BTW, is that a real/original U47 you have???
nope, just in a studio we rented (btw, that is my way to go.. you dont have to invent the wheel again with your own studio, just rent the existing ones).

what I dont like about stoneage-gear is the reliablity. we rented the studio 3 days and 2 times one of those 5 U47 they have broke (no sound). they have an inHouse tech who fixed it, but just think about your own studio (mostly without a tech handy).
sidenote: besides that the superb overheating Neve V3 runs hot as a devil.. so weekly maintenance is a must. the whole board needs recapping from time to time.

stop buying those vintage & overpriced stuff and invest in something like a soundelux..

we are way offtopic now.. I am very sorry, but I felt a bit pissed.

Probably alot more high end mics than me.... that however doesnt make you the Queen of England.
Crown missing.. right

again, it's not the gear it's the band/room/producer and you, the mixing/recordingguy. gear makes your life easier (except if you are completly ****ed with the 1001 knobs in your studio).
