Where to buy gear in Melbourne?

Acoustic Warfare · Post by **Acoustic Warfare** » Sun Jan 07, 2007 2:38 pm

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

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.

Arck in north Melbourne is really good, the guys in there know their shit.

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.

Im keen on getting an Akai MPD24 in the near future. do you guys stock those?

JoyRiderz · Post by **JoyRiderz** » Wed Jan 10, 2007 4:11 pm

yep, we stock the Akai stuff. just spoke to Direktor about this - no MPD24's yet, about 3 weeks away.

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.
