I just bought a Chandler Curve Bender. Definitely a huge chunk of change so I snagged it used in case the purchase wasn’t feeling justified. So far I’m digging it. I have a TG Channel, a germ comp and a Redd mic, so I’m not new to chandler. But I admit that it’s much cleaner than people on forums seem to suggest. It’s also more subtle than people seem to describe. Currently I only have one other stereo pair of eqs (RND 551s) so I’m expecting to find plenty of use for the CB both tracking, mixing and mastering. One slight bummer is that the high pass filter’s lowest setting is 20hz with a very gentle slope which actually starts up around 65hz (checked this with Q clone). That makes it mostly unusual even for mastering purposes. Would have been nice to have a much lower setting. Anyone else on here using and enjoying this stellar tool? I've only used the plugin, but I was really impressed and successful with it. Seems like real desert-island gear.

I picked up a few plugins yesterday. Those BF sales are really hurting... 1) Lindell 80 Series - nice Neve channel. I already have too many but this was a little different 2) Pulsar Mu - very good vari-mu type comp (like a much cleaner MJUC, for when I need more transparency) 3) Pulsar Echorec - cool delay plugin. super easy to dial in and it has a good vibe
Thinking about Seventh Heaven and Phoenixverb next. Don't need any more reverbs but hard to resist.

Speaking of plugins, I just bought and started using the Eventide Anthology. I almost feel stupid for underestimating what these could do. If you're into sound design, textures, and crazy sounding effects you are more than covered with these. Goes way beyond what normal FX boxes can do.
I already had a few of them but the upgrade price was too good to pass on the whole bundle.

I grabbed the upgrade to the full Anthology bundle as well, this and Soundtoys 5 are my favorite creative FX. All my BF purchases so far have been bundle upgrades, also went from Komplete 11 to 12 and upgraded to the Sonivox Premier Collection. On the free end of things, went from Waves V10 to V11, added Spaceport '77 to SampleTank 4 SE, got iZotope's Nectar 3 Elements freebie and PastToFutures' Dr Aliensmith Drums sample pack.

I bought a Jim Williams modified pair of AKG 460’s off Reverb. Always liked them stock and think highly of Jim’s work (sending a DBX 161 to him on Monday)

Okay so I jumped at the surprise from Brad at LTLO and got the last VoidCorp Silverbullet Also grabbed the Magic Death Eye plugin because it interests me. Maybe someday try and get a unit. For now, this will do I think given the cost difference. Was going to get a Sumbuss but the silver bullet got me. Still might grab some ML2s or LC40s

I got an Alvarez baritone acoustic guitar. The combination of B-stock and Black Friday was too hard to pass up!

TC M-One XL from Svart.
BF deals finally got me to jump on Fabfilter Mastering bundle and the Isotope bundle upgrade.
I had sworn off plugs, but I have been doing more "mastering" lately.

Pulled the trigger on the AudioScape Opto Comp before BF deal. Got it on BF. This is making my ADK Z-251 sound wonderful. Combine that with my recently acquired AudioScape Buss Comp and my results are rising to the level I have been pursuing for a long time.

I gotta find some time to head to jtc111 place and really play with the Audio-Scape Opto and get a better idea how it sounds.

While minding my own business, I managed to do some research and now have two microphones on the way from Advanced Audio: A CM47fet/CE and a CM28. Good times are ahead.

If you check out the YouTube video of The Seekers, "recording" in the Studio, the Classic "I Know I'll Never Find Another You"... That's a C28 on the great (well all of the singers there were great!) Judith Durham lead vocals. Chris P.S. The AA version may very well, be a vocal mic "sleeper" IMHO.

Well couldn't let the weekend pass and not give Jeff some money..
So ordered the last two ML2s and the last two LC25s.
haha someone must have bought some summing mixers because he is out of input transformers!
Thats a lot of gear in the last 2 weeks for me. Much to build now and play with.

Speaking of AKG C28's here is a pic of the most unique capsule I have ever seen in a C28. It may be a Siemens SM205 version. The capsule is a mini CK12

I want to edit this and say that I now have a CM414 coming instead of the 47. Dave emailed and stated that he was out of stock on all his 47 style fets until the 15th of January. I had been wanting to try a 414 style mic anyways so I told him to just send it on down. When you are a ho you are a ho. I can get the other mics later. 😀

Heritage HA-73 EQX2 arrived today. Nice build, switches/buttons all feel solid etc. Looking forward to getting it hooked up and put to use. Since I am going to need to free up some space in the rack I also ordered some of the 1/2 space ventilated rack panels drbill posted about awhile back, thanks drbill!. Penn Elcom has a nice sale going on right now for those, $5.70 ea. Penn Elcom 1/2U Vented And Flanged Steel Rack PanelAlso, this little guy showed up yesterday, not sure if he counts as gear though... Attachments:

As I’ve been slowing selling off a few pieces I decided to put a deposit down on some new gear to luck in the Black Friday prices at Front End Audio...
So I’ve got a Highland Dynamics BG1, Overstayer MAS and SVC, and Standard Audio Level-Or MKII waiting for me.
Someone buy my Chandler Germanium compressors and Highland BG-2 so I can pay them off 😳
