Just thought i would chuck my hat In and say that I have no doubts about the incredible sound and headroom as well as low noise for the HCL GEar I have bought So far the Faust and Velvet - really wonderful - in normal terms on a dynamic acoustic recording session you need stuff that is your friend - has head room and compressors that work without you really feeling the sound change - low noise also for the spaces and stops - I am in the process of selling all my old studio stuff compressors etc so i can buy more HCL simple as that - I trained at Lansdowne Studios in London as an Engineer in the days of the Cadac console so I am used to recording acoustic - real stuff [ Madredeus have sold over 3 million albums worldwide ] and I have to say the HCL offers real sound not processed nonsense . Well done you guys - and by the way the last album I recorded with Madredeus has just gone Gold after 2 months on sale only in PT - so there is a lot to be recommended . Just thought i owuld give a heads up
If you are a serious audio engineer give this stuff a go its possibly the best you will hear /use
