    LA-610 Mk II - a NoNo on Vox?

    I have 4 in my studio. Never use the comps, ever. Think they sound like shit. The 6176 on the other hand, rad.

    The photography thread

    Sold all my Canon gear (5DIII, etc.) and switched to a Fuji X-Pro 1. Absolutely in love with the colours and detail from this thing, dynamic range destroys the 5D. Here's a few shots from Indonesia this weekend.

    The photography thread

    Overcooked, so the actual dynamic range in the image is out of whack. There is no comprehensible shadow / light ratio, everything is visible, where your brain wants to see contrast between light and dark. Looks very much like photomatix has been used. The 3rd image has the best ratio between...

    HM2 filth, Dunnett Snare, mastered by Alan Douches

    Had a lot of fun with this one, what a pain in the ass recording HM2's is! Drums were a Tama Starclassic bubinga, with a Dunnett T1 snare, which has rapidly become my favourite snare of all time. Full album will be out next week, has some guest solos from Justin from Vile, Steve from...

    My first master keyboard

    Depends on your preference. If you want it to feel like you're playing an actual piano, go for something with fully weighted hammer action. However you may find them quite annoying for playing synths and the like, but I'd at least check out something with semi weighted keys, non weighted feel...

    Need help with transferring Windows VST's to Mac

    There's a pretty cool trick to getting this to work, firstly you want to hit option+command+f5, and click the "invert display colours" box. What most people don't know is this makes everything on the Mac opposite, not just the colours, so it will run windows software after you enter in one more...

    New tubes for my 6505

    Agreed. My favourite pre tube setup is Tung Sol in V1, Penta Labs or Shuguang in the rest. Winged C's in the power section, but unfortunately discontinued and now extortionately priced where stock remains available :/ Ruby's did the trick for me before I got into Winged C's also. Will...

    Machine Head production Vlog's (very candid, lots of info!)

    Haha, I find this amusing after watching the drum video as I'm halfway through an album on which I also used our Dunnett T1 and top/side/bottom mic'd it also. Killer fucking snares!
