hi Paul! i loved "The Studio Monitor Conspiracy" article. Good read and very enlightning!

Hey Paul, whenever you have a minute I'd like to know your opinion on two different masters of a song I've prepared. Its called 13 Roses. Idk how to link it to here but its in my recent posts. thanks man.

hi paul,

I was reading some of your post on live bands and there sound at gigs. I am from london and i am trying to desperatly sort out my bands sound at gigs and in practice.
Would you be bale to explain in depth the setup and positioning of amps and mics at practice eg which way they are facing. We have two guitars and its just a noise now beacause i feel everything is too loud. if you could tell me the best way to go about rehersals and also for live gigs like how loud volumes should be and bass, mid treble ion guitars and bass guitar i would be really greatfull.
you can hear some of my stuff on Checkpoint Charlie | Facebook

Hi Paul,
Are you selling a preamp? Could you tell me what it is and the price?
Cheers Chris

Hi Paul,
Yes thats right, the CS has 200 series,Legacy Audio - API (Australia) They sell for $2621 same price actually as the 7600 Ebay doesnt look to be any better so might as well go to AUS reseller. After recently purchasing Focal Solo 6 monitors and UAD-2 card and most of the plugins im in a good place now to add to the pre amp stage. And i have read your posts regarding guitars and the 512c and have ben quite keen on trying this as your posts were so similar to what i have been getting.. . I have Gibson SG/Firebird and a Marshall 100 Watt Lead and it has taken huge amounts of work to get "That Tone" still not there yet where you go...'Wow" but getting there, so keen to try the API.
Cheers Paul.

Hi Paul,

thanks very much for the information, i seem to only just stumbled uponmessage now, so sorry ofr the delayed response. Yeah i own a Shure smb it does need a good pre for recording, and a AT4050,SM57,58 and a Rode Nt2 (dont like this one much) The other option i have been investigating is a channel strip, one that i have been looking at is the API 7600as you get the 2 channels eq and comp (any thoughts on this one? )as your the API man about recording review it seems! . And i must say the API gear does appeal to me.

thanks a lot.. Feegs

Hey Paul,

I have read quite a fe posts and you seem quite sold on the API 512C etc. I am looking at getting a pre and have looked at the 512c but they require the lunchbox 6 slots which makes the purchase more costly,. i was looking at the ISA Focusrite One pre as i dont really need to record more then one channel (recording guitars and bass, vocals) any reason to spend the extra cash on the API over the Focusrite?? Any thoughts?

Cheers Feegs

hi do u think if i send some stuff you could help me mix it or give me some pointers.

Hey man! You said you wanted to hear the techno song through the harrisons, so last night I wasn't busy, and I remixed the entire song with my normal studio gear. Here's a link:

Let me know what you think. It's quite different.

Hey Brother, I have a quick question for you. I am getting ready to update my overheads. I have a few options but the two that have floated to the top are AEA R84 matched pairs or Mojave MA200s. I have one MA200 now. If I go to the ribbons I would more than likely buy the AEA TRP dual preamp. If I go with the MA200 then I would buy pres too. So here is the question, I am looking into preamps for this set up and am thinking either a pair of Shadow Gamas or 512c in lunchbox. What are your impressions of the two different pres (I believe you have both right??). I am leaning toward the Gama simply for the variation in iron/steel that the unit gives you. I am sure that either would get other duties (guitar for one) but for the kit they would be just for overheads. So what do you think, now that you have used them, if you were to go back and pick one, which would it be??
