I. I've since picked up a Tube Tech because they make Blue rack gear. |

What do you mean? You don't think I know how to run this shit do you? I just put every knob on 5 and make coffee. The clients don't know the difference. I got this great plug in from Funk Logic that has that Bob Ludwig setting. I use that and the L1 limiter thingy all the time. The other trick is to put a little bit of flange or reverb on EVERYTHING that comes it. I don't know, it just sounds so ... polished? No, it all sounds the same to me. So, I figure if I have a Requisite (dark red) and those Oakland Raider Silver and Black Manley things, and then the Neon CraneSong things and a bunch of other stuff... well, I was totally without ANYTHING blue. I don't know how I survived. Like I said, I had to get a Tube Tech (because they are blue) because the color imbalance was un-bearable. Cheers, Garrett |

They used to go farther, but the US dollar is barely worth anything. I tried to buy some gear from the UK and the knobs only went to 4.85! |

Lol I visited a local community radio station a few years back to find out why everything sounded like run through a meat grinder..they proudly showed me their master comp in "Bypass Mode", with all knobs neatly pointing to 12 o'clock, just like the tone controls on a HiFi...and then I went nad had some coffee.

For sheer transparency, nothing (sans Funk Logic equipment, that is) beats the Focusrite Red 0. You should check it out, it will give you that "RED" in your rack that you're looking for. Cheers, Tomas Danko Post by: ammitsboel on March 16, 2005, 05:11:51 AM
Was that a joke? Post by: jackthebear on March 16, 2005, 05:34:06 AM
I think it's a safe bet that it is..... Cheers, Post by: dave-G on March 16, 2005, 05:49:55 AM
Probably not. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&i tem=3776923358 - A 'vintage' Red 0 went for 50GBP [/jumping-jesus emoticon] FWIW, I like the Red EQ, mostly for the high shelf and low-mid band .. and the Blue 230 compressor is very nice. .. and very blue. However, I'm lacking in orange gear. In my rack, I've clearly got the other Bozo-the-Clown-colors covered.. and that Crane Song ill-green glow.. Something orange would put me over the top. -dave Post by: Tomas Danko on March 16, 2005, 06:06:48 AM
FYI, the RED 0 is a blind rackplate to fill up gaping holes between other Focusrite RED products. It has identical sonical properties to the Funk Logic range, sans the VU meters. The guy wanted more RED, right? It's as good a red in a rack as anything else... Regarding the Focusrite RED series, for the last two weeks I've been using one of their preamps as a talkback solution. That's my personal opinion on those units. AMEK Purepath CIB's did the real job, meanwhile. Sincerely, Tomas Danko Post by: jackthebear on March 16, 2005, 06:16:06 AM Cheers, Post by: ammitsboel on March 16, 2005, 11:07:40 AM
He he... I tried searching for the RED 0 I guess it's one of the most transparent devices on the marked But yet not transparent to the eye Post by: Alécio Costa - Brazil on March 17, 2005, 10:15:25 PM will colors really matter? Post by: TotalSonic on March 17, 2005, 11:05:12 PM hmmm... looks like an API2500 will fit right in with my "color scheme" too.
