Fair enough... i know the answer to my own questions anyway.
I'm kinda funny that way...

Athens was a huge lift to this forum but he's been more-or-less chased off. Too bad.

One more thing about the 315. Anyone can say what they want about the focusrite tone but there is simply NO other EQ that I'm aware of that can add a modern voluminous character to a track. it's not glue... it's not level.. it's a non-descript character that fills in frequency holes like nothing else. Tighter with more smear than a Sontec. Less sweet but sits in the pocket more.

Just finished a rock track and it wasn't close to being done until the 315 was in.

TJ uses one on everything he does as of late. I can hear it as easily as picking my kid out of a picture full of strangers.

I didn't see any weiss stuff though. I wouldn't feel right sayin to much.
There is a pretty long thread on GS were Chris Athens gets into some details.
For the most part we were concentrating on the task at hand.

Cheers, TW
