Nick

what time is this shootout?

and is it open for people to come?

(pardon me if i have totally misunderstood, and you will just record the results for yourselves)...just checking, coz i've never heard any of this pro gear...and would be interested to witness

Hey, heres a link. Also i think its pretty much full, there seems to be a few going, best to send him an email.

thanks mate :)

Sounds like the outlaw meets the sherriff....

Ahm puttin' mah money on Wagner.

Word is he ain't never been beat.

Out of all the gear I'm looking foward to listening to the Pearlman TM 1. From reports on Gearslutzs it's sound GREAT, but more inportantly it's affordable.


Nick

I assume (hope? pray?) that you intend to write up the results and post a link here so we can share in the goodness?

all this shootout gear better be hirable, i know Nick does rent out his stuff,
but if you guys gloat about all this gold, that i cant touch....that would be rather cruel!! :P

hahahahaha

All good guys.
All results will be available on a CD and I'll post the results here as soon as I can. Just have to see how big the files are and in what format.

We had a great day today, all went well. Just trying not to say too about the results so you guys can listen for yourselves.
Nick

And the winner is?

Realy interested how the u47 clones and not so clone(wagner) went.
I tried out a real u47 recently...worst thing I could have done as far as my wallet is concerned.( and I thought i had vocal mics lol)

i think i just messed myself.

i would love a copy of the cd illustrating the results of the shootout. please post to advise.

chris.

Any CD's left of this?
Cheers
