dare I say it if you are just starting out a mackie board and a good preamp/eq can be something to consider. You can always sell the mackie when you upgrade

Adam

you can get a smaller soundcraft spirit recording 16 for 600-800$ if you search around.
not modular but reliable and clean. will work great with a 8-16 track

Adam

If I were you I would get a console that was made more recently like a soundcraft ghost or spirit or a allen heath gl series
the sytem 8's are old and only have 3 aux's and the 600 will need new caps most likely.

I love my U195 on kick and close room mic on drums
on vocals it has not been so good. I end up using my 414 or C1

Adam

Adam

The focusrite compounder can be found for ok $$ used and it's sounds nice.
has a huge feature that makes kick and bass sound big.
Also the ADR gemini easy rider compressor's are cool
zep/who stlye compression for 200$. they turn up on ebay

Adam

I have 2 7110's non transformer.
I use em on snare and bass and gtr's
they sound great and can produce some real 60's stlye compression

I bought a pair of powered Behringer B2031's from Ams for 300 including shipping http://www.americanmusical.com/st/aspx/i-BEH%20B2031/en/item.htm I got them as a 2nd pair. I have tannoy pbm8's as my main set. The Behringers sound pretty good....highs are not too harsh and they have adjustable high, ...

Noooooooooo
It must not die!

Adam

Hey
these were lexicon's first try at a cheap reverb
they were made cheaply and are getting old now.
if you can find one the lxp15 is much better and has many more parameters

adam

Hey
see if the seller will refund you as it is unusable.
I had mine fixed 2 times by lexicon
and it's cheaper to buy another one then get one fixed
