Some of you may be familiar with Warm Audio, makers of numerous preamps and microphones based on classic designs. Many people have asked me about them and I've heard good things but never had a chance to try any of them (apart from a 47 Junior which I purchased for a recent project). Anyway, Vinny recently purchased a Warm Audio WA412 which is based on an API 3124 preamp, a pair of Warm Audio WA14s, based on an AKG C 414 and a pair of Warm Audio WA84s, based on the Neumann KM 84. I recently brought an API 3124+, AKG C 414 EB P48 and Neumann KM 84 to Vinny's place for a little shootout. For anyone interested, the files can be downloaded at the following link:

It's a Pro Tools session with 2 tracks: a Source A and a Source B. The first 5 clips are a shootout of the preamps. The first 3 clips are a KM 84 on acoustic guitar, arch top and snare split through both preamps. The third and fourth clips are an AKG C 414 split through both preamps on vocals. Clips 5, 6 and 7 are a shootout of the 414 mics on two vocals and electric guitar through an amp. The last two clips are the 84s on acoustic guitar and snare. Of course, this is not an exhaustive shootout, only a decent illustration of their characteristics for the sake of at least some comparison. At the end of the week, I'll identify the preamps and mics. Slau -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Pro Tools Accessibility" group.
