How much?

TheSweetener · 24th July 2005

There were some auctions on Ebay Germany. It's not cheap stuff!

Chrisac · 24th July 2005

With all due respect to the company and the designers of these products which I am sure are great, its just the PR skills need to be worked on a little bit. If your going to sell your products internationally it might be a good idea to get someone to write your site in English a bit better. I know that may sound nit picky, but image of the company is important as well.

And as a suggestion, it would be a good idea to send a trusted forum member(s) some of your units for review. Im sure Jules wouls know someone trustworthy.

Anyway, I wish you all the sbest with your products

HandCrafted Lab · 25th July 2005

Thanks for kind words. Yes, we make devices better, than we talk English - but we correct it soon. On other hands - when all very beautifully and correctly written - but devices are not... . Once again thanks for support.

A guy named Drago Baotic from Berlin posted something on de groupdiy forums about their preamp http://www.prodigy-pro.com/forum/vie...=8604&start=15 . Maybe you can contact him.

I'd also like to know how good this equipment is compared to the more expensive stuff.

O.K. Let`s try discuss this - please ask us about details of deal.

HandCrafted Lab · 14th August 2005

We prepare for manufacture for the new device - Voice Processor/Channell strip, is possible with AD/DA converters. In all a question - what type of an equalizer is more preferable in opinion of the user? And whether the equalizer in general is necessary?

On a channel strip, I think a lo/hi pass is nice + a simple but sweet sounding EQ, perhaps Pultec type.

C/G · 16th August 2005

The Leveller looks cool. Seems like a great price too. Anyone try it?

Is that around $1050 in US funds? The comma marks don't translate on XE.com currency converter.

HandCrafted Lab · 16th August 2005

Yes,around this price.If buy more,than one gear - we propose discount.

HandCrafted Lab · 19th August 2005

And what have mind else about EQ at Voice Processor/Channel Strip?

7 Hz · 19th August 2005

Just what he said I think... keep the EQ simple and functional. A high pass / low pass with varible damping if possible, and maybe a passive mid section.

Transformer input (low noise, clean, good rejection), then a simple, broad and good sounding eq, then a nice compressor / limiter that sounds a bit like overloading analogue tape.

Send me one or two when you are done, I'll tell you (and the world) what I think of them!

Handcrafted,

Could you make something like this?

http://ftp.ampex.com/ampex/manuals/audio/mx35man/

Perhaps updated somewhat with a few new features?

HandCrafted Lab · 30th August 2005

Making device in 1 piece - no more workable - PCB,Front Panel, TIME,readiness of manufacturing.
Because,we have almost all gears set for need studio already - including tube line mixer REALITY.
We make this our mixer on mini militari twin triodes - pretty tubes. That is is checked up in work and manufacture the device - which always arranged our clients on quality and sounding (including at the price of - against 7.000-10.000$ known brands) - there was a case when the client has sold him known mixer and has ordered to us mixer with 32 line channells. :-)

For what it's worth, I've started working on the english traslations for the site. Should have something nice, quite soon.

Johnny B · 30th August 2005

That's nice. Probably a feature list, spec sheet, and pricing in Euros, pounds, and US dollars would be among the first things to translate and state clearly.

HandCrafted Lab · 8th September 2005

Nice audio demos.
