What about CAPI LC40 & LC25 & BT50? Anyone? I’m still in the hunt for 4 nice EQ’s I like the LC40's and LC25's more than the BT50's. I might be the only one though....

Close family member here with severe Aspergers and ADHD combo. I never knew there was an autism day. Saying "happy" autism day seems....um....odd. It's not much fun having a close family member with Aspergers, but we love him nonetheless. There does seem to be some increasing hope as he ages. And yes, incredibly smart, constantly frustrated, lacking any social skills with a very formidable brain that operates at about 210 mph with photographic-like memory while the rest of us bumble along at 65-70. Makes for a very non-standardized lifestyle to say the least. And geoff738 - zero doubt that musicians have a higher than normal incidence of being on the spectrum. I have known many. As a matter of fact, I'd hazard to guess that it's approaching 50%.

I moved OUT of earthquake and fire-tornado country (so cal). Lived thru a bunch of those. Happy to be gone. I don't like tornados or places that are prone to them, and I don't like fires burning down entire neighborhoods. Too many stories from my parents who grew up in those tornado areas. Worst thing we have here is maybe some drought conditions here or there. Not everyplace has the same natural disaster potential. I like it out west, the east is not for me.

It's sad when you click on a thread about a Neve 88 - only to find out it's about an interface.....

I WANT TO GET TO IT!!! But schedules have stopped me the last couple weeks. Hopefully soon. I can report that the build is spectacular, the attention to detail is second to none, and it even sounds great on my crappy voice. LOL. Hopefully I can have more to say soon! Initial impressions tell me this is the one to beat! Glad to hear your preliminary encouraging comments! (No pressure really, by the way for the full report.) When my Heiserman 47 arrived after waiting a number of months, I had just gotten Covid! So I waited weeks to even open the box! Sort of Murphy's law of equipment arrivals! Glad you're feeling better. I had something scheduled for tomorrow, and got bumped till after easter. Sigh....

Still waiting for the drBill report on the Heiserman 251! Given how awesome the capsules are for the Heiserman 47 (I have both capsule choices), I am betting that the Heiserman capsule for the 251 will be amazing, but I still really want to hear it!

Meanwhile, UAD is openly elated about this and Softube is currently running an ad over at GS that reads "Invest in professional plugins that you'll own forever." All their competitors are licking their chops, and rightfully so. Ha. I was about to post the same thing. That Softube ad seems to pop up at the top of every page in that Waves thread over on GS. View AttachmentWait....you guys go to GS?!?!?!?!?!?!?

But PT did indeed create a subscription model.. And got pushed back on and decided to keep perpetual for a while.. But it'll eventually move over to subscription-only in the next few years. I would bet on it. That's what I'm saying, PT created a subscription model, and has tried and failed over and over and over again to force it on everyone. I'm not certain how long it's been since they first announced they were going subscription only but it feels like it's been about 10 years. And I don't know how many times I've heard that it's the last time PT is offering perpetual licenses just to find out a year later that yet again they are offering perpetual licenses. So going subscription only hasn't happened for them despite their best efforts, and they have a much stickier customer base than any plugin company. This is it exactly. They (AVID) have tried. Hard. And failed. The community is not on board, and it's the community that supports the company. Waves may find themselves in the same boat.

I figured as much.. Even in tracking i would very rarely need more than 6db. Thank you! When I first got them, I went for larger boosts/cuts because they sound so freaking good. . But I quickly adjusted and realized that smaller is almost always bigger.... .

For those using the Miad on the 2-buss, how easy is it to match both channels on the master buss? I have no problems matching, but if used solely for the 2 bus, I'd opt for the +/- 6dB version as I find my boost/cuts fairly minimal on the scale of things with those EQ's. I rarely need 6dB and almost never more than that. But that's for my needs. YMMV.

$15 for shipping back to get $22? My time is worth more than the $7. They don’t offer free return shipping? Even if it’s broken? Maybe I’m just used to Amazon shopping. Dunno? I bought on eBay. If they do, it's going back. I'd like to get a working one, cause the 4 are going to friends and I'll end up with an empty case and shock mount otherwise. LOL

Got the 5 mics today. Only 4 worked. Guess I should have ordered 6. Either I get none, or one out of my friends is going to be disappointed. Guess Ill have to take one for the team. It's not even worth sending it back, and they look to be completely sold out. Soooo......SOL. Why not just return it and get your money back? Also even factoring in $22 or whatever split over 4 working mics... $30 a pop for a useable vibe ribbon seems pretty awesome. $15 for shipping back to get $22? My time is worth more than the $7.

You need.....heaphones. That's it. Oh, you need one more thing.... A REASON to mix on headphones. LOL. I know a bunch of people do it. I've never heard the headphone set yet that comes even remotely close to a medium grade studio monitor in a remotely close room. YMMV. Having headphones on for mixing all day long is a nightmare I'm not willing to embrace.

ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz........ Wake me up when it's over..... Wish I could get as much sleep as you're going to ;-) Michael - I love "surround" mixing and listening back to it, and (unlike the majority who tout atmos) have done a bunch of it - up to mixes 24 channels wide. I've been down this road several times on a wide variety of fronts - feature films, TV, Theme Parks (including several venues for one of the biggest and most expensive venues in the world), immersive specific venue's, surround music CD's, etc.. It's always driven by "tech" and money makers, and never driven by consumers. That's eventually a fail. Feel free to stay awake in a woke world and push the tech further. But IMO it's all empty words. I'll be at home, sleeping, and having peaceful dreams. PS - I have a buddy who acoustically designs some of the most hi-tech and expensive rooms around the country. He is so sick of the term "immersive" that if you mention it to him, you're liable to have to duck quickly. LOL. It's a buzzword right now, but in his opinion, has no staying power in the vast majority of applications. Enjoy!

The thing I noticed about the video is that the dude has a Silver Bullet sitting on the top of his rack. He needs a mk2 though.......

I bought 5 - but I'm giving them all away. I've got a pair and a single here already. Put in an order at Amazon but it says 30 days to deliver. Out of stock everywhere else and discontinued by Monoprice so I kinda feel like that's a bad sign. My order was confirmed, and delivery is expected by end of this week. They seem to be gone now. Must have sold out very quickly.

They are good for every/any thing. I haven't used them a ton, but they are neutral and have that ribbon thing going on. Not super dark like an old RCA, not as articulate as a high end Samar, but cool, and certainly useable. For $22 - why not just try one? Or 2 or 3 or 4😁 I bought 5 - but I'm giving them all away.

I bought a bunch of em off eBay to give to friends. $22 ea. Free shipping too. LOL. They are decent little ribbons.... And they come with a shock mount, windscreen, and case. Wonder how much Monoprice buys these for. heh heh What are they good for / what have you used them for? They are good for every/any thing.

I see the price but how do you actually buy it? there doesn't seem to buy a way to buy directly on the website. Do they have dealers? I bought mine direct.
