In order to understand the value of this listing, let's step through the math:HD Omni & HD Native Thunderbolt ........... $4400 at Sweetwater
Avid 8x8 HD io .......................................... $3500 at Sweetwater
Total ..........................................................$7900 ... and the sonic quality is LESS than what I'm selling here for only $3700.Here's what I'm selling in this listing:HD Native Thunderbolt .......................................... $750
HD Omni with Black Lion Audio modification ......... $1750
96io with Black Lion Audio modification ................. $1200
Total ...................................................................... $3700 ... and the result is top-drawer world-class.Black Lion Audio, in Chicago, has created a name for itself by gutting popular, price-point-driven Avid interfaces and replacing the internal components with high end pieces. High-end input and output stages, preamps, op-amps, AD converters, and internal clock. They lift the sonic quality of your gear to a whole different league. I'm not one to buy into hype, which is what I thought it was initially. Then I borrowed a friend's Digi003 which had been Black Lion Modified -- and I found my mixes and tracks were truly more fun to listen to, more fascinating. I'm not going to try to explain it like a wine-tasting comparison, but it's sort of like that. If all you know is cheap wine, you aren't really a believer until you have truly great wine appropriately paired with a truly great dinner. Then you "get it" and regular food is never the same. My experience with Black Lion Audio is similar. I don't know how to explain it, but the difference is sensory and very real. I'm selling this because I have duplication in my studio which I no longer need. Truly, this is a great value if you love sonic excellence. This auction does NOT include the Pro Tools HD Software license. If you don't already have it, you can get it through your local reseller or Sweetwater. You need HD software with these devices, so plan accordingly. And, if you already have Pro Tools HD, you're set. Although the 96io is an older piece of gear, the fact that it's guts have been Black Lion Modified means it is every bit relevant for today. This sale includes the necessary cables to sync the 96io with the HD Omni and HD Native Thunderbolt. It's turnkey with Pro Tools HD software. It's 12 simultaneous channels of premium i/o and clocking. PayPal only. Shipping within United States only. PayPal payment must be paid at time of purchase.
