Just a note: The SSL EQs Echorec has for sale are from my console (they work great and so do the supplies). If a tapeop'er wins the auction, I'll assist you in getting them up and running.

Good luck.

Ah, shoot.

I'll take your 660. Do you have the manual?

PM'd too.

I tension my own ribbon. You'll need to practice a bit (on a dummy frame). But, once you get use to the material, you can "feel" when it's right. I use a jeweler's loop to help with the alignment. Ribbons are complex machines - I've built two decent "art-pieces" and spent a bit of time drooling over...

I do a lot of this. It's easy to track ADR/VO if an editor is going to deal with it later. Your client shouldn't have to bring THAT MUCH gear - a daily and a laptop (press play and do the part). The rate cut thing is questionable. I always have my powerbook with me - even in super-equipped post hous...

m50 offers?

It's going on ebay in about an hour.

Did I mention Iit comes with three 8-channel snakes?


thanks!

Like distortion on vocals, I track with the effects in place. It's such a part of the performance that I would not want to screw an otherwise soulful take (I've made the wrong choice a few times). For example: A 58 with a impedance adapter - pluged directly into a stomp box - will have a distinctly ...

13 month old here. Any commercial material I do at a studio during my "business hours". As far as the home-studio goes, my rules are: 1) a supportive or participatory spouse 2) Don't take yourself too seriously 3) KEEP THE GEAR MONEY SEPARATE FROM THE BILLS MONEY! and 4) Be honest about your purchas...

It really depends on the year it was made and the size of the knob.

$70-$80 is an average price for these lovely pedals. If you put it up on eBay, you're sure to cause a bidding war that could double that as long as it works and is cosmetically respectable.

The 2016 is definitely my next purchase. I got to demo one during a radio VO session a couple months ago and it's just gorgeous! Of course, I didn't have a use for it on the project but it was a pretty inspiring piece of gear. I would need to use one on an ambient-heavy composition before I could co...

Run the track back out to the amp and re-mic/re-track it once you have a mic'd sound you dig.

Fader length does not have an impact on the sound - I personally don't like the long faders on 512/20 because the Alps faders used aren't "silky" smooth faders like a P&G Fader and it's kind of hard to get a consistent fade. The shorter faders on the m50 are easier to manage. Don't get me wrong, tho...

I could be wrong but, what I remember is: The 512 has 100mm faders, 2 more aux sends (4 total) and both have an external power supply to make room for the added aux amps and faders. The bussing and I/O remained the same through the M-5xx's history. I've never taken apart a 512 or 520 so I don't know...
