[madreza]

Are you sure it sounded right?? no humm or radio??

 

[madreza]

No just sounds great ! No hum, no radio, just a great warm bass And drum sound

Sometimes you can get away with that...lol.

maybe next time you could at least tape those things down... nothing like breaking a PCB in half during a session...

Hope you find some scrap metal laying around to put all that into...good work!

 

[madreza]

I received The rack cases 2 days before The recording And didnt have Time to Put them in !
Even The mic psu s are not finished !
But IT IS ALIVE !

 

[okgb]

Good spirit ! get it up & use it !  Nice !

 

[lowtone]

nice setup, i would like to hear the result

 

[Davo]

That's one hell of a preamp

It looks like when i did my 1272 earlier this week.
It was a mess.
Thanks

Beautiful!

 

[tomas1808]

Looking great!

I see you used both Carnhill and Ed Andersons transformers, am I right?

How would you compare them? Im really interested in Ed's clones but heard next to nothing about them.

 

[madreza]

yep ! as far as it's setup and doesn't move, it works
gain switching is a little hard but , anyway ....
if anyone"s interested, I'll post some files ( no mix ) as soon as I can
@tomas : the carnhill sounds a bit more "detailed" but it's almost the same
ed's trannies sound real great , IMHO I don't think it's worth paying that much money for carnhills !

I can post an A/B I did with an acoustic guitar ( 1 mic , 2 neve preamps with different Input and Output trannies )

gotta go back to work !
Already recorded 6 songs in 2 days, and today our Sound engineer has a terrible headache, so I have to do the recording and the bass playing !!!  :
I NEED HOLIDAYS  ;D

Nice!

I actually understand you, I just can´t wait when I know It´ s working, who cares about looking, it´ s all about the sound!

But with my first builds I´ve learned that usually is better to wait, try, be sure that it doesn´t fail, it´ s nice looking and then make it work in the studio like a champ, looking and sounding awesome. Also, I think a case is more secure and make things easyer, it´ s nice when switches or pots are fixed to something.

I´ ll apply the advice to myself and finish the meter of a La4, paint his case and another for my ssl9k and get them back to the studio. Anyway, congrats for the builds, enjoy them!

[spase]

guitar - Ed Anderson sounds GREAT!!! more open sound...i like with this one...

 

[tomas1808]

Wow thanks for the samples!

Both sound great!

I had my doubts about getting EA's due to lack of "public opinion", but now I know they sound great 

 

[madreza]

Here is the result for the 1st Session I had !

http://www.francktortiller.com/

Voice , Trumpet through U47 / EZ1290
Brass section through 2 U47 A/B 1.50 m from the section with my old Ramsa DA7 preamps
BD is Beta 52 and EZ1290
SD is Beta 57 and EZ1290
OH a ribbon mic ( prodip )  / Ramsa pre 
( no tom mic )

there is almost no comp ( except on voice , bass, snare )
a little Reverb and a nice delay !
that's it

and, that's recorded in my friend's house .... with brass in the living room

 

[madreza]
