Yeah the camera is a zoom Q3 and I just left the auto gain/ limiter on. The video was copy and pasted parts, because studio A was being used when I went through studio B.
And yeah thanks, I knew they were mid field. I had a lot of herp derp moments during this video (lol "Newman" and "Struder" fucking killed me).
I visited one day and Ron shows me into another room at their old location and says "look what I got for $7k". Tells me they are speakers some rich dude was using in his home theater! But apparently the wife said they had to go because they didn't match the redecorating!
As far as the ISA 430s: They are one of the most common mic preamps this studio uses next to the benchmark and Boutique Audio Design Neve pres.
Wish I could remember what kind of 1176 compressors those are, because they have a 2:1 ratio setting button which is obviously not on the original design 1176.
