alrighty,

so i finally got round to firing up my Studer B62 and printed some mixes to it.

she was lovingly restored for me to better-than-factory-spec by Andreas Kuhn in Switzerland and i must say, he did a top notch job.

i don't have an analog console, mixing in PT HD with various outboard, etc. and will really only be using the Studer as a "processor", bouncing out to it and back in for the sound. it's great to be able to use it like this, as an insert in PT, as i can adjust the level i send to tape in steps of 0.1dB.

well, the sound is really nice. creamy, deep, smooth, punchy and, if i want it, all the way to meaty n mashed. loving what it does to the low end. using it in a mastering chain is interesting and bloody good fun.

i'll spend some more time with her today, experimenting with levels, pre and post eq, etc.

aint she a beauty?!
