I was wondering if anyone has a good list of capsule manufacturers from around the world, especially europe and all price ranges. Thanks

Sorry just me being stupid.

I think ive got what i need now but ive just got a lead on a cheap soundcraft and i think i can swing it with the wife so i have to move fast. It doesnt have both a mic and line in. Just mic, insert and line in/out. So if i was using line in/out to go to the recorder how could i have a line...

Thanks. I always use quality cables and connectors. At the moment it is the single insert on my current desk, i wasnt planning on sending this to a patchbay yet as im happy to just to repatch on mycurrent bays with the cables i have at the moment. I'm having some niggles with my desk and...

I can,t believe how simple it is as ive just been way overthinking this in my head. Thanks so much for clearing this up for me.

I know about the patchbay usuals. I think? I completely understand what youre saying now and that was what i was trying to describe in the first place. So i think i just need 3 12 channel xlr patchbays 24ch for mic inputs to the desk and use the oher bay to send to my pres. Only question is...

Do you have your pres assigned to a paticular channel on the desk or are you free to assign them to any channel?

Ok, so I think I have it from that set up (what console do you have?!). however, I am concerned on how much i would connect the XLR patch bay on the left to all the desk ins on the patchbay on the right. I know I can just use line out cables from the preamps to the jack patchbay into the desk...

I wouldnt want to do that as i prefer my console pres most of the time to the outboard. I really want to just have the blank canvas where anything can be pluged in to anything without having to get behind the console or the rack units.

So if i had an xlr patchbay to plug the snake into where would i go from there? Would it be ok to use an xlr to jack patch cable to choose to go to either the desk or a pre? Im just concerned about making a problem in the chain somewhere.

Also what would i do about plugging in in the control room

I've never used preamps with the insert channels, i was once told they dont work like this.

First things first - I'm running a 24 channel console into a 24 track digital recorder. So I both track and mix using the console and outboard and in my studio i have a live and a control room. I want to be able to easily plug in to any channel from both the live and control room. So far I...

I am trying to record a new track to an existing song as the bass line was messed up. I cannot find any way to do this. What am I missing? Could someone please walk me through it? I have copy and pasted my original 8 track song into a new 24 track song and want to kill track 5 and record on...

Thanks guys - this has helped me a lot
