AllyMusicGirl Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I suppose I can't use any of these on my iMac? http://www.uaudio.com/products/uad-plug-ins.html If not, is there anything similar I can use? I really want that Roland Space Echo! Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 No, you can't use the UAD plugs on your iMac, but Echoboy from Soundtoys can do what the space echo does. http://www.soundtoys.com/products/EchoBoy/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcel72 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 You can get a PCI expansion chassis like the Magma: http://www.magma.com/products/pci/index.html Although that would be a lot of hardware to run... Some software. I just got a bunch of these plugs, they're not bad. For plugins. Pultec EQ is nice. 1176 is OK. Guitar processor is cool... Adds a lot of channel-specific latency though. I guess my computer is probably faster than the card? Compensation works fine for mixing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobS Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 WO that looks cool! It looks like the dashboard of a B17 bomber or something. hahaha I'd love to see that mapped to a Mackie C4. Who makes this? Do they have a demo to sample it and listen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllyMusicGirl Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 lol - yes! I love that old analogue sound! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcel72 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 That's a Quad Eight, isn't it? Where did you get that? Those boards are legendary... I've never had a chance to hear one, let alone mix on one, but I've heard a lot about them over the years. How big is it? Hey, why are you so worried about spending $500 on an FX unit when you can mix on that? You could probably get a mortgage on a Quad Eight...

AllyMusicGirl Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 Oh - heck no! Not my board - just a dream... I wish there was a DAW with all the features of the Quad Eight - Wouldn't that be a banger? A virtual Quad Eight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fader8 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 That's a Quad Eight, isn't it?... If it is, it's the oldest I've ever seen. I mixed on a Quad Eight Coronado when I was at Eastman. It was like heaven. That "could" be an early API I suppose. They used a lot of those clear topped round switches. The ones with the little disc inside that flipped over to change color! Loved those.

AllyMusicGirl Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 Bloody well bonkers! http://www.cinemag.biz/electrodyne/electrodyne_part_2.html I'm serious! Would that be a great plug in? The ability to run your mix through a classic board - I'm wet...lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcel72 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Oh, OK... IME, that 'old analogue sound' comes from one place... Old analogue gear. Some new analogue gear comes pretty close, but digital never seems to. Doesn't mean you can't get great results from it, it's just a different animal. Hence me spending around $8k to date on my Soundcraft Delta 24, I guess, to preserve a bit of that stuff I heard from my parents' stereo when I was a kid. Probably a bit crazy in the ITB world, but I like my choices, and the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcel72 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Hence me spending around $8k to date on my Soundcraft Delta 24 Are these good boards? For the money I think they are. Modular, true balanced line inputs, good bus headroom, low crosstalk. Up there with the best small format mixers around, unless you want to go for an old Neve or API sidecar, which generally go for around $1k per channel. I only paid $2k for mine (24ch, 4 busses, 6 sends, 8 mono returns), and I spent the rest having Jim Williams at Audio Upgrades recondition it. I will have it back next week, so I don't know yet how that will change the sound. Maybe comparable to a Neotek series 1 or a TAC Scorpion (maybe others, these are the only ones I have tried) stock, although the original head amps are a little lacking by today's standards. Change those, re-cap, beef up the power supply, and you have a great board for tracking and mixing. You can get an 8 channel one of these for around $500 if you look around a bit. You're in the UK, right? They're English boards (Herts somewhere IIRC), so there should be some kicking around there, and probably lots of techs about who are familiar with rebuilding and modding them. They're not Quad Eights, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
