I’m just gonna get it.

Anybody familiar with their Sta-level, Altec Graphic or Avalon eq? I am not really in a mood to spend a bunch on plugs but I use Sphere hardware and graphic eqs all the time. I think they’re great for making things fit together. And they sound good just doing a single 2 db cut at one frequency. I like the UAD API and Motown graphics as well, but maybe the Kazrog plug would be redundant.

And Sear Sound was home to some Jim O’Rourke productions and had some kind of crazy desk with Avalon modded eqs. Otherwise that brand seems kind of dorky.

Anything else you can’t live without? It better either give me Insignificance or Skip Spence’s Oar. Nothing in between.

Kazrog Red is ok. It’s like a cross between an LA2A and a 176. Right now I have it on a vocal send, drum bus, bass, and steel string acoustic guitar.

It’s super great at bringing things forward when things get busy, that is probably the most notable thing about it. Otherwise you know what it does and can probably see it coming from a mile away. Does not have the Fairchild fairy dust.

Anyways, I dunno, I could have gotten an Electrodyne or Omnipressor or Unfairchild plugin that sounds more fun but it would have bugged me until I bought this thing.

I also got the UAD Little Labs VOG since it went native as I had been wanting one for forever. It really can make carve out space between the kick and bass fairly quickly. $50 seems expensive for this thing but I bet I will use it tons. Something like this I would actually like to see a comparison between the hardware and plug.

I wish they would do the Cooper Time Cube next, that’s the Gimme Danger delay.
