Anyone have one? I just ordered one today, should be here by Monday... Looking like it has some really nice emulators in it.

Check it out...

its pretty solid little piece... i use it lightly on hats and snares and vox... It is literally a perfect match of the L1just minus the pretty looks, lol.


This Liquid Mix is making my stuff sound just 10 times better in the low end.. i am amazed! I am using the Focusrite Green Strip Emulation for the compressor, and the SSL-E emulation for my EQ. In the chain after the LM, I am actually using the Clipper and the Brickwall Limiter from the T-Racks stuff... its polishing out pretty nicely!

Be sure to see how it works in your setup. If you get problems, just add an aditional card
Works fine how i did it... not sure how. I read stories on the web of lots of people having problems, but it somehow is working... "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" lol so i'm not gonna fuck with why its working...

So now i just gotta figure out where to start with this thing....lol

It gets here today and I cannot wait to hook this thing up... I plan on taking all the tracks from my upcoming full length album and mixing them down again with this!!!

Have it. Also have Focusrite FW soundcard and PowerCore FW unit.... 3 Heavy FW units, but i got an extra FW card for the Expresscard slot on the Macbook and now it works pretty good. Having all those Comp's and EQ's at your DSP-fingertips is awesome!

I have been eyeing this off for a while and would like to buy one sometime down the track. Theres some really nice emulations and it doubles for reducing the CPU because the processing isnt done by your CPU - which is extremely useful if your anything like me and always putting some serious load on your CPU.

It is amazing, however I had issues because I only have one firewire port and I use FW audio interface. So I ended up selling. It really is a nice addition to a studio
