if this is becoming a ssl vs api argument. some one answer this question.

why is it when i work in a room with a ssl, there is usually a rack of pres nearby, and there is usually several api lunchboxes laying around..and when i go into a room with an api.... i never see outboard ssl anything

People buy SSLs for routing and automation.

people buy API because they want it to sound good.

Tree 500 console is an API whore ...much more than API itself i think.really expensive going at about 40k for just case and faders

P.S. i know its practically on the same boat ..more expensive to have a full set rack filled with goodies but cheaper to expand~ NEVE5088 - plus you might get the extra cash on branding products available to use in your studio . The last one by Rupert Neve, it might turn into a collectors piece one day .. then save up for a manley gold mic and start making AMILLIONZ

I stand corrected on the standard fit, don't get me wrong,I would LOVE one of these things,it's just I can see the bath they are going to take on this. Especially when everything is getting smaller and cheaper,and lets face it. They said the same thing about a little company called Digidesign,about how they would NEVER catch up to tape and now look. The average consumer could care less how it gets mixed,they just CONSUME! US gear-heads are a dying breed I'm sad to say.

[RedSkullthagreat]

I'm sorry ,your pricing list threw me off a bit,can you re-organize it,so that it's a bit clearer?

Plus you can put other companies 500 series modules into the API if so desired. How cool is that!?

Will be around after SSL will no longer interface with new DAW's I'll take API -YMMV- :-)
