Top Pic : Similar to mine in some ways ( looks like rack mounted PC & mixer ).
Bottom Pic : - Nice but aren't dual floppies old technology these days ?

Here we go.... pretty bad quality pics but what the heck


-From top to bottom:
-crappy sansui mixer with builtt in spring reverb - i only use the spring reverb
-Behringer V verb - believe it or not, but this is a GREAT reverb/fx unit.. people at various forums claim that its on par with lexicon pcm 70's etc. It is a twin engine unit, one with analog I/O and the other is digital I/O via spdif or AES/EBU - GET ONE!!!
-2x dbx163x - good for certain things, like bass.. the can be linked.
-2x stereo comps "Studiomaster Ufex" a 90's budget studio comp, but really beefs up piano and drums.. it can really mess up the sounds in a very characteristic and cool way. Believe it or not, but i think it actually sounds alot like the SSL bus comp (4000)
-4x gate and limiter "LOFT", hmmm havent really found out where to use it, but i sometimes use it for stereo busses (the limiter only)
-Cool old skool reverb - ART. Sounds has the world most grainy tail! but it really has character.
-BBD delay - Dynacord vrs23 - a superb sounding analog delay. it even has a "reverb" setting (lots of short delays) - again, its a beast with character!
-patchbays..


-RME ADI 8 AE. 8 channel converter
-Alesis adat (when more than 8 channels of conversion are required)
-NAD amp


-Behringer BCF2000 - a great and cheap way to actually touch your plugins!
-some random cd player
-Roland space echo re 301 - No introduction neede - this is a machine i use in almost every production i do!! If it died, i would get another on as soon as money permitted!


-Soundtracs topaz inline desk - 32 channel (actually 64, you can merge the inlines with the normal ones)
-32 great sounding preamps and eqs. 8 groups and 8 stereo returns.


-the whole SHEBANG!

Nice setup - especially if SHEBANGS ! That Roland Space Echo .....you use it on every tune... I gotta have one of them. UAD have one modelled, but I dont have UAD...trying to find a VST.

[the19thbear]

i have the uad version as well... but its not 100% the same.. its very close though!
try soundfonts.it - he made a very good vst version that is very cheap!

[dante]

ok thanks I'll try the soundfonts one. Someone said the UAD one was too clean !

[the19thbear]

Just added a manley massive passive to the rack above!!!! YEAH!

[dante]

Lucky you .., I was just watching the video for the UAD2 version last night .... Looked / sounded great.

Not trying to model any particular Space Echo, but space f's ECHO35 is mindblowingly good.

Except you cant tweak the delay time realtime and get the lo/hi pitched sounds, which is a must for me

[dawman]

Modular IV's Tape Delay has that chore handled in Spades..
Add GOST reverse Delay/Looper and you have a realtime backwards Hendrix ability.
I had purchased Line 6, Lexicon and Oberheim hardware units for doing realtime manipulations but Mod IV's Tape Delay is S|C's unknown weapon.
Can't wait to use it in a patch instead of a series/parallel Modular effect shell.
