Next Piece of Gear?!?!?!?!?

[Da Leader]

Hello my fellow sluts!

I am a gear slut just like all of you. I basically record RnB and Hiphop! I have a cool list of gear and I probably dont need anything else but what can i say? Im addicted to buying gear!!! At the moment I am getting my instrumentals from soundclick.com and just recording vocals and sitting them in the mix properly (or at least trying to). Sooner or later I will be tracking my own beats inside of pro tools and mixing them.

Lately I've been looking into getting a Manley Massive Passive (mastering version), Sony C800GPAC (been eyeing this mic for 2 years), Retro Instruments 176, Manley Slam, SSL Matrix or SSL Nucleus, Bricasti M10 Remote and some sort of summing amp/mixer. As for the summing amp/mixing I was looking at Dangerous Music 2Bus, Tube Tech SSA2B, and Neve 8816.

All those pieces of gear sound like heaven to me. I look at them everyday online. Right now Im only looking to buy 3 out of the 7 items I've listed. Which 3 would you choose? I know if I go with the SSL Matrix i wont have to worry about getting a summing amp/mixer. I dont have the space for console like boards right now so its definitely going to be between the Manley MP, Manley Slam, Retro Instruments 176, Bricasti M10 Remote, and Sony C800GPAC. Once I do move locations do you think I should go with the SSL Matrix or the SSL Nucleus and a summing amp/mixer? A lot say the Matrix is overpriced for all it offers. What are your thoughts?


Here is the list of gear that I own:

Pro Tool HD2
Apogee DA 16X
Apogee AD 16X
Crane Song Avocet
Focal Twin 6's
Dynaudio BM5A's
BAE 1073MPF
Tube Tech CL-1B
Tube Tech PE-1C
Tube Tech SMC 2BM
Universal Audio 2-LA-2
SSL G Compressor
Bricasti M7 Reverb Unit
Neumann U87AI
Brauner Phantom AE
Flea47
Roland Fantom G7
Access Virus TI Darkstar
Akai MPC 5000



Thanks in advance

To post in the high end forum means IMO you should be able to make decisions what to buy next yourself.

Please don't waste ours and your time.

If you come here, listen and learn but don't expect anyone to do your homework.

I really can't bear do see threads like this anymore and moderators should do something about it. This is getting really really silly. Especially posts like:

I have this:
[fill in equipment list]

What should I buy next????

And then what also irritates me is the use of more than one ? and ! in one sentence.

It's like almost demanding a reply.



I think the time has come for me to move on from this place, really... there is no useful information only junk and misinformation and a larger and larger scale.
Spoke with some professional friends and they feel the same way. So what will be left is one moron telling another moron what to do (I don't want to imply the OP of this thread is a moron). Both wasting their time on a place like this with endless questions and replies that will lead to nothing.

sorry to be negative... I had to say it.

Not sure what's wrong with someone asking about gear in this forum?

Well, why didnt you just leave this place instead of replying? Makes no sense to me! Im glad you got it off your chest though! Feel better? lol...

Last time I checked a 'bear' was an animal. Maybe you know something I dont. Care to inform me? lol...Oh I dont believe I used more than 1 ? and one ! in a sentence. I guess you were referring to the title box though! Im just guessing now. Your the expert not me!

Backt to the topic at hand shall we?
