Nice sounding mic pre's on the onyx series.
Digital tron? I dunno...It's pretty. Somedays my tron just doesn't want to sound good or in tune on a track, so I just do something else because it wasn't meant to be. The days it wants to play nicely, it's magic. I imagine the digital tron will sound just fine everyday but I anticipate there won't be any magic for me.

Agreed I have a small Mackie for my
practice room and I like the little sucker.
Their Oynx 80 looks good to
me.
That ought to piss the neighbors
off.
Have a great weekend and thanks for your
valued input (no pun).
Best,
Tony
PS what do you think of this digital
Mellotron?
I'm wating for M5000 #2.

Glad to
help. We still have one of the first Mackie 8-buss mixers delivered to
NY. It has the shit beat out of it and it still sounds fine. I have a
first gen 1604 ganged to a 1604 VLZ. That's what I tracked and mixed my
record on. Can't kill those Mackie boards. If there is a Hall of
Fame for mixers, the first gen 1604 has got to get in :>) Not one problem
in 18 years.

Hey Fritz,
I don't buy used for a lot of
reasons.
Former AES member too, so no stranger
to this stuff.
Out of practice sure, but my ears still
spot on tunings etc, as I was the synth tech for a major store here and drew
clients from all over the Tampa/St. Pete/Clearwater area (over 3 million
folks).
I like the Mackie stuff and am 90% sure
they make a 48 channel board, plus I still have my "ins" from those days
locally.
I remember the unvieling of the Solid
State Logic board at the 1979 AES convention in Los Angeles. What a piece of
gear as well as the Neve!
Going to have a look at Toft stuff in a
few.
Thanks for your suggestions, I'll let
you know what I end up with.
Best,
Tony

Be very wary of
buying anything used unless you have a good tech and know what to look
for. If you are looking for something used, see if you can get it in
your set up for a while.
Gonna be tough finding something that's over
32 channels that isn't geared more for live unless you've got some bucks to
spend.
Please stay away from digital mixers. Yes, they're convenient
but sound like shit.
Old Mackie 8-buss mixers still sound nice and
you can probably find a side car for them. Mackie Digital 8-buss are
absolute nightmares.
New stuff? I'm liking the Chinese made
Toft ATB series. They all have a monitor section so a 32 channel board
can net you 64 discrete inputs. They sound very nice too for the
money.
SSL AWS 900 kicks sublime ass but it's pricey. It would
be my desert island desk. We have one at work...maybe they won't miss
it :>)

Speaking for myself, I find something interesting in about
every musical instrument around.
I need a larger mixer (40+ chan) and I would appreciate an
honest reccomendation fellas!
Thanks in advance,
Tony
Neve is a bit out of my reach lol.

Re: [newmellotrongroup] Re: NAMM Report
Nah, I doubt this will make a difference to the "Chamberlin"
market. If you ever had one or ever played one you'd
know.
Chamberlin sounds in a Mellotron do not sound the same as a real
Chamberlin - just as the M400 violins do not sound identical to the
MK II violins, nor do M300 sounds or MK II sounds sound like a real MK II
or M300 if they're coming from an M400.
This is my experience playing multiple Chamberlins and
Mellotrons over the last 20 years. They're all unique and different.
If you really spend time closely listening to all these instruments
you can tell.
Most people can't because they only use 1 machine at
best. No A and B comparison can be made.
This new digital version is for a different market anyway.
I imagine Markus will continue to build the MK 6 alongside this
digital tron, just as Streetly will continue with the M4000.
And rightfully so.
Anyone wanting authenticity and a product of real quality will buy an
original tape version.
Anyone wanting the sounds and feel with digital high quality
will buy an authorized "tribute version"
There's room for both.

If true, Memotron is done for.
Markus will hit a home run if pricing is that
low.
Its a lot lower than that.

I'd be surprised if it was that cheap. Didn't someone
post $2700? That seems more likely, but even that could be
low.
