Yeah, it's a good one. I've been using a '69 (same compressor but has pres, a DI and only BIG only works in stereo) for for over 20 years.

Are they still made in UK?

I couldn't tell you. I'm sure a dealer could.

Lovely remembrance, Tony. I only had the chance to meet and talk with Mark a few times, but knew instantly what a kind and generous person he was.

Yeah, he just oooozed kindness.

It is with a heavy heart that I inform the community that Mark Rubel passed away yesterday in his home in Nashville. Mark wasn't much of a forums guy, but he was deeply committed to making music, making records, and teaching recording and engineering. Mark spent most of his life in Champaign Illinoi...

I think Electro Harmonix made something like that. Maybe called 12ay7. Joel Hamilton was into it for a while I think. You might be able to search and find it.

Drawmer 1968 mk2 looks interesting….cheers

I got a good deal on a Brand new Neve DPX for £1197 per channel $3034 for Two Neve Pre amps and EQ Leaves me extra money for more hardware or another mic. So just need to check out those compressors suggested to compliment it. I figured I can also add another Bus EQ down the line…. What compressors...

I'd look for listings to see if anyone else is in the same boat, to give you an idea of what they're going for. If you're not the handy type, I'd suggest selling them as is/ for parts. You'd probably spend more on a tech than you'd be able to sell them for. But, there are probably folks out there wh...

There is a tape calibration article in one of the early years of the magazine. It's a basic 'how to' of setting levels and bias. I don't remember if it gets into azimuth and such. Understanding the actual real estate of a multitrack machine is important. You have to plan certain things in advance so...

I often use my console pres for everything, save for vocals. But I've actually used my Great River MP2 a bunch lately on guitars and it's sounding great. It's one of the old white faced model that Dan Kenedy said became too expensive to continue producing. There is a 2 channel and a 4 channel on Rev...

FYI Sweetwater has a demo for $200 less than regular price.

It looks like a pretty cool piece.

Two years today. I still miss Chris very much,

I don't like micing the bell of saxophones, because it's often a pointy sound. I like an LDC or ribbon miced from the player's right side where it's getting the sounds coming from the places air escapes from open pads and the off axis bell sound.

If you can either make an offer, or go a little over you $2K limit there is a Great River MP4 on Reverb. https://reverb.com/item/73012975-great-river-electronics-mp-4-microphone-preamp-4-channel-rare-awesome That's the original GR, not the 'Neveish' model they currently sell. I have the 2 channel ve...
