I am a recording engineer, and I would like to check with some
persons who are working with tube audio equipment(making it) about
manufacturing for me a custom 8 in, 2 out tube based mixer. I record
all acoustic music, chamber music, folk, bluegrass, celtic, world
music, choir, acapella, etc. there a lot of mass produced choices,
but I would like something very special. I have spoken to MOSCODE
months ago, and he said he would do it, but then never answered my
last emails. If anyone can help me, I would much appreciate it, and
will send you all the first recordings of my label (audiophile type
label beginning late this year).

Tackar så mycket,

I'm happy to design something, but being paid with a cd doesn't pay my
bills or put food on the table.

As tempted as I am to not respond to that statement...I will anyway.
I dont recall asking anyone to build something for a CD..That would be
quite silly, wouldnt it? That is a crazy thing to think. I was simply
offering CDs as a token of my thanks to anyone who helped point me in the
right directions as far as names to contact. Wow.

Using tubes only is all you need, and its not a very complicated
matter for design unless you want lots of bells and whistles such as
tube based
12 band graphic eq to each input channel, and all floating balanced
inputs and balanced outputs.


The trouble is that an original one off design has to be optimised
during and after its
construction and de-bugged; the final amp IS a prototype, and someone
has to do all that
or else you get less than what you expected.

If all you want is to pick people's brains without paying them,
and you have no skills to finalise the work yourself,
and you won't pay the price of having something
properly custom made with a guranteed outcome, then maybe its no
wonder ppl
might end up not answering your emails.


Are you serious??

Just testing.

You are assuming a hell of a lot, and are completely off
the mark...I was simply asking for someone steer me in the right
direction as far as names go for me to PAY them to build a mixer. If I
wanted to pick peoples brains only, I would do it elsewhere. Some of yall
need to get laid. Really. or perhaps a tricyclic antidepressant, maybe
benzodiazapenes?

Getting laid is terribly expensive these days,
I'm extremely choosy about who I root, and I don't do drugs.

But designing something you can build and presenting it in a nice
schematic form
takes considerable work, and you hadn't offered any payment just a cd
"sweetener",
which is fine, but you won't get too much help from a busy expert unless
you
offer more.

As a busy expert, I get fed up with people wanting some contraption
design or constructed
and they are willing to pay peanuts only.

I share nearly all my wisdom as I proceed with custom projects such as
the 845 amps
for which I am paid. This sharing is fine for me . But if you want
something
I am not making, or have never made, then I want to get paid somehow.






So far I have gotten some really good help,(Graham, the NL guy and a
couple others), email from a dickhead who said he had a DJ mixer with a
couple of technics tables, and this post above from Captain
TactfullAssumption)
So let me restate here.....I want a mixer for my recording business.. I
was outlining what I wanted with the intent of perhaps garnering interest
from someone that was capable of building/designing one(I dont have many
skills as far as electronics design..so what I do( I read this in a book
once, about paying people for services that range from Laundry to
designing things for you to Car Washing, etc..Novel Idea I think) I dont
want advise on how to build one so that I can steal your wonderful
secrets and go to my garage and capitalize on your vision and market it
to the masses who yearn for your secrets..

I built a website with totally free info. But people don't copy
what I do because its all too difficult to achieve. Commercial people
ripping off things from my website invariably dumb down the ideas.

I am not a well known designer like Peter Walker was, or Tim
DeParavicini, Andy Grove or many others who
have established themselves over 20 years prior to the Net in magazines
like Sterophile
after their efforts in well funded and successful audio manufacturing
business ventures
requiring heavy capital investments.

I do not give a *** what ppl do with ideas stolen from me.
They ain't stolen. I have given it free.

He he, what they do with the secret info is their business.



I dont need to sell equipment.
I make a good salary. . I dont want to build anything for fucks sake. I
wish I had the skill to, but that was not my lot in life. I am a singer
and make my money Singing and doing voice overs. I want to pay someone to
build for me. That is legal is it not?? End of story.

!!!

It is nothing more
than that and nothing less..So if anyone can help, please shoot me an
email or reply here. If you cant help and want to spout vitriol, feel
free, I wont respond to that nonsense . I do really appreciate the folks
that are contributing to the thread in a positive way.

All I am saying is that experts normally want some sort of
"professional" fee,
ie, more than what you'd pay a cleaner.
And you have not indicated what you are prepared to pay.

Doing such design work takes considerable time.

If you really want something done, and done right,
and in a good time frame, make a deal nobody can refuse.

I'm extremely busy for the next 6 months can't help you
right now.

Does not Manley Labs have something you might purchase off the shelf?
