Lexicon MX400 - thoughts?

Are there any Lexicon MX400 users out there? If so - how do you find it? for the first time I'm 'noticing' it - and it looks like a really great unit - classic Lexicon reverbs, SPDIF, dual channel, surround mode - and - incredibly good second hand prices. Is this perhaps a "hidden gem" in ...

Re: Does the Quad 520F hold up these says?

Firstly apologies for the typo - should have been "...these days". Thanks for not making me look foolish :-) !! Secondly, thanks a million for the very informative answers - and to Hugh for the expert guidance on wiring - if memory serves when I connected them up in the 90s I think this is...

Does the Quad 520F hold up these says?

I have a pair of Dynaudio BM6's which I rarely use but actually I think are a very fine speaker indeed, and when I use them I power them via a Quad 520f. I'm thinking of using the BM6's more, and wonder if using the Quad 520f does them justice - whether it holds up these days and it not whether anyo...

Re: Any recommendations on books about "mixing"?

Ok this is embarrassing. I'm officially getting old! I looked (carefully) at my bookshelf - and - sitting there was: a copy of Mike Senior's "Mixing Secrets". Sittin' there - likely for 3-4 years - unread, unopened - and I'm only now remembering buying it! It's like I just found a fresh £3...

Any recommendations on books about "mixing"?

Wondering if there are any recommendations on excellent books on "mixing"? I'm looking for one book - a bit like Bob Katz book on Mastering - that covers the subject comprehensively and that is widely respected.

Thank!
Kevin.

Re: Logic Pro X 10.5 is out!

And - a pity they are not supporting Ableton Push or Push 2 - though Novation must be delighted !! They may well add further support for other devices now the big release is out in future smaller updates. Overall - an amazing "package" - under the hood - if only they sort that friggin MID...

Re: Logic Pro X 10.5 is out!

I'm afraid to ask but here goes - is the MIDI bottle neck from the Environment into the Arrange Page sorted out - as in - do Arrange Page MIDI tracks recognise MIDI Interface, Ports and Devices? Really disappointed that it won't run in High Sierra. No change in that regard. I was expecting 10.5 to ...

SOS review of Korg ARP2600FS

I just read the SOS March edition review of the Korg ARP 2600 FS. All well and good - but - the reviewer has written the article seemingly blissfully ignorant of one critical piece of information - this instrument isn't available to purchase - and never will be! He's writing as if it's finally an op...
