Listen, I applaud anyone who can make a great sounding piece of audio gear at an affordable price. Brad and Jeff. And yes Eric and Joshua. We we know Stam’s issues concerning delivery dates. This thread got derailed for a bit. Maybe we can get back to discussing the mic itself? Cheers, Geoff I am going to quote myself. Not because I love the sound of my voice or that I was particularly eloquent, but this has been a long thread and perhaps it is either time that what I said actually happens or perhaps we shut this one down and start afresh? I am not the owner of the site, nor a mod. It is not my call in any way. But we’ve gone way off topic in my view into a personal pissing match. Which is now being perpetuated by only one of that parties, at least at the moment. Yeah it allegedly may have some relevance to delays . But can we just get back to discussing the mic? Which I am in no way disparaging. The quality of the product is not the issue here. That is all.

Ok guys.
Its out in the open now.
please stop and take it back and resolve it internally.
it ain’t gonna be solved in an RGO thread. Anything further just makes both of you look bad.
youre both advertisers here, both I think we’ll regarded for your products.
Bickering in public isn’t going to raise your esteem in the eyes of the crowd here.
Imho.
Geoff

Guys,
we get it.
can you take it to PM or PayPal or however you will try and resolve it?
a public forum doesn’t make either of you look good.
Thanks, Geoff

I haven’t gone over there in years.
This place just seems really tolerant, for the most part and the weekend warriors like myself - although I guess I’ve been doing this since 84 so I guess that makes me a slow learner - and the pros and everybody in between are allowed their say.
I guess there isn’t too much of what’s the best x for under $200 here though which helps.
And if you hang here kinda regularly the scale is small enough that you can get to know some of the members experiences and preferences etc which can be helpful.
Once in in a while things get a little heated, but people are passionate about this stuff. Usually things cool off quickly.
So yeah, I’ll stick around here if you’ll have me. That other place? Probably not so much.
Cheers, Geoff

Mark,
I know the journey has been good news mixed with setbacks.
But hoping the recent good news continues. Go Søren!
And you and Katrina too!
Cheers, Geoff

Never updated my DAW. Well, maybe I did. I suck. I probably did, now that you mention it. But like a minor upgrade to Logic. Upgraded the OS and upgraded Logic. And then Waves Central. As far as I know the plug never changed. In my view, if the plug didn’t change, it wasn’t upgraded. I should still be able to use my “lifetime” license. Basically soured me on plugs in general, not just Waves. But never Waves. Never again. Essentially if you want to keep using Waves what you’re saying is you’re locked into your OS and DAW at that version at that moment in time unless you want to keep paying and keep paying. No thanks. I’ll buy hardware from now on, thanks. Cheers, Geoff Don't know if you're even interested but it's possible you actually still have active Waves plugs. Doesn't sound like you really understand/pay attention to the way they do things or when you upgrade DAW/OS (I don't mean that as an insult in any way...) so you might actually still have plugs you can use with your rig. And it's not a given that when you do upgrade your DAW, you lose your Waves stuff. Lots of times you don't. Every so often (like when PT went AAX from RTAS) it happens. Worth checking if you want those plugs. But I agree that hardware is better. Well, some of the plugs went away and some didn’t. So I’m not sure if there was user error on my part or not. I certainly wasn’t expecting what I was doing would result in losing them. We’re going back a few years ago now. I haven’t upgraded anything since specifically so I didn’t lose anything more. I’ll see if I can’t go back to a previous version of Waves central, but I think I needed to upgrade it to buy/use whatever the last plug of theirs that I bought was, and that’s where I lost stuff. Meanwhile missing out on oodles of upgrades to Logic. But honestly, I’ll go back and try a couple things to see if I can access them via a previous version of Waves central, but I’m ready to just write them off and move on. No more Waves for me. The world will keep on spinning. Cheers, Geoof

So I screwed myself by clicking the wrong box once? Lovely. as far as I know I bought lifetime licences. I’d like those honoured. Cheers, Geoff If you don't update your DAW, you can use the license you bought forever. If you change your DAW and it requires a new version from Waves, they charge you after a while. Never updated my DAW. Well, maybe I did. I suck. I probably did, now that you mention it. But like a minor upgrade to Logic. Upgraded the OS and upgraded Logic. And then Waves Central.

Yeah, Wupped. Upgraded my OS, needed newer Waves central or whatever it’s called and $100s of Waves plugs vanished. No more Waves for me. Is that how it works? It’s not like I wanted newer better versions of the plugs if they existed.
Cheers, Geoff

I admit I didn’t. From what I hear I might’ve had to commit stab my ear balls out with a fork if I did.
I guess I’m ok with Kacey what little I’ve heard by her. Anything else worth checking out?
Cheers, Geoff

Ok, from what’s listed on his website I do have some Green Day and possibly Rob Zombie. I do have stuff by other artists he’s worked with, just not the stuff listed. I was actually surprised at the range of artists. I wrongly assumed he was aggressive stuff but there was Dwight Yoakum and Michael Bublé.
Probably l’y not gonna pick up the compressor though.
Cheers, Geoff

Ok. I’ve been hearing CLA’s name for eons. I don’t think I’ve ever bought/been given anything he’s worked on. Gonna go look up his discography. I’m genuinely curious.
Cheers, Geoff

Maybe that was Slate's joke this year. Silence. ;-) That’d probably be a first. I do have and like some of his stuff. The April fools things were kinda entertaining I guess. But focusing on his real products is not a bad thing either. Cheers, Geoff

Did Slate do an April Fools thing today?
or did that run it’s course?

That was good stuff. I’ve pretty much been a one mic on guitar cab kinda a guy but the limiter trick to bring up the sustain and body while the other mic gets the attack and note definition sounds like a fun experiment. donr does the guitar and amp combo sound right to you? I thought I had read somewhere that it was a Twin, but that could very well just be a faulty memory on my part. Wouldn’t be the first time. was fun hearing the stems. I think my high school band got pretty close. I think we may have even had a cowbell. Guiro? Not so much. Cheers, Geoff

Wasn’t it a thread about Jeff/Capi that the mods there clamped down on for no clear reason that prompted the formation of RGO?
I can’t remember exactly what they did, but I’m pretty sure it had something to do with that.
Mr . Kennedy?
Cheers, Geoff

I have the Hairball FET500 revF. They are pretty transparent but still not super clean. If you want really clean a VCA compressor is the answer usually. Getting a bit off topic but the Aphex units, particularly if modded by Jim Williams get good reviews and can be had for low dollars. Can’t remember offhand the model names or numbers- Compellor or Expressor, 651 or 661? Just going off the top of my head. Could be way off. I’m sure a search here would turn up the details or someone will chime in. ok, back to the Audioscape V. Cheers, Geoff

Man, sorry to hear Søren is still going through such a hard time. And that of course means you don’t get a break. And on top of it you have to watch Chevy CHase mugging his way through that video over and over. Ugh. But if it brings Søren some joy?
Hoping better days are just around the corner.

Mark,
Seeing you around here a bit more lately has me hoping Søren is making progress and you and Katrina are able to get a bit of respite from the stress you’ve been under.
Wishing all the best to you and your family.
Geoff
