Thanks Rob, My plan is to have the ART 16 channel XLR patch bay on the front of my vertical rack to easily plug in mics as needed to channels 1-16 on my console. By using the PB-32B (balanced patch bay) in between it and the console, and nothing is patched, it should just route direct to the...

That’s good, I’d prefer full normal for those units, but love that my ProCo PM148s are so easily switchable so I can use top and bottom as needed. Very handy!! Hope to get out there to test those meters tonight or tomorrow day. I’ll let you know what I find out. Oh, and if you ever want to sell...

Thanks, I’ll remember that. Yes, heavily exercised the switch and used Deoxit on it as well. No, doesn’t matter what source it is, nada. The Tascam PB-32p says it’s half normalled but when I patch, say, #5 to Track 1, no signal is transmitting (via meter on front of MS-16) to Track 5. So far...

What are your thoughts on this? I have a Tascam PB-32B balanced TRS 1/4” patch bay. My ART XLR 16 channel patch bay is connected to it, then TRS 1/4” to XLR going to my Tascam M-520. Although the preamps in the M-520 are nice, I’m trying to figure out a way to use my ART MPAII tube pre amp and...

SORRY, I’m an idiot. SOLO/PFL is not working on Stereo B monitors but in headphones. But it works via Stereo A monitors AND in Headphones. The only reason I won’t be using Stereo A is because i can’t get VU levels on 9/10, so I’m using Stereo B for monitoring via speakers right now. But the...

Yes, as the great Sweetbeats has said time and again: "RTFM again, then again!"

Okay, re-tested it just now. Operator error first test, glad I took another look since every day I'm learning more and more about this board. I had the SOLO volume knob turned all the way down over by the headphones. Turned up, SOLO works in both STEREO A and STEREO B just fine... but no 9/10...

Let me do another test today just to make sure I'm not being misleading by not remembering correctly. I DO remember that solo did not work in headphones though. I'll get back on this today!

Thanks, I'll try that 7/8 into 9/10 meter test first, it's fairly easy to get at. Removing the console will be a days work but I would like to sort it out before I do any tracking on the MS-16 b/c I think I'd really like to be able to use the Solo function.

So, I’ve been so busy and decided to just keep working on other parts of my studio for now, I haven’t had a chance to retest using 7/8 meters. Curious though, is the only way to further diagnose this problem to open up from bottom? Can anything be done from the top Of the channel section? If so...

Thanks everyone, good to hear others perspectives. Summing up much of what I see here, I think "follow your own" is the main theme. What comes out of our heads comes out and accept it for what it is. I know that many successful songwriters or artists it's really all about sheer quantity. The...

Thanks @spantini nice to know I’m not the only one. Not that I expect my songwriting to just magically instantly be the best stuff ever just because I am planning to really try this time, but I really want to try to find my direction, at least somewhere to start with a direction and then see...

Part 1:I get asked this question all the time when I tell someone I’m a musician or building a studio. I actually haven’t written a ton of songs on my own and at 50 years old now, I’m hoping to try to do some different things combining all my favorites and influences over the years. If I tell...

Not much happening lately, busy days at work. But today I was able to connect all (minus the new Juno-X that's on pre-order!) my synths today. The wires don't look near as bad as someone mentioned here in this thread. I will even do more bundling after I'm sure this arrangement is working for...

Getting a few more things connected. Still waiting on parts but enjoying my new space regardless.

More than I care to tell but less than I feared :P

This actually just happened as deliveries came in today from last week when I "thought" I had it all figured out, and in the time since, I have rethought it and now don't need what I just bought! Arg! That's it, I have enough now to get the basics wired and going. It's time to start using...

I thought about that, it’s pretty solid. Those 20” shelf brackets hold over 500lbs, are attached directly to studs with 3.5” screws (x3 ea. side) And the shelf is 3/4” plywood That is thru bolted to the brackets. BTW, I tested the shelf by standing on it. I weigh 177lbs. Not a creak or groan...

Got the 388 in place. Not my favorite way to handle it but for now, it’s in there and safe. As many of your know, it’s hefty, so it might be a little while before I can get to plugging it all in to use. Honestly if I hadn’t gotten such a good deal on the MS-16 and M-520, I would have just...
