I wouldn't mind hearing the X-EQ with a Duende, would that be possible?

Yes. The plan is we'll do an Auralex Acosutic Job on their demo room too.

The rack in the picture is a working unit supplied with cables etc to plum into their system.

X music's Jimbo and JJ are all ready up to speed on Duende (more so than I, if the truth be told)

You can hear it in situ or there'll also be a demo one available to take home one you leave your first born and you left Nad as a deposit ....

T.K.O.

Hello all,
Just joining the thread now! Id like to say congrats to the Musician Inc heads for all the hard work thats gone into xmusic. It is a great shop and im sure will continue to get better. Its good for people to point out the problems, it will help them to improve the shop for future.
All i can say is that we as a band have spent a hell of a lot of money in Musician Inc and will continue to go to Xmusic now. Its only down the road from our studio which is handy!!
Anyways, thats my 2 cents,
Peace y'all

Any sign of the online store being ready for business?

I find it difficult to get out to the shop as I don't have a car.

I imagine there are lots of potential customers out there who would be very happy to shop with these guys online.

Can you confirm if the online shop will be in place before Christmas????


Thanks.

Wow, this thread has grown arms and legs since I saw it a couple of months back! Just to quickly introduce myself as Enda from Futuresounds, we are fully behind X Music and definitely agree that they have a momentous task ahead, in getting such an operation up and running to everyone's satisfaction. Fair play to them, people from the UK have been talking about doing this for years, and I for one am delighted that X Music is a fully Irish-owned company. It will probably take a couple of years to get such a monster running at optimum levels, but in the meantime, please support this great effort to try and raise the bar for Irish musical instrument retailers: if you are not happy with any aspect of X Music, please say it, instead of walking away, as they will accommodate you as best they can. This retailer is making every effort to listen to its customers, and your feedback, good and bad, will mould and shape it into something we can all be proud of.

Just in case anyone is wondering (and also to use this opportunity to deliver a detailed and completely unashamed plug for our brands), we supply and support X Music with the following:

Ableton
Access
Akai
Alva Cables
Ask Video
Celemony
DigiLE
Earthworks Mics
Focusrite
Jazzmutant
KRK
Manikin
M-Audio
Mogami Cable
nord
Novation
Pigtronix
Propellerheads
Roger Mayer
RME
Universal Acoustics By the way:

Mr. B, are you bringing Auralex along on top of all the Universal Acoustics foam we supplied them for the Hi-Tech Room? Ireland's answer to Felt Mountain awaits ;0)

Just to finish by saying this: our company has managed to survive for five years, despite the fact that Hi-Tech equipment is at best, feared by most MI retailers, due to savage online pricing. We have been waiting for a retailer like this since we opened, and at long last we have a customer that is not afraid of our products, so a big thumbs up from me, long live X Music!

Good Post Enda.
Good to see you up on here too!

Let's see how the lotto goes tonight then ..:pac:

Hi folks, we're bringing 2 of the guys over from Digi on the 7th of Jan for PT8 training, just wondering if anybody is interested in coming out to X Music for a Q&A session? It would have to be an afternoon session I'm afraid, as the guys are flying out that evening. Pending interest, I'll pencil in a time, say 12pm-2pm? Cheers..

is it possible to participate in this training or is it only for staff? probably a dumb question

PaulBrewer

Who thinks they might be out on Tuesday? Just so's I've an idea of numbers?

Richard from SSL will be doing a Presentation at 1.30 pm but we'll be knocking about all day so if you're around at all please pop in and say Hello.

The rack in the pics is there for 'Onsite Mauling' but we also have another set of units for Demo. i.e. Take it home to your own studio to try if you're considering an SSL acquisition.

Not at all: if it's quiet, there may be opportunities for mini training sessions, and these guys know their stuff.

Point taken, it's hard to believe it's not included!!

Sounds fantastic please do put me down Enda

Hi Enda,

Will you stick my name down on the list too. Certainly a demo run through/tutorial of PT8's new features would be greatly appreciated. Save me having to RTFM.

JJ

Emoran

PaulBrewer

All out to X on Tuesday!

SSL's man will be there all day answering questions and doing a presentation at 1.30 pm.

He'll also be training the X Staff to get them up to speed on the SSL buzz.

If you're in the area come in and say 'Hello' .

There may even be some Freebies ...

Unfortunately I have to work on Tuesday.
I will go along to the next one though.

The dancin' girls are booked, the Fireworks are in place, The Garda Motorcyclists are all ready to clear the M50 from the Airport for the arrival of the SOLID STATE LOGIC Motorcade tomorrow, Tuesday at X-Music .....

If you're in the area come out for a chat it should be good fun. We'll be there all day from 10 to 6.

Come out and see/hear what all the fuss is about!
