I get it off my two symetrix528 chanels. I need more chanels, no comp, no
EQ, just good mic pres.
Every shootouts i could heard on the internet, i always liked API and neve
(or BAE nevelike, even portico, witch is really not built like a classic
neve).
But i also did'nt really like other high end gear, like GreatRiver, manley,
jonh hardy ! And, i pointed some strange things : i found joemeek MQ3
smoking every other gear on bass DI, in thelisteningsession website.in the
same site, i found MCI strips standing very well.
I've done session in a studio with neve (AB module, don't remember),
telefunken V71 and studer 169 pres. I could'nt tell witch is witch and my
favorites, because it was poorly engineered, mixed ITB in protools, and
everythink sounded dull and really crap. so much for bigboy stuffs !! we are
not bigboy i'm afraid...
So the question is :
- go Mackie Onyx and wait until you have enough money for API stuff ?
- go a little more (FMR, GT the brick, DAV...) ?
thanks,
(how is it possible there's only a few poeple who realized that mixing ITB
is much better and easyer in Paris than in other DAW ????!!!! are we
nuts, or are we lucky ?)
