Maybe it just isn't worth buying because it isn't Reaper?

Low blow. But pretty damn funny.

these pieces are like Avalon mic pres are to rappers
Now that is funny!
Where are those $10 an hour SSL rooms???!?!?!??
this really discredits your argument... totally irrelevant and![]()
Maybe I should clarify then. That remark was not intended to actually be some sort of anti Reaper statement, but more of a jab at pipeline's last 2 years of posts that seem to be pretty much much anti everything BUT Reaper.
Where's all this gear? I just searched the Phoenix craigslist for audio gear. Found less than the Portland craigslist. Are you hiding stuff in your basement?Everywhere. If theyre getting 10 bucks an hour even its amazing.
In case you aren't aware of how this works:
1. Kid graduates from the conservatory (note that the majority of students are EXTREMELY well off)
2. After the "internship" hours required for graduation, it becomes painfully obvious to the parents that there are no actual studios to employ their child
3. Parent converts poolroom or cabin to become a studio "this will be great for little Johnny"
4. Parent faces the agonizing decision whether to buy an SSL AWS or a Digidesign Icon, or to "go vintage" and but a 4000 or 9000 series SSL or Neve VRP (much less common)
5. Parent has me wire up and equip the studio
6. After repeated and clear warnings from everyone involved that there is NO market for even well equipped rooms with amatuer engineers at those amazing rates they show in the Studio School ads, they decide to price themselves into the market somehow. The majority ends up doing a bunch of free projects for publicity's sake
7. Parent finally gives up and decides to send little Johnny to law and medical school.
8. Parent calls me to see who will buy the gear they need to get rid of
9. Rinse, lather, repeat
Bitter party of one.....What a sad life...Everywhere. If theyre getting 10 bucks an hour even its amazing.

there are more than a few studios in this neck of the woods that simply wouldn't stay afloat if it wasn't for the parent or the wife's income.
Too bad. You are wrong. Sorry, I approach this from the mindset of a person who assembles and wires these rooms up. There are only a few guys in town who wire up ELCO's andTT patchbays. I'm one of them. Your ignorance of the local market doesnt affect my point.
i bet there are some 19 year olds with basement studios in their parents' houses with cracked copies of waves ssl, or maybe even legit duende minis billing themselves as ssl rooms that you could get into for $10/hr.
I just got a distressor and man that adds the fatness and brings everthing up front. This was the best purchase this year!www.sterlingsoundstudios.comIf you were to have only one hardware Compressor, which one would it be? The Distressor, the 1176 or some other compressor? Why?
I need opinions so I can decide for myself on my next compressor purchase.
Thanks![]()
