$75 on craigslist :headbang:
 
^Judging from how long you've been a member of the forums, I was under the impression you already owned decent monitors :lol:
Congrats!
 
Very interesting...... How does it sound?
It sounds amazing! The dynamics and response, so much like a tube amp... and the speaker breakup feature is killer! Even on high gain tones just roll off the volume and it's CLEAN.

Loving it so far for classic rock/metal clean, crunch and lead tones. I don't expect it to do djent and honestly I don't even want it to... for all the modern metal stuff my Pod Farm 2 does a great job.

I think you can still find it on eBay, the seller had a few to sell. Demo it and I guarantee you'll buy it within 10 minutes :p
 
Both actually. That was the deciding factor in getting this camera, the fact that it does HD recording. I'm hoping to use it to kick start a series of tutorials about music production, but we'll see..... also, more gear porn photos for the site.

@Ola: Thanks man! It was quite a ride looking for the right camera, but I hope I made the right choice here.

Killer camera. I've had one for a couple months now (it's known as the T2i in the US).

The video looks great, although getting past the quirks of using a DSL for video takes a bit of getting used to. For tutorials and stationary uses, it'll be great.

And do you know why? :lol:
Because I fucking hate that the Preamps of my FP-10 (which I use solely as a 8xMic Preamp) are on the front :p
Plus I always wanted a phase, lowcut and phantompower switch per channel. And I can use it with the Fireface's A/D section (for now), because it has analog outputs and if I get more analogue preamps I can connect the Octamic via ADAT and have 6 ok-quality A/D channels on the FF. And I got it used for a very nice price. Not so useless after all, I guess.
I was tempted by the Mackie Onyx 800r and the Audient ASP 008 (with AD) as they're said to have better preamps.. But they have no fucking analog TRS outputs and I want those. Plus they're fucking expensive and I like the RME pres.


Can you do a comparison of the RME and and FP-10 preamps? It would be so great....I've got 2x Fp10 and thinking about switiching to M-Audio or stuff like this.

Sorry for the width, it was the best pic of a single Distressor I could find!

Got the DBX 160 sitting next to me too, in bubble wrap. I'll take it to the tech to sort out the power re-winding/wiring this week.
