Be interested to know your equipment list. Can see what look like 2x S3000XL but the rack is a bit out of focus so can't see much else in terms of hardware. | |

Bit more advanced than my set-up 
Partners in Crime studio (aka Ricky Magic Martin's loft).
1x Atari ST with Cubase v3 (old but does the trick. Got a PC awaiting a nice soundcard, midi interface and audio interface...just need a nice bonus from work!)
1x S3000XL (32mb)
1x Emu planetphat
1x Alesis 3630 Compressor
1x Behringer Composer
1x Zoom RFX-2000
1x Soundcraft FX16 desk
1x Tascam DA20 Dat machine
Basic, but we seem to get the most out of what we have... | |

yeh to be quite honest with you i dont like the soundcraft desks, the eq is weak and i dont like the feel of the desk, but im sure you get half decent mixes out of it... Ive also got a tascam dat and a marrantz cd recorder which i didnt list... im not fond of the planetphat (tried one out at james lavonz studio) and i dont like the alesis compressor either bro... used that compressor on hobsons choice vocals in slammin studios back in 97 and its .. ermm gluggy , the budget compressors that are really good are the beringer comp and the DBX one... they just seem to have more leaverage than the alesis ones.. but saying that, i found the alesis on hard knee was pretty good on bass.
If you know anyone selling any bits and pieces, give me a shout =) | |

| Yes, very impressive but...
I find it difficult to get excited about such things these day's.
I've been producing since 1989 and between then and 1999 I amassed a decent set up.
This has all now been completely replaced by software and VST plugins... I'm achiveing results that match (and some would say exceed) a room full of hardware.
Apart from live acts, I can't understand why anyone would need so much hardware when computers pack so much punch. (All my hardware is boxed up in cupboards now.)
It's software studio's that flip my swiches now, thats where all the cutting edge advancements are happening... (Although I concede that they don't have the 'wow' factor of walking in a room full of hardware, but then you have to ask yourself why you're in this game? To make music or impress your mates?) | |

your wrong in saying that... digital audio as it stands at the moment can't replace the sound of analogue audio. | |

No... I stand by what I said in my previous post, however I take your point about analogue audio (I assume you mean synths and effects) I neglected to consider these, but as you rightly say, digital audio cannot 100% replicate analogue however, it's pretty darn close...Close enough for me not to worry about it too much.....(Correct me if I'm wrong but there don't appear to any analogue synths in the 1st photo you posted which is why I didn't mention them.)
My analogue modeling synths and FX sound better than anything I could afford 5 years ago..... | |

Tux,
there's a juno 106 (analogue) plus a wack of analogue modeling synths.
But really, where analogue shines is tube compression, etc. etc.
So far, nothing has the same "feel" to it. no matter what the ads say.
But you're right, it's close enough and accessible enough to compete, especially for those of us who can't justify owning a room full of gear, or don't have the space/expertise with real synths, etc.
I'll post a pic of mine someday...it's pretty decent for my modest budget/space/skill...and no, none of it was bought to impress anyone
(that's what my flash new avatar is for ) | |

I didn't see a Juno 106 at first but I assume you mean the shaded synth on the right in the 2nd picture?
...Excuse me for being picky, but theres two points; firstly, analougue modeling synths aren't analogue. That Woldorf Q in the pic for example is as digital as an old Roland D50, it just that digital technology has come along way since 1987.
Secondly, while the Juno 106 is a beautiful machine, it's not strictly analogue either in the fact that it had digital ocsillators to prevent tuning drift (some analogue die-hard's would argue that the unstable tuning of true early analogue's were part of their charm.) The 106's filters and amplifiers were indeed analogue, but this synth was part of a cluster of hybrid synths that came out in the early to mid eighties from the likes of Korg, Roland, Sequential, Oberhiem and one or two others.
I take your point about analogue processing though, I think the best way round that is for software designers to incorporate some kind of analogue insert to accomodate such effects if desired.

I'm staying out of this argument, because its pointless, i preffer analogue as far as i am concerned it gives a better sound... you cant beat an SSL desk. plain and simple..
anyway, there isnt a 106 in any of the pics, sen was just randomly talking about it. and as for the 106 "not strictly being analogue".... since when did Velocity Solid state logic transistors become digital because as far as i was aware, they are analogue.. tux your wrong there mate. | |

Sorry mate, after re-reading my last post I probably didn't explain myself very well...
The Juno 106 is one of the great classic analogue's. It's oscillators were analogue (as in they wern't samples) but were controlled by digital circuitry.
This is why 'technically' they're not analogue but hybrid because they incoroporated two different technologies, the front panel even refers to them as DCO's. But hey, we're splitting hairs here, like I said, the digital circuits were included to 'shore up' the tuning rather than directly affect the sound.
...so I recon that makes us both right JJ... 
As for your comments on SSL desk's, well you seem to have me down as some evil 'anti analogue' monster when that is certainly NOT the case. I've no need for an SSL simply because I'm into cutting edge dance music, which IMHO has always sounded a little rough round the edges and evolved on modest setups. If I was recording live band's for the charts or full orchestra's (and I had 30 + grand to splashout on one!) then I'd gladly use one!

Quite like the drum sounds of the Phat, but would prefer a 1080 or a Proteus for lead sounds. The Soundcraft desk is OK - again, it's making the most of what you have (and our budget was small). Our mix of It's The Way just got Single of The Month in Ministry mag, and came out of our ickle studio | |
