This is something… #Repost @rupert_neve with @use.repost ・・・ The 5088 Custom LEGO® Building Set is back… …and it’s even better than last year’s. @dtriangle (aka Numode aka Arran Hearn) knocked it out of the park again by adding a penthouse, some upgraded speakers and accessories you might recognize, plus a classic tape machine - because why not. We made 300 of them this time around, they cost $175 USD each (€175 EUR) and they go on sale next Wednesday, December 7th at precisely 12pm EST and no earlier. Mark your calendars - they might go fast. You can get them through our webstore at rupertneve.com if you’re in the USA, or at numode.net if you’re in Europe.

    New product alert! The @seelectronics DM3 ($139.9 New product alert! The @seelectronics DM3 ($139.99 CAD) is an active inline DI with Ultra-HiZ input and an impressively compact design - built to stay by your side, so you always get the best out of your instruments! Based on the well-established DYNAMITE technology used in the DM1 and DM2 - the DM3 reinvents the active inline DI to a new silent standard. Its Ultra-HiZ input and the dedicated Class-A output buffer amplifier preserve the individual sound character of your instrument with flawless detail. Ideal for sources ranging from vintage electric guitar / bass pickups to piezo-equipped acoustic instruments and high-output sources like keyboards, synthesizers, drum machines, and laptops, to name a few. Thanks to its massive headroom and switchable attenuation pad, the DM3 can handle the roaring output of a 10,000-watt solid-state power amplifier. Its three-position ground lift switch features a unique "on+" setting reducing not only buzz and hum but also undesirable radio interference noise efficiently. With a lockable ¼" input jack, the DM3 provides a secure connection in the most demanding, fast-paced live or recording environments where snags can happen. Built with a robust, all-metal housing and an inline form factor to save precious space, the DM3 is less of a box and more of a compact all-rounder (pun intended). It certainly is the key to great sound!

    Our artist of the week is Christopher "Wellington" Our artist of the week is Christopher "Wellington" Danuco! For Wellington (@wellingtonctyt), music had always been a part of his life from covering songs on drums and acoustic guitar to the occasional karaoke time with family. Wellington had developed his skills and applied his knowledge in the sphere of Music Production and Audio Engineering while concurrently completing his double degree at York University, graduating in 2021. Wellington decided to freelance for a couple of months which later led to his opportunity recording and mixing at 669 Studios with the direction of Audio Engineer, Dominic “Dot” Okune (@dotdaengineer). Ever since then, Wellington now works out of (@669studios) as an Audio Engineer and Producer, in addition to accepting work through the @engineears platform. Wellington’s philosophy focuses on authentic relationships, professionalism, creativity, and having a growth mindset. He also has a fascination with space and movies alike including; Interstellar, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Arrival, and Alien, to name a few. These movies sparked his interest in creating a signature sound which he calls “Vintage Space”, a soundscape of future technology brought to the 70s-80s and adding modern Hip-Hop elements to the mix. Wellington finds that Merging Technologies’ (@mergingtech) high quality converters and preamps from the Anubis Pro Interface are one of the main components for his “Vintage Space” sound. This is where both his fascination with space and philosophy coincide. Wellington believes that music and art - as known to be a universal language - transcends through time and space. In times where we feel far away from each other, music brings us CloserThanYouThink (CTYT). Some of his credits include “NeverWonder” a 2 song EP performed by @zariusxx (Produced, Engineered, and Written by WellingtonCTYT) and “Outerspace Ain't It” performed by @kee_bay (Produced and Engineered by WellingtonCTYT). For more on Wellington, check out our link in bio.

My first time hearing the @seelectronics Gemini ii it immediately gave me that smooth sound you want to get when recording dialogue for radio or narration. Yet, it wasn’t overly big or boomy in the bottom, like some “warm” sounding tube mics. It sounds very well balanced and would require very little tweaking, if any, when #mixing Currently priced at $1,999.00 CAD and would make for a very fine vocal mic in most, if not all, situations. At this price you are getting a mic that sounds as good as many mics that are twice the price. #micmonday
