• WARM AUDIO "WA-1B" review by Kenichi Ikeda, professional bassist/producer, is now available!

  

  2024/03/08

  A review of the WARM AUDIO "WA-1B" by Kenichi Ikeda, a bassist, composer, and sound producer who is active in various fields, including his solo project ROOT SOUL and collaborations with various artists, is now available!
  
  "Even though it may be difficult to tell with small speakers, I set it to a strong setting and made it feel like the center of gravity was low, as if it was sticking to the bottom. It's a very analog compressor that I love!" "The levels are very naturally aligned!" "I think the combination of analog hardware and DAW digital is the best in modern times!" (High ratings. )
  
  As with the previous EQP-WA, we were provided with not only sound sources for bass, electric piano, and drums but also a mix of these sources in order to convey the differences between them easily. Please take the time to listen to them with headphones and check out the differences in the degree of compression.

• Review of WARM AUDIO "WA-1B" and "WA-MPX" by studio musician Reigo Kuwahata is now available!

  

  2024/03/06

  A review of WARM AUDIO's "WA-1B" and "WA-MPX" by drummer Reigo Kuwahata, who works at a rehearsal studio in Tokyo and is also a studio musician, is now available!
  The "WA-MPX" has a smooth sound with a finer texture, especially in the midrange... I felt that the overtones were richer and compression was slightly applied, as if tape saturation was literally applied. (High ratings: WA-MPX)
  The compression is not applied harshly, but thinly, so that each piece of music seems to expand. The sound image becomes mellow. （High ratings: WA-1B）
  You can check out the sound on the album "B.B.B." by The Broken Blues Band, to which Reigo Kuwabata belongs.
