I don't get overly excited about live sound anymore. Our sound man tells me about all the cool new Digi-this and DPA-that. Just give me my in-ear pack and make sure the mix is inspiring and clear. That's all I want.
I still love good instruments. It's hard to impress me after all the trade shows. Everyone makes them beautiful...a few of them actually sound and play acceptably. My Bob Thompson dread is the only one I really need, and it's a tool.
HOWEVER...
I AM EAT UP with needing an honest-to-God U47 in absolute original condition. No Frankensteins. No clones. The real thing with all original components and accessories. I yearn...like a baby for its mammy.
A U47 and my two KM84s. There's nothing that I couldn't do with those three mics.
My wife is telling me to "just buy one...take out a loan or whatever."
The key to a happy musical life is a happy non-musical wife!
Live sound? SCREW the Digi/DPA crap. Give me a good analog Midas and a rack of outboard.
I can't tell you how intensely I dispise digital consoles. And screw the in-ears, too. Can't hear through 'em.
