Re: rotating speaker alternative

Found an image of the Mark II version: Califone-stereo.jpg Awesome!!! It's not hard to find single rotor leslie baffles pulled from old home organs. They're basically a styrofoam version of your Mark 2 turntable leslie. I had one for a while and it did an ok job. There's no horn but you get some of...

Re: rotating speaker alternative

Those old Califones were beasts! I used to run a high school AV department back in the '70s and we had a bunch of those Califones as well as Wollensac cassette machines...not particularly hi-fi stuff but capable of surviving a thermonuclear explosion! As I recall the old Leslies, which every roadie...

Obviously the first version did something interesting to make you make V2. So what was the sound like, in general and compared to a Leslie?

Re: amps vs. simulators

Rush did their last few tours with only IEMs and amp sims. The only thing on stage was the band, a few drums, and the chicken rotisseries. it sounded great when I saw them (and that was several years ago). Didn't Alex Lifeson still use amps? I thought it was just Geddy's side with the rotisserie or...

Re: rotating speaker alternative

I have no doubt that it would work. I think the biggest issue would be mechanical noise from the motor doing the spinning. It would sound different from an actual Leslie because the mic would spin around, point into the room, and then back to the source. It still might be cool, but I doubt it will s...

Re: amps vs. simulators

I traded for an entier UAD account last year and several amps came with that. A couple of times I took a guitar DI along with micing an amp I literally forgot by the time I was mixing to try them... :P I generally prefer a bass DI anymore, and on something earlier this year, there was a bass solo, a...

Re: delivery resolutions for digital

I deliver 24bit/88.2k / .wav to More Space Echo and mention to him if I know the artist's plan for streaming only or physical medium. Then he delivers what works for that.

Re: Happy Black Friday! Did you get anything?

Do you enjoy the API Vision Channel Strip? I found myself using the waves API EQ's a lot, and didn't want to give WAVES money, so decided to go the UA route instead. I like the Vision strip a lot. I had the legacy and upgraded to the new version to have the 560 as an option. I think the EQs both so...

Re: Happy Black Friday! Did you get anything?

I also picked up a couple more UAD plugins (since this is one of the best times of the year to do so). I got the API Vision channel strip and the Culture Vulture (I fall for hardware emulations of hardware I would never buy in real life...). Do you enjoy the API Vision Channel Strip? I found myself...

I can see that. I've always wanted one of the Deep Mind synths. I love pads and drones.
Check out their new Prophet clone. Sounds pretty darn good for pads!
Yeah, that thing sounds bitchin'!!!
I will!

Re: Holy Fak i've been waiting six years for this!!

It feels like the synth department actually gets to make good shit at Behringer. Too bad everything else is just meh. I have heard something like the synth department is a personal project for Uli and it’s just subsidized by all the cheap mixers and PA gear; and the investment in heavily automated ...

Re: Reco me some loud cans

In ear monitors might be the best solution. I have Westones that have foam tips that are just like my foam earplugs. They come in different sizes for different ears and once you find the one each person likes, the foam parts can be replaced as the get worn out.

The poor man's Sontec!
How close are they?
We aren't using them in a mastering situation but for full on surgical 5 band parametric they are hard to beat!
Good to know
