Love the fact that you always use audio examples along with talking rather than just 'talk and chalk'. Wonderful teaching.

Thank you David for being the first to review this. Had my eye on this unit it'll be my next purchase that will live on my master Buss. You had me at "mid side"

This video is SERIOUS(ly addictive !) !! You just made a great statement for this product and we can feel the serious about this brand. This stereo EQ is fully loaded with very useful features and sounds amazing. I can say your productions are top notch too. Thank you so much for sharing great vibes and excellent level of testing bench.

Thanks for another great video, David. I can't wait to hear the Mimas!!! :)

I just got one of these and it sounds great. The digital control is an absolute game changer for me because I have a hybrid set up. Seriously considering selling my Stam hardware and getting all wesaudio for my 2 bus needs.

Great review David. Just ordered one and a Dione.

Wow I'm thinking that the Hyperion's got to be about the worlds most comprehensive EQ.. I know Neve has an 8803eq that is 1u and has software presets that toggle, but there's some really next level features here between the hardware and software.. wow nice going Wes Audio, and cool Review! I think the future of hardware should always include USB link to software.. so awesome!

great video as always

Thank you for the review, I'm considering buying the hyperion. If you had to choose btw the wesaudio dione, the bettermaker C502V and tegeler creme, what would you choose for mixbuss?

Wow... looks just like an analogue Pro Q2... think I'll just go get one!

i want to purchase an anolog eq and comp. i consider the hyperion but i´m not sure about the clean sound in comparison to Xfilter and some qualitiy software eqs like Acoustica Audio Ivory3 or Fabfilter Pro-Q2. Would love to see a short level matched comparison from you as you own these tools to see if these really bring some (clean) analog meat which plugins can´t deliver, especially when boosting the mids. love your channel!

Thank you for the amazing video! This question may be dumb. Can you use All wes audio hardware with total recall on multiple tracks at the same time? That's definitely not possible I guess. Would like to hear from you.

He tryna hide how happy he is lol. A new rack piece is deffly something to be stoked about.

So looks like you need a Titan soon huh lol. I'm really interested in this eq, thanks for the review! What up with the Mimas?

Hi David, thank you for this wonderful review... would you but this Eq before or after the wess audio Dione on the 2 bus

Sure

I received the unit today and i have a problem: if i go in M/S mode and want to push the lows in the Mid channel it pulls the lows down! If i do it in Stereo Mode it pushes the lows but the singnal shifts to the left if i go higher in frequency, i am doing something wrong for sure but what?

Great gear, and unlike the SSL and another more budget manufacturer (that is great for the money), it doesn’t have switch and pot noise… and HUGE headroom, which was a workflow limiting problem for me before- especially in 24/32 bit and DSD.

It has rotary controllers, audio doesn't even PASS thru them. Switches are used in mastering gear for recall, here you have digital recall, which beats switches by a mile. 500 series has the same headroom than any rack, but doesn't affect SR/BR at all. The only gear with "huge" headroom it's 120v rail gear, like my PQ.

I sooo freaking agree! We spent the $ for the Wes gear and sold a bunch of other stuff. Had to be so careful not to hit the wrong switches on the SSL’s. The knobs were only audible if we moved them during soft parts. Switches like always, but only a few of them. But sucked having to worry about that. The 40 year old rep from SSL couldn’t hear it. Not surprised! Half the people over 30 in our industry abused the fk out of their ears for years. Sad.

@@sandramuncelli7976 - Yes, it’s a shame how many can’t hear well thanks to clubs, events and bad mixing environments. Similarly, many of the people engineering the gear have lost too much to know they are missing basic design flaws. Some things get caught by others, some doesn’t. I do a lot, especially philharmonic and historically important material on DSD256+ and found I can mix a lot longer without as much fatigue as PCM. It really surprised me. But it requires using the appropriate mic, room and production techniques to take full advantage. In contrast I sat in on a session with a wonderful musician and producer who has mixed shrill at 90-95dB for years on NS and says he’s “proud” he can’t hear anything over 11K.

Hi David, was there a Mimas review?

What would be the main difference in between this one and the Prometheus model? Help me out, which one should l buy? What’s your take/decision if it would be to chose one…? Thank you.

@mixbustv

3 жыл бұрын

Prometheus is a solid state Pultec, Hyperion is a full parametric, so it depends what you need/want

It looks as tho the interface between the software and hardware isn't that accurate and doesn't respond fully with the physical knobs. Am I right about that? Seems to cause the software to jump around and not move smoothly as it should?

Hyperion is a full parametric, extremely transparent, you can't do what you do with the MAAG or the Symph (even more colored)

Hey David! Wondering if you can clear something up for me about the Wes Audio Titan + Calypso ad/da module. And sorry if this might get lengthy. I already own and use the calypso which I love for being able to connect my analog gear into daw sessions. My dilema is now I either want to house the calypso in a Titan chassis to utilize the ng500 connections inside the chassis to go through the 10-space connection to pass the audio from the other 8 slots into my daw but not sure whether that would be summed audio of 1 or up to all 8 slots or whether that provides an isolated channel for each slot. The documentation I found online seems a little vague. That, or I’m just a bit too dim to comprehend the full parameters of all the specs. Probably. Anyway, I’d also like to know what kind of latency it presents when using that internal signal processing in and out of the DAW; or, if it’s bad, I was thinking that maybe I should leave my calypso where I have it now to handle my outboard gear and buy instead the Cranborne R8 and then just connect any Wes Audio ng500 modules I might house in it to a usb hub for digital control and recall and take advantage of the summing mixer/no latency analog monitoring on the Cranborne.

@mixbustv

Titan will give you independent channels for each module, but I hve no idea about the latency because it also depends on your computer. But also, no matter what you use you will have latency because it your adda round trip (which you will compensate in your daw)

It doesn't work that way :D you don't clip a random piece of gear (especially one that doens't have tube or transformers or is not designed to be clipped), it's not a converter, it doesn't have anything that would make clipping it sound anything but bad, that's why you have a number for headroom in the manual
