He he. I’ve had my FleA 49 and Neumann modded MK67 for a while now and my whole BLUE System just sat there. I had always kind of wanted to upgrade to the Bottle from the Bottle Rocket Stage II I had, but I never felt it would beat out the 49 or 67 for what I like doing. So I sold it. Honestly, I was going to grab another mic and I decided that while I am at the beginning of recording vocals for the Christmas album I would be better off with a pair of compressors. jtc111 was nice enough to let me run some scratch vocals of Emily and I from the album through his gear back right before the pandemic. The opto sounded great on Emily and the V Comp on me... so despite being a mic nut I will be better served with the compressors... for now. I meant how are you buying these Audioscape units outside of the usual twice a week posting? It seemed like you bought the V-comp and Opto Comp, NOT right at the day/time that they post for sale. Hence my question about if you got them on Reverb or something. I watched the sales over the weekend and while sitting home enjoying a snow day on Monday I saw they had a V Comp still available that had not been purchased during Saturday’s release. I had a convo with jtc111 and humblecomposer about how purchasing a V Comp and Opto might enhance the quality of the album so I caved and bought the V Comp. So, I didn’t pick up the V Comp till Monday. Then, as audioscape mentioned, I shot them an email to ask if an opto would be available on this Wednesday or Saturday. I told them the situation about actively recording and mixing our Christmas Album. They allowed me to purchase an opto a couple of hours before releasing them into the wild since I was now part of the family and they had a few ready to go for last night’s release.

But when other everythingists like us pop into my studio they snub it because it isn't 2U and doesn't look almost exactly like the Teletronix. Bloody snobs.

I'm jealous. The V-Comp will be mine one of these days. I've missed it a couple times in the past. It would post and then quickly get snatched up.

If I lose the ability to buy one this Saturday at 8 Eastern, I hope it is because one of you was able to complete the transaction! (And I am trying for two of them. Then I need another rack with some space for two of these units, and for the Silver Bullet which is due for arrival soon I hope!) We should all relate back as to what happens this Saturday night!

I couldn't believe that an Opto was still available when I looked last Saturday, I purchased immediately. It arrived today. Though I'm very sick, just got out of the hospital a couple of days ago with more operations and such to come, I immediately racked it. I won't get to try it for a time while I'm recovering, but wow, what a work of art, just beautiful!

I'm hoping to be able to get a 76A in the not-too-distant future for my vocal chain, along with the Opto and an RTZ 9762. I will probably have to wait till I recover, but it will be one heck of a get-well present to myself.

Got my Opto yesterday. Hoping to rack it up later tonight. It's a crazy week for me though. I may not be able to really dive in until this weekend. We'll see.

So, I got the Opto racked last night and started playing around with some samples of Emily and I this morning through both the Opto and the V Comp. They are definitely different sounding. The Opto is smoother and a little sweeter sounding. The V Comp is rich with character and added presence. You really can't go wrong with either, but they do offer something a little different. More to come.

If you could only have one for lead vocals, which would you choose Vincent?

Funny enough, I kind of like Emily on the V Comp with me on the Opto in the crooning styled duets. The V gives Em’s voice a little weight, the Opto gives mine a little clarity. http://instagram.com/p/CLMs0TzhWQU
