Rode NTK or Rode K2..

[Opie M.]

that's the pre Nom had... you both spoke to him... he said it was cool... lacked a little depth i guess and then he got the Avalon... 747? 737? pre/comp/eq... I used it with the K2 and it wasn't bad at all... sounded good the ISAone sounds a bit brighter and warmer to me though... why not check the 710 twinfinity?

I tried to talk him out of that ridiculous purchase.

so did I... I tried to tell him get your liquid channel when you first wanted to sell it but hey... if u have 2500 to waste why not... he had his heart set on it... so oh well

Word. I broke down all the dope shit he could get for the price of the Avalon and the Rosetta. He's spendin $4500 on a preamp and A/D converter and he has no monitors. I tried everything I could to talk sense into him. I thought I might've succeeded, but I guess later he talked himself back into it.

lmao I told him the same... he swede by his yamahas and told me what you said which I already told him lol he had his heart set on the Avalon and wanted someone to agree... I mean it does sound better but I still have a better sounding mix using my headphones lol

[Opie M.]

I recorded my battle verse using the Avalon preset on the Liquid Channel just to compare it to his sample he sent me. Shit sounds lovely. There is a tiny difference. But it's not a good or a bad difference. It just sounds different.

I told him about his monitors and he called GC. They told him the exact same thing I did lol

I hate giving advice to people that don't listen.

man... i've been telling him for a few years now man... lol I atleast listen and try shit... I tell him stuff and he wants exactly what I did LOL and if it doesn't work then there's somethig wrong... like with parallel compression... 7 hours going back and forth with dude before I told him I was done explaining lol oh well what are friends for?
