Hi,

I have just moved to Melbourne from NZ and i want to buy some gear so i can get back into producing?
I am looking at buying a Novation xiosynth or Remote 25SL and a Macbook Pro.
I have been to Allans in the city but that was a bit shit, the hitech guy wasnt very helpfull :cry:

Do any shops specialize in Hitech audio and recording equipment?

Cheers

Gotta disagree..

The only Amek 9098 Limiter I've ever seen in stock, was at FS.
Also RME, Pioneer, Mark of the Unicorn. Soundcraft , neumann.

Blah blah blah.

Yup, Harris from Joyriderz works at Awave, they're a fucking awesome store.

Located in Camberwell, give them a buzz on 9813 1833.

Also good, and already mentioned, are the lads at Arck - Marck's a good bloke there - knows his stuff.

Manny's is also worth a look, in North Fitzroy.

And Factory Sound - Luko, are you for real? I reckon they've got a good range, and good pricing.

Got the M-Audio Triggerfinger's in. But as Mr. Harris said, no MPD action for around 3 weeks...

And you're better off waiting for an MPD in my opinion.
