Have You Ever...

Wondered what made certain pieces of gear more desirable than others? Or what was the distinction between an 1176 siver face model as oppossed to the black face model? Well while searching the net for info like this back in my intern days I came across a dope article first published in Mix Magazine in 1996 on the Mercenary Audio Site all about vintage recording equipment and why some models are highly sought after more so than others. I usually dont nerd out on such facts but I have to admit a bit of this knowledge goes along way when choosing what outboard gear to use for certain sessions or clients. I was lucky enough to intern a major facility with a nice collection of outboard gear to try out when i wanted to experiment. But as anything in audio i suggest trying out what sounds good to YOU, to hell with what you read until you can decide for yourself if it sounds good or not. Peep the link and enjoy!
