    Studio Build Documentation

    Here now are the pictures of the finished studio with all the gear wired in and set up. Long haul to get it all done...more work than the pictures reveal...but it's finally finished. Anyway...see you guys. I'll be in the new studio recording most days. Life is good.

    Studio Build Documentation

    Just passing through...someone on another website reminded me that I never posted the acoustic traps assembly pics...or my final, completed studio pics in this studio documentation thread...so I'm just here to do that. Don't really plan on coming back to hang out here...I've moved on...but who...

    Tascam TSR-8 V Fostex 16 track Half inch tape

    You are not accomplishing anything by separating the +/- conductors of a single balanced cable to create two inputs. It's actually a half-assed way to achieve the result of combining two signals to one track. What you did is no different than using a Y cable from two sources and recording them...

    Tascam TSR-8 V Fostex 16 track Half inch tape

    He said what he said because that's how it works. You know...when you get your gear working...try it and find out for yourself rather than endlessly rejecting what people are telling you as if you know something everyone else doesn't...when it's actually the other way around. Not trying to...

    Where do pro studios get their tape...?

    I was just checking out some NOS 456 reels on eBay, asking the guy to provide me with the date codes on the box so I could decide if it was safe or not (it wasn't, made in '92)...and I started thinking about how NOS reels are becoming less and less listed. :( In my situation...I have accumulated...

    Removable vocal / acoustic recording room

    If you want to simplify your life without needing to make any kind of temporary vocal booth...just use any larger closet in the house, with the clothes in there. If you have a walk-in closet...even better.

    Studio Build Documentation

    Here are some of the cut ends...first I cut the whole cable to release the snakes from the rack...then I cut all the ends from the patchbay connections. At the other end, I did the same with all the XLR connectors, because those are all reusable and they are mostly good quality Neutrik...

    Studio Build Documentation

    I certainly wasn't going to sit there with a soldering iron removing every single connection for an audio snake that was no longer going to be useable. :D This is how it went...only instead of the chainsaw, I just used a large tree pruning cutter. :eek:

    Studio Build Documentation

    I've been buried with other work (some of it mentioned in previous posts)...but I hope to be doing the final assembly of the acoustic panels starting sometime next week. I finally started emptying out the new studio from all the stuff I had to temporarily store in there the last few weeks...so...

    Staying objective

    Great stuff. I've been using SD for a long time now...that said, I'm still keeping the drum kit (actually two of them now) in the new studio space since I'll have the room now...but realistically, I'll end up doing more SD drum tracks than live ones unless I hook up with another good...

    Acquiring Reel Tape

    Mmm...I haven't bought any tape from a retail supplier in a long time now. My tape acquisition has been more about cherry picking NOS listings over the years, to where I now have quite a stockpile, and could ride on it for a long time. I just picked up a couple of NOS reels of 499...and most of...

    Staying objective

    Did you get another studio up and running? :thumbs up: I recall awhile back you had to break down your studio...kinda move on from it...?

    Guitar Grip 'Reaper' Promo

    I can't believe the guys spends almost 4 minutes talking about his guitar gripper and all the positions, etc...and never once actually shows it with a guitar in the gripper. Talk about lousy marketing. :facepalm:
