International pre-order here for Ireland. My invoice just came in ... for the Zulu only. A separate one will come in for the shipping. I paid the invoice but I would have liked to know what the shipping was.... I have seen some silly numbers on shipping over the years and you just get cautious with age.
In this case I took the leap of faith based on this forum and Langston's participation in it added to the feedback from people who have got the product already.
Just a note on form factor ... I am planning to make a 4-core cable to hook this into my patchbay and have it sitting atop my desk, but easy to move around a la Lexicon remote (as Langston suggested in another thread)
Looking forward to this!

^^^^^^^ got and paid mine too. Had a quick check on a few carriers to get a ballpark figure from the US to here. Doesn't look too horrendous. Looking forward to this beastie.

We use USPS unless the customer asks for a different carrier. Our shipping costs are technically shipping and handling. So this includes the shipping plus the shipping materials and handling of them. Thanks -L.

Tracked some electrics through Zulu last night. Sounded great. I love the ability to sculpt the sonics outside of the typical EQ/compression paradigm. "I need more *gnarl* and maybe a little more *gurrhggh*..." (turn some Zulu knobs) "...ahh, there we go"

So far you and Wiz are beating everybody to the punch Thanks -L.

Today I got my studio functional to the degree I could get 8 channels of DAW in and out analog. I got my Metric Halo ULN-8 patched to my DP DAW computer. First thing I wanted to try and report on was the Zulu which I hadn't patched in previously. I took an archive 2trk recording of me multitracked with a Martin Backpacker guitar and vocals (even the 'bass' is the Backpacker pitched down with DP's pitch tools,) loaded it into a current DP session, and tweaked the bare track a bit. Then I sent that 2trk to the Zulu, and brought it back into DP through my ULN-8 (using only trim gain, no DSP character or otherwise.) This isn't much of a demo beyond me futzing with the Zulu and settling on the first thing I liked what it did to the two mix. I recorded the Zulu version back into DP, then made a print version where I switched from the feed track and the Zulu processed track. I matched the volume as best I could by ear and Waves PAZ meters. Here's the file. www.dropbox.com/s/vjpcgwxmufye837/HoldYourHandZuluDemo.mp3?dl=0Last time I did a dropbox link, people said it sounded better if you download the mp3 rather than listen at dropbox.com I dunno. And below is the key to what you're hearing when. Just out of the box, I'm digging the ZULU, and think that it'll be a regular part of my analog chain in tha battle to overcome digititis. First Verse, Feed Track First Chorus, Second Verse Zulu Second Chorus Feed Track First Bridge Third Verse, Zulu Second Bridge Feed Track Last Verse split Zulu, then Feed Track Wrap Chorus and end, Zulu

Another day getting my studio functional. It's my aim to integrate and easily access any and all of my Metric Halo interfaces (I have three,) my SVART box AD/DA and my Apollo Twin Unison capabilites.
I took delivery today of a Monoprice 10" powered sub woofer (such a deal, $219), and spent about 90 minutes installing it and dialing it into my JBL 305 monitor path. I also have Focal CMS 65's, and they're switchable with a Coleman passive 3 into 1 box I also just got. Today I used the MH ULN-8, which has exceptionally clean converters.
I think I'll get another Coleman to easily switch between MH, UAD and SVART source for D/A monitoring, or another monitor controller. Since it's passive, it works either way, three into one, or one into three.
I dialed the sub level and cross over by ear, then used iPhone RTA and fft apps and some pink noise to get smooth graphs. Further listening with music, I tweaked the crossover and the level some more, reconfirmed the RTA's with music and noise, and sat back and gloried in the best monitoring situation I have ever had in my own home. I heard the bottom of the OBX on Van Halen's "Jump" like I hadn't heard an Obie since we used one back then. It reminded me what it actually sounds like, not what it sounded like on the record with lesser playback for so many years.
Soon I got curious, and inserted the Zulu and made up gain with the Stam 1073, into the monitoring chain. Again I just grabbed knobs and switches like the man behind the curtain in Emerald City until I found settings that flattered the truth of the ULN. In this situation, it was basically all the knobs about 2 o'clock. Taking a hair of the edge off the top of Spotify's premium streaming, and adding a bit of euphonic glue. Gain matching by ear, I could easily switch between flat and flatter with a mouse click, and I spend too much time listening to my reference and favorite music. The gear and the Jeff Hedback designed room acoustics actually brought a tear to my eye, and my ears, (if they could tear up.) I've not heard playback this good and this sweet outside control rooms and mastering suites I was paying good money to occupy for the privilege.
Today was a good day.

This sounds great! When should we be on the lookout for invoices if we were part of the pre-order?
