New COCKpits & GearPics (Page 33 of 38)

i have one of those casiotones, had a lot of fun running it through one of these

and made this track http://soundcloud.com/loren11/casiotone-clip
it would prob be fun to use thru a monotron

I've spent time hearing my gear through a Toft ATB24, and I would definitely take one of those if I could.  But I'm perfectly happy suffering with my hearing my gear recorded through a pair of API pres and then mixed in the box.  I'm just not up for the potential hassle of an older console (or the cost of having one shipped to my location since the only used stuff around here is Mackie/Behringer 95% of the time).

the real question for me unicity is whether that is Rude in a vocoder voice or IFM radio voice telling you this in your head? 

we don't have an amazing mixer (late 80's Ramsa) but the difference (and headroom) between that and the cheap mixers or going direct into the box like we used to do is remarkable.

5U rack #3 has emerged from the depths of Hell

Here are my polysynth & drumstacks

Get your monitors out of the corners, away from the wall a bit and at ear-level.

Corners act as natural bass-resonators. I figure since you put all that extra effort into high-frequency dispersion foam that you may as well have your bass cleaned up a bit.

you guys are right ofc, but I always have a really bad bass sweetspot coz my studio is 3,5 x 3,5 mtrs and even with my former setup (higer and way from the walls I had a 808BD boomspot in my toilet and not in my studio haha

I might set em up a bit higher and they are (maybe not good visible on pics) around 20-30cm from the corners

About the mixers;

I have a Roland M480 rackmixer, 48 inputs and via some great routing options 10 busses, and that one alone is filled with my drums only hehe. I sum my drums into 8 busses from that thing (BD, SD, HCL, TT, HH, CY, Perc1, Perc2) and that works like a charm. Get one if you can find em, great value for the money!

Rude - Scratchy pots/faders aren't the end of the world, but still annoying.  Being a relatively new Dad my music time is rather limited and precious, so cleaning up a 'Grooooik' after the fact is something I'd just rather not deal with if I don't have to.  Trust me, a worthwhile older mixer is very rare around these parts, and having one shipped in would only be worth it if it was a great deal.  The most intriguing thing I've seen in the last little bit is a Fostex 812 for $200, but I'm not into the group outs being on RCAs.

That being said, are there any older mixers would you recommend keeping an eye out for?  I'd like 16 channels and 4 groups if possible.

Septic - I've always loved your space.  That room makes me feel so relaxed.

Mono-poly - Aw yeah.  Looks like that jar needs to be refilled though. 

Hmm I was curious about the Soundcraft 200 series.  Skimmed the manual for the 200b and it does look like a good fit.  Thanks for the tip sneakthief.

Not holding my breath considering Denis' last productions in the last 15 years. Even Denyse was horrified

just add a fizmo and ms  Lepage's transition to transwave synthesis will be complete!

...and maybe a set of monitors to help her decide whether her new productions are ready for release
