c7sus, with all due respect, I think you forgot to take your med's again.
Sorry, but I missed how any of that was ADK's fault or why it's Larry's responsibility to create jobs in your community. Maybe you could fill us in on that aspect of your rant.
Personally, I really don't like the 500-series dbx stuff I've tried (or the 300-series). If you can get it super cheap, though, why not buy it, try it, and e-bay it if you don't like it?
OK, I was going by memory, but now I've gone back to look. The next sentence reads:
"Most of these are seasoned pros and veterans in recording, broadcast and multimedia."
So, we have: "...[Davisound users] are NOT likey to be inclined to "hang out" on newsgroups...", immediately followed by...
I think the rest of the quote was something to the effect that no pro would ever hang on a recording board. Tell that to George Massenburg or Steve Albini. The bottom line is that I get a very self-important vibe from the stuff he wrote on his website. That's it. I've never gotten that sort...
No, no anger or resentment. He just seems like a bit of a dick.
This was one of the first things that I read on his site (in response to a question of why they hadn't seen any positive comments from Davisound users):
"...the majority of the clients who own, cherish and utilize DaviSound pro...
So, you prefer to base purchase decisions on random chance. Some of us don't and that makes us dumbasses? Well, I guess I can't argue with that.
:rolleyes:
OK, send me $1,000, and I'll custom build something for you that I guarantee nobody has EVER WRITTEN A BAD WORD ABOUT ANYWHERE. But you can't hear it or try it, I won't tell you how I'm going to build it, and if you don't like it, too bad - ALL SALES FINAL!! Deal?
:rolleyes:
What an asshole.
What's the bug up your ass?
And I suppose you had never heard or tried any other model of Gibson or Martin before ordering those, right? Don't you see a little flaw in your logic there?
What the fuck are you on about? People say that they wouldn't drop a significant amount of money on...
So what's your point, dipshit? The end result is that I can return it. Plenty of companies that sell direct have return policies. The bottom line is that if I can't hear it, try it or return it, I'm not going to buy it. And I honestly can't believe that anyone would think that it is an...
Same here. No ability to try them or hear them (especially when combined with a "no returns" policy) guarantees that I won't be picking one up (not that Davisound cares, I'm sure - they seem to hold anyone who posts to webboards in very low regard). I have to say, though, that I'm suprised...
You obviously don't read the ad's in the recording magazines. Dynamic mic's are no good in the modern digital age. Now, cheap large diaphragm condensors are the only mic's worth having. ;)
Why not? What right of BMW's does that violate? Trademark? Copyright? Patent? I don't see it.
Why? Did they steal the VC3Q boards? Do you think every maker of preamps/cars/toasters/whatever has to get the express permission of all of their parts suppliers to incorporate the parts into...
The U87 is very similar to an SM57 in certain respects - not in the way it sounds, but rather in the way that it is a great workhorse and an industry standard. It is rarely the best mic for a job but is almost always pretty good.
The problem is that at it's current price (and I understand the...
