you make a good case. :roll: You want details? All right. Pre-Zep: drums sounded like drums, and were mixed together with the other instruments. Post-Zep: everyone gets a hard-on over "how huge the drums sound, dude". And if you like drums that sound like cannons and are mixed loud enough to suppla...

Yeah, I said it. And I'm right. "Lead drums".

This thread is gonna be awesome.

Like, "enough gain for a ribbon" headroom/noise?

I haven't settled on an app yet.

The 8-channel has been on my radar for some time now. Those are supposed to have good pres and AD/DA, right?

buzzaudioguy - how do you like the FirePod pres? I'm a little leery of them being too "prosumer" to cut a record with, but I'm interested to hear your take on them.

Yeah, the "preventive measures/tools/peace of mind" list is long and distinguished already. I'm referring more to devices to get audio into a laptop, pres that are rugged enough to take travel well and still sound good, etc.

If you were assembling a rig for the purpose of recording bands on location (churchs, practice spaces, grain silos, whatever), what would you throw in the rack(s)? I'm talking I/O, pres (if not included in the I/O unit(s)), external A/D-D/A if necessary, other outboard, etc. What I'm not talking is ...

I have two 440 transports in great shape, as well as a box full of miscellaneous parts - spare motors, rollers, headstacks, the works. Sorry - no record electronics.

Buy as much or as little as you want. PM me for details.

Tony [drumsound] can vouch for me if you're nervous about online shopping.

You have PM.

Does it also have the classic EH abbreviated lifespan?

Adam -

Will you absolutely not ship, even if someone were to send you money for that purpose?

Ampeg is the benchmark. V4Bs are about 100W; I recommend at least 200W though. One loud drummer will ruin everything.

Other good ones to watch for: Trace Elliot V Series (V4, V6, V8), Mesa/Boogie Buster, Sunn, Fender Dual Showman, the new Traynor tube amps, etc...

Yes.

I was "serenaded" with a verse and chorus of "Stayin' Alive" by a friend of mine, in full falsetto glory. I need to preserve this.

Can I rig something out of the headset jack into an interface of some sort?

Anyone had to do this before?
