An evening in a friend's studio...

 
- Argosy desks are awesome.
 
- Altiverb 7 sounds goooooooood. But + $500 good? Nah, I'll stick to Logic's Reverb Designer.
 
- Digital Performer really isn't my cup of tea - as much as I drooled over it for years prior to testing it. Man, I love Logic.
 
- If I had $2500 to drop on a single piece of equipment, a Avalon 737sp could be a worthy contender. Those things love my wife's voice.
 
- In spite of how humble it is by comparison, I'm actually quite happy w/ my own little studio. Throw in a new Mac and, once done with sound treatment, I have pretty much all I need.
 
- Argosy desks are awesome, did I mention.

    Does Altiverb ever go on sale? I'd probably buy it at half price.

    It is a nice piece of software, isn't it? Great sound, great GUI.
     
    I just don't know how Audio Ease manage to survive in today's market. A plug-in that's more expensive than the actual DAW software which you use to run it? A bit strange when you think of it, and realize how many very quality plug-ins are usually bundled with just about every DAW.
     
    I wouldn't feel comfortable putting that much money on a plug-in, honestly. I've seen to many companies buy the farm or discontinue products.
     
    Space Designer which now comes bundled with Logic was originally priced $700. I figure I have all the overpriced reverbs I need. :P  My next reverb if any will be hardware.

     If I had $2500 to drop on a single piece of equipment, a Avalon 737sp could be a worthy contender. Those things love my wife's voice.

    I see something which looks like something ART and a pre called MP1 which I'm not familiar with... Care to elaborate?
     
    As for the Avalon, with it's integrated EQ and opto comp, its a pretty awesome piece of gear. As I said, it seems to love my wife's voice.

    I'd associate ADA with guitar. A friend of mine - brilliant guitarist - is addicted to their stuff. I remember seeing the name on a Metallica album ages ago, and in Guitar oriented magazines, but that's as much as I know about the brand, tbh.

    ADA?
     
     
    ok, here's a couple of quick links:

    http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/a-designs-mp-1a-mono-tube-microphone-preamplifier
     
    mine is an early mono version.
    they quit making that version, and make their infamous stereo version now:

    what cracks me up... when you click the Musician's Friend link,...the item is "no longer available"
    Then the offer "similar items"...  the Manley TNT for $2700 followed by the ART Tube MP for $39. 

    So...the first time shopper.... "let's see.... spend $2700 or $39"...."mmmm   hard decision!!!"
