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

well, I really didn't know. You guys are the experts on this stuff. I am glad you talk about it. You turned me on to the MTA stuff, and as soon as I have some cash, I am getting that channel strip. I think a dbx160 as well. So I do have faith in vintage sound, it's the funtionality that I am turned off to. Don't many studios mix fom protools back through the console though, and use hardware comps etc.? Are there any new consoles that have a vintage sound, but compliment it with automation and routing options? When I say vintage, I know everything has it's own character, but are their any new boards coming out with the ability to add vintage eq and comp modules?

well, i guess some people like to play vintage les pauls thru an old Orange stack & some like a new guitar with a rack of super-dupa new guitar bits & bobs... there's no accounting for taste

just to add, there is many older boards with automation, i've used neve & harrison automated desks & their routing is fine too - and you can add vintage eq or comps etc to ANY setup, it's not dependent on the board at all.

here's a quote from butch vig in this months sound on sound. he's talking about producing garbage. (ho ho ho)

"we use pro tools as our main medium, that's where evrything ends up, but we still track a lot to analogue tape (studers). When we started the record, (an engineer) discovered an old Trident A-range desk for sale. We weren't looking for one, but i've worked on Tridents before, and we love old boards like APIs, Neves and Tridents.

.... we tracked everything through it. It's an amazing sounding board: whether you need EQ or not, if you just insert it into the channel it adds all this character and colour. It gives a thickness and darkness to some of the songs, the tonality of it really colours the sound in a good way."

hear a lot about fairchild camps that cost $20k, any photo's?

also Neve 3300996 or somthing? forgot the actual model. Never seen one, so I guess these things are just that rare that only the top srudios can afford them. Just curious if there have been any knock offs made over the years that do a good job emulating either of these comps.

well, if you want a neve you�ll have to get a neve. or a focusrite mebbe. or amek also mebbe. but its not the same.

for 1176/1178, there�s a bunch of h/w copies around, usually much less expensive than manley.

as for fairchild, i dont think i�ve ever heard of modern day replacement. and i�ve ever only met one person who actually used one. its also supposed to weight 20 kilos, picture that.

as for new stuff that sounds old, joe meek comes to mind. nice sound and affordable. even the cheap units have the sound of their more expensive models. unlike what i�ve heard about TLA and focusrite.
