Well, most of the equipment is now in place in my tracking/mixing space. I have some older cables to connect the rack gear to the board effects send/receives, but I want to get something better and am considering making my own. I am looking at the Neutrik NP3X or NP3C connectors and need some...

I bought a 24 channel Gepco snake last year with Neutrik connectors to hook my board to my HD24. The individual cables as they fan out seem to use VERY thin wire, even thinner when I unscrewed the jack and looked at the 3 wires inside each channel run (3, they are trs). Is there a certain...

Hmmm....re-mounted some of my equipment yesterday from a standing rack to the spaces on the new console I built, and the Pro VLA didn't want to fire up. Nada, nothing, when I turn on power. It only had about 20 hours of use prior to storing it for about a year and a half in a climate...

I'm thinking that I should get one. Sure, the AC has a filter, but there is still dust that will get in via shoes, existing dust from construction (though I hope I got most of it), clothes, etc. If you do, any suggestions on models or performance specs?

Most of you are familiar with my little project by now, but for those who aren't here's a recap: **I have one room for tracking and mixing **Stand-alone building of concrete block structural walls, wood rafter roof with Hushboard and a sheetwood finish, decoupled 5/8" gypsum interior walls...

I have a Mackie 24.8 with meter bridge, outboard gear and an HD24 hard disk. I have one of the desks you buy for keyboard/computer at MF and similar right now, but all it really does is support the board and monitors while all of the outboard is in a tall outboard rack that is probably going to...

I am getting ready to hang the last few pieces of Auralex behind the mix position, but am curious as to the sf that is recommended. Do you think more is better, or I still want some reflections? I have two MiniTraps (by The Man's company, Ethan Winer's RealTraps) in the corners, and have (3)...

I posted this some time back, but am curious as I've read the PCM70 'swirl' (I think that is the preset) and the PCM80 seems to have something similar. I need an effect that gives a circular motion, in the simplest terms I can speak, for a particular passage in a song. I haven't heard the 70...

So along the mixing axis of monitors, in my case the longer axis of the room, I understand walls should be the same angle coming off of the front wall behind the board, which my dull walls are a standard 90 degrees from the front wall and run parallel to one another. HOWEVER, does the same...

I still put quotes around the term studio, because it is a combination tracking/mixing room and probably not a true multi-room professional studio that one's thoughts may conjure. Anyway, I experienced something really inspiring to me last Thursday night...I have worked on everything from the...

I have a box of Auralex 'metro' 2'x4' panels (12) and (2) MiniTraps (I'm sure everyone knows, but just in case there are some newbies, Ethan Winer's affiliated company, 2'X4' rigid fiberglass panels). My tracking/control combination room is 12'x13'-6". Currently I plan on diffusive panels on...

I always support products where I think support is due. Haven't hung the two RealTraps I bought from Ethan a month or so ago, but my 'studio' (stand alone recording/tracking/mixing room) is almost complete. So it came the time today to go and buy the hardware to hang the RealTraps, as well as...

By recommendations here, I finally found a 32 that I bought. Oh yeah, via ebay....again :eek: :eek: I think by talking with the seller this reel machine will be a winner as opposed to the MSR16s (which I haven't given up on yet, btw, it's just not going back to the same tech...I'll have to...

So many options and opinions, but what do you actually have in your mixing room for bass traps? Did you build them yourself? Did you buy them pre-made? What are they made of? What size room are you using them in and how do they work in that room? Just curious. :) :)

How much of a difference could one expect between the two? I haven't heard Genelec, but have heard the Mackies and think they are good. Any thoughts from someone who has used both? And what about the 1030As for nearfield as a sole monitoring system?

Any particular lifetime expectations on when a monitor loses elasticity in the surrounds or just wears in general? If so with regular daily use, how many years if not abused? Thinking of buying some used monitors.

Just wondering what I should expect to pay as well. I don't want B stock that has been refurbished. I've been checking musiciansadvocate on ebay which of course claims to be legitimate. Just wondering if anyone has a suggestion on where I can get the best deal on a new A stock PCM91 or where...

I'm almost done with my little studio building project, have a new HD24 for tracking (don't flame me....remember my MSR-16S that seems to have the terminal defective Dolby disease) but am looking for a 1/4" mixdown deck. Balanced outs on my 24.8, so I would like to stay +4 and get a balanced...

When I see these on ebay, sometimes sellers claim 'in David Gilmour's rack' or something to that effect. Cool and all back in the day, but being a bit more old school Floyd I read that as "that great Dark Side of the Moon or The Wall sound," but that would be well before the PCM70, wouldn't it...

Bass trap theory is easy enough, but I have a pitched ceiling, roughly I would say a 1:12 pitch. Bass traps go 90 degrees on the wall union, but my ceiling is not flat. So where would you suggest I place bass traps...all the way up until the ceiling pitch, at the bottom, at the top, or...
