Thanks ! Yeah I'm excited, I love the Autechre-style digi sound and have been searching for a long time.
I'll see if I like the Machinedrum UW RAM machines controlled via MIDI (the realtime live sampling facility), then I'll consider their Octatrack "dynamic sampler" too, which draws its basic concept from the Machinedrum UW RAM machines.
But the Octa sound is meh because of very bad converters. I never liked the demos I heard of it, and then discussions emerged saying they use the cheapest convertor chips available & confirmed my impressions. Old 2$ cellphone convertors, really bad quality. Shitty cheap chips ! Hopefully a MK3 is on the horizon...
At least the Machinedrum doesn't try to fake transparent conversion like the Octa, it's 12 bit and that's all you get, for better or worse. xxx

Got a pair of Serrano 87s over the weekend and I'm seriously impressed! These mics are punching way above their weight class. Multi-pattern condensers were the one thing in my mic locker where I had a bit of a hole, but now I'm feeling very good about my options!

Just picked up the Savant audio Quantum reverb plug. I didn’t even demo it. Super easy process, quick download and install. Shows up in Logic as validated and I try to put it on a track and its not there. Restart Logic and same thing. Do I need to do something more to authorize? Look in the plugins library folder and everything looks good. Then pop it on a stereo track. Bingo. There it is.
Anyhow I was doing so well not buying plugins. But it’s like crack.
Cheers, Geoff

I got my Eastwood Classic 12 today. It was a killer deal on a B-stock for $300 off. It sounds great, even when my drummer ass plays it. link

Senn 441-U -- about 15 years old, in minty fresh shape!
What a cool sounding mic, unlike any other dynamic I've tried.

Just bought a Switchcraft 1625.
8x2 TT patchbay module so I can patch my new Pulse 16 into my XLR main rack patchbay.
Cute little thing - beautifully made.

A buddy of mine sold me a pair of Paiste Signature Traditional Medium Light 15" hi-hats. They are pretty rare...I don't think they were a production size for very long but they are a great studio hat so I had to snag them
Also finally getting my Barefoot MM27 amp back from repair, 3 months later.

Played through an Orange at rehearsal this week. Saw an Orange Bax pedal, which I believe has been discontinued, on sale. Should be here next week. Cheers, Geoff

This is one of the reasons I love passive’s, BEL 2002 needed a couple of Caps replaced. Not a problem, grabbed 2 Stewart World 2.1’s ( yeah totally overkill power wise) as they came in zero down time.

These came with a console I bought at a price I couldn't pass up...I wouldn't have personally bought them otherwise. But the most insane thing was that the "sub" switch was broken and I guess because it's an integrated board they wouldn't just replace the switch but had to swap the entire board...which was insanely expensive compared to a $3 part.

Yeah That is absolutely insane, unfortunately it is becoming the norm. Manufacturers, Dealers and distributors should understand that the difference between “ Pro audio” and home audio is someone is actually using these in a commercial environment, that is the customer they want to get to then sell to the home recordist. If I’m waiting 3 months because of a broken switch itt isn’t making me money. The funny thing is yesterday I was trying to convince a manufacturer not to use a tweeter I absolutely love because they are hand made in small batches, that means at times a replacement diaphragm can be a 6 month wait, average of 2 months. Unless they are going to ship a replacement diaphragm with each box in my eyes that isn’t professional service.

Awful awful old versions of Seetronics TRS connectors. 8 defective out of 20 soldered. Bad batch or pure crap ? Sending back the other 75. The current version sold by thomann is flawless. If only I had known I was buying the old version in the other shop...
