Unfortunately, this is why I haven’t ordered any of Stam’s pieces. I could probably put enough money together to purchase a real U67 or La2a, etc if I gave myself 2 years to do it. But if you saved it, and then waited the time, you'd have the stam plus money to buy plenty of other things! Reminds me of the guy whose girlfriend, who doesn't drink, comments on the number of beers, and the amount of days he has drunk while watching tv and she hasn't. She counts it up, shows it's x years, and x thousands of dollars. Enough to buy a plane! He looks her up and down, then asks her "so where's YOUR plane?"

A lot of times i'll build out the midi in my daw (pro tools) or import the midi from my old program drumsite, which will give me midi files to import to track into pro tools. I drag the midi out of the builder in ED2 and pull it onto a midi track in PT and edit there, where I know and can control the way it hits, plus cut and paste the midi notes into whatever I can. Anything from one of their grooves is straight up realistic for me. I know you can do anything in SD2 that you can do in ED2.

they're pretty good at making things not sound too programmed. the biggest thing you can do is when you're doing hi hats, lower the volume every other hit, and it'll make it better. the grooves that come with the packs are great. I just got the pop punk one, because John Feldman's blink 182 drum sound is top notch, and i do a LOT of the post punk stuff.
to help with grooves:

It’s still the issue of latency and dragging down all my computing power. Truly the biggest thing for me. What a friend does,and now I do, is break out the LR of the spdif and have one run in direct, the other hardware modeled,so you can then redirect the new signal to the software sim when the track is completely recorded. No latency while recording that way. Computing power is another thing. Maybe freeze tracks to manage it.

Interesting. I thought the headroom of a converter is determined by its supply rail rather than its bit depth. Would love to how 32 bit was useful in your situation! I don't really understand it either. Basically doing a location recording in the middle of no where(seriously) outdoors. Doing a recording of John Luther Adams 'Song Birds' I believe. I've got a Quad array of 4006a DPA mics on tall stands sort of in the center of percusive insturments spread out all over the land and hills. Marimba is right in front and tons of other stuff all over. Rig is in the back of two UTVs due to terrain. Grace m802 Micpre amps using them as the converters for the first 8ch. Master clock for the whole system. Goes into one Avid HD IO box. 8 digital 8 analog. Recording in PT HDX Native via thunderbolt on a mac mini. This is all in road cases and being powered by two deep cycle car batteries. Anyways due to lots of reason, didn't really get a real sound check. Last movement has bass drum which is probably 150 yards away up on a hill above my mics. Guy smacks the shit out of the drum. Peaks badly. Shit. However, upon listening back even after telling John that we got blown out by the drum(which he laughed at and sort of knew would happen) it was not clipped. PT shows it "clipping" but not a hard clip. And you do not hear it clipping. It is more than useable. I have no idea why that is or how it happened. Hopefully someone else can say why. What is odd is the Grace converters are 24bit no matter what and they clipped. So there is some distortion on the drum hits. But it sounds nothing like what we hard during the actual performance, which was bad. Now, its fine. sooo..... yeah. No idea. But i do everything in 32 bit float in PT for that reason. Thats just one of the more obvious examples I know of that it happened. I do know that PT HD stuff has a built in "soft clipping" in their HD interface units (or did on the 192 i/o i owned) to never let you ruin perfectly okay recordings. Maybe that's your savior?

I find my old jcm800 50 watt combos on Craigslist often enough for 800-1k. Worth it to try!

so i'm going with soundbetter, i forgot about that one. see if that's ok. I'm curious - this is for pandora - would there be BMI stuff for this, or is that only if there was music?

I just got offered a 30 second commercial voiceover job, but as it's for a company, they're requiring some sort of contract, as they need the line item, etc. I gotta say I haven't had to deal with this before. Anyone have a suggestion for a contract, or one they use they'd be willing to share? Thanks for any help. Contract or invoice? Contract, I'll just pull a Microsoft word invoice, for that part.

Just to clarify, it is not the same price
SA23A (2 in 1 compressor): 1090 stock price, 990 pre orders, 890 first 100, 790 for all affected clients by delays ((ADG, ADF, Fairchild, Pultec, 1073EQ) SA23A+ (4 in 1 compressor): 1290 stock price, 1190 pre-orders, 1090 first 100, 990 for all affected clients by delays (ADG, ADF, Fairchild, Pultec, 1073EQ)[/quote]
Your prices are 100 lower on facebook for the 4 in 1, with 890 for the affected on the website, was this made in error?
What about this one?
The SA23A+
4 compressors in 1
SA2A-S (Slow) is a recreation of the 1960's LA2A
SA2A-F (Fast) is a recreation of the 1970's LA2A which had a faster release with a second T4B
SA3A the same LA3A replica we use to sell, inside this uni
LA-4 a recreation of the original UREI LA4 with all the improvements with a fixed 4:1 ratio.
The idea behind this was to make one compressor, identical to the original counterparts, that will allow to use it on any source with one click.
The SA2A is the ideal compressor for Bass and Vocals, SA3A for gutiars and LA4 for strings and overheads.
Price: 1290 USD
Pre-orders: 1090 USD
First 100: 990 USD
We will offer a 30% discount to all clients that have been affected by delays on the ADG, ADF, Fairchild, Pultec and 1073EQ meaning just 890 USD!
More news on both the SA23A and SA23A+ soon

Think I’m gonna grab some fender precision pickups Get the SD basslines if you are changing pickups. Ampeg emulation is usually pretty good, I use the 11r one and never hear complaints

I mean seriously. you're giving away a 700 dollar microphone.. why be worried about $5 shipping, it's expensible just the same. Scammers need to think a bit harder.

To take the chance this is a serious discussion - drum machine drums does not equal bad song. While my taste is my taste, Billy Corgan was able to incorporate it well in the later pumpkins, as well as Butch Vig in the Garbage records. The samples are also now much more realistic and have become commonplace in pop music as a replacement for the actual drum tracks (if they were recorded) to get the loudest "thack" you can, or even just a familiar one, so you are instantly comfortable with a new song, as it keeps a level of nostalgia going across artists. Easily accessible tools like Slate's Trigger, and the samples it comes with, are among most AAA level signed rock bands of the last decade.
But hey, if you like it, who cares, right? A good song transcends the recording, as so evident by my 90's 8 track weezer demos like Paperface that still make my blood pump when it comes on.

i actually picked one of these up in the ikea scratch and dent, and put a scratch and dent ikea kitchen top on it - instant 8' desk I want to cut the center out and drop in some keyboard and fader pack areas, but that involves actually doing it.

I think i read that it the la2a was used as just a straight preamp, i believe rod stewart was one person who did it that way?

Try a different cable? That almost sounds like an open connection on a balanced cable or something. I was thinking the same thing! perhaps you need to push it in just a little more than you think? My wa76 is the same way. I didn't realize how hard I needed to push that jack in when I'm not looking at it.
