Lady Gaia Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Just another six days until my new guitar arrives: It's a Schecter Solo Custom Exotic, and while the figured maple and cherry sunburst flamed Koa top is a little unconventional, it spoke to me. I've been planning to get a Les Paul style guitar for a while now and evidently this is it!

Lady Gaia Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I can only hope. I've been very pleasantly surprised by Schecter's South Korean manufacturing, so I'm assuming their custom shop production won't be a step in the wrong direction. Five days and counting...

linwood Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Just got the expansion packs for my Spitfire strings,ww's, and brass. More mics! They're usually 399-499 but were on sale for 99. I think today is the last day of the sale. I'm really happy with the Jake Jackson stereo mixes that I've tried on the strings. Still waiting for the ww's and brass to dl. It's gonna be a while...

clpete Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I picked up an L&M 210/9 mic stand. This is a small purchase, but it is a great stand. Ive been looking to get a stand with the telescopic boom for some time. After reading the boom stand thread a couple weeks ago and leaving a cheap stand at a multiband benefit gig, I got it. Dig it!!

cedar Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 At the urging of a couple of drummers who come to my home for sessions often, I purchased my first ever non-keyboard gig. And to my surprise, I'm pretty happy about it. Price was right (around $400), and I love being able to entice drummers to come over by telling them they don't need to lug their own stuff. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/BreakBeats-WRS--ludwig-breakbeats-by-questlove-4-piece-shell-pack-with-snare-drum-wine-red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSS Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Since February of this year, I've gone bonkers. I've bought a Nord 5D 73, Yamaha MX88, Yamaha DBR10 powered speaker, and just a couple of hours ago, a Zoom Livetrak L-12 (combination 12 channel live mixer/ recorder /audio interface). To help pay for my shopping spree, I recently unloaded two keyboards (Numa Stage & Acuna 73) and am about to sell a Hammond SK2. I may also sell my Roland RD300GX because it's as long as an aircraft carrier and impractical to haul to gigs. I forgot to mention the funnest and cheapest thing I've bought this year. It's a Cajon with a remote (backwards) kick pedal. I'm having a blast playing keyboards while sitting on it and tapping simple rhythms out on the kick pedal with an occasional slap or finger roll from my right hand. I'm also trying to work with tapping a high-hat with my left foot. At some point, I may even be brazen and give the keyboards / Cajon thing a shot as a one-man-band act because I sing as well. Even if it doesn't sound as good as playing with drum machines, sequences, loops, or tracks, at least, sink or swim, I'm trying to play all the music in real-time rather than just pressing a button and playing along with a machine. I also get to leverage some of my past experience as a drummer. Quote Gigs: Nord 5D 73, Kurz PC4-7 & SP4-7, Hammond SK1, Yamaha MX88 & P121, Numa Compact 2x, Casio CGP700, QSC K12, Yamaha DBR10, JBL515xt(2).

KeyMoe Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Kronos 88 LS. Gonna use it for my live rig. Just came in this morning. Spent a few minutes with it. The action is really different but works for me. The overall wieght was also a major factor in my decision. So far very happy with my purchase. (I also own the regular Kronos 88 in my project studio so I am very familiar with the sounds and OS) Quote Montage 7, Mojo 61, PC-3, XK-3c Pro, Kronos 88, Hammond SK-1, Motif XF- 7, Hammond SK-2, Roland FR-1, FR-18, Hammond B3 - Blond, Hammond BV -Cherry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarsHarner Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 For portable use to take out- a P125 for $480 (after 20% coupon)- so far its very good as a portable (25 pounds)- but I'll need a different case as it is a taller piano. I did sell my Juno Gi/PX130/SP280 to cover it with some profit as well- I wasn't using them anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quai34 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Last week, a Mackie Mix8 for our drummer for him to mix all the different click I sent to him, whether they come from Ipad, Drumbox, Proteus and his Aux Return from the main mixer....He has an IEM, well, just the Ear Plug. 3 weeks ago, a DRUMBRUTE Arturia. Last months: Redoing all the crappy cables for the Guitar pedalboard. Two months ago, a TC Corona Chorus SCF special edition back, TC Mimik Doubler and a TC Bass Compressor. 3 months ago, a Radial Beat Bug 48V to power my Radial JV48 when I plug it into an Aux return without of course Phantom power. 6 months ago, Nord Gig bag for my Stage 2, 12 months ago. prophet 12.

KingstonCrim Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Recently upgraded to the Focusrite Clarett 8Pre interface for my new on-stage mixer. We're putting my old 80's synth-wave band back together and I needed something to handle my vintage synths which would also let me process effects live through Mainstage3. Thunderbolt = near-zero latency! Nice thing about it is how it works with or without an attached computer as a standalone mixer. The Output feeds directly into my Spacestation3 for a nice gig rig. It took me a few sessions to get the hang of the software interface which is amazingly versatile. I'll be testing it out live outdoors for the first time this weekend with my church gig band.

DanS Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Picked up the Radial Key Largo mixer. Sweet little unit that sits nicely right on top of my XK1c. First gig with it was Saturday night. Drummer came up to me after soundcheck and asked what I changed with my setup, showed him the Largo, he said everything sounded really nice. After the gig, the soundman said the keys sounded amazing. For a change, I ran everything to the house in stereo. The piano actually sounded like a piano, instead of a digital knockoff, and the Hammond was nice and smooth at the sometimes 'shrilly' top end. Great piece of kit. Quote What we record in life, echoes in eternity.

Ken Beaumont Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Bought a DeepMind 12 about a week ago. Gigged with it last Saturday. I really like it though at this point I have only created about 4 sounds from scratch and tweaked about 6 more. Was able to get a decent Doors organ for "Light My Fire" it isn't perfect but for me the sound is pretty close. I'm no expert at programming it but I have been pouring over YouTube videos and have been getting along with it quite well. I was really quite surprised how well this thing seems built for only $699!
