Eventide and the beauty of not trying to stay current
I’ve had an H3000 for several months now, since I traded it for an MPC2500 with a hip-hop dude in harlem. However, just this week I finally got a working integration into my recording setup. You see, unfortunately the H3000 has XLR in’s and out’s. Initially I just bought converters at Rat Shack, but the levels are way under for guitar and the sound was quite noisey. Now, I have my Allen and Heath mixer going into the H3000 then into the computer, so that everything recorded in goes through the Eventide. Lately I’ve kind of given up playing electric guitar. My focus has been more on bass, mining samples for the MPC and playing Ukelele. With a full mixer and microphone, I’ve really been delving into the capabilities of the unit. SInging choirs with one voice, lush ‘verbs, weird rooms. And the unit is from 1990. I love it. Fuck 64 bit, fuck touch screen tablets running iPhone apps. I think I’ll hang here awhile.
