Episode show notes:

As producers, deep down, if we're honest with ourselves and I mean completely honest, we'd all love to be using analogue gear, am I right?

Well, your man Martin Zobel used to work exclusively in the box. Using plugins was the only thing he knew. 

 

But Martin had an itch that needed satisfying. He wanted to use analogue gear, but didn't have the thousands of $$$ necessary to get in to this world. 

 

So one day Martin had an idea… "What if I build my own compressor?"

 

The only barrier was in his head. Building your own gear is a daunting task, but he persevered. Following schematics and asking the right people for advice, he soon discovered that it's as easy as painting by numbers. 

 

Jump forward to today and Martin is the man behind Analog Vibes. A platform that gives you everything you need to build your own hardware, at an affordable price. 

 

"Analog Vibes is about enabling and empowerment."  - Martin Zobel

 

Martin talks to Benedikt and Malcom about what models are hot right now, how anybody can safely build their own hardware and how sometimes literal crossed wires can lead to a happy accident. 

 

Also, let it be noted that Benedikt (having never built his own hardware before) has challenged himself to build a hardware unit from scratch in 2024.  Let's hold him to it. 

 

Wave your soldering irons in the air (safely) and let's welcome Martin Zobel.
