I've always wanted a rotary mixer, I've played out one time each on a urei, bozak, and rane
Just mentioned last week in another thread that I'd probably get a Rane MP2015 with the XP2016 expansion, it's not really the unit I'd want but they are easy to find and I could get one at a good price
Wondering if there are any experts on this board that can walk me through the different options and give me a price guide (I got the money to drop a few grand but I'd need to be convinced)
Got 2 concerns, I know a lot of rotary mixers don't have a level meter and if they do it's usually master only
(I know rane makes a rack mount VU meter for that but it kinda messes up the aesthetic, would rather have it built in, also I'm a level nazi fyi so meters are a must)
The other issue is, I'd want fx sends with proper intuitive control, having a control for each channel would be dope but I'd take master only just as long as it's easy to incorporate into my mixing
(got a rodec sherman restyler analog filter unit, think it'd look bad ass paired with a rotary)
I'm setting up a play date with a local collector who has a urei 1620 and a bozak and he's also owned a few Rane's and an E&S that he sold off
So I should be able to get some good info picking his brain, he's a wicked rotary snob, straight off the bat he's telling me not to bother with the rane
But any info I can get would be appreciated
Where to buy, what I should expect to pay, various mods and options for each unit, do any have built in filters, what are the overall positives and negatives for each unit, etc;
thanks
ETA- I own a standard empath not interested in the rotary version, I want something completely different
