Wassuuuup. It depends where I’m working. If I’m at home, I just run directly through my UAD because I don’t have any pres yet but I’m looking at getting some API pres or BAE or Neve. Those are my favorites to use when I’m in studios that have them. The UAD pres are fire though and I do toss them on sometimes for juice.
