Hmmm..You know, as crazy as this guys sounds I think I may know what he's talking about (yeah Im crazy, SO)
There has been talk for a while from several ME's that adding a Master Fader to your DAW lessens the quality in an audible way. I have heard some actually recommend you NOT add a Master...
"better" sounding is completely relative and is hardly ever the word to accurately describe vintage gear IMO...but you can get closer to an older analogue tube "sound" that everyone's ears and minds have been programmed to hearing without using the extra extra DSP on ur computer. Whether that...
Point taken..We can agree on the MS1-B..decent piece to have in any collection..But still, vtb-1 for the price range, and the customization options for those who know how to do it...still my #1 pick in this price range.
I've praised this pre before and always hear the same thing...it sucks..I think a lot of people's ears hear price tag and not quality..they sure hear the clever marketing these companies stick down ur throat.
Bottom line..It really doesn't get better in the price range the VTB-1 is playing...
100 to 200 on ebay..cool mixer..might have to do more work that u anticipate if the strips are static filled.

From what I'm reading the work was done prior to any new business arrangement, agreed or implied. He has a strong case if he owns the copyright and the publishing was assigned to his SS# or tax id#.
The hard part is to prove actual damage. If you lost sales as a result, or they benefited from...
honestly these are more than ok for a hobbyist..at a professional level they aren't the "Best" you can get..but as someone said in the post..it means nothing if u got a shitty room..esp if ur tryin to mix
That's usually indeginious to each studio, who develops their own system of keeping track of info..You could get one and it made no sense to you...you're better of creating one for yourself.
Some basic items are something like this
Track Name Mic Used Mic Position Date Recorded Scratch...
I definitely understand that..which is why I have an interface with knobs I can touch and program to different parameters instead of using the mouse..you never get the sweet spot when riding faders (IMO) when using a mouse.
