Thread: soundcraft ghost

Search the archives on the ghost and you'll get some good info.

one of my big questions is.. is the sound i'll get from the 3124+ and mp20 going to be a huge difference between the ghost's pres?

Yes on the API, No on the MP20.

It appears to me from this post and the other posting I read that you don't really have a clue and have not clearly or completely thought this through. Nor do you seem to have any type of detailed business plan that entails all the projected expenses you will incur to set up a working studio. If you are indeed serious about doing this, then I suggest you take a few hundred bucks and hire a qualified professional to help you think this out conmpletely and fully before you even spend one dollar on gear. Something this important and big requires more than crusing the net or a newsgroup for casual info. You are only setting yourself up for failure and regret by doing it in this half ass way. Take this advice as you will...

I have to agree with Gaff on this.I've read through both of your sets of threads and was prepared to answer all your questions concerning a Ghost console(which I own),but I dont get a sense of direction on your part.This manifested itself in the fact that in your other post, on my forum, you said you were going to have to sell gear in order to buy gear of a totally different nature.And the questions you're asking are about fairly radically different pieces of gear as far as sound goes.You also have not stated even once what kind of RECORDER you're going to be using.This is a very important part of the recording process and is generally what will determine what type and amounts of outboard gear you are going to need. I'm not trying to be harsh here or discourage you in any way,but you indicated that this would be a commercial facility of sorts, and there is a lot to consider when charging someone for services rendered.If its for you in your own basement and you're looking for a start-up kind of system then the parameters change somewhat.Consider this before you make up your mind.

First off, If you really knew what sounds good and or had any real working experience or experience with gear, you wouldn't need to ask the basic questions that you've asked.

Second, most if not all Full Sail grads are not even qualified to sweep the floor in a real studio. I wouldn't trust one of those flunkys to wind up a mic cord. I sure hope your not comparing what they do when they wank away in class to what you may be able to do and think that is anything to be proud of. And I surely would not be taking seriously any gear advice from any of those hacks and wankers no matter how much gear they are exposed to or how many buzz words they learn to spit out.

Third, there are many gear rental places all over the world and throughout the USA. Search the net a little and you can find them. The L.A. CA phone book should have at a least a dozen or more to choose from.

Fourth, If you think you have it all figured out and don't want to listen or be rational with reason, then go for it. You about to learn a real lesson about the audio and music business that you won't soon forget.

heeeeeeeey.... this dude is not a good representation of Full Sail. I am very proud to be a grad. I worked my tail off to be able to afford their program, and I worked my tail off to get as much out of it as possible. I can think of plenty of airheads I met while there, but there are plenty of us grads out here that can sweep the hell out of any studio. :D
