API 3124 vs Neve 1073: Which Snare Drum Preamp Wins?

Описание: Api or Neve: which one sound better when paired with your snare drum? And does that change in a full drum mix or with different snare wire tension?

Today we'll do a deep dive comparison of these preamps on the top side of a snare drum with different drum wire tensions.

Preamps used in this video:
API 3124+ (similar to the newer API 3124V or the API 512c)
BAE Audio 1028 Neve Clone (similar to a Neve 1084 model, but with more EQ points)

Absolutely no EQ or compressors were used here - you'll hear the raw audio.
