This baby is mine!!!

[Ikon]

Wohoo! On friday I will be the proud owner of a brand spankin new Vestax PMC05mk2!!

Ultimatley I would of prefered the PMCO7, and iv been savin up for it but im gettin the 05 for a mere £200 which is a massive saving of £130 on the retail price, so I couldnt turn it down!!

 

[Ian Cashman]

well this is my baby...she gives me goosebumps!!

 

 

 

[Ikon]

She gave me a hard-on!!

mine

 

 

though i hear the virus is good, I actually hear it ep ep ep

[Ian Cashman]

i got a nova too and my virus fucks it up the arse with a strap-on

[Signum]

hehe, I sort of wish I'd gone for the virus in a way, ut I got a good deal on the nova

[Ian Cashman]

my nova never really gets a look in now really. ive been always slightly unimpressed with it really...tho you dont like admitting it to yourself when youve just spent nearly £600 on the bastard. its just got no real special character to it.

 

nova is [censored] at pads, the phazer is crap,the filters aint that good and theres no modulation routings for the really interesting stuff. it just leaves me a bit cold. the basses can be ok, but id like it to do more for me.

 

when it comes to trance there are certain sounds that you need to be able to do (eg. big washy pads and lush leads). the nova just seems to stuggle where the virus does them effortlessly.i couldnt live without my virus now.

I'm want a Virus C!

[Ian Cashman]

james....if you want to start your studio soon and as cheap as you can but still retain the quality...

 

get yourself logic...the m-audio soundcard and a virus c

 

you seriously wont need anything else (unless your greedy like me and money burns holes in your pocket).

[James]

nice one mate - will deffo consider that i think.

 

REALLY want a Supernova 2 - seen the rackmounts for £600 - cant wait to get my hands on one full time.

 

Also after a Proteus 2000 - although i think there is a new contender out - Proteus 2500 ?

 

2000 - £489

 

2500 - £589

supernova is the same engine as the nova, its just got more knobs on, more polyphony and 2 more multi-timbral parts

 

...take note from above(my mates got one,so ive used it a lot)

[James]

yeah, but what about Supernova 2 ?

 

[Ian Cashman]

same sound engine...all they did was boost the multi and poly spec. i really wouldnt recommend them unless you ve bought everything else that you want

[James]

aha ! clever marketing eh!

 

o well, in that case i'll prob just go for the lower end spec. Its not like i need really really pro stuff yet and can always upgrade to something else later on...

[Ian Cashman]

i can post some sound bytes if you want

 

dont get me wrong...the supernova / nova is a lovely synth...but its kinda outclassed by the virus...imho
