On this pic you can see ADK's new cheapo line of ribbons, same as the offerings from nady, thomann etc. Notice the eye for detail that goes into these beautys.
No, it's not photoshop. Future collectors item?
I’m was about to buy an Alesis HD24 when I discovered that it ins and outputs have +4dB and is not switchable to -10dB.
My recording console, a Soundtracs Topaz Project 8, has the direct out and tape returns rated at -10dB.
How much problem would I have to get a hot enough signal on “tape” ...
Ok, I've got a Soundtracs Topaz Project 8 console. I'm planning to buy a Mackie SDR24 HD Recorder, which only operates at +4dB so here's the question:
What level (+4 or -10) does the Sountracs Topaz have on its direct outs, busses out and its channel/bus inserts ??
I haven't had my console...
I need to fin out where I can buy Dunlop Jazz picks.
They're not on the dunlop website, and maybe they're discontinued ?
I'm NOT looking for the Nylon Jazz or the Stubby Jazz. I'm looking for a pick that's called Dunlop Jazz plain and simple (1.5mm thick)... looks sort of like the Nylon Jazz...
I'm pretty sure Alan Hyatt said that the Promeek stuff was forbidden to use both the name promeek (too similar to joemeek) and the green color.
What do you guys think about this little unit at sale in Europe ?

And, more importantly...
Ok, I'm gonna need 2 more stereocompressors before I'm satisfied. I don't want anything I already got, cause I like the different sounds that compressors do have.
Here's what I do NOT want you to recommend, based on that I either got it or don't want it:
Focusrite Silver
Joemeek
RNC
Art Pro...
The Art Pro VLA, the big tube/opto compressor that's 2 rack spaces in height, with VU-meters and +4dB operation level.
Has anyone got it ? What do you think of it ? I know the tubes are only at the output gain stage, but hey, you can crank that knob too, right ?
I'm not interested in opinions...
Soundtracs Topaz question
I bought a used Soundtracs Topaz Project 8. Now, the soundcraft website doesn't allow download of .pdf on equipment not in production. They refer to local dealers who can order a user manual which I have to pay for.
I don't need a manual to operate the console, but I...
Will it be a rack version ? Say yes. The shitty sizes that every company favors is the main reason I've turned my back on the VTB-1 and the RNP. I've gotten allergic to the 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 size rack units, and all shit that supposed to be on the table.
I don't care how great they are, I want them...
When I read about kick mics at this forum, everyone (more or less anyway) keeps the discussion within the AKG D-112, Shure Beta 52 and the Audio-Technica ATM25. I wanna hear some thoughts and opinions from those of you who have used the other kick mics out there.
I list all the ones I can think...
Just out of curiosity, I'm starting a similar thread to the one in the microphone forum.
I wonder how many rack units of recording gear everyone has.
1/2, 1/3, 1U, 2U etc all counts as one. It's the number, not the size.
Also, it would be interesting if you have the time to specify them...
Im considering buying the TL Audio 5001 and replace the tubes in three of it's channels to get 4 mono channels of different tube sound. Questions is:
1. Is it hard to change the tubes ? Tubes should be replaced now and then so I guess it shouldn't be.
2. Can anyone recommend any tube brands...
Hi, didn't know where else to post this. I bought a new (used) desk yesterday and on channel 4 the signal suddenly drops in level and gets distorted.... if I press the "flip" button (which flips the A and B channels, it's a inline desk) back and forth at twice the speed of light, it goes...
