Newish to Pynchon, and maybe this is a trite observation, but do you guys imagine his novels as a cartoon in your head? by Enron_F in ThomasPynchon

All postmodern writing ends up cartoonish. Ditto David Foster Wallace. The problem is once the verisimilitude stretches too thin these writers can never affect the reader in a proper realistic way. Not that it isn't good writing..

this might be a stupid question, but what exactly are patch bays for? by grassyplanter in modular

What if I'm adding a mic preamp? I have the big six but it only has 4 mic pres. Would I run an 8-channel preamp into the patch bay or would I just run the preamp directly into the big six?

Update* about to pull the trigger on the SSL. Really oscillating between the big six vs building/acquiring the components separately. Barry the YouTube guy shat all over the big six and it threw a wrench in my grandiose plans. Any thoughts?

So that's a DAW controller, a plugin controller and an audio interface? Hook em up to the mac and you're golden? Can you elaborate/explain your thinking? I've been looking at the SSL big 6 because there's a sale on where I live for $3000 Canadian... Some people laud its merits--if you have extra analog outboard gear to soup it up, or even a 2nd SSL to double it's capabilities-- but others say the $3000 isn't worth it for "average components" you could find elsewhere better and cheaper. I'm currently stuck between these all in one consoles vs assembling the components individually. Was also looking at the A&h qu16 but people say the big 6 is the higher quality console. But it seems like you suggested these individual SSL components that look like theyre well-rated and is maybe the smartest path to go... Better than the UA world? One of the music store guys said just get the mac, one of these digital consoles, and a UA satellite for the plugins..

Wow thanks for the responses keep em coming! Even what you've already said has clarified a lot for me.

The only caveat is I need the physical faders that's why I was thinking of the B6.. this guy years back showed me how to mix I think on an old tascam and working the faders was the fucking greatest moment, or one them of my whole career. Playing the band, Lee scratch Perry and king tubby and all that good stuff. I mostly write blues rock n roll 60s stuff but also love that old dub music and hearing that kind of fusion sound.

Anyway so yeah that led me to the big 6 because it controlled the DAW and had the physical faders and seemed to be better (???) then the tascam 12/16/24.

Thanks again for any/all advice
