Review - Louder Than Liftoff Silver Bullet Mic Pre and 2-Buss Tone Shaper - Part 1

In this video review for Pro Tools Expert, Technical Editor James Ivey takes a look at the Silver Bullet by Louder Than Liftoff.  In this part 1 of 2, James takes us around the unit, explaining the 4 different modes of operation and uses the Silver Bullet in Tracking and Mic Pre mode to show off the Silver Bullets powerful tone blending capabilities.

The  Silver Bullet is a unique collaboration between Louder Than Liftoff and industry legend drBill, that combines drBill's vintage Tone-Amp design with Louder Than Liftoff's modern design approach and product layout. The Silver Bullet is a one of a kind bit of kit with analogue topology and workflow that is designed for and easily integrated into the modern DAW-based studio. The Silver Bullet was designed to enhance and shape tracks to sound like a record during every phase of audio production from composition to the final mixdown.

The Silver Bullet is part of a new class of hardware designed to help put that analogue "mojo" back into your digital world. The MOJO Amps have captured the vibe of classic American (A)  and British (N) consoles and coupled with a musical set of tone shaping controls they create a Tone-Amp capable of handling all mixing, tracking, and microphone preamp duties. This unit is firmly aimed at the modern hybrid studio where space is at a premium and every piece of kit you have has to earn its place. The Silver Bullet in worthy of a space in every studio. It really does sound that good.
