Re: Delay any Delay buying :)

2003-11-02 by Roger Rossen

Lotsa good ideas rolling around on this.

I just wanted to ask - and maybe I missed a post on this or whatever -
 
Are we talking a 'stereo'  delay?  I ask this because, as I babbled 
on before about how delays and 'time shifting', etc - REALLY open up 
a lot of new sound possibilities...these possibilities are seriously 
diminished however - with a mono concept.

I realize this may offend any hard core 'analog' disciples - and you 
can always just buy 2 (which is good for the revenue stream, but less 
likely to happen on the part of the buyer)  yet I thing this issue 
should be dealt with from a 'biggest bang for the buck' sort of basis.

Or most importantly -  the biggest 'aural capabilties' for the buck

Somehow or other my MOTM is going to be stereo- "end of 
discussion...for me anyhow" - and I know we all know of various ways 
to accomplish this - but delays, are REALLY a whole new world, in the 
stereo domain.  And they get pretty boring -in mono, especially when 
you got a Lexicon (a few really good ones for really, really cheap 
comparatively speaking to yester-year)

Plus being somewhat of an anal 'supreme audio quality idiot' and 
having performed one too many times through Fender Twin Reverbs,etc 
(with 20 grand in keyboards or such) - I have long since determined 
that even my on-stage monitors be stereo.  Its just too damn 
depressing to have your $10K Kurzweil, Triton, etc.. coming out mono -
It drive me to pyschopathic proportions...and makes me want to kill 
all guitarist and anybody else who can sound great via a mono signal 
path!

I'll leave any discussiom on dolby 5.1 for a later date----lol

My 2 cents - 
(Thats all I have left - after buying way too many toys.!!!)
