Works for me, but might sound dated for some others.

I personally use an Emu Vintage Pro (with some expansion ROMs). Easy and fast access to bread and butter sounds is essential when producing other bands and musicians. Some kind of a rompler is a good thing to have, for your given situation. Of course Fairlight & PPG go way beyond being "romplers" and you can't get them in a 19" rackmount format In my mind, virtual analogue isn't worth bothering with and neither are romplers really unless you love the sample set or if they have some mad "early digital" character like Kawai K1, Fairlight, PPG etc. Then there is SCI, newer Akai, Roland and E-Mu stuff.Īctually the EIII (NOT XP) is my favourite sampler but I've never seen a rackmount for sale. Samplers: Kurzweil for clean, S950 or FZ20M for dirty.
a Macbeth M3X is even better if you can find one. Oberheim and Marion rackmounts are decent too.įor mono duties, a MidiMoog if you can find one, otherwise a Studio Electronics SE1 or ATC1.…. but you might wanna try Korg or Akai or digi/analogue hybrids like Kawai or Ensoniq. Personally I wouldn't be without the MKS80/MPG80 combo for analogue stuff.Īdd to that some other Roland analogue modules for variety…. I feel like there are 3 basic flavours of stuff: analogue, samplers and FM.īeyond that there are different flavours of each: There are so many good things and different little niches.
Samplers, Romplers, FM, Analog, Virtual Analog.
My partner and I will be "producing" friends and locals who make all kinds of music, so quick access to the sounds of past era is exciting. Which rackmount sound sources are you hanging on to for the foreseeable future? I really am interested in EVERYTHING. It is so overwhelming that I'd thought it was worth having a public discussion. This is all based on reading vintage synth explorer. So I'm in the middle of making my own google spreadsheet of optimal rackmount sound sources. (we had an amazing space, it fell through, now we are looking at building a "tiny studio" in a backyard) But mainly due to my recent purchase of a large-format console and partnership with a long time friend on a "proper studio". In part because I've always been that way, a collector. I'm the dude constantly searching craigslist, ebay. So I wanted to re-gage opinion on this subject.īasically I am trying to compartmentalize my gear lust. It seems prices have dramatically changed in the last 5 or so years. Should you need more inputs the Mackie 1402VLZ is also a very nice mixer, I use it in the video edit suite and occasionally pull it out to mixer audio for events.I just did a search and read a few threads. The XTI is a VERY nice sounding amp.Īn alternative could be the Yamaha Stagepas mixer amp combos. You have plenty of options though with the 1202 ( or any other mixer ) Yamaha, Mackie and JBL all make very nice powered speakers, or you could buy a pair (if you need to run in stereo( of Yamaha SV12 or SC15 non powered speakers then buy a power amp like the Crown XTi1000. Mackie( and Yamaha) has powered amp/mixers that are also very nice. While I can do this with the 2480, I chose to use the 1604 to mix the synths and send it to multiple tracks on the 2480, for me it offers more flexility. It all depends on what you want to do.ĭepending on which DAW you have, yes you can use it as a mixer for live gigs or monitoring in the studio. Or any other powered speakers or amp speaker combo. You could then take the output from the mixer to any keyboard amp. With the ALT 3 / 4 you can send select inputs to a different destination. Live you can use the aux send to feed MoogerFoogers or any other effects processor. Yamaha also have several nice mixers that are affordable I’ve also used the 1202 for some live performances and recording over the years. While the 2480 has 16 analog inouts, I like the flexibility of doing sub mixes of things on the 1604 and routing them to the 24 I also use a Mackie 1202VLZ Pro to feed studio as a monitor mixer( Event APS. All of the synths go to it then I use sub 1,2,3,4 L/R routed to theVS2480. How many inputs do you need ? How many do you think you’ll need down the road ?įor my Studio I use a Mackie 1604VLA Pro.
