Sucks. They are a great company. I'm sure they will take care of it ASAP. Good luck!

I bought a Redd about two months ago. I haven’t had the opportunity to track an entire project with it yet, but I am enjoying experimenting with it on different sources. Here’s a couple thoughts I have so far….Killer on bass di. Round and punchy with lots of harmonics. I run a boost pedal into the di and crank the thing with my electric guitar and get some awesome fuzzy di tones. It’s pretty amazing. On acoustic guitars it adds a presence that I normally don’t get with other pres. As a matter of fact, overall I’d say that it definitely has more presence than other pres I’ve tried. I am curious to see how a bunch of tracks would stack in a production, but I haven’t gotten there yet. Interested in other people’s thoughts as well! Attached is a little snippet of the di guitars. No processing! www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/kfjcbbs4pnm7aolixf03y/Most-Excellent.wav?rlkey=74q419dzbek30ao0ggcysn5wu&dl=0

Firewood piano is my go to for that thing. It’s like 29 bux from spitfire audio.

Had 8 channels of DAV at one point. Killer killer pres. Super smooth, clean and punchy. Miss them.

I just got an Audioscape v3a, and it’s pretty fantastic. No idea how it actually compares to the original, but it’s a fantastic compressor!

If you like them, and they work for you, I wouldn’t change. Maybe keep them and get another pair of something just to see how they compare. But if it ain’t broke….

Can only go by what I’ve used… In no particular order 1. Pete’s Place BAC (I’d love to try the Serpent, but I’m very very happy with the BAC) 2. Iron Age LH95 (My favorite eq at the moment) 3. Audioscape V3A (Opto goodness. Just excellent) 4. CAPI Preamps (Don’t own any at the moment, but they’re on my list) 5. Helios pre and eq. 6. SSL bus comp

I had them mod my original motu828. It actually sounded pretty good after the mod.

Beautiful setup with all the essentials. What kind of desk is that nick8801? Not quite sure! I bought it from a friend who was redoing their studio. He said it came from a guitar center display that was set up by Yamaha.

How are you liking the chroma console? Fun and useful or just gimmicky ? Little bit of both! I love it on guitar and keys for really transforming a sound. It may not stay…we will see.

Funny enough, if everyone was positioned correctly around the mic, you could easily record an entire ensemble with just a Royer SF-12 or any of it's relatives! I've done it a few times, and it was amazing! Here's one example: Artist: Big Bill Morganfield, I was going for a old school blues vibe. Drums Bass 2 x guitars Big Bill on Vocal Was exactly what the doctor ordered! This is awesome. Sounds great in mono too!

Cool. Don't think of them as "these should sound good" even though they do sound fine.. Think of them as "anything that sounds good on them will translate well" almost like NS10 earbuds, but without the painful 2Khz.. They're very neutral. Just ordered a pair! I always throw on my old earbuds to check mixes when I’m done in the studio, but the ear buds have that stupid Apple connection, so I can’t actually use them in the studio. For 10 bucks, it’s totally worth a shot! Thanks for the recommendation!

The buzz stuff is made really really well. I doubt you’d run into issues with it.

I used to love my Buzz SOC for that exact purpose. I foolishly sold it, but I did just grab an Audioscape 3a. It’s really excellent as well. They both add opto “glow”.

Let me guess…using the Amphion amp? Remember when they sold them with that 100w pos class d amp? They would demo the monitors and bookshelves with their own amps at shows and stuff and they sounded awful, like worse than the HS8, and were really better on any more powerful amp but I still don't like sound but that's preference. One year I went to their display at AES. All the passive radiators were blown from people cranking them up too loud. I was really interested in them up till that point. After that I just couldn’t do it.

I love my sm7, but if I only had one mic for everything maybe the ksm32? Tough call! I’ve never tried the sm7 on acoustics!

The headphone thing is a known issue on the older n’s. They have to replace that card. Unfortunately they do charge for it. I happened to be installing the 4pre module at the same time, so they were cool and fixed the headphone issue without charging for it.

I didn’t realize they were doing a dedicated monitor out card now. Looks cool!
