T-Racks 5 is about to be released and one of the four new processors is the 'MASTER MATCH', that seems to be similar in the way that 'FFT FILTER SOUND CLONER' (a Samplitude's native plugin ) works.

I can be wrong, but at the first look it seems that the IK Multimedias' new tool is an interesting new way to do what SOUND CLONER does.

What do you think?

Looks like (now berringer owned) Klark Technic has produced an 1176 clone. Priced $600 its in line with other mass produced clone gear.

IMHO it's insulting to both KT and 1176 that this thing is out. Having not heard it or used it I can't comment on its quality or authenticity. To me it's just a way to grab some kids cash.

Hi all,

I'm interested in building one of these 1176 clones from Hairball Audio. Has anyone else done it and can they comment on the sound compared to the original?

Started thinking about the various Neve 1073 inspired preamps out there and decided to start a list to compare. Now, I guess any transformer-based preamp is "inspired" by the 1073, but I just started a list of current production models available in the US that have some direct connection to the 1073. In the notes, "clone eq" means an eq that closely resembles the 1073.

Hey, new to the forums, not new to gear and recording. So i built an SSL comp clone using audio kitchen PCB's and THAT 2180 pre trimmed VCA's. Long story short I had some DIP sockets laying around that were 9 pins long so i used those for the VCA's.

Anyone have any recommendations for a good cloner/ doubler?

Thanks

i m a big fan of all those vintage mics
i had the chance to record with some of the best and most expensive mics in the world but would not want to spend the money to buy one of them today because they are rather expensive
i m looking for the best or closest copy/clone of a
u87
u67
u47 '
and few others from ther brands i can t think of.

Hey guys, I would like to know the name brands of all the Neve
clones. I know there are a few but I need to know them by name
Thanks

Its really a neet idea.. I wonder if it works as good as it states on the web site. I also wonder if you can use it to capture the sound of other types of hardware like mic preamps... Probably not, but its still pretty neet.

Anyone try it yet?

Opinions on any of the Neve clones out there?

I have a pair of Neve's which I love but I'm in the market for some clones. What's the best bang for your buck? Vintech? Seventh Circle? Great River? Any others?

Thanks!
