$1700 or trade for:

Daking FETIII Stereo Comp
API2500
1178
a good/great stereo comp of similar value...

I'm open to cash/trade combos in either direction... my amp plus cash for your more valuable comp, and vice vera... so a Drawmer 1968 would also be considered...

A friend of mine has one that is in need or repair... he might be willing to let it go cheap. I'll find out. it would be minimum 1k in working order... it's a 3wave music in NJ right now, and the refurb bill was going to be around 800-1k. he wasn't sure if he wanted to go for it, but you might be ab...

Get a tech to cal it. The Azimuth is out. You can end up with phase issues with incorrectly adjusted Azimuth.

I like that it is such a wizard-ly word. Azimuth.

sidechaining stuff is fun.

i prefer hardware gates. they sound better and seem to 'hear' better. setting a plugin gate is such a pain in the ass. they are always chattering, false openings, etc... hardware gates seem to be much better in that regard...

All of the mastering engineers that I trust for my mixes have the ears, chops and humility to make a record I deliver sound right. They may have to dig way into it, or they may decide that a flat transfer with minimal gain is appropriate... They aren't out to prove something or use all their toys, t...

the thing you don't understand is that the price of the console doesn't even include all the cocaine inside the fader buckets. that's extra.

hmm... dunno... i've always found them to be the best of the cheap speakers. thay aren't anything like our westlakes, but they sound good.

come say hi at the bunker!

go eat pizza at DiFara in Midwood.

there are many great studios in the greater ny area, and many shitty ones (some of which appear great at first)...

meet the people, listen to stuff they've done.

don't just go where it's cheapest. go where it sounds best, and the people are good.

nice first post. high five.

Hey y'all... we're hitting the road this weekend. Daniel Schlett, indie rock ninja from BK is coming with us doing real time audio deconstruction and dubs. Live dubstep, jungle, glitch, etc.... all live instruments... PLUS you can hang with me and Daniel and talk about mics and compressors and stuff...

Allan Tucker at http://tuckersound.com/ is an amazing engineer and I've heard some re-master/restoration projects that he has done that have really turned out incredibly well.

That's where I'd start...
