Since day one of the inception of my recording company, I haven't been fortunate enough to actually pay myself on dime. Yeah, I take myself out to dinner on the company and every once in a while buy my wife flowers on the company dime, but other than that, every penny goes into buying gear.

Is there a book/website that meticulously covers vintage pro audio equipment (analogous to a history of marshall amplifiers book, or ampwares - the fender amp website - specifications, materials, transformers, etc.) BUT for mic preamps, compressors, eq's, consoles, analog tape machines, etc.

To all you acoustic recordists. I mostly do rock/pop etc but I have a classical acoustic gig coming up. ( I've done several of these in he past but I'm always trying to get better). I was wondering if you could help me spread this gear around. So out of this list of gear what would you use where? The sessions will be

Hey guys

I plan to have 2 UAD-1 cards with a full compliment of plugs,,,

my question is, with the quality of plugs these days, would it be redundent to spend money on outboard compressor and EQ ?

i'm starting to get pre buyers remorse of buying two things for one job

thanks for the feedback

my friend and i are going to new york to purchase some gear for him. (i love to spend other people's money :twisted: )

any links to used great used gear shop's?

thx

Hi! I have a cousin taking his holidays in miami and i sayd him to buy me some equipments, but the real problem is that I can't find a store (not a 'virtual' one like ebay..etc) that have in stock the equipments i need.
They are:

Sound Card: M AUDIO DELTA 44
PRE: M AUDIO DMP3
MIC: RODE NT1000

I've come to the point that I think it might be pointless for me to keep spending money on gear, and not enough time on training my ears.

I was going to buy another low price preamp (VTB-1) or Moulton Labs Golden Ears. I'm thinking that being able to use my ears more effectively will be the better buy. What do you think?

Has anyone tried out the Golden Ears product?

Right now I have: Mackie HR824's, Behringer HR400 headphone amp, dbx376, Bellari RP503, BBE 882, (2) RNP/RNC. As of now the BBE isn't even connected to the 002, and the RNP/RNC's aren't connected to the outs, so I can't use them as inserts in Pro Tools. I plan on getting two more pre's/compressors and another channel strip within the next few weeks.
