As time has passed, the most important improvements have not surprisingly been changes at the center of my whole setup. Monitors are the last thing between electricity and your ears, but if you have multiple pairs and switch back and forth all day, it's really all about how you're shuttling your audio around. It's been a constant evolution, trying to put together a setup with a good workflow where I can make informed decisions. Different mixers, different tape machines, different digital formats-all sorts of gear has come and gone. Moving the whole thing around all the time, I've had a lot of different setups.
I've kept things as mobile as possible, as I've done a lot of "studio to go" in the past. My own studio has been in flux since day one, just like everybody else's.
And probably destined to be Dangerous Music's Eagles Greatest '71-'75 - maybe even Beatles '67-'70. I'd have to say that after spending time with the D-Box, I think it's a complete smash hit. The idea seems to have been to keep the same Dangerous attention to fidelity, have a few less features, but get the price to where people can afford it.
Dangerous dbox plus portable#
With headphone amps and talkback, you have a very portable and extremely high-fidelity center to base any studio setup around, no matter where you are. You've got an 8-channel version of their summing bus technology, monitor routing with components from the Monitor ST, and a DAC that's based on the one in the Dangerous Monitor. It's a "greatest hits" of all their designs and components to date, wrapped up in a 1RU-height unit. According to Dangerous Music, that was the major impetus behind the design of the D-Box. Modern recording is a fluid proposition, and the need for small-footprint, high-quality gear is increasing. you can plan all you want, but you're going to be making it up as you go along, no matter what. Mixing might be anywhere, on the fly, a small room for this, a larger studio for that. You head out and record in somebody's cabin, next week you're back in some larger place doing overdubs, editing in the other room as other people are tracking. Your session changes locations from here to there, maybe even daily as you bring the studio to the musicians. At home on a laptop, in some studio doing basics, probably to a computer, but maybe you're using tape.
Hey kid, wanna make a record? Lord knows how you're going to do it.
