Yeah, no problem. We have 6 at home, but I've always wanted more kids!
The M520's preamps and EQs are fine and sweet.
Of course,... I have a house full of gear, but I suck!...
is the real answer or the answer you were looking for???
I have perfectionistic tendencies, but in the real world I let go of my OCD and I've let a LOT of errors get printed to tape and be reviewed in public! I have an orientation for quick and satisfactory results, which precludes being a perfectionist, in most cases.
Dude, yeah,... many of my "classics" were one-off live-to-stereo recordings with heinous mistakes and no retakes, but others were "highly considered studio productions" with dozens and dozens of retakes and scrutiny, which were finished to the best of my ability without perfectionism just killing me cold! If it were for ultimate perfectionism, I'd probably not have ever finished a single recording in my entire "career".
I have a TON of rack and outboard gear, including Tascam M-1B line mixers, MH-40 headphone amps, MX-80 mic preamp/mixers, eh,... just a TON,... eh,... like a Fostex 3180 reverb, Fostex 3070 dual compressor, eh,... A TON I SAY!,... Tascam RS-20 reverb, Tascam GE-20 graphic EQ, Tascam PE-40 parametric EQ, eh,... eh,... A TON I SAID! I have lots of standard cassette decks, most of which are high end Technics decks from the 80's, but also some Sonys and TEACs too.
Dude, I obviously have more gear than I can mentally grasp or describe concisely in one post!!!
And it's over ~25~ years of home recording for me, but who's counting anyway? Damn, I'm getting old!
Yeah,... I'm a guy with a gear obsession and no talent. I basically suck. Is that the answer e'one wants to hear???
PS: my uploads are more than "sound samples", but if they serve that purpose to curious newbies, that's fine. As "sound samples" they do a fine job of contrasting various formats, given that you have to listen to my wretched crooning in the process of determining format differences!
Naw,... I'm just an average guy having fun with music and recording.
Let me not get on the tangent of my 20-or-more guitars, crates full of accessories, etc, etc, etc!!!
Lets also not mention my
thousands of cassettes and hundreds of reel tapes I've accumulated!!
Obsession? What obsession??? Heh.
After all this discussion, my dissertation on my audio history, you surely better have listened to my "sound clip" (above),
or I'll break your damn arm! If not, I'd assume I've become regarded on HRcom as an audio oddity, like Tascam-man at the freak show, or something.
I've regarded all this talk about gear as academic if you don't listen to the music that comes off it.
Enough said.
