Hi my name is Funk and I'm a gear slut.. I need a white chip.
I stared at the screen for an hour or when I came across the deal. "Thats like more then half off the going price for a new Midas Venice f32. WTF is the deal with that" I said. I didn't really need a console cause I was just getting my home studio back up and running and already had an maudio 2626 and was planning on maybe upgrading to an Echo Audiofire 12 but a desk with 24-32 channels I did really need. I did have some upcoming projects in mind but it would take 10 channels max and it had been a few years since I made a record for myself or anybody else. "But such a good deal its ridiculous! I gotta do something even if I just resell it cause I know that deal can't last. Oh man what do I do?!!"
I pulled the trigger. It came.
I should have just left it in the box and just sold it for a little profit. Even though I know that would never happen. It would just call to me from the corner like some purple siren until i gave in and hooked it up. It took me a few days to get around to getting it set up and playing nice with pro tools. I'm a very busy production manager at a live venue. I don't get many days off. I get sound coming out of it and start opening sessions and sending tracks out through channels and mixing. Not clicking around with a mouse one track at a time but using faders, sweet midas XL3 EQ and hitting the summing bus hard.
"Oh... Oh wow... Oh man that sounds good."
It was the way it should be. It was the feeling I remember from the last time I mixed a record on a real console and the way I feel when I mix at the club every night on a real console with quality outboard. It took me 5 minutes put a mix together using the Venice and software plugs in Pro Tools. And most of that was using the plugs.
The problem is there's no going back. I can't sell this thing. It sounds too good. I'd just have to get another one if I did.
The pre's are fat and warm and quiet. And there's 32 of them. The EQ is so aggressive I caught it harassing my girlfriend. And there's more EQ on this thing then hippies at Bonnaroo. Real 100mm faders. the perfect number of channels for mixing my projects. 24 mono and 4 stereo. And the converters sound fantastic. And there's 64 channels of them! It's fat and purple and I really dig it.
The down side is I just spent money I didn't have on something I didn't really need and don't want to do the right thing and sell it.
I need to talk to someone. When's the next meeting?
