If you are, then you're not really familiar with the formentioned DAWs and their Superior workflow. Nuendo's Audio recording , editing is a work of art adn very powerful .

I'm comparing Logic to the Big 3(Nuendo, Pro Tools & Cubase) I could run down a host featurs hat Logic Lacks, but you can search the forums (Gearslutz,even Logic user forums).. It's a fine midi sequencer, with audio..Where as, the others are fine audio recorders,mixers...with midi.. Please stop comparing Logic with Paris..Paris is a fantastic Audio recorder/Mixer.

You've been warned dammit!!!LaMont, I AM comparing Logic to PARIS, obviously. This is a PARIS board and Deej has a lot of PARIS experience, as do I. And PARIS rocks for audio. If it's too much trouble to run down the list of features you think Logic lacks when compared to other programs, just list the top three that YOU think make it somehow unusable. I can tell you that there is nothing lacking that keeps me from recording, mixing and editing in Logic Pro 7.2.3. I'm sure it could be improved and streamlined, but it's already sufficiently powerful to get work done, and sufficiently amazing to be rather happy with it. For that matter, there was nothing critical missing in PARIS that kept me from recording, mixing and editing. Although the MIDI/soft synth integration, larger track counts and ability to automate everything were big steps up when I moved to Logic.

Thought the extension on the skimmer pole was gonna break a couple of times.

As most of you know, I'm very much into the fancy new stuff when it comes to my music. I'm into hip hop, breakbeats, dub step, software synths, and all of that. But, after I pop in the phone booth and emerge as my alter ego, I also play geetar in a rock'n'roll band. With guitar gear I'm positively Holocene in my tastes. For almost ten years I've played the same amp, a Top Hat Club Royale, basically an AC-30 top boost knockoff preamp with an AC-15 power section. I've usually put a power soak on it and played it full out. So, today I finally had a chance to really try out the Savage that a friend is selling. In my not so humble opinion I think I've always had some of the best guitar tone I've ever heard. More than once someone has offered to buy my Top Hat from me on the spot. The Savage is AT LEAST as good as the Top Hat. And, more importantly, the most stunning example of class A 6V6 amplification I have heard this side of a lovingly restored tweed Deluxe owned by another friend. It doesn't do clean at a level that would be useful outside a studio (though it's clean tones are spectacular, I think it would make a superb Grant Green sounding jazz amp), but the breakup goes from gorgeous Deluxe to surprisingly Marshall sounding when dimed. A lot of amp makers blackball their one really low wattage model with a crappy sounding eight inch speaker and a sub par cabinet, I think because it's just harder to justify

It's still here and I have paid for it instead of sending it back. Do you still find that it brings a > lot of the Paris warmth and air to the mix? Yes. Still worth the > money? I traded some services, cabling and gear that I was going to sell anyway plus $800.00 cash for mine. These are $1650.00 directly from the factory or $1750.00 from Mercenary. Were I going to have to pay $1650.00 for it I'm not sure, but I really like what it does for the Cubase 2 bus. Thing is, that I don't really think the Cubase 2 bus sounds bad without it now that I've accustomed myself to it a bit. If I were using Paris, I wouldn't send the money on it. Paris doesn't need it...cubase......maybe, depending on what you're looking for. I like that *familiar* sound I've been hearing for years with Paris so the 5042 has eased the transition to the different sonics of Cubase. As I use Cubase more and more, I find I'm able to get some mighty pleasing sonics out of it anyway. I just have this sneaking suspicion that UA Dis going to slap us upside the head with a tape emulator pretty soon. That's the kind of thing they do very well. It could well be superior to the Neve 5042. Those guys are good at what they do and tape emulation has been at the top of the request list on their forum for quite a while. Wouldn't surprise me if they had an Ampex and a Studer on a bench somewhere with codegnomes crawling all over them. Unless I had $1600.00 that I would die if I didn't spend immediately, I might hold off until summer NAMM and see what else pops up.......but yeah.....I do like it and use it a lot. ;o) > > Thanks for the input- > > Chris > >"> But riddle me this, Batman: how do you think the world, including yourself, > would be responding right now if this lunatic had been a woman? > > Just curious. > .............a national outcry for a PMS vaccine? ;o)"John" <no@no.com> wrote in message news:4627515f$1@linux... > > The shooter appears to be mentally disturbed which would rule out any > arguments > about real men or real women.

If they like the "modded" u-67's (assuming you're referring to the very popular Stephen Paul sub-micron mod), then I would recommend trying the Mojave MA200. Not exactly like the "S.P.- 67's" (which I've heard & used before), but very warm & fuzzy & in the same kinda balpark. The diaphragm on the MA-200 is only 3 microns - so, not as thin as Stephen's 0.9-micron mod, but still half the thickness of most common LDC diaphragms, and in that regard, is coser to "that" sound, and at a grand, is about a third of the price you'd pay for what I've seen clean UM57's priced out at recently. >If you were buying a mic for female and male vocals in a funk >band, would you select the UM57? Dunno, never used one - only answering the portion of your query that I'm able to :) >What else would you consider (from any manufacturer, at the >price of a UM57 or lower)? Not knowing if you've found a bitchin' clean minty-fresh UM57 for $500 somewhere I will assume you mean in the "$3k-ish or less" range. Here's my list: Neumann M-149: Sometimes can be found in the $3k range, sometimes more, but if you can find a good clean affordable one, go for it. Very smooth, almost round-ish tone (not nasal, or boomy, nor "peaky" up top), no real peaks or valleys, very even, yet open sound. Multi-pattern feature is nice to have, too. Soundelux E251C: One of my favorite mics, without a doubt, the 251C is the cardioid-only version. Tough to find used, but if you do find one it'll be in the high end of the price range we're talking about. KILLER high end (VERY smooth & airy!), and great presence, too... proximity effect is very noticeable if you want it to be (ie: if worked in-close). Soundelux E47C: Another cardioid-only version. Absolutely kicks ass. I can't say as I've ever seen one used for sale, but I would imagine it'd possibly be in the same/similar price range as the 251C used (even though it's more $$$ new). This mic has a less- pronounced high end than the 251C and more proximity effect, and it's a very BIG sound overall... just another super-high- quality, low-noise tube mic. Here's a multi-pattern version on e-bay now... only one bid - weird... maybe your friend can snag it! http://cgi.ebay.com/Soundelux-E-47_W0QQitemZ110114632536QQih Z001QQcategoryZ133011QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem B.L.U.E. Kiwi: Easily one of the best mics you can buy for under $2k new. Right now you can get one with a free "Robbie" tube Preamp thrown in (never used one of those pre's so I dunno how they sound). The sound to me is very reminiscent of a mix between a -67 the -149... best way I can describe it. It's not a tube mic, though; just tonally, to me, it sounds kind of like a blend of those two mics' characteristics - best way I can describe it, anyway... warm bottom end, but not wooly or fuzzy, and open top end, but not hyped, either, and very clean there, too. B.L.U.E. Cactus: I have a Cactus capsule in my M149 (the original worked fine, but really was poorly-maintained & had some of the sputtering coming off), and I can only assume that the Cactus with it's electronics would at least sound somewhat reasonably close to my -149, since the capsule is the main voice of the mic anyway. The guys at B.L.U.E. told me that the Cactus Capsule would be the closest to the M149's stock one and honestly I think they were right-on, because I don't hear much difference, if any, except for better articulation now. You can get the Cactus for about $2500 new. B.L.U.E. Blueberry: If it's the high end of that modded -67 your friend liked (again, assuming it was the common S.P. mod), maybe try a Blueberry! A grand new, and $600-$800 used. Regular ol' U87 (new or used): New they're $2800-ish... used you can sometimes snag 'em for as low as $1300 - still a good mic that never totaly sucks on anything. There's a few anyway. NeilAwesome, thanks Neil! I'll pass your advice along. They need to jump quickly so this is really helpful!
