Thanks Mr. Bob Sonic Wizard for your candor and honesty for qualifying your personal experience with VCA faders on your SSL and thus breaking the idiot-wide anti-VCA mindset mold in this industry.
This has been the biggest negative perception that has kept the studio crowd away from ANY and ALL analog VCA mixers for years becasue of this crazy cognitive dissonance that VCA is 'sonically evil' becasue somebody might have once said that, and the herd immediately followed the leader off the cliff and stayed in that mode ever since because that's just the way it happens.
Folks looking for an alternative OTB mixing experience need to relook affordable analog VCA mixers, even if they DO NOT want to use the flying faders if included. I personally don't because I hate flying anything on any desk, and when I want to fvvking fly, I jump out of an aiplane or jet at very high altitudes and freefall and fly ... nuff said. Examples are Allen and Heath, Soundcraft, Midas, etc., live mixing boards that are very well suited for any studio task. Mod what has to be modded for patching and monitoring and playback and surround and whatever else you need to accomplish your professional/commercial tasks -
