I have an Otari 5050BII2 quarter inch 2 track for sale, it runs at 7 1/2 and 15 ips. It is in perfect condition, it works, looks and sounds great. I use a Studer A810 here at my studio and happen to use 15 ips with the CCIR eq at least 90% of the time over the 30ips setting although i thought...

Anyone know if this mic pre (Symetrix sx202) is good for anything? It is the older grey version rather than the newer blue version. I am buying Syteks and a UA 2-610 and wanted to know if keeping this pre for any reason made sense? Thanks magnet

Are the Presonus Bluetube stereo mic pre's good for anything? Does upgrading the tube help? I'm buying some syteks and the Universal Audio 2-610 and want to know if i should sell the Bluetube or if anyone has found it particulary good on anything? Please advise magnet

So i have a few overhead options. What would you choose? The drummer is an excellent player rock/jazz style, Not a very heavy hitter with a fair amount of ride cymbal usage, it's a vintage 60's slingerland kit perfectly tuned etc. My mic choices: sm-81's (been using these mostly) Akg 414's Adk...

I didn't like the berringer for drums or Bass when the bass player was in the room with the drummer. I got some presonus boxes and they are much better sounding, not as flexable but better quality sound. I will be selling 2 of the berringer 4800 units very soon. They have been used 3 times...

I was wondering what you guys thought about how much better the Presonus digimax is over the Mackie Vlz pro mic pres? Thanks in advance for your contribution magnet

So i am going to get some mic pres. I have been using my 32 input mackie vlz pro but just did a 50 track mix and the cumlitive effect of all those mackie pres got a bit smeared in the midrange. I am looking at a rack of 8 channels such as the True precision 8, Presonus m80, presonus digimax...

Thanks for your input Dot. I have a broken HHB Fatman, is the compressor similar or the same as the fatman or on a higher level? by the way anyone know why my fatman just started to smell like components burning everytime i turn it on? It won't pass signal any longer as well. any help on either...

i might be able to get an original TL Audio c1 for approx. $500 . What do you think? Is the mic pre good? is the compressor good? Can the compressor be used in mastering situations? Please advise with all feelings. I am more interested in a Great River or API mic pre but maybe i'll just buy it...

Come on guys i really need your help here with your experiece with a TL Audio Original C1 Stereo mic pre/ compressor. I would also love to hear what Fletcher has to say on this unit. Thanks magnet

Does anyone know if the Old School Audio box can handle the ADM mic pres as well? They are similar to Api. Magnet

I'd love to know more about the Old School mic pres, they look really hip. Did Fletcher review these as well? The Api 4 channel is looking very good. Thanks for all the insight magnet
