If anyone has any decent pieces of hardware that have shone in their dance music please name them and name how.
I'll go first.
Bought an Orban 642b parametric eq from Ebay a few months back, gave it a roll at my mates and it is awesome, even on his uber e setup, super-clinical, very clean and generally very good bang for buck.
If anyone has had any experience with SSL clone compressors i'd like to hear about them |

hardware FX? Just uad UAD or Waves. :P
Using a hardware FX unit is way too much of a PIA. I'm willing to accept an un-noticeable degradation in sound quality by using my UAD plugs. |

Do we have to own it? =]
If not I think it would be safe to say Mr. Culture Vulture. |

I don't own it myself but we used Briscasti Reverbs (m7) on many film projects.
Nothing sounds as good as them on strings. Nothing. Ever has. Should do too at $1700 per channel. We did use lexicon 970's but these have been bumped to second choice.
In terms of preamps, we used the Never 1081r on most projects for the crucial close mic lines and the desk for the rest.
They do what they're meant to - clean gain, clear sound and very versatile.
the manly Dual mono DI gets used for nearly every project along with the avalon design U5 as per the talents taste.
There's also a giant SPL passive eq but it never gets used :wtf: |

Thats a waste of money. Maby you can try to sell it and buy you self a soft compressor. |

| it cost me like 100USD or something so i might just as well keep it. might get use of it someday. i dont really need anything new either atm. |
