I was at the 3rd workshop last week, and let me tell ya....
IT KICKED ASS!!!
Michael has a WEALTH of knowledge. I learned more in those 9 days than the last 5yrs on my own. My head's still spinning.
I don't know why I have such a long shopping list now for something that's 'not about the gear', but I guess that's why most of us hang here.
I will DEFINITELY attend again in the future.
It's worth it, just to listen to the mic comparison's on snare/kick/OH's/gtr's/etc... (Hell, it's worth it just for the food we ate every night)
FAVORITES OF THE WEEK:
Drum sub compression (TG-1 EMI comp)
SPIDER (Drum sub AND guitar tracking)
Massive Passive - just glorious sounding
Volcano Roll (nice 'n' spicy)
STC-8 (just got one myself)
Big Daddy roll (name says it all)
Groove Tubes condensers (picked up TWO at a used shop while down there)
ATC Tube Traps (VERY USEFUL)
Seared white tune (maybe the weeks favorite)
ADAM S3-A's (REALY going in to debt now)
IBP's (again - VERY useful)
Michael showing us how he/we use the above!
I'm sure I've forgotten some favorite gear (forgive me), but as I said before, my head's still spinning.
WORTH EVERY PENNY AND THEN SOME!!!
