Wolff designed the Tonelux EQP5? That is re-assuring. I am automatically skeptical of anything with such a wide range on it's controls. Makes me think 'quantity over quality'. Like some camera lenses for example that have a staggering zoom range but are never terribly sharp. Those EQ's seem to fit t...

Yeah I read that Wiki and the API history already. That is kind of what got me asking. If for example you go to the doepfer site they list every module they have ever made, even ones that are prototypes or are out of production. I guess I have some latent nonconformist tendencies. Buying a 500 serie...

Just a sidebar. Was distracted into checking out the SSL Xrack offerings. As I have an Xdesk (and sadly not the panda). I was wondering if the Xrack version of their EQ would have better performance on their own format. Thinking maybe it was 24v rails like a big boy console. Well after some digging ...

Was looking at the CAPI site the last few days, and they mention a lot of 500 series modules on there beyond the 512, 550a/b etc. I have done a few searches but cannot find a comprehensive list of API modules. such as the various EQ and preamp models that are not in production. Or which may have bee...

i'll vouch for the CAPI BT50s - i have a pair of API 550b and this CAPI (although based on the 550a) is more "tone enhancing" and thicker sounding than the API. Considering selling the API as they are worth lots of money and I find them a little "hard" sounding and maybe not totally my style... Wow...

I've done a few eurorack kits which have similar component density. On end resistors etc. I was about to order the complete kit last night, but now I'm thinking of parsing the BOM for parts I already have. My workbench has an abundance of 1% resistors and common semiconductors. If I can get a good d...

I would have been interested in this when I was on Logic 9. Logic X fixed a lot of the timing bugs that would creep up on you when mingling MIDI and audio workflows. I don't think Luna has any MIDI? It does have 'instruments' according to the email I got from UA this morning, so maybe they have just...

yeah I gathered it was supposed to be Studerish. I've never seen or heard a Studer mixer, though they are supposed to be in high regard. But I'm not sure if that's the EQ or the pre that makes them special. Or just how they look like the Leica of mixers. The CAPI site heavily reminds me of my journe...

Gotta say I'm feeling disappointment about the Chameleon Labs 560. I can get past the ugly knobs (probably by buying some on Tayda) Bu the lack of any low mid frequencies is a head scratcher. Am I the only person who is constantly cutting in that area between 250-600? I think not. Of course I unders...

CAPI, how could I forget about those guys?
Spent the last few years building a bunch of Eurorack kits and DIY stuff, so their kits are totally doable.
I'll have to do at least two!
Might get a few extra DOAs just for fun. Such as adding outputs on things.

Looking to expand my outboard. Going to be picking up some EQ modules for channel inserts. I'm already decided on the SSL 611 and either the RND or API for my main EQs. But I'll need to fill out the next 4 channels as well. Sadly, my resources are limited. So I have to budget on these. Looking at th...

I ended up getting the X desk. Now I am always on the hunt for an Xpanda.

oh thats amazing! I'll have to get my K3U/MH40 out of storage today and check that out. It used to be my favorite SDC for drums. But then one session it started sputtering and making noises. Changed cables, tried a different phantom power supply. Same noise. I never would have thought to try putting...

Couldn't recall my old password. Tried to reset it and it didn't recognize my email accounts. So I made a new account. Calaverasgrande was my nickname 20 years ago. But the girl that gave ti to me had an incomplete understanding of Spanish. i was told later that Calaverasgrandes is more correct. But...

I agonized over the same question and just ended up getting a second Apollo 8 on Ebay. Every other thing out there seems like a step down in quality, or a step up in price. Though the Apollo 8, even the older ones, are not cheap! There are also a lot of affordable options out there that do a decent ...
