Buy a 610-Mk2 valve preamp and get a UAD-2 Duo DSP accelerator free

That's a £1k bit of studio kit thrown in for nothing!
Oh dear more ££ :twisted:

And the LA-610 is a really nice studio channel. It's excellent for vocals.

Looks like UA is trying to clear out the shelves for their next gen of product!

yep, consumerism never ends

It looks like a good deal but I would be a right mug if dropped £1300 odd on this right now! I'm still learning mic placement and signal chain things. I'm sure they make a bigger difference in terms of improving your sound than a mic pre. It does look tempting though. I want a MacBook Pro so I can go mobile! I'm seeing opportunities to record and make a few £ all around me these days. :-)

Johnny, it's so easy to get caught up in the equipment rat-race, and it's so not necessary. My recordings sound vastly different over the past 4 years, not because I keep buying new gear, but because I kept practicing and working on improving my technique and methods. There have been plenty of blindfold tests done with various microphone preamplifiers, and it's VERY hard to hear the differences [if any actually exist] once something is recorded.
You are absolutely right; 1 microphone, well placed, will sound better than 100 that are set up incorrectly.

Very well put!
It's easy to get carried away and wanting to buy new gear to keep improving. I haven't bought new recording equipment for quite some time. My gear is pretty simple and cheap and I have nowhere near exploring my gears limits.

Thanks :D
Yes, I'm learning new things all the time. When i see deals like that though it is tempting.

Tell me about it. I am a plugin junkie! They're like Pokemon! :)
