really enjoy hanging out in the basement. only annoying part is everytime i wanna record something or just record something quick. I have to turn the entire console on.
mixing stuff on the console is really fun though.

Hey Chamai, nice set up  .  The A&H will give you plenty of routing options.

Where are you guys finding this stuff. Never seen any rocktron stuff in my area

Well I wouldn't say Rocktron equipment grows on trees on the UK but I found the Replifex on ebay.  I found my Intellipitch on ebay also.  I found my Hush IICX on ebay, my Hush Silencer pedal on ebay as well.  All on ebay, because I do not know anywhere else that has this stuff for sale where you can POTENTIALLY get it at a good price.  Reverb seems like a bunch of rip off merchants.  Ebay has them too obviously, but at least very occasionally you can nail a bargain like I did.  You just need to be patient which can be tough  ;)

Its awesome. I decided to just output to the console and mix. I was going in the console before but since I'm just recording by myself, I can't monitor anyways since I'm the only one playing. Gives me a little more flexibility to route stuff in the daw as well. Only downside is I don't get to use the console pre amps.

Hey Chamai, I've got a Behringer Erorack desk (UB2442Fx) that I use for all inputs and outputs.  My monitors run off the main outs.  Mixing down tracks I usually use the confuser as then you can have it remember different mix settings (protools) but all the monitoring is via the desk, so that way I don't get any latency. I use a couple of subgroups to send stuff to different amp/speaker setups, the main one is mixer > B200s > Messa P112s and I route the MB-1, MP-2 and Vox to it/them.  Good for a live jam... but also easy to record as the 1st 8 inputs have direct outs to plug into the 8 in/out I/O.

Hey buddy, I am still learning and discovering new things I can do with the console. kinda miss my buddies but they live in another city. we use to jam a lot. i tried going into console first but it didn't really work for me. again, since i record every instrument myself. unless my wife can monitor drums for me but she im sure she has no idea what that even means. I do like the pre amps on the console. But it's not the end of the world not using it.

i send the snare and the bass drum to 1 bus since they both go through their own 1176 clone, and the other drums/overhead to another bus. other instruments are pretty straight forward.
i think i dug myself deep going analog because i want more preamps and compressors. Yes i know I can use plug-ins. But seeing those VU meters light up on hardware is just awesome. Makes me feel good about myself even though I really don't have a clue what I am doing. I pretty much buy the gear first and figure it out later hahaha.

I am actually taking my guitar rack apart and moving my eventide eclipse and pcm 90 to my console. All i will have left is a pcm 81 and a tri chorus. i prob pick up a spx 90 to handle the detune and stuff. hate to admit, but plug reverbs are pretty damn amazing these days. But i still like hardware coz it looks cool.

i am prob gonna go for a LA2A clone as my next comp and a couple of cheap dbx's just to compress toms. I do want another klark teknic 76kt because they are affordable and they sound damn amazing. but if i decide to ditch the console in the future, i really don't wanna have 3 of the same compressor.

man, I am running out of channels. I wished I had a few more channels I can use. right side of board is dedicated to FX's.

I really wanna give the preamps a shot. Ebay prices are high and some sellers charge a lot to ship to Canada.  We never have the cool stuff here haha

Oof, I think I might have gone overkill.   I just realized I bought 4 guitars in the last 3 weeks.   Maybe closer to 2 weeks.

[rnolan]

Go Zilthy, well I wouldn't call it overkill  :whoohoo!: .

you make it sound like a bad thing  ???

[David Drake]

I fell ya Zilthy.
When it rains it pours_ In the last few months I have marked off of my ASAP wish list and scored some great stuff really cheep, except the Ouad that was probably a premium price but I didn't care it was NOS stock, rare + I wanted it! My moto is never look back you will only see what you missed out on.


Anyway score sheet in the last 3 months = Quadtube 150, Ampulator, Microtube 200, D 1028 delay and a few others that haven't been tested to see if they even work. It's just how it goes. My only grip I've had is a lot of MB-1 stuff has hit and I can't Strech my own grave digging length any farther :D

I've been really Jonesing for a complete ADA speaker set up for my MB-1 preamp as I pimp out as a bass player also. :)

[rnolan]

Hey Dave, what poweramp are you running with your MB=1? Just that I have a US model ADA B500b all fixed and ready to go with MJMP in Belgium if you are interested? 

[David Drake]

At the moment Its fed into a peavy tko 80 as I sold my ampeg set up to buy the Quad-tube and that's all I got left. What you asking as that is the 1st in the building block IMHO of this quest. Here's the Tko 80 live' while a faithful failsafe back up it's not the real deal_
