API desk (as opposed to building a chasis), which is taking forever - but no idea.
I'm thinking Jeff maybe was talking about restoring his orig. If i remeber correctly he said the console project is taking a lot of his time.ĭeffo! DIY is the future of what's going on definitely. He did a podcast recently, it was very interesting. We just gotta hope for compatibility between these awesome brands, imagine if you could mix Aurora Audio's stuff with DIY Pres and Eqs and Tonelux modules at will. the master module and 8 channel eq and those beautiful fader pacs. Not to go completely off-topic, i was day dreaming today about mixing a 500 rack with capi preamps with some of Geoff's stuff. Identifying these characters and ignoring everything they say i think is key. You see these guys around that go on and on and on about a preamp, and then you click their signature and VOILAAA! there it is, their shop and a big picture of THAT preamp. I think we just have to be a little patient, the DIY world is growing fast, i know someday soon we'll have great options to make our perfect desk.Īnd another thing about him is that you don't see him pimping his gear and saying other stuff doesn't compare to what he sells. that kind of people makes you wanna keep doing business with them. The way he addressed my inquiries and deadlines. I cant say enough good things about Jeff Steiger, and i haven't even gotten my kits yet. Podcast #2: What Makes API Gear Sound So Good? With Jeff Steiger of ClassicAPI - D.I.Y.
If i remeber correctly he said the console project is taking a lot of his time. Plus, the fact that most people don't have access to the required test equipment makes it difficult to assess if you made a mistake.įunny as I am thinking of packing it with the CAPI VP26's.ĭid jeff let on that he was working on something?He did a podcast recently, it was very interesting. it ends up costing WAY more for the non-expert tech types (which represent 90% of us) than just buying what you need. When you factor in the amount of hours of your time, trial and error, testing, sourcing parts, etc. It simply is NOT a way to actually "save" money. This is not like building a simple 312 copy.ĭIY is a great thing for people interested in circuits and building stuff. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen anybody finish a DIY console and actually have a working unit with pans and volume, etc. I've seen countless guys try to do exactly what you would like to attempt and the project never gets finished. It's kindly like build your own old school tracking desk (minus EQ & summing) no?Good luck with that.
or something of the like.I'm sure I'm I make 16 or 20 of 'em I can save a bundle. Thanks for the suggestion Tony, I'm thinking of the the ClassicAPI 500 series DIY pres.
