Yes, Neil Finn uses Maton. Buying this basic model Cole Clark was expensive for me so I think I’m set for a while …. no more guitars And to think I was just looking at tix for the Chicago Crowded House show.

Grabbed a Lauten LS-308 awhile back, been using it on acoustic bass onstage with drums with pretty good results, bassists loves it and got his own. It's been good as a distant mic on cranked gtr amp, sounds much closer than it is, and doesn't sound like a shotgun. It definitely needs a non-moving target, it didn't do any better than the usual suspects for rejecting a stage wedge from an acoustic guitar, and when the player moved you lost them more. It's definitely a dark and fat sounding mic. Can't really imagine needing the LPF switches. Might try it on a floor tom that's tight with a ride cymbal, no idea on that.

bought a used (as new) behringer x-touch. very curious if it will speed up my workflow or not. i am just tired to using a mouse for some plugins and eager to use the x-touch for controlling plugins. i‘ve been re-ordering the pluginparameters to have the important ones on page 1 on the x-touch but some plugins don‘t have or show the CSParameterOrder.plist file ... so i can‘t re-order them.
also looking forward to speed up initial raw mix balancing with the faders. missing a phase knob though ...

Just added some AAX DSP plug-ins, updated McDSP 6050 Ultimate Channel Strip HD to V7 for $29 to get the additional activation on the second PT rig, then got the Sonnox Mix Bus Bundle HD in the current sale for $189, cheapest I've seen Oxford Dynamic EQ, Inflator, and Limiter HDX versions.

DBX 162 and a Distressor in a trade. Not sure I’ll keep them…I already have a couple Distressors and a lot of DBX style compression…

I pulled a Lace Sensor Blue out of the closet and put it in my usa standard strat neck position, blocked the tremolo with a piece of alder I cut to size, finessed the nut, intonated, now I have this sort of monster godzilla shred strat guitar. This thing will not go out of tune, and sustains like mad. It looks cool and unique too, since I refinished it with a green stain and it has all black plastics.

Only 3 needed for the recap. <button disabled="" class="c-attachment-insert--linked o-btn--sm">Attachment Deleted</button> Those are GREAT microphones. I have a pair of MD3's and they really blew me away. I'm pretty sure the Model 2 uses a Josephson capsule as well. I put my MD3 side by side with my Klaus tuned U67 reissue and they are freakishly close, the U67 just has a touch more top end. I thought I was doing something wrong when they almost phase cancelled each other other I had to have my studio partner come and hear it to make sure I was doing something wrong! I think you'll be really happy with it.

I just bought (well, preordered...) the Stam SA4000 Tube-5 MK2. Seems to be an evolution on the mk2 design, with the addition of a tube output stage. Not much infos on the website yet (the text is a copy paste of the text for the tube-less version) but I'm guessing it's an output stage. Is this the MK3 busscomp Stam were talking about on their recent Facebook post ? Couldn't tell. But I could not resist the urge of buying it. I'm actually still waiting for my SA76D+ to arrive. I love tubes, can't help it... stamaudio.com/shop/500-series/sa4000-tube-5-mk2/Now I'll have to decide how to proceed : I already use the Wes Audio Dione. Which one to use on the 2-buss, which one to use elsewhere ? Maybe I should only keep one. Decision decision...! I'm curious about the combination of VCA used with slow attack, and natural peak taming of tubes... Could be very interesting on the 2-buss.
