SSL Alpha Link AX with Mixpander5 system for me.

On the "lucky enough to be able to have at no charge as a dealer" front, being able to unlock every single plugin they offer for the card this week should be icing on the cake. Just haven't had time to play with them yet.

I just bought a Great British Spring Reverb, a Sansamp GT-2 and a Radial ProRMP reamplifier. That'll do for a little guitar sound scaping.

Finally grabbed a pair of LSR6328P's (probably right before JBL announces a new line at NAMM), but I've used these before and I know my mixes will translate better.

Anybody wanna buy a set of BM6p's?

SCA preamps

Built a N72, T15, and a second C84--and they all work!

Also bought a patchbay and made cables so I can route signals from the preamps and/or mixer to my Mytek stereo A/D.

Already lots of goodies, but the standouts would be:

Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor
(2) Avedis E27s in R52 rack.

Sick stuff indeed.

Cool

My plan this year is to get a matched pair of the new Sennheiser MKH 8040 (cardioid) and a matched pair of the MKH 8020 (omni) microphones.

Also, the new NAGRA VI when it comes next month (hopefully).
