Re: good mixer

tbh I do remember the EQs being fairly weak when using one, only -10dB or so. Not really a dealbreaker but when you're used to modern mixers with strong or full-kill EQs it does require a change in technique.

Re: how to...start a new label

I walked into a record store the other day and it was mid aged balding guys. It used to be young people. I walked away thinking it's more about nostalgia and people who think it's cool to play a vinyl record then anything else. It's like opening a video rental store only selling VHS tapes and VCR's...

Re: Shed Interview: 'No hardware anymore'

I dunno if I'd say I'm disappointed, there's nothing stopping his sort of sound being made with powerful modern software just because it's quite raw and 90s sounding.

Guess you'd be avoiding that bit with your idea. That Rodec 5-channel is pretty tasty, if I ...

Re: SHED Video Feature

I also recently heard that Truncate/Audio Injection is all software now... nothing stopping you from doing dark and raw without hardware, it seems :)

Re: good mixer

The Nuos are nice and sound good, but every single one I've used have had crackly/not working cue buttons after a while. Don't know if they've fixed the problem, but I've seen enough Nuo's to know that it is a real problem. Funny you should say that, my cue/mix knob is starting to crackle quite bad...

Haha I agree but I know a few people who have them, good to get the hang of if you intend to play in a lot of clubs I guess!
