kool advice .. can always go the software route for compression after it has been recorded to disk, or is it much better to have a compression/preamp situation at the recording stage?
i like this thread.
have been considering a Juno, because they are awesome, and for a while, one was lent to me by a very groovy studio in byron bay. but then.. eventually.. ppl found out and were all like "why does jasper have the juno.. he doesnt even work here?"
heh. anyways, ever since then, i have known the power of the Juno 106.
actually, it was back in '99 in melbourne, when i was first introduced to a Juno 60, that was an awesome experience too.
the 106 can do midi with proper functionality.
the 60 has a voltage-control-box-thing that does respond to one midi channel , although a fickle thing sometimes.. if it works, that is great, although my buddy's juno 60 midi-voltage thing stopped working. it is possible to get them fixed if that happens.
re/ compression and preamps, how about also this: sidechaining the kick and the bass? depends on how their lines intersect i guess? have to be closely connected in the line/pattern they are playing?
without wishing to write too many words, here is an
info page about the oberheim OBX-A
the OBX-A and the jupiter-8 have been compared to each other, possibly the jupiter-8 being the best, not sure..
neither are available on e-bay right now.. i wonder where to get one. perhaps they are not for sale. i belive a good one of either of these synths is going to be an investment that will make good money within five years, if kept well.. i guess that means, do not gig with them, just work with them in the studio.
