I would love to see a photo of the summing mixer. Even though I couldn't afford it, it's gotta be cool.

I.
So badly..

Awesome. First and foremost: don't be afraid of pushing anything too far (blown out pre-amps, radical EQ, etc.) Avoid the Behringer to submix unless it's a last resort kind of situation. The Ramsa should be just fine (unless like 12 channels are broken..) Quick bullet list of some things that might ...

+1 filter cap.

can you even do +1's on these kinds of things?

I just agree with Carl.

Probably a very simple fix if you're handy with a soldering gun and an electronics parts supplier (Digitech, Mouser, etc.).

Not trying to veer off topic, but, why do you need ribbons ? If you're trying to keep a shitty sounding room out of your mics as much as possible, and track multiple instruments at once, why not opt for some oddball [moving coil] dynamics? Is it the "flavor" of ribbon mics that attracts you? Look ar...

Use cheap condensers and some good EQ. I'd assume most of us don't have the luxury of housing a chamber in ideal conditions. The chamber at the Original Studio G is one of the most toxic spaces on Earth. However, it sounds great. We placed a stereo pair of SDCs that were $100. They do the job just f...

how does the hardware transient designer compare to the software version?

The software doesn't do the hardware any justice. Get this before I have the $500 to spend on it.

Great compressor.

Any opinions on the 1591a?
