative of the hardware manley vox box? and can I increase the output of preamp so that I can increase my headphone volume of my headphone without sounding distortion?

Have the Solo and the 2i2 4 gen the Same line in Baypass Funktion ?

What concerns me is audible white noise. Running a dynamic this hot and pushing it down adds saturation, but how much added noise seeps through? One of the many reasons I can’t stand the sm7b, alongside the muddiness.

Hallo , i Need help, i don‘t can find in the manuals of Focusrite the Information Bypass line in , in the Preamp Can someone help ? Thx

Does the preamp’s XLR out need to be converted to 1/4” in order to connect to line in on the interface?

@Blueguitar007

I think so but not certain. The mic plugs are usually mic level on Scarlett as opposed to the 1/4 which can be line or instrument.

i mean, analog effect sims can get the same effect with undo-ability right?

Mitch, talk gear to me ❤😌

The Scarlett 4i4 Gen 4 has two line inputs that bypass the pre amps. The Solo and 2i2 do not.

Hallo, who i can find this infoformation?

does this preamp will work with m4 motu> Please tell me

tbh after this video i bought a pre 73 mk iv

I'll note that pushing preamps gives much more harmonic information and shape the overall waveform significantly. This stacks as the recording comes together. Things like bass, vox, acoustic guitar, overheads, etc are often more saturated than you'd think, but by no means crazy nasty most of the time

Are UAD unison preamps transparent?

Overall neutral sound is best.

Back in the old Lucky Luke days, Mitch would be selling snake oil from the back of a wagon...

I will bet that not one person at Sweetwater can pick out the interface pre from a so-called quality character pre in a blind test.

I need more character...lol

Not sure why anyone would want to color their sound on the way and commit it to "tape" when you can do all the coloring and sound manipulation you want after you record the track/s.

I wish my only problem with audio was that it sounds too clean 😅 Feels like I'm playing a whack a mole game of audio issues everyday.

Mitch seems like a really good guy

Warmth was not the overused word. Actually, it was character preamp. LOL :)

Why not just use a tube or tape emulation plugin? There are plenty of _free_ good ones out there, so why spend money on something you can get free of charge? Also, this gives you more freedom to decide _after_ recording how much saturation you want on any given track. Baking in the coloration on recording limits your options in the mix.

Looks like funeral home director

Sounds like a waste of money. Just learn how to write good songs like back in the old days.
