Ah, the man's throne... The girlfriend hates it when I tell her I have to go to the can. There's a reason there is a book of crossword puzzles in there.
 
Hey, I take exception to that

Q...


I also have an Alesis Micro verb, Alesis MEQ-231, Digitech GSP-21 and Digitech DSP-128 in my rack...

The REST of my gear is respectable :)

I have a Microverb 4 and its a ton of fun. :D
 
I actually USED the microverb for ALL (yes I said ALL) of the drum verb for an album I just finished that is going out nationally in September...

All I needed was to liven up the drums a little with a bright verb, and I have to say that it worked very well.

Yo' Velv-eeta King, their are those here who have recorded hi-quality tracks using simple DSP's such as NanoVerb, Zoom RFX's
and such and were able to achieve excellent results.
My 1st dsp, the DSP1000 Pro(:o pro my @ss) could not afford me the same or even decent results after trying for 4 yrs. The unit's effect parameters only allowed adj'ing in .5 increments which voided any kind of fine tuning and it's so-called dual engine processing (chorus,pitch,delay etc Left-'Verb-Right) had mostly produced results that resembled recd'ing a large,metallic shipping container.
My drunken point to all this.............uhhhh what the heck was my point!!??...........

...........some individuals can achieve excellent results from lower end/mid level gear while others, like me,cannot! Peep's like Cuzzin' Brucie Blu' Bear hipped me on the MPX500; a decent unit
affording simpletons like me an easier way to wet my tracks w/o racking my brains out trying to find that rite parameter for the effect I needed on the Beh.
What works for some may not work for others..............

"..........note to Q!!!.Shut the Eff up!!! You're drunk..."

4-get this post! I'll holla' back atcha' later!!!!!!

***BUURRPPP*** 'scooze me***
 
That virtualizer pro, sucks my friend. It is the worst piece of crap I have ever worked with. What do you do with it, in you wonderful pro rack of yours? What did you do with it, transform vocals to robot noises, that is the only intersting thing you can do with that thing!
 
Ahhh..... now I understand how Q got all the Behringer gear in the first place :)

It's obvious he was drunk and playing poker... he lost... and as his punishment he had to take the Behringer stuff and actually INSTALL it in his studio ;P

(I'm just messing with ya man... I think everyone has at least one piece of their gear somewhere... you know... kind of like everyone having that one relative that no one wants to talk about!!) bwahahahaha

Damn, I didn't realize this thread would go to two pages. I found that picture on Ebay someone was selling the rack. This was intended as sarcasm not a show of my equipment. Of course you would have known this if you had visited the Studio Building forum.
 
Yeah... we know Scott... if it were your rack you'd have made sure that it was ALL behringer gear ;P

This thread was about Behringer gear?
 
scottboyher- what kind of settings do you put on your compressors for your overheads on drums???
 
I don't know about you, but my "dream rack" is on Christina Applegate! Oh well, seriously. I'm sure that's a dream rack alright, the kind that makes you wake up with a cold sweat, and you don't sleep for the rest of the night. It's what I call a "rear end" rack, which always sounds like ass. Start with a cheap mic, a cheap instrument, a clueless performer in a bad bedroom, jack them into a really bad cheap pre, and them try to fix it with a sonic maximizer. Oh yeah, that'll work.
My formula- A great musician with great material and a great instrument in a good room with a grat mic into a great preamp, and then, direct to the recorder. No compression, no reverb, no EQ, no Mo' Phatt, and *no* sonic maximizer. The most useful thing about that rack is the rack. Gee, you could put some gear in it if you tossed all that junk.-Richie
 
I dunno, I always use my SPX90 as THE TRASHY SNARE VERB...havent found anything yet that makes that same sound and with just the flick of a button.....that 'other' stuff though....i think i'm alergic to B...B..b.b..ehhrigeershsssst......inger....excuse moi.
 
hahahaha...

Yeah... I tried putting Calomine(tm) lotion on my behringer gear... but like all bad rashes its still there ;P

Have you tried giving your rack some Benadryl or maybe even some penicillin?
 
I hate them too........ Something really freaky about them even though they are suposed to help you..........
