Audio Gear Wet Dreams

[Depone]

Ok, so what is on all your dream wish lists? anything goes (keep it audio production) Just imagine you have an infinite amount of money to spend on your dream setup, what would it be ?

Pictures would be cool, and please don't be jokers and post up pics of a 80 walkmans or something (although that may appeal to some people here! )

I want one of those 400,000 dollar mixing desks they have at big ass studios.

[Sharmaji]

meh, my bass players alesis 3630 sounds just as good

for real though-- the few times i've had my mitts on a proper fairchild, it's been life changing. it's the 1 bit of gear out there that will make something sound the way you envisioned it.

macc'll tell you i think it's 'hairy'

This studio is my wet dream, everytime I look at it I cry


I couldnt even afford that chair

Other than that it would be hardware effects..... and a nice desk

[nowaysj]

This thread, for a recovering gear whore, is a bar to an alcoholic. I'll stay outside.

[deadly_habit]

i can go on for ages

[collective]

mmm pultec.
mmm rhodes.


feel that, luckily i have gotten to live in a spot with a studio that housed a few gems like those. I would kill for some.


I'd like an 1176 right now pretty bad, or a nice manley.

[collige]

808
909
303
machinedrum
monomachine
something to play all that shit on


I'm easy to please.

[Tangka]

just a 'UGE custom sound system tbh, and a medium warehouse in the cuts would be great as well. some day, i pray

you know what's funny, my first reaction is obviously wow, and i know it would be FUN, but i can't really imagine sitting there making music. i'd rather be here in my room in oakland...

That is real world studios in Box, just outside of Bath (http://realworldstudios.com/)

I was lucky enough to go there withy my college. Yeah that main room looks like the star ship enterprise, but the other recording spaces are INSANE. They have a 'wood room' so you can record your drums in a big old empty wooden barn. (http://realworldstudios.com/Recording_S ... ooden_Room)

read it up, its crazy.

[gravity]

i just posted loads of shit and my browser just fucking vanished

anyway, no pics this time...

an ems vcs3, an alesis andromeda, a sequential circuits pro 1 (and a midi-cv converter), a thermionic cultre vulture, a fairchild compressor, an elysia m-pressor, a pair of 1176's, an emt plate, a roland space echo or a copycat or something like that, a great british spring, a neve or ssl desk, a studer multitrack reel-to-reel, some barefoot monitors and a superbly treated room, plus loads more shit that i cant think of right now.

[bass hertz]

Mint condition Roland d20 was on my list from 1993 to 2009. Picked it up last year off ebay.

Yeah its a crazy place, it would be so enjoyable mixing a track in that room. Very jealous you went there too

[Sharmaji]

isn't real world the one that's got the stream running under a glass floor?

having spent untold hours in dark, stuffy boxes of studios working on music-- that'd be a nice change.

and I'd rather have the STAFF @ real world than try to figure out what to do w/ a 128-channel SSL that would cause my apartment building to cave in... and shut down the electricity.

incidentally how is that compressor (3630) for a shitty sounding compressor? i don't know much about hardware compressors but i've heard of people using the 3630 in dance music, although i don't know if they're being serious or not because everywhere else it seems to be shitted upon. i wouldn't want a transparent compressor, i'd be just running an mpc, machinedrum and micron into it. nothing fancy.


any on my to buy list hardware wise is the access virus ti snow and possibly the dave smith tetra.

this insane C64 mod:


and a MIDIbox SID, of course:
