hey y'all. So far I' have used him on bass and guitars .
All I can say is this box rocks 8-)
What I really like is the Air Eq on the acoustic steel string.
Is there a recomended setting for voice on this compressor?
I'm using light compression as I track and am getting impressive results.

Hi, I'm a little worried. I bought my UA 6176 a couple of months ago and I love it. But the little light in the middle has never worked. So I finally picked up a light bulb that looked similar and stuck it in there. When I turned it on the bulb popped and the unit shut down. No big deal, I pulled out the fuse and sure enough it was fried.

I recently purchased an API 3124 and couldn't be happier. I finally have that kick drum sound I've been wanting. Now I want to get something that's dedicated to recording vocals so I'm thinking about a channel strip. The primary mic that I'll probably use is a Lawson L47. I've heard good things about the following strips but wanted to get your opinion:

Here's a review of the Sebatron THORAX valve channel strip at : (Dead Link Removed)

I've been hired to do an ongoing project. It's location recording of storyrtelling for a series of videos. I record them telling their tragic life stories, then a slideshow-like video is added later. I've done a couple already using my mbox and an NT2A, and while it has worked fine, Id really like an inline compressor, and a better pre wouldn't hurt.

I'm looking into some new gear in my quest to get that full, bright, balanced, "expensive studio" sound. Mainly I record instrumental stuff: keyboards, sampled drums from my MPC-4000, direct bass, and miked guitar. I never record more than 2 tracks at a time. There's so many choices as far as preamps, channel strips, EQ and compressors, it's really hard to choose what to buy.

How do these two compare as someone's only pre?

I got my Origin couple of days ago and I do love it! I'm just wondering if I did the best possible choice here...

I record mostly vocals & spoken voice, but also acoustic guitars, bass, percussion...

Kurt I know you have used both, what do you think?
Anyone else?

Thanks guys!

Hi

Besides the obvious...two channels on te veqc200, pre-amp on the Thorax...what are the specific differences between the Compressors on the two units?

Thanks
Mick

Where can I find tubes for my 2000e,whats the Thorax going $$$$$$ for?

Hello,

I bought yesterday a NEW preamp 6176, not second hand!

But there was somthing inside that was making noise when I was moving it like a screw or something like that.

I wanted to be sure and then I opened the box.

First I found the stuff inside, a 2mm piece of metal but I don't know what it is :
