Well, Led Zepp were jammin with a big Midas desk in London last week (I think you'll appreciate these photos Bo).

Wow, Andy - nice! You got full credentials, dood!!

I've not been on an XL8 - don't see the chance coming my way. Worked a Digidesign a few weeks back - nice control surface. Incredibly intuitive and powerful desk...

Bo,

As much as I'd like to say I was there at the desk, sadly not. Those photos were forwarded to me from one of the suppliers we deal with and they supplied the Midas desk. gggrrrrrr...

I can send you the hi-res images if you like...I may get them framed myself for the music room.

p.s. can you make out what all those scribbles on the setlist mean!?!?!

Yeah, they are cues for FX...

Notice the delay and verb settings on the set list.

any chance of a larger blow up to see those settings?

'zactly. Yeah - if I get the hi-res I'll forward them along (I thought I had your email but am not sure...)

Have fun in the EU Oldmics.

Have you heard Plant sing lately? The delay will help.

Oldmics-Analogue to the death

I hear ya...

That Digidesign Venue was pretty damned appealing. Incredible power and ease-of use. I grokked it really fast - surprised myself for a newbie. They done really well in making it "analogue-guy friendly". However, all night I found myself wanting more warmth on the vox and used the strip parametrics to gently add a broad hump through the 400-1,100 Hz range - I kept moving the center frequency and varying the Q to best result, but nothing seemed satisfactory. Everything was crystal clear - great headroom too - but it lacked body somehow. I thought it was the venue/night/no dinner/etc. Then listening to my boardtapes (CD-R) made on my machine (Sony CDR-W66) I heard the same characteristic. It is the preamps - they are lacking that good old analogue distortion we are accustomed to. Call it warmth, whatever. I was sure drawn to the incredible power of the tool - it is extremely addicting with all the call back features, routing, programming, etc - but the sound is not (yet) likable to my ears.

Thanks, Andy!!
