Re: What did you just buy yourself?

Cables, adapters, and decksavers
I still buy the occasional cassette. The whole underground cassette label thing seems to have gone off the boil a bit in recent years, but there are still a lot of artists I really like who release a tape every now & thenMrFigg wrote: ↑17 Jun 2023Yeah. I’ve got masses of compilation tapes friends made me in the 80s. Remember when a compilation was the biggest show of affection you could give or get from a girl. My friend (who sadly died few years ago) made me 23 tapes all called On a Rainy Day. You never know what you’re going to get as they all look exactly the same . Also had friends of friends who had friends who dj-ed in clubs in the early 90s and the tapes when round. Happy days.
Ha!
Nice. I was also thinking about that comp/limiter, but it'll have to wait for another sale.
It probably won't become a go-to of mine. But I thought it offered something different when I compared it to my other compressors. The limiter part of it especially could really squash/even out sounds in ways I hadn't heard before. I won't be using the limiter as a master limiter, but rather as a creative, sound shaping tool.crimsonwarlock wrote: ↑26 Jun 2023Nice.

I was looking at it for vocals, as it is a well known trick for vocals to chain a comp into a limiter. Close to what I do now, chaining a slow comp into a fast one. As for price, eks prices are pretty hefty to begin with tmo.TritoneAddiction wrote: ↑27 Jun 2023It probably won't become a go-to of mine.

It looks good too. Price was a little high imo, even at the sales price.
Nope. I once ate a drum set, never again
