I have protools hd accl4 and all the good plugs (sony, waves ssl, echoboy, tlspace, mcdsp, revibe, eventide, MDW)

We do all kinds of music, and I have keys, virtual instruments covered, monitering is good, only interested in outboard or
mic, I think

I could always not get the chandler and go with another money mic, but very interested in what you guys might add
I have 16 inputs, plus I have pres on the control24

Thanks for doing my shopping

1) A champion outboard Reverb or champion multieffect box-


or


2) A really good vocal tracking comp ala(CL1B(change the tubes),MC77,UA LA2A)


or


3) The flavor of "last" month- a summing box



For my fee keep the dough and send a roundtrip ticket to Maui.

Thrill, would one of the compressors you mentioned be that much better than the pendulum quartet's (ocl-2),
I was thinking about that. thanks.

"Better" is a subjective word.


I like to use the word "different".


They all sound different and bring out different aspects of a vocal and we know in todays modern productions it starts with the vocal and the vocals have to be stellar.


In a perfect world you will have one of each(which i do except for the Pendulumn).


In my opinion i would go for the UA LA2A.

You need a character comp in your arsenal.

You got a lot of bread and butter pieces.

Now its time for a little Jam.

A second Distressor and a box of Hoyo De Monterey Double Coronas.

Then kick it out on one of the Wailea beaches puffing on some heavenly Cuban air and imagine how much greater life is going to be having a pair of Distressors at your disposal vs. just one.

[catfish11]

monitors-

genelec 1031, jbl lsr32 hafler 3000 amp, hafler m5 small kind

summing-

cranesong spider

so, so far you guys think my vocal mic is sufficient?
Lawson, U195....

I like this, it is fun, almost really buying

[kevinc]

SURE !

Send your money over and I`ll spend all of it !!!

[seaneldon]

actually i'm gonna give another hollar at the C37A. insane amp mic. coupled with an r121 you'd probably have to bring a few changes of shorts to work.

[vernier]

You need tube stuff.

[catfish11]

thanks vernier,
i have 2 tube compressors, 2 tube eqs, 2 tube preamps
3 tube microphones

Not only would I keep the order for the Chandler Germanium, I would budget another grand or so for the second one you are sure to order after hearing it!

I've bought and sold a ton of gear, but this pre is the first piece I have EVER bought that I would never dream of selling under any circumstances.

Definitely worth checking out before you decide to go with something else...
