I have the blue S version, upgraded to D/SE standard. No plastic peeling on my unit and it sounds great. I think the D/SE version is the one that everybody wants.

I agree, Auto Align is another killer. I use it on guitars that are recorded through two different amps. It gets them real tight and punchy. Like Randy says, it works a charm on any multi-miced sources. Also, if you mult bass tracks and process them differently, Auto Align gets them tight. The fact that it also checks for phase issues is another big plus.

It works great. Used it recently to bring up some snare ghost notes that got lost.

I've long gone the cheap route and bought $100 office chairs that looked the part but never lasted. I finally got myself an Aeron and even paid full price, well over 1,000 Euros, but it's been worth every penny. Like with audio gear, you get what you pay for.

I'll be with you guys in spirit and I'll raise my glass from the other side of the world. Pity I can't be there.

Here's a nice program I found on Nashville. Wiz, you might get some interesting info for your trip.
Not being a big fan of the genre, I still found this video fascinating and highly informative and entertaining. Maybe those of you guys who don't know it will enjoy it.
Have fun

I watched some Triad videos and I think I have a new obsession. 200 Euros for a mic stand? I gotta be crazy. Thanks John, it's all your fault

I too have K&M stands and noticed that they're not what they used to be. I've been looking for solid, affordable stands for ages now. Those Triads look very interesting but, man, 155 Euros to start with, that's a lot. Guess I'll have to try them anyway.

So sad, another one gone. 59 is not old enough to go, but I guess he's in a better place now.

No intention to bash UAD here. Sure the Apollo is good interface. Just referring to the investment. Price of their plugs etc.. I hardly ever paid full price for a UAD plugin, they constantly have promotions.

this is not aimed at anyone but I read these threads and the same question keeps entering my mind.
"why upgrade"
in all seriousness, what's going on here. this just seems like a cash cow. I reckon if you add up all of the coin spent on software and peripheries you'd be spending more than just going and buying hardware.
it has to be a mindset based around the computer industry, the idea to upgrade upgrade upgrade. what flaws me most is the idea that an upgrade comes with better features and fixes.
I've got hardware I've been using for 6 or more years that cost $150 bucks that has never needed an upgrade or bug fix.
16 channels of lynx conversion in 5 years has not skipped a beat. never loaded a patch, an update, or anything.
I'm with you. I still run OS 10.6.8 and see no reason to upgrade, it runs rock solid and I can do everything I need to do. It also means that the newer versions of UAD will not run on my system, so the latest round of plugins are not for me. Saves me a lot of money though. I'm just glad that Ocean Way still runs on my system, that's a very useful tool. Everything after that didn't look attractive enough to me to be tempted.

Nice work guys. I can hear you had some fun, right on. That 84 with the Dizengoff D4 sounds beautiful. Now, how do I get a D4 in Europe?? (scratches head)

the only thing i'd say is, if its about sound and not collectibility, maybe wait to listen to the direct comparison we're going to do with #38 neumann U47 against clones this weekend, it may save you $10-30,000? or it may show us clone guys we've been wasting our time 8) I will definitely set up the samples blind and level matched, and let everyone take their guesses, gonna be really fun to find out, i'm of course biased and routing for the clones 8) but i hope to be as objective as I possibly can when listening. i'm also going to put up a SM58 to see if ward's claim holds up? 8) Tony I'm very much looking forward to this. I think that clones can easily hold their own at least when it comes to U47s. My Andreas Grosser 47 sounded identical to vintage U47s he had in his shop and I paid way less. I only wish someone would come up with a convincing U67 clone. I'm still lusting for a nice 67, even though it won't help me in writing good songs...

This one looks great! Oh...sorry, you said vintage mic
AND... it can handle TWO tracks of Pro Tools at the same time!! ...which for some of today's songs, is more than enough

Sad how this thread deteriorated into Slate bashing again. I too bought FG-X and I use it in Logic with the bridge. Works fine and gives my no trouble. Now I even get it in 64 bit. I can't follow Martin's reasoning, if I buy a 32 bit plug I know it won't work in 64 bit. And with Slate's announcing history, I know that I have to take them with a grain of salt. Now can we go back to VCC, please? This thread is not about FG-X, right?

I'm a big fan of the American Concert D library and Italian Grand 2 for Ivory 2. Definitely check those out if you're thinking of purchasing. beware the 20 minute per DVD install time tho. Agreed. Installation takes a long time due to the large content. Order a pizza with Ivory...
