a buddy of mine is about to invest in a really nice studio, and I'm looking for info on various old, warm, high end consoles. Not like SSL/Gamble type prices, but definately over the $100,000 mark. I know some of the stuff below that, but I'm kinda in the dark on the really high end. I know convertors, and the digital medium fairly well, but need more info on what, where and how much, before sinking re

and at that age, how many channels are buzzy and shorted, and how many connecters are crusty etc... old is great, but if I was putting together a studio I, would rather buy a newer console for that kind of cash. Isn't this stuff just for the excentric collector, or are new studios stocking older gear in case their clients ask for it?

eh?.. api are still alive & going strong... you'd rather have a budget console eq than api?.. you're insane..

(from sos site)

Automated Processes Incorporated (API) are not particularly well known in the UK, but the company possesses an impressive reputation for its very high-end studio equipment. In the States, API started off in 1968 manufacturing audio broadcast and recording studio consoles, and many are still in daily use over thirty years later! The company has many significant technical milestones to its credit, including the first computerised console fader automation system (1973) leading on to the first programmable console with automation of EQ, aux sends, pans and faders (1974). This system, far ahead of its time, was eventually known as Total Recall. In 1991 API also produced the first console using touchscreen computer assignment for resetting switches across the console. API joined the ATI Group two years ago, a group which also owns Uptown Automation Systems, manufacturers of moving-fader automation systems. ATI has been at the forefront of high-performance audio manufacturing since 1988 and produces the Paragon live mixing console, and a range of audio processors based around proprietary high-voltage preamp designs and a patented compressor circuit.

(uptown automation could be fitted to boards like Trident)

ATI Group to Build on TAG Relationship

With the turbo-charged pace of professional audio today, it's rare for a manufacturer to take time out to spotlight the contributions of a sales and marketing partner. But recently, the ATI Group did just that, acknowledging Transamerica Audio Group (TAG) as a key contributor in its success over the last decade.
Working together on a wide array of successful sales and marketing initiatives, the ATI Group and Transamerica Audio Group have amassed an enviable string of success stories since linking up almost five years ago. As national distributor for the ATI Group, TAG was instrumental in bringing the venerable line of rack-mounted products back to the forefront of the recording industry.
Over the years, the combination of ATI's visionary design and TAG's focused approach to sales has truly put both organizations on the map. Today, as ATI consolidates its sales and marketing efforts in-house, and TAG redirects its focus on an expanding client base and rep network, the two companies are proud of the work they've accomplished together.
"I've been fortunate to work with Paul Wolf to help revitalize API Audio, one of the most respected names anywhere," says Brad Lunde, president of TAG. "It's been a terrific experience representing both API and ATI over the past few years -one which I'll always be proud."
ATI Group president Larry Droppa agrees. "So much of our recent success owes much to the hard work and innovative thinking of Brad Lunde. Brad's sales skills are rooted in understanding the particular needs of users. He's paved the way for future growth of our product lines in top studios across the country."
As of January 1, 2002 all sales of ATI, API Audio and Uptown Automation is under the direction of Dan Zimbelman and an expanded in-house sales team.
The ATI Group is the parent company of Audio Toys Inc., API Audio and Uptown Automation. Audio Toys manufactures the industry leading Paragon mixing console and associated rack mount gear. Uptown Automation manufactures and installs moving fader and mute automation for analog mixing consoles. API Audio remains the leader in analog recording gear, including the famed Legacy console and the 500 Series rack mount gear.
Transamerica Audio Group was founded by industry veteran Brad Lunde, former director of worldwide sales and marketing for Aphex and national sales manager for JBL Professional Systems Group. Based in Las Vegas, the company handles premier pro audio products requiring an advanced level of marketing expertise and technical prowess. TAG's product lines include Drawmer signal processing equipment, SoundField microphones, Brauner tube microphones, Soundelux Microphones, GML (George Massenburg Labs), Sequerra Labs, FMR Audio, and AEA.

I dunno, the pro-tools set-up looked ok, but it sounds like most of you haven't worked on much old stuff, if any. I haven'tworked with what I consider to be a particularly large amount, but with what I have used, I can tell you that although ProTools is fast and super-convenient, it does NOT have nearly the same sound as an old warm board, and tape. Yes, doing things on tape is a bitch, but the sound, especially with other good tools like a solid EQ and comp, if you know how to use them halfway decently, is incomparable. Please keep more old porn coming. Thanks K.
