    Old vs. New Vintage30

    Hi guys... I´m about to build my first 1x12! :) I decided to go with the V30s, but some people told me that the older ones were better... New ones are made in China... Any comments? Should I look for a used one or just buy a new one?

    Why most guitar amps don´t use parametric eq?

    Well, that´s basically it... Why guitar players don´t ask for that feature on their amps?! I know that you can use an external eq, but that´s no the point (I guess)... Any comments, experience? :)

    Control Surface for plugins...

    Hi guys... I´m trying to organize my sessions, and I believe it´s time to grab a control surface to stop mixing with my mouse... One thing I would really like to do is being able to change parameters in the plugins that I use! Turning knobs with the mouse it´s just a PITA... I was wondering if...

    Is Seventh Circle HighEnd?

    I know that *HighEnd* is just a label, but I guess it´s time for me to spend some money on equipment to keep learning and having fun... I know that if I buy an 3124+ it will be a lifetime purchase... I mean, it´s hard to find a reason to sell your API gear; but right now I don´t have that kind...

    Why cars sounds SO good?!

    Why cars sound SO good?! Lately i´d been thinking about this... Almost any car sounds as good (or even better) than most mid-level (home) studios... But what´s the deal with it? Cars don´t use any material designed to absorb bass frequencies, it´s a very small place and still you can hear the...

    Why the lunchbox hype?

    API 500-6B Lunchbox $425 API 512 Mic Pre/DI x4 $2700 Thats $3125 for 4 channels of API´s pres vs. API 3124+ at $2400 (or even 2 API A2D at 3400 bucks)... Ok, with the lunchbox you still have 2 spare spaces; but I can´t see why some many people are into this 500´s series...

    How to set up a large console?

    I´m not asking because i want to buy one, but I´d been in several studios with large SSL consoles (+48 channels) and a DAW and I don´t know how they use them togheter... They all mix OTB, so I´m guessing they send every channel from the console to the DAW and them send them back to the desk to...
