RE: [Fairlight-CMI] Series III on ebay ???

2005-09-22 by Peter Connelly (Core Design Ltd.)

Well to me, it seems like a great price. I'm very surprised it hasn't
sold yet, especially it being a 9.34 system. I think the guy is better
off with a lower starting price. I've had problems selling things on
ebay in the past because of high starting bids...

Subject: [Fairlight-CMI] Series III on ebay ???

 What is the story with the series III on ebay ?? I am considering the 
purchase of a series III but this one has been up for auction on ebay 
serveral times with no bids. Is this not a good deal or is there 
something I am missing. I would prefer my purchase to include the 
keyboard and original monitor but I am unsure of what I should pay? I 
currently own two series IIx's and use them daily in my home studio 
setup. 
 Any info on whether to buy it or where to purchase a good series III 
would be greatky appriciated.

hmmm well, I didn' t noticed the serie III was so bad in sound. But as
  a user of MFX2 and Protools, I can tell you that the sound of the
fairlight is way better than this crapy Protools. Too bad It only have
24 tracks. I' ve made hundred of projects with those 2 systems linked
together. Sometimes we don' t use the mfx as I have to work in other
studios and I can' t take the heavy fairlight with me but the result
is there : " the mix is flat " are telling me my clients.

Here is a good tip --Im running 4 SampleCell cards with TDM and a D24 and two DSP farms for just a few bucks that is amazing
I have used the Series III on a few records but this cheap Protools TDM system sounds better.
Go for a D24 card as they are cheap compared to a Mix core and work fine on OSX , OS9 and XP
You can even get a DSP Mix farm and this turns the D24 into a Mix core
Here are the Ebay average prices
888/24 Audio I/O $500-600 24 bit
DSP farm rev QC $150-200 each
D24 Protools Core Card $300-400

Go for a D24 card as they are cheap compared to a Mix core and work fine on OSX , OS9 and XP
You can even get a DSP Mix farm and this turns the D24 into a Mix core
Here are the Ebay average prices

EIII keyboard is easy to repair..don't let that stop you from 
getting one. I sold my Series III but kept my IIx.
Just my 2cents worth!
