Ha Ha! Yes, but they do look cool.
I can remember sending off for a brochure about the 2600 in 1972, from F W O Bauch, I was earning £20 a week, and the synth was 2k! It would be 4 years before I bought my VCS3

If monitor control is an issue, can I just say I bought an Audient Nero and before I’d installed it, found an almost new iD44 at CEX or Cash Converters or somewhere like that at a healthy discount. It has a good chunk of the monitor control facilities I bought the Nero for, if not all the headphone ...

Yes, MOTU have a good reputation and I had a good run with their 828 (many years ago) and their 10pre before moving over to the Apollo. But for Tony, maybe the 16R - 16 line inputs off the MixWizard as well as ADAT, or perhaps the 848, with 8 dedicated line inputs, 4 preamps and ADAT. https://motu ...

I’ve completely gone off the idea of Behringer remakes, they no longer fascinate me or represent benefits of any type, I’m completely de-Behringerising my studio. Apart from the B2600? Got to say, the B Model D got me the basics of the Moog sound in a very small package - I know, not the same exp ...

Just a thought, the UMC1820 has an ADAT input, if 8 channels is enough any thought to trying an ADAT interface into the 1820 to see if that's any better? Good idea, the only thing with that is that I don’t need 16 channels in total, ultimately. I know you’re saying use the expander as my main mic pr ...

I like him, I wasn’t sure for awhile, as he seemed to come across as very nerdy, and a bit too into the tech for my liking, but this video has proved me wrong, I love his studio, lots of books, and some interesting personal insights. I have met him a couple of times, but never got the chance to s ...

Yes, it hasn’t escaped my new broom, today it’s come under scrutiny, do I need to keep it, really. I was playing around with my Novation A-Station yesterday, which I’ve had for many many years, it’s great, and I was using it with a Zoom CDR70, it was very surprising how close I could get to reprodu ...

Neither can I.

Since the MixWiz has a direct out and insert on every mono channel plus 4 subs and 6 auxes you might consider going for an interface with line level I/O only. Lots of ways to configure it! Good idea! SSL? Dave, it is an unknown quantity, as, they’ve either changed their tack, or if it does have t ...

Trying to make bespoke "fitted" studio furniture with slots for this and that, I can’t think of anything more disastrous here, it would only take a few days before it was covered in stuff squashed onto shelves, pointless.
Things are always being moved here, as stuff comes and goes.

Thanks Hugh, James, I get it, could be an option, or the Big Six, but that’s a complete unknown quantity. Somehow I always assumed the Big Six had ADAT? Seems not (couple MIDI DINs wouldn't hurt either!) Dave. The Big Six has no home here, it’s not going to be worth it in terms of a sound quality im ...

Thanks Hugh, James, I get it, could be an option, or the Big Six, but that’s a complete unknown quantity.

So how does this work with the Digiface? is it just converters?

I’d rather steer clear of RME altogether, after my experience with a UCX. No one can persuade me, I'll be on edge all the time using it, my ears didn’t like it. UAD? maybe, don’t want to get an SSL mixer, I like my A&H. Still thinking about a Prism, only because a friend has one, and raves about it, ...

OK folks, what interface then? no budget limit. Must have good mic amps, and at least 6 analogue inputs, and like my Behringer have an easily accessible direct/computer mix knob. I’ve tried RME, didn’t like the sound, too hard, clinical. My short list is Prism, UAD, Lynx, I’ve thought about SSL and F ...

Desk? A flat surface that supports stuff.
No amount of fancy design is important, at all, fancy is expensive and totally unnecessary.
I have two desks, each one is about 7 ft by 2.5 ft, they are catering tables bought from Nisbets the kitchen suppliers, total cost £120. They support stuff.

Yes, Kontakt is convoluted and unintuitive under the covers, but it has some fabulous 'ready to go' material, which requires no effort to understand it in any detail. Figuring out how to load a preset is hardly difficult. The main thing is that, love it or hate it, there are oodles of options out ...

I need more impulses, where do you get them? I've downloaded a whole host of free ones from various places. I'd start with the Voxengo ones https://www.voxengo.com/impulses/ Then maybe the Bricasti M7 https://samplicity.com/bricasti-m7-impulse-response-files/ And maybe some Lexicon 480 https ...

I decided to use a mic input on my A&H MixWiz 14-4-2, I repeated the same exercise, no discernible noise on either mic, same settings, same levels, mic into A&H, unity gain, routed to a mono sub out into the line input of the 1820, I wasn’t expecting it to be so quiet, no issues at all. I'd say t ...

Thanks, will do.

Very interesting last couple of days, I needed to record some spoken word quietly, I wanted a "black background" or as near as. This was not possible using my Behringer 1820 well, not without some sort of processing, like gating, or EQ. My standards aren’t as high as some, you all know that, but e ...

James, I’ve been playing with ReaVerb, a couple of impulses suddenly appeared in the presets for some reason.
They sound amazing, perfect for what I need, but they are fiddly to edit, with few regular names for parameters.
I need more impulses, where do you get them?

Doing a mic test yesterday using one track, and noticed that the Track level didn’t correspond to what was on the Master output meter, I was averaging around -18dB on the track, but the Master Buss meters were averaging around -12dB there are no plug-in’s anywhere.
I haven’t noticed this before.

Just like tha Blues singers had nicknames as part of there moniker, could be cool,
