im super stoked to have the end all system for my needs, HD3
next will be tons of expensive outboard gear.
got my eyes on vintech remakes, and some outboard compressors so far
just curious man, but why are you going for the HD3 rig?
in my experience, that's really only necessary if you need more channels of i/o - an HD2(or even HD1 with the 8-core mac) should be able to run shit tons of tracks/plugs with no latency

because im getting 50% off all of this stuff
and by upping it to hd3, i get 192 interface with another a/d expansion built in
at another 50% off
im getting hd3 (3 core cards) with 192 + extra a/d for only 10 thousand

Yes Sir!
Dope!
So when can I come play on all your new toys.
Also I know you had a preamp thread, but check out the Presonus adl 600 pre. I just got one and it sounds so good. Get you some tube flavor in that outboard!!!

i was thinking more like a la610
well hey shit there you go then i guess...if the price is right, jump on that shit
also, i would guesstimate that you probably wouldn't like the preamp in the LA610 all that much, but the LA-2A-style comps are pretty sweet
for the type of shit you're doing, i would put the $$ on an 1176 before anything else though - either that or a distressor, but i don't have any actual hands-on experience with those bitches

Lover of all boobage.
i tend to compress in the box
so thats why im talking about pre's / strips
but i do need better pre's

I'm so pissed at the price you're getting for this.
I paid $6k for my HD1 card and another $2k for a 192. oh and $1k for a 96. ughhh.
sell me one of your accel cards, you don't need hd3 :Smug:
ps I had a Vintech 273 and didn't like it much. Too saturated and dark for this type of stuff. API 3124 is the way to go

if that's the case, i def. wouldn't get the la610 for the preamp alone
if anything, just get the solo 610...it's a great pre for bass, and sometimes vox or other random stuff, but i wouldn't use it on guitars/drums - at least not for the styles you're working in
depends which clones you're talking about...i've used the brent averill 1073 modules, and they're sweet as fuck - but for like $3500/channel they better be
then there's the vintech stuff, which i've heard mixed reviews on, but never used - and of course you already have 1 channel of great river
i think i might've mentioned it a while back, but the great river pres are pretty well a neve-based design - they took the 1073 schematic and played around with it a little bit and updated the components since a lot of the original caps, transformers, etc. aren't available anymore

finding a faithful reproduction of API pres is tough
really the only thing i know of that's considered close are the seventh circle audio kits, but you have to DYI those bitches or pay them to build them for you - and if you do the math, 4 channels of pre-built SCA API clones cost more than an API 3124
you could get 4 channels of vintech or other neve clone for maybe $5k
or 2x API 3124, which is 8 channels, for the same. (used or ebay stores)
