I'm looking for one in good condition.

I would probably like to get rid of either the API 3124+ or the Great River MP 2NV as they aren't being used much and are in excellent condition.
Those...

I've been wanting one of these for my guitar rig for some time.
Anyone know where I might be able to get one.
I'm slowly getting rid of studio gear and might be willing to trade for one.

I have a Great River Preamp and an API preamp. I only have software EQ's and Compressors. A real deal gimme might be just what I need to take the plunge into getting more of them. I am interested in...

API 3124+

Preamp has had little use in a non smoking home/project studio.
Asking Price: $2200
Item Location: Northern Virginia (Bristow, VA)
Will ship to US only

That's very funny... my kids do the same thing.. my 1 yo daughter and my 4 yo son play with the knobs on my studio stuff (when I'm around) and my guitar rack.. and yeah.. for them it's a way to have...

yep.. I call em Fibson guitars

Bill,

Thank you very much for this advice.. I definitely know which way I'm leaning.
I just need to take the pictures.. fix the desk situation and come up with a budget or sell a preamp or some...

FMR RNP - that thing surprised me, but really only made me HAVE to get the Great River MP 2NV and eventually the API 3124

Brian-

Ethan,

I think I will start with sending some pictures.
I am thinking I also need to get something more solid for the monitors.
They are currently sitting on a make-shift stand that is two small...

Thanks for the reply..

I want to stay away from foam and adhesives.
I think that it might be cheaper up front, but much more expensive in the long run to replace torn up drywall and buying the...

yeah there's a new version or replacement coming out.

I saw a picture of it over on gearsluts.com

I was toying with the idea of getting new monitors, but I think it's high time I take the plunge and sell off one of my pres to do some treatment in my room.
It's just a living room in a townhouse,...

yeah.. that's what I'm getting at.. I don't have a way to put one at my left.


Brian

Hahahaha.. Indeed.. new toys are fun...
I think I'll give treatment a try.

There are a lot of shortcomings to the place I'm in and I don't really want to make any big time permanent changes.

here's a scan of a rough drawing I made..

The problem is that the room is not symmetric. To the right (when facing the monitors) there's a...

I would agree that I'm in need of room treatment.
I would disagree that I'm simply after something new and sexy.
I've heard the Mackies in other studios (which are treated) and just don't find them...

I've been hesitant to treat the room because it's a fairly funky setup.
I'll try and come up with a drawing as I have no way of explaining it.

I'm thinking about upgrading my monitors.
I currently have a set of Mackie HR 824's and I've grown tired of them.
My mixes don't translate too well from studio to say stereo and car stereo.
I'm...

yep.. I eyed those as well.

I've been checking out the A-Designs ATTY and that looks cool..
It looks primarily to be a line level device though.

Would it work between a mic and a preamp? or is...

I very much appreciate the advice.
I'll have to check to see how I can calibrate my converters (Lynx 2B) to 0dbv=-24dbfs

I checked the web for the Shure switchable pads and they aren't cheap, but...

Jim,

thanks for the reply.

what kind of in-line pads are you using?
Are the Whirlwind IMP XLT to XLR pads acceptable?
Or would you recommend something else?

Brian

I had a tracking session where I was tracking drums using my API and Great River preamps. I mic'd the snare with a 57 beta and had it going to the API and into the AD converter.
I was getting peaks...

yep, I'm using Ibanez 7 strings.. I use standard Ernie Ball .10's as strings..
I've never neeeded to tune down to A, and haven't tried that.
Interesting thing to consider.
I use Fender Strats and...

7 string, dropped tuning, or barritone guitars.. against bass guitars with a low B string or tuned down.
Mesa high gain amplifiers (Recto Heads, Road King etc)..
There are loads of amps that can do...
