Buddy bump!

This is (I think) the original Blue Mikey. It has a dock connector for fitting to older-style iPods etc - it doesn't fit the more recent models with a Lightning connector. I used it with my 160GB iPod to make live gig and rehearsal recordings like this brief (mono) clip: [url="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32485154/MyGenerationBassSolo.mp3"]My Generation bass solo[/url] It may also work with older iPhones but I can't guarantee it. It definitely doesn't work with my iPad though. The mic itself has 3 different sensitivity settings. To use it, plug it into your device, then open Voice Memos and choose the quality setting you want. When you're done, either delete or save. When you connect your iPod to your computer it automatically transfers the recording into your Voice Memos folder. Simples! Comes in original box with instructions. £22 delivered in UK.

Handy bump

[quote name='gelfin' timestamp='1480541652' post='3185320'] I've been using one of these for years. Fantastic bit of kit even if the tech is a little old by todays standards. A bargain at this price. [/quote] Thanks gelfin, can't argue with that! OK some more pluses and minuses as they occur to me: [u]Plus[/u] 250 virtual tracks for storing alternative takes Main and monitor outputs Digital in and out on SPDIF coax connectors Real faders and pan pots for [u]all 16[/u] record/playback channels plus master fader Real gain pots for all 8 analog input channels - ideal for location recording, compared to the costly 8-channel interface you would need if using with a software DAW on a laptop or tablet 6 rotary encoders to the right of the display, for quick access to channel EQ and FX settings [u]Minus[/u] The hard drive can make a bit of acoustic noise Not the easiest bit of kit to learn (but easier than Roland kit IMO!) I am pretty open on the trades front - if in doubt, drop me a PM Any tech questions about the machine, ask them here or follow the link to the manuals. Here's something I recorded recently on the DPS16: [media]http://cdn.bandmix.co.uk/bandmix_uk/media/292/292159/57753.mp3[/media]

Compressed [size=2]BUMP[/size]

Bump for a stocking filler Swiss Army knife gadget.

Forgot to mention the installed hard drive is 20GB. Although this is small by modern standards, it still represents a hell of a lot of track-hours at full CD quality. The hard drive in the external bay is 10GB so plenty to back up individual projects but not the entire 20GB disk.

This pedal combines the metal-can chip of the original Dyna Comp with the benefits of true-bypass switching, external DC power, LED status indicator, and internal trim pots. I used this pedal frequently on guitar when I fronted a country trio, until it was ousted by a Cali76 (natch). It sounds fat and a bit dirty, and also a bit noisy if you stop to listen. It is in very good nick, complete with box, manual, and knob cover for adjustments using your toe(!) Bearing in mind the noise thing, I am letting this go for [b]£40[/b] delivered in the UK.

This is a very handy bit of kit. It accepts jack or XLR inputs, provides up to 60dB of mic gain, and has switchable phantom power. Ideal for creating extra mic channels when you only have line inputs left. In excellent condition, boxed with 9V AC power supply (note - that's AC, it won't run off a Boss PSU!)

This Akai DAW was very highly regarded when it came out in 2001. Of course things have moved on in the last 15 years, but it is still a capable performer.

I never got on very well with computer recording, much preferring hardware like this. It includes a 4-bus fx board, and has the last-issued software version (v3.02). For collection in person / meet-up, I am also including a SCSI drive bay and cable, containing a hard drive and CD burner plus spare cassette. NOTE: this machine does not do USB! Condition is good for its age. All pots and jacks work well, except for the headphone output on the front of the unit, which suffers intermittent connection. Some of the membrane switches are rather stiff. The display is a little dim, but perfectly legible under indoor lighting when optimised with the contrast control.
