Did you not thing of grabbing a bigger desk with onboard EQ etc? I'd find that quite limiting.
I liked the idea of a GSR24 with motorised faders via firewire and the valve channel but it's just too much money to justify.
I'll end up with either a ZEDR16 or Mackie 1640i. They'll obviously not sound quite as nice as an SSL, but I think the extra features make up for that. For me anyway. |

I probably will keep on using cubase for EQ and FX
I'm trying to get full analogue but multichannel eq's are expensive
So first step will be:
Source > Alphalink > desk for mixdown
Stage 2
Source > desk direct outs > Alphalink > desk alt ins for mixdown
The 2nd setup allows me to mix either DAWless or via daw back into mixer
Dawless is the ultimate goal, but i would need at least 6 stereopairs of EQ to setup on inserts. Maybe some dbx , dunno yet |

Yeah but I reckon it'd be cheaper to buy a decent analogue desk with EQ per channel already on it than multiple outboard.
Just check this out, reading the specs.
Then tell me you don't want it :p

Remember I had the ORAM Trident? Sounded very different from the SSL, A&H is Mackie + intergrated controller territory. I.e. No balanced inserts for starters
The superanaloque path of the SSL is unrivaled same as their Maxtrix and bigger units
That's 20k€+ if you want that equiped as rich as the A&H but SSL quality |

Since I don't have matrix or x-rack money, i'll settle with esquisite gain staging and summing, using the Daw as backend for automation and EQ / FX
I've also looked at 4x GoldenAge EQ73 (NEVE CLONE)
http://www.recording-microphones.co.uk/GA%20EQ73.shtml
but i'll think for now settle with analogue front end, digital backend and all sequencing done via Genome and Cirklon, both clocked via the Innerclock SyncGen II Pro |

You know Golden Age do a decent Neve style pre-amp and also a compressor now as well?
I bet you could get a really nice used SSL or Neve desk for about £20k you know....... |

| yeah, but then the maintenance, I like virgin gear and either hug it, or flog it. |

| I think you just like the chase ;) |

| No, there is definately a strategy behind it :D |
|

| tehlord |
Me too. My strategy is want more stuff, buy more stuff.
I think it's working too. |
