Boulevard Of Broken Dreams #3

Now, this one, unlike the two I put up before, would actually have been a viable product. I was pulling for a bundle called “Konsole,” of console equalizers based upon the German 60s/70s cartridges you know and love. This is, again, only a mock-up; you can tell from the darkness of the rendering that I hadn’t even really worked on the lighting yet before I stopped.

Why didn’t we do this? That’s a good question, and I don’t really have a concise answer. Mainly, the costs associated with obtaining several different cartridge EQs to clone, plus the time cloning them, plus the fact that there is one company (URS) that really excels at this sort of thing and we didn’t think we could do it better, plus the results, due to the time and expense, wouldn’t fit in our normal pricing model.

So, the above image (click for the full size) is as far as we got; that’s the UI for the Neumann PEV clone, which was the only cartridge I had at the time the idea was floated. So it’s more of a proof-of-concept than an actual “okay we’re gonna do this,” then stoppage.
