    NOOBS! Help us help you by NOT just quoting brand/model numbers.

    Believe it or not, I (and I suspect most of the regular noobie helpers) don't keep an encyclopaedia of exactly what type of device every brand and model number actually is in our heads.

    And with global branding strategies, lots of manufacturers are in lots of markets, making lots of different classes of audio device.

    I seem to be constantly googling your make model numbers to find out you are referring to so I can help you with your problem when usually, the problem is not actually related to your exact model device at all.

    So don't just say "I'm having trouble connecting my Sentient 24DX II to my Asterix 1540RR" and suchlike.

    Using additional descriptive words like "interface", "DAW", "computer", "microphone", "keyboard" and the like will get you a much more accurate answer much more quickly...

    Here are some sample questions so you get the concept...

    (a) What cable do I need to connect my Stellar DeGromulator 3346CCX interface to my JamBanana 56A monitors?

    (b)My band's incredibly untalented and ugly arsehole bassplayer is hitting on my spunkbubble lust interest girlfriend - if I kill him, can I plead reasonable cause?

    etc.


    Thank you

    /rant

    I feel much better now...

    That would be the IntraFlex PhaseCom Mk III supercable, dude

    But yes, I have to agree it gets very frustrating trying to decipher what is being asked.

    +1 to your suggestion Armistice

    To my ears the MegaTron 5000 Pro-Sumer-Giga-Biter platinum coated cables with the NewTrick 99 cent Studio Quality AutoTuner option sound much better!
