Indeed, I guess no reason not to at that price.Gregg Juke wrote:Glorified "rack filler," I suppose ks.
Two reasons (well, three really). 1) I'm replacing anything I might (even remotely) need that we have in the studio that isn't mine (I'm in a co-op studio situation where almost all of the gear is mine; just collecting the few pieces that aren't for an eventual move to entirely my own space, dig?) I've got a handful of dat masters myself; if a client ever needs a transfer or re-master from dat, it would be good to have one available. 2) I was only going to get one, but the price was so unbelievable, I got a nice rack piece for the studio, and the portable one as a back-up/option for live remote recording (also got a bunch of tape with purchase, and the dat is a nice adjunct to my little memory card-based digi-recorder). 3) The price itself was just ridiculous ($10 each). Couldn't pass that up on what had once been $1200-$2000 machines.

Had pretty much stopped recording four years ago when my daughter was born and I could no longer justify having my band making noise in the basement. The whole time I kept trying to figure out a space I could use to record and was thinking about getting a laptop setup or whatever, but then the computer started pissing me off and then it dawned on me. Why not record in our hourly rehearsal space. So I bought a state of the art circa 2006 Korg D3200 hard disk recorder. I actually got mics up and was recording in under a half hour and got some usable results. I forgot how nice it is to use a hardware box that has limitations and isn't so open ended.
I think I just started a new band ...
My Musicman HD130 is too valuable, and too heavy, to carry around and I don't wanna leave it at the practice space/garage, so I went and bought:
Ampeg PF-500
I paid too much (US $280 used with tax) but I wanted it for this upcoming weekend jam, and now the guys in the store will love me and give me breaks on everything I buy for ever after.

Bassist in my band just got one. It's nice. I was really impressed when he used it rehearsal. We play LOUD. Normally we use a '70 SVT, so I was scoffing at the idea of even practicing with that thing, but it works well.vvv wrote:I think I just started a new band ...

About a year and a half ago I got a UA Apollo Quad for my home rig. I've really enjoyed that box. It really streamlined my set up at home. I have been using the plugs a lot. I have most of the plugs that are closest to the hardware we have at the studio plus some other things that I probably couldn't touch like the awesome EMT 250 and the Fairchild collection.
UA lets you authorize your plugs on 2 boxes so I got a Satellite Quad for the studio before the end of the year.
I have to say that the registration, instal and importing of my existing licensed plugs was probably the easiest thing I've ever done with a computer related gadget. UA is a mighty solid company in my book.

Those things are great. I was in a band with someone until recently who had one on his pedal board, but with the music we were doing he almost never used it. I'm always tempted to make an offer - I'd love to have one even just to use during mixing.mrclean wrote:Loving the Strymon El Capistan that showed up for me this holiday season...
PS hey from nearby! I'm in Upper Darby, just a few miles down the road. Always nice to meet other folks in the area, especially those as gearnerdy as I am.

I have one and really like it on bass amp, and vocals, also.Trick Fall wrote:Just picked up an EV RE 320. I've only gotten to just test it out with my voice, but it seems pretty cool. I really needed a mic for bass and am hoping this will do the trick.
I understand that it differs from the RE20 in not having a transformer.
While I've not used an RE20 in ages, I suspect that the 320 might respond a little quicker, sound a touch more neutral.
It is certainly so in comparison to my SM7B, PV520i, and various EV and Senn LDD's, etc.
