Was it the sonic character of the revox you didnt like? Too lo-fi? Or just that it didnt add anything special to your recording (but hiss!)? Just asking coz we all have different views on sound coloration. For info i have made a whole album on a tascam cassette recorder, a few years ago. And i...

Hi guys, first of all, happy new year! After years of mixing in the box i thought it would be nice to equip my modest homestudio with some analog hardware. Nothing too expensive since i just can't afford high end gear, everything i buy have to be 400/500euros maximum (second hand price) and most...

Thanks! For info, what is usually the range of a brand new mid-priced drum kit (not second hand)?

Friend of a friend...i never met the guy haha. And i appreciate getting feedback from people all around this crazy world on this kind of forums and have a chat...oh nerdy me ;-)

Ok, thanks for the correction. If it brings latency then it doesnt sound very workable....in your case it was both playing and recording tracks, on 2 apps, right? Do you think "only" recording via one app would bring latency too?

First of all i'm not a drummer, not really, i own a small place where i have all my musical gear and some friend of a friend left a whole drum set (mapex v series) here 5 years ago ...so basically i've been playing a bit of drums these past years, mainly goofing around, occasionally recording...

Thanks! Another poster told me it puts too much strain on the mac cpu -because it has to manage 2 devices at once- can you confirm that? Or do you have a more positive experience?

ah ok thanks, i see...too much strain on the CPU. so it might not be a good idea after all... Did anyone else try it and have the same problems?

What do you mean by "has some overhead"? Sorry, english is not my 1st language. You mean it's expensive? Why would it be?

thanks for your reply! ok so everything should work fine haha. As for the 2nd SSL2 it's just that i could get it real real cheap (around 100/140euros). But yes i'm still hesitating and I understand your point of view! But this aggregate stuff is intriguing, i'd really like to know how it works...

As i mentionned in another thread i'm looking to upgrade my audio interface from 2 inputs to 4 inputs. I own a SSL2 right now and i'm probably gonna buy a SSL12 sometime soon....here's the silly question : i own a macbook air m1 and use garageband, the SSL2 is "plug and play", never had any...

Well, 8 tracks would obviously be better but i'm not too sure i need it right now. I quite enjoy minimalist mik'ing : 1 mono overhead, 1 kick and 1 snare, i like the immediacy of it. And there's still 1 track left for a little extra depending on the song (floor tom or beneath the snare, or room...

I've been using an SSL2 audio interface for the past year, i really like it a lot but i feel a bit restrained when recording the drums. 4 xlr mic inputs would be a better choice for me. So i thought i could resell the SSL2 and upgrade! Since i was satisfied with the SSL2, i assume i should get...

Interesring replies...thanks. of course just like a fender and a marshall amp wont have the same sound, one should just look for something that suits them and achieve the sound they're after. In my case i'm not looking for a perfect replica of this or that piece of old vintage gear. It's just...

Well of course when i say "warmth" i mean the distinctive sound of analog, call it the way you want, if there's a better word, good. I'm not saying it's better or worse than digital, just down to preference. Generally speaking my taste is more lo-fi than hi-fi. I like the grain of 70s italian...
