Yet another setup in my ever growing collection of gear used for remote recording ..... Everything set on a Triad Orbit T3c Stand. I believe I own at least one of every accessory they make, and have used most of them in this design. From top to bottom. 1 x Mevo Camera, for filming the artist if I'm setup close to them, then I can film and record at the same time. 1 x iPad, used to control Mevo Camera, zoom, focus, as well as to just watch the footage. 1 x Pair of iLoud monitors, playback for the artists. 1 x Pair of Grads RS-1 phones for me to monitor. 1 x Merging Technologies, Anubis, (premium) monitor controller, and Interface capable of recording DSD and controlling 256 channels 1 x Track ball 1 x Apple Mac Book Pro, whatever the newest model is, 32 gig, 512 ............ 1 x Cisco 10 channel Gigabit Ethernet switch used to send and receive signals from other Merging boxes (Horus / Hapi) on stage or in the recording area... 1 x Furman, power strip.

I purchased a Royer SF12 mic new when they were first released... Put it 6 feet in front of a kit, and was blown away, it was the first time I heard the drums in my control room sound exactly the way they sounded while standing in front of them in the studio room. Amazing mic. Shortly after that, I started using the SF12 as a overhead, and captures the entire kit beautifully. As I like my overhead mic to be the main picture of the kit, and blend Kick, Snare, Toms ad or room to taste.
So I purchased another for stereo room, And then another for Acoustic guitar, and this has been my setup for the last 1o years give or take. Works amazingly well for singer songwriters with the SF12 on Acoustic, and something else on vocal.
Been longing for the tube version, but its a bit of $$$. Someday.

I'd love to be there....
Funny enough I just finished a session, and I've already downed a St Bernardus ABT-12, and I'm now enjoying a Chimay Tripel... before dinner.
Might have the Chimay Blue with dinner...
Very lucky to have all 3 on tap at my studios pub these last two weeks! It's a beautiful thing.

I was actually lucky enough to hold that exact guitar (the first serialized strat) in my hands @ David's house, way back in July 1983. As well as the original Penguin, which at the time was still wrapped in plastic, with the tags and info sheet hangin off the pegs! This is when he lived in Alvin Lee's old place, at that time called...Hook End Manor. Later became "Sarm Studio"
Man, what a week that was....the stories....

The answer is TIME, and the ability to recall instantly. Time = $$$ No one, literally NO ONE wants to pay anymore.
No Assistant required either!

I was on the waiting list over 1 year ago for one with original (something) transformers, I forgot which ones they were? And they never contacted me.

Maybe it's just me , But no "in the box" mix I've ever done, comes close to anything I've summed out to either the console, my remote Helios & Neve 8816 rig, or the Dangerous 2 BUSS+
Not once. The 2 Buss + is a beautiful piece.

Hunter, "A mix only basing st Helios in the smaller room Ken Hirsch was doing the setup"
I believe Ken is now brokering this console, doing a refurb, from what I heard.

I have built 2 x of those rigs... 4 cases 32 channels total, and now the second 2 have returned home, no damn room in this place!
Might actually buy a small truck / van this week, and start a little mobile company... You know something like the Rolling Stones mobile unit, only much smaller, and cheaper to use. Hmmmmmmm

Hummmmm?
Could be, Peter never said anything about that. I thought Ben was only involved in the new release, but ya never know?

I don't think Ben is involved in the UseFul Arts Company, but he plays drums in a band along with Peter.
That said, I hosted a day here with Pete last year, going thru all his gear, and I must say, his stuff is top notch, sounds wonderful, and a very good deal $$$.
He, (Peter) is also a GREAT guy. Loads of laughs.

Boring, No vibe, Drums sound like a lifeless machine. And if they're not.....then that's pretty sad! But what do I know?

Vincent, As you already know, it's one of the most valued, and missed microphones of the past. No clones, No reproductions, NADA.
Those who have used a good one, know. So versatile, and nothing today touches it! Why, I dunno?

Although not one of the choices on your list, for my money I'd love to see a new KM56 style mic. Tube driven, Multiple patterns, Nickel capsule!
I have a few originals, and they are some of the most requested, and used mic's in my collection. Very versatile, RARE, & EXPENSIVE.
Sadly, all the other choices you have on your list have been cloned Ad nauseam... This mic would be unique, and a huge hit, if done right.
Sorry for the left turn, just my opinion.

Years, & years, ago... I believe it was 1983, I was lucky enough to spend a few days with David Gilmore at his place in Redding.
One night after a bunch of us returned from the local pub (The Highwayman) Dave opened up his vault, or guitar closet which was housed under the Studio's control room. He was gracious enough to show us all his private collection. I got to hold the first serialized STRAT ever made.
Priceless I would imagine?

Radar 11, 24, V, VI, are all basically 24 track recorders, The newest model Radar Studio, can run in Radar mode, or any of the DAW's available once loaded in the machine.
I've owned a few of each version.

John, If I could afford it, trust me I'd send ya a ticket, reserve ya a spot, and put ya up for a week, cause that's about what it would take for you to recover from this. Haha
If it was ten years ago, you'd already be here! Hey who knows? Maybe business will pick up... (YEAH RIGHT)
Anyhow, I am thinking about doing a summer "REAL GEAR" get together? Actually working on the lodging thing, but trying to find affordable rooms for lots of people is a no go here.
In my little neck of the woods, it's tuff. As this little village is Millionaire, and Billionaire, central. Nothing is affordable.
Maybe a tent city for a week, I've got enough property for that?
