The Liquid Channel

sheltersoton · 13th January 2006

Im not interested in buying one i was just reading an ad and it kind of creeps me out... a bit like when you hear the Line6 variax acoustic.. just not quite right!

Are there any users out there? what are your experiences / opinions?

also line 6 have just released a pre with "dsp" so it makes it sound "neve-esque" or "API-esque" anyone heard anything about them?

cheers

...which I think is so funny because sounding "Neve-esque" or "API-esque" doesn't seem to have much to do with dsp.

I may say something that starts the flames a burning,
(Make it medium-rare please), but
I got a liquid channel about 5 months ago:

(I wanted to know where dynamic convolution is at this point
in time. I believe that this field will deliver some
new in interesting things in the next 5 years).

I have several of the items it tries to “emulate”.
Does it? Not to my ears.

Is it “usable” yes.

I would “try” it:
1. In a home studio with limited cash.
2. if just starting and wanted to try some “different” things.
3. Had a need to “carry it around”.

Final comment:

You must listen to this it is not a “safe” bet:
Like APIs, Great River, Neve, GML, etc etc.

If you’re in love with one of the pieces it “emulates”
buy the real thing.

This is really my experience to date.

i agree,

i have had the misfortune of using one of these. i personally think that some "cheap" preamps sound better and have more charachter. it doesn't come close to emulating anything it says it does. it's poopy dfegad
