Are Preamps More Important Than Converters

The waiting to exhale soundtrack that was the one cd I never listened to because of the front cover of the album and I listened to every cd my moms bought I might need to pull that up

Which is seriously more important dac or preamp?

😂😂Devvon wanted to say Preamps but just couldn’t and ended up arguing both ends. Great conversation

Graduation bro!……….come on now…..

I really missed this episode? Ryan Leslie really could’ve been there 😂

The Weeknd is better than Bruno Mars

Bruno mars tho 🙃 :59

My Dark Twisted Fantasy

Regardless of what you think of the man, you can't mention R&B without Kells

Don’t ever have a great songwriter convo and not mention Ashley Gorley

Maaaaaaannnnn. As hard as that waiting to exhale soundtrack is one year prior The Above The Rim Soundtrack set the gold standard for movie soundtracks! lol

Devvon is technically right about that thing with 192kHz and 44.1kHz. But if we leave the theory aside, practically the human ears dont need that amount of frequencies. We actually only would need a recording of 40kHz. But according to the issue of cutting the music from 20kHz to above with a brick wall, sony decided to use a transition flied of 2.050kHz (which will blend the signal until 22.050kHz) and thats why the industry standard is set to 44.1kHz.

Pls correct me if Im wrong

Bruno Mars is cool. But your disrespectful bruh. Prince and Marvin rolling over in they grave. And if Stevie could see you, he would snuff you.

Protools gang

Mad y’all didn’t mention avant- as one of the greatest rnb writers but mentioned Ryan Leslie

Dev you got to get the Avid Carbon if you love the Mbox sound your going to fall in Love with the Carbon, not only the sound but using the DSP drives instead of your computers CPU power shit flow so much smoother in my session you mix a lot of Vocal and your a freaking beast in your mixes you definitely need to bless your self with one it’s ok to treat your self sometimes lol, im gracefully blessed with the Carbon, it’s paired with my Audioscape LA2A and with the new Adam A77H as my monitor set up Lord Jesus is the best money I have invested my mixes are Glorious 😂 do it, I would like to link up one day I wanna send you some of my sessions I’m working on I would like to hear your opinion 🙏

After Hours is the best album since Thriller easy. Too many styles & done too flawlessly

Michael Jackson and Prince Superbowls are NOT debatable😂

Jon Bellion is one of my favorite songwriters today

R KELLY A GOOD WRITER TOO

Prince??? Michael prince beyonce

YOU GUYS PUSH tRUE CULtURE FORWARD!!! LOVE!!!

I think you should follow this up using Something from Behringer, M Box & something from Apogee or UA!

Dolby-Atmos, thanks.

In 10 years we gone look back at Chris browns “ breezy “ album and “ royalty “ .. “ indigo “ … and be mad why we didnt give him his credit

And don’t mention writing music and artistry without saying “ r Kelly “ either

Drake Marvin’s room is just too slept on when talking about “ albums of all time “ , n if y’all don’t know … please go listen to Tone Stith “ Can We Talk “ that’s probably the closest thing to micheal Jackson to me ! N on the songwriter stand point…. Never mention it without saying “ Eric Bellinger “‘

HELLO CAN ANYONE HELP ME OUT HERE , WILL LUV TO BUY DEVVON TEMPLATE BUT NEEDED THE TEMPLATE THAT CONTAINS THE DRUM BUS, INSTRUMENT BUSS ND THE VOCAL BUSS

Y’all ain’t mention the God Particle not once… y’all okay? 💀

Dope song writer I say r Kelly

Adele had a great album run also

Remember.. Johnny Gill was solo before he joined new edition!

Technically focusrite has really good clean preamps and not that good converters.

Tame Impala Currents

Yo, honestly podcast is short for me. I'd listen to you for an hour at least

FELLAS !!! YALL DO KNOW tHAt tHiS iS LEGENDARY RiGHt? KEEP tHESE COMiNG!!!

Michael Jackson’s Dangerous album had one of the best mixes I ever heard back in the day 🔥🔥🔥🔥

So niggas give all the praise and glory to the Culture Vultures like Bruno and Ed Sheeran but got a hard time accepting who NE-YO, THE DREAM, & T-PAIN IS TO THE MUSIC INDUSTRY!!!!!! .........smh

love theseeee

How would you rank Apollo's? I have a solo and use the API pre amp/ channel strip. Mainly because it has a built in gate to help with room and out side noise.

Purple Rain

I'd take a great Converter anyday

Input conversion is really good on most interfaces. It’s the digital to analog converter you have to worry about lacking. To hear everything your doing and have.

I would love see you guys discuss music schools and whether or not it's necessary for upcoming producers/artists/engineers. What did you learn in school and what did you already know going into school. It can be very expensive so I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

Dope as always! Y'all should do one about landr and e-master. Are they legit? Is the AI technology competing with professional mastering engineers?

I think what's always been the gap between cheap audio equipment and expensive ones is the time it takes to achieve your goal and the amount of work you gotta put into it. So I would wanna say that a cheap(but pretty decent) converter can get the job done just as much as a more expensive one. More work may have to get done under the hood to achieve a great sounding record. But because preamps control what's going in, that's highly important. Then again, cheap interfaces with not as good preamps in them are feasible too. lol

Btw Devvon, I saw your video on how you saturate your final mix through your converters. I was wondering, would you do this step before or after applying a plugin such as the God Particle on your mix bus?

Bruno def one of the greatest of all time

If we're solely talking in terms of success and how huge it was for an extended period, Katy Perry's Teenage Dream record is that album, especially if we include the reissue. 8 singles. 6 went number 1 and the other two hit number 2 and number 3. And this was still when digital sales and radio were most of what determined chart positioning, so this was constant and sustained success over that 3 or 4 year period. Katy Perry won't be respected as an influential or innovative artist, but that album deserves all the recognition and credit for the success it achieved.

So what are y’alls favorite converters? Do you think the apollo twin x has a decent one?
