Recording with the CP5 Colour Mic Preamp (Video + Stems) July 21, 2016 16:53
The DIYRE team spent a couple days in the studio recently to record new backing music for our how-to videos. We recorded everything with our CP5 Mic Preamps and various Colours so you could hear them at work.
You can download the tracks as hi-res stems via the link below. The only processing on the tracks is the Colours used during tracking. See the session notes below for mic and Colour specifics.
The stems are released under a Creative Commons license, so feel free to use them in your own tracks or remixes.
