What audio gear have you gained lately?

s_k · 02-02-2011, 03:18 PM

So... I went out to pick up a tapedeck for a friend.
And I came back with... Well... this:

Looks like a heap of junk and most of it probably is, but there's some real rarities there! The Ghettoblaster is a massive one. Worth an awful lot of money.
Then somewhere on this picture is the first ever portable CD player. Bag, battery pack and power supply included. ****ing rare. Worth about $250. Insane

And there's a set of very nice Philips electret microphones too

I actually made a test recording with those.

I could make a profit out of this and still keep one mixer, the microphones, the ghettoblaster and the CD player. But I'll just play even. I have an address for the tapedecks already

Waves Mercury Bundle. (Vst processing plugs, over 100 of them)

Ohmforce - Ohmicide (Full version. Quad-band distortion plugin. Ridiculously awesome)

Amplitube 3 (Amp simulator with a ton of models)

Camel Audio - Alchemy (Vsti synth)

Rob Papen Albino 3 (Vsti Synth)

All of Fabfilter's plugs

Sonaksis - Studio One bundle (vst processing)

Uhe - Uhbik complete bundle (vst FX plugs)

And one of these:

Just one?

Bundle looks brilliant to me

Freebase Dali · 02-02-2011, 04:43 PM

Yea, those damn things get expensive after a while.
I wear adapters out pretty regularly, but I've changed the way I swap monitoring setups, so I shouldn't be yanking cables all the time anymore.

hehe... some tasty software up there. The Waves bundle in particular. Just that costs over 6,000 usd if I'm not mistaken. (I magically acquired all this stuff without having to spend anything, except for the adapter)

s_k · 02-02-2011, 05:04 PM

Adapters... Yeah. I use them too. The more expensive ones seem to be holding out quite nicely so far

But it would be ideal to attach jack plugs to your cables.

I also have some software I magically acquired. Most of it, actually.
I wouldn't get it the regular way anyway, just don't have the money.

Don't know if it counts as audio gear, the wife just bought me a NAS server for my music files, 2x2Tb drives, she's a good girl.

s_k · 02-02-2011, 05:29 PM

Well you're using it for audio only, so that's an audio gain I guess

Batty · 02-02-2011, 07:21 PM

Yes music streaming only, cost her nearly $500

s_k · 02-02-2011, 07:29 PM

Raid?

Batty · 02-02-2011, 10:32 PM

Yes, Raid 0 as there's only 2 drives, so one is a mirror of the other. All I have to do naw is work out how to get the SB Touch to read the files, it can see the NAS but not the files....................yet.
