Jon, do you still need help with this? I used to work for Allen & Heath and might possibly be able to hook you up. Long shot, but thought I'd ask... |

Possibly. Anything I can do to drop the budget would be awesome. I've spent more time using a GL2200 than all other desks put together, so reasonably familiar. What were you thinking of? |

Well it really depends on your budget I could probably do you some kind of ex-staff/mates type thing, but I'd need to check in with my peeps. I presume you're still wanting to hire, not buy? Or does that depend on how much of a bargain it is?! Have you looked at the Zed range? the Zed-R is a freakin' awesome bit of kit, but possibly overkill for what you want. AFAIK, it's still the only thing that does everything it does in one box and it sounds incredible. |

The Zed-R does look like a seriously impressive bit of kit, however I suspect it is going to be seriously over anything I can afford. My current plan is to hire a Midas Venice from Stage Electrics here in Exeter. It is going to cost £40 for a weekend, and I can't really increase that amount drastically (budget not set by myself). My real priority is to get a desk with two mid range sweep and cut/boost controls, as opposed to just some cut / boost controls at pre-set frequencies. Q is useful, but not essential for me. Currently the Venice is the cheapest way I have found of achieving that, but if there is something that you could arrange I would be very grateful. Edit: Whilst £1700 is well out of my price range, it's a lot less than I was expecting that desk to cost. Clearly spent too long looking at Midas price lists |

Glad you like it I tried to make some calls on your behalf today, but a couple of the people I need aren't around. One won't be until Monday, but another could be tomorrow. If you wanna got for the Midas, fair play. If you don't mind waiting a day or two, I'll look into it for you. Stage Electrics would've been my first shout for a conventional hire, but there might be another way.... |

We're not doing it until the 7th August, as that's the next weekend that Caroline and myself are free, so plenty of time. |

Where are you going to be doing the actual recording? Studio or somewhere else? |
