Hello there,
I'm sure you've all read the same post about 200 times by 200 other people, but just wondering if anyone can help me out. I've scouted the forums and have read many posts but none that have made my mind any clearer!

Which one should I buy? I like both but can only afford one of them. Any sugestions? Is one better than the other? I will be using them on everything from vocals to instruments.

I have another question: Is the Joemeek SC2.2 as good as the SC2?

Thanks!

I am looking to upgrade to an Avalon 737sp.
However I see it only has a mono out. And no SPDIF outs.
How will I get it to connect to my Harmonizer? The Harmonizer (Eventide) and the Lexicon FX units both need left and right inputs to have a incoming signal.

I just wanted to tell everyone that my THORAX is here and how awesome it is. It seemed like I could do no wrong with any signal I put through it. The preamp section has all that vmp color and more. It even seems that the clean settings seem cleaner than the vmp altough, that could be my imagination... The eq section is further expanded and has a "canine" setting that I love.

anybody have any opinions on a mic that would go well with the UA 6176? I would mostly be using it for male vocals in pop/rock/alternative styles. also some female vocals. what do you think?
thanks for the replys!

Juan

Hi

I like to by some preamp with comp for vocal and acoustic guitar mainly because I use Vst instruments and samples for rest of instruments,so I wonder is it better have Apogee mini me which is preamp/comp and a/d converter in one place or Avalon 737sp is better choice because is tube?
My setup is 3 pc with MOTU 828mkII,MOTU 2408mkII,m-audio 2496
Tascam Dm24,

Posted this in another thread, but it got missed.. so here it is again!

Can each section of the Thorax be accessed separately, ala the Origin and Quartet? Can a pair of Thorax (Thoraxes.. Thoraxi?) be connected to use the compressors as a stereo pair?

Also - can the EQ be swapped to go after the compressor.

Thanks!

I'm looking for my first really nice mic preamp and wondering if I should go with a channel strip with compressor and EQ, or just get the best stand-alone preamp I can afford. I don't have outboard EQ's or compressors to use, but generally don't record with much EQ or compression anyway. If I bought something like a 737, I might end up never using the EQ.

What do you guys think about Waves Renaissance eq instead of hardware eq. while tracking?

There are great units out there like the Vintech or Chandler types that are pre-amp and eq section, but are significantly more expensive than their pre-amp only versions.
