I used this one for the exact scenario you’re describing, and it works really well! Decent price too! BOSS - RE-202 | Space Echo

Not a suggestion as it’s very expensive, but…

I heard the Echo Fix EF-X3R in action earlier this year and it was mindblowingly good. You could put anything through it and it would sound majestic. If I had to choose between an original Roland and this, it’s a clear winner.

Oh yeah! That might be a good shout

They also do a Binson Echorec clone which sounds amazing too

New Mini looks great, 16gb ram as standard, and £50 cheaper, win win.

I’ve just ordered one! Trade in of my 2020 M1 £220 which is decent. Opted for 24Gb memory and base storage, and will use my 4Tb external SSD for projects.

Nice, let us know how you get on. My iMac has started to switch itself off randomly so won’t be long I’m guessing.

A very nice, free, phaser plugin from Soundtoys. They’re also doing the full 22 set for a bargain $69 for Black Friday.

Think my upgrade works out to £148 inc tax. I’ve been meaning to do it for years but I seem to get by on the Soundtoys plugins I’ve got :thinking:

Ah, it’s based on what you already own.

Has anyone got a 500 series set up, and could anyone recommend a good starter chassis?

I’ve been thinking the same. I got a free SSL Violet EQ 500 module with my BigSix. The Midas L10 Lunchbox looked pretty good value, but I have no direct experience.

Quick straw poll. Do you mix as you go or do you get your track all arranged, levels and balance done, then mix in a seperate session?

Or something between the two?

Do it as I go, mainly

Mix as I go especially kick / bass

Leave it a week or two

Do ‘final’ mix

Play back on different speakers

Get depressed

Repeat ad nauseam

Go back to ‘final mix#78’

Not happy.

Out of curiosity, listen to final mix #1

It sounds better than final mixes ‘2-78’

WTF

Realise 3 months have passed and it still sucks.

Abandon
