It's here in the shop but there's no stock.... Then again, the little message at the top of the page suggests it's under maintenance or something. Then again, it's not part of thomann's current catalogue so it may have been discontinued :confused:

Really!?!? Cheeky bastards! The clone i've got is true bypass so i've not had that issue but it does seem very underhanded

lol, certainly not derpy question. Much more "n00b trying to get better" kind of questions. However i will say that your first and third question have been asked many times before on this board and the search function is mega handy to find the answers :) 1) See jimmy's response above 2) I'm...

^^^This^^^ As i said, i'm a fan of the sonic maximiser but it's best to use it very sparingly. At first i fell into the trap Farview descirbed about just turning it up and up and listening back to stuff the next day would make my eyes melt and my face implode. Now when i use it i normally set it...

Yeah, i do really like my Avantone CK7 and i've just seen a very, very, very good price on a used CK1 which i feel rude passing up, but there's something about the oktava that draws me in like a moth to a flame.

I've got a sonic maximiser clone my mate made for me for christmas a couple of years back. He messed it up slightly so the pots don't go as far as on the real one but, to me, it's awesome. Like most gear, if you crank to the extremes it it very quickly sounds horrible. If you use it very subtly...

A very good list from Arcaxis. My additions would be; - the older sE2200a (the silver one). - sE X1 - the older Rode NT1 (not the "a" version, the older matt grey one) - Avantone CK6 As arcaxis said; , so it's really worth trying as many as you can to see what suits your needs best. However...

Hey chaps and chappetts, i'm currently looking longingly at an Oktava MKL 2500 but was wondering if anyone has compared it to either a Rode NTK (which i already have and like) or Avantone CV12 (which i've used but don't own)? Or, and this will be a very open question, are there any other LDC...

:laughings: You make reverb units sound like crack :D Although i do completely get your point, although i was the other way around. My mixes always used to be way too dry.... then i found the microverb and my eyes were opened to the awesomeness of reverb. Even then though it's taken me 5 years...

I'm in a very similar boat here; i do most tweaking ITB and then run stuff through outboard if needs be/for a very specific sound (mainly distortions or compression). However, this bit made me a little bit sad; I've got an old Microverb 1 from 1983 (it's a year older than me!) and i love it to...

I'm a huge John Mayer fan although he seems to be much less known this side of the pond. I love the original "Neon" and "My Stupid Mouth" (the one's off of "Inside Wants Out" rather than "Room for Squares"). Great guitarist, great voice, great lyrics, just outstanding IMO :)

Once again i'm late to the party but just wanted to say i've experienced exactly the same thing a couple of times. We had a couple of tracks played on BBC Nottingham introducing. We recorded the show and listening back i was mortified at the sound of the tracks! It was worst still when a track...

Tbh it wasn't until listening to Bruce Swedien clips on the royer website that i really got stuck in and started playing with it some more. Over the past month it's had a lot of use on percussion, backing vocals (works really well to help backing vocals sit behind a lead vocal recorded with an...

^^^steen has a knack of nailing it^^^ The classic album series is pretty awesome, and although it's not that technically focused as steen said, there are still some very interesting bits and it's quite nice hearing things like the vocals to "Smells Like Teen Spirit" solo'd and then bringing the...

Tbf, when stillwells blurb says this, i'd be disappointed if it wasn't super fast; "The Rocket is a character audio compressor, singular in its extraordinary speed, responding in mere microseconds to variations in program level. Being in the order of several thousand times faster than most...

Essentially yes. so, for example, i may run the recorded vocals out of my daw into the isa220, set up EQ and comp or whatever on the isa, then record that back in on a new track and then mute the original track and reset the isa to use it for something else. As steen said; Tbh, it can be a...

D'you know what, i really did. I think part of it was sentimental but, like an SM57, i never found anything it really sucked at. I ended up with mics that did most jobs better but kept the C01 around because you could chuck it at nearly anything in a pinch and it'd come out ok. Plus, there was a...

I use an ISA220 a lot for outboard EQ, compression and de-essing and flippin' love it! I don't use pro-tools (i'm in logic 9) but i either just send channels out of my soundcard, into the line in on the isa, and then back in to a spare line in and re-record the results to a new channel, or make...

+1 on the PSP Vintage Warmer. Great plugin. Camel Crusher is cool and will do everything for subtle to distorted to hell. Otherwise everything else i can think of is mac based i'm afraid :(

It's weird to see so much love for the Samson C01 nowadays. I owned one 10 years ago as my first ever condenser mic and was very happy with it for a long time. I slowly stopped using it as i bought other mics which suited what i was doing better but never wanted to get rid of it as it worked...
