Here's the scoop: an otherwise VERY reputable broker is trying to sell me a Trident 80C they say was used to track Thriller.

By all acounts I've read, Bruce Swedien recalls it was API and Harrison desks at Westlake Sound during the making of that record.

I can't imagine this well-known pro audio retailer would flat out lie (or even be mistaken) about such a thing.

Hi there,
I am looking for a 24 track Mixing console mainly for mixings & dubbings. The budget is aroung 3K to 4K £s. I am currently thinking at AMEK ,Soundcraft or OTARI. I am mainly interested in nice eq with total recall. Please give me your valuable suggetions. thanks

This will certainly be an easy question. We are going to buy a Soundcraft Ghost 24 which we will be using with Sonar 4. We will also be buying a MOTU 24i/o. But having never worked on an analog desk before now, how do the ins and out work? If I have for example 8 drum tracks in mono, they would go through any of the inputs (1-8 for example). But what do we do with stereo tracks?

I'm trying to compile a list of great albums recorded on 80 series Neve consoles. Can anyone help with some suggestions?

Hi there

Has anyone had any experience with either of these two consoles. I'm looking for an analog console to work with a Mix Plus system and/or DP. Are either of these out now? Would appreciate any and all info, especially those who have A-B'd them.

Well our church burnt down in August and we are building a new church. With that comes a new pa. so the board that was recommended to us was the soundcraft Lx7ii. it look like an ok board but i don't know the church will be doing contemporary praise and worship and we are going to be running the Aviom personal monitor system so we don't necessarily need allot of subs. i think 4 would do fine.

Hello All,

Hey all. question. How do you guys deal with mixing, with analog consoles? do most people, use, there inserts as outputs to there converters? or, the direct outs? so, the signal passes on the way, in, and, then mixing is done in the DAW>?

Do some, run the ins and outs, of there soundcard to there analog mixer? and if so, how do you approach this?

Do 3000 dollar (new or used) consoles that have a punchy preamp sound exist?

Specifically for Rock

Thanks
