I really don't care WHAT you are building, you want to make your own API or Neve or Mackie whatever, that is not my concern. I have no need for any more API, genuine or not...I have access to lots of Chandler gear (and 8 channels of API, if you care)
i'm sorry man -- trying to sell some preamps of ours so that we can get this record out. doesn't mean you need to be hostile, just because you are trying to protect your investment. i heard the capi stuff has pushed a lot of api preamps into buy/sell/trades. also, if you're interested... try switching out your api operational amplifier with a gar2520 or a sl red dot (or a vintage api op amp)... it will really improve the tone of your api channel imo (plus it should just pop out like a lego)... will take out the harsh mid forward thing that api preamps have to my ears that the vintage channels don't have.
we just recorded drums with a vp26 on snare, a vp312 as a mono overhead mic, vp312 on low tom, vp26 on undersnare -- we recently used a chandler tg1 channel as well that we put on floor tom. cranked up the second low boost on it at 100 and put a high pass at 30hz. great preamp and eq -- love the chandler stuff. anyways, i think we're cool with our 4 channels of classic API as we do have access to other preamps, so trying to sell some to fund our record.
The problem is, you have no concept or respect of the (exceptionally loose, reasonable, and easy to follow) TOMB BST Rules, and when called out on it you won't drop it and spam somewhere else. You want to raise money for your band's record, if that is your official agenda...start a Kickstarter campaign, play some shows... Don't operate your business out of TOMB. Easy enough.
a kickstarter is a cool idea -- our drummer isn't so into the idea (hence the we we were using before), but i've been saying it would be something cool to do. we'd really like to do vinyl, pr, etc... and then if we can make any money back from it, release some of our friends' bands in these los angeles lands who are rad.
People asked for photos probably because they assumed you to be both a scammer and a spammer, I'm sorry if you took it as genuine interest.
And uh, thanks for the highly professional PM you sent me, definitely adds to your creditability. You can be sure I'll pass it on to anyone that expresses interest in your wares.
feel free to forward our correspondence -- as long as you include your hostile remarks, i think people will think it was funny. sorry if you took offense to the famous art work. the only thing i'd take back was the implication that you were famous and a piece of art
i think both myself and this forum could do with a look at ancient scriptures... in the sutras -- you are given dharma when you think about your fellow human being rather than being hostile to her/him. jesus said to love your neighbor as yourself. let's replace neighbor with board member and try following the teachings of jesus and buddha here. love your fellow board member as yourself
I may be hostile.
It is only because I can smell spam a mile away.
It is my shark chum.
Don't feed the sharks...
maybe from being a newbie here -- i still don't get how this is spam. maybe as your shark belly is extra hungry to attack, rather than attacking spam -- you are attacking another human being and another board member. our drummer and i are selling some channels that we don't need so that we can get our new record out. this is buy/sell/trade... maybe this section of the forum should be renamed? maybe we should spend more time recording and making art instead of trolling the buy sell trade forums to be hostile to our neighbors?
anyhow, sending y'all love. hope you are getting some good work and recordings done.
