There appears to be close to zero information on these things, which has to be a bad sign!
Just that I saw a pair going for $200 yesterday and thought I'd check them out, but all I found was an abandoned thread on Homerecording.com.
I've heard of people still swearing by these in their studios. Or are they really just swearing AT them? I see these from time to time going quite cheaply in stores in and around Tokyo, but never in stores that can offer a decent audition, i.e., in a realistic space with good ancilliary...
16 track ADAT; Mixed on:Mackie 1604; Drums:crappy home-built mic pre rack ($8/channel!); Vocals: Rode NT-1 thru Studio Projects pre; Gtr: Behringer V-AMP; Bass:thru Z-vex SHO (used as a DI) straight into ADAT.
Mixed on those antiquated (but much-loved by Decca during the Napoleonic wars)...
In an attempt to get some consistency in meter level indication between my HD24 and Soundcraft 6000, I performed the following using the built-in 700 Hz test tone on the Soundcraft:
Sent the test tone to all channels on the HD24 and set record levels to 0db, or just below onset of clipping. The...
I'd like some pointers on how to use the patchbay on my desk (a recently aquired Soundcraft 6000). The 'manual' assumes you were part of the design team that created the thing.
I'd like to be able to patch in gates on various channels, global compression on the stereo mix and......well that'll...
I recently bought a 24-track Soundcraft 6000 desk (patchbay version) for use in my home studio. I am connecting to an Alesis HD24 multitrack machine. I would like to be able to use the desk's input channel strips (at LINE level) for mixing of tracks already recorded on the HD24.
Despite all...
The Soundcraft 6000 (with patchbay) uses a hookup convention I'm not at all familiar with: 56-way VARELCO connectors for the multitrack machine. Does anyone know where I can get them? I'm connecting to an Alesis HD24, so will need to terminate with 1/4" jacks. If I can only get hold of the...
While making a digital copy from one ADAT to another, track one on the recording ADAT was receiving white digital noise (registering LOUD on the meter, but only appearing as a low-level clipping sound through the monitors. I remedied this by shutting down and powering up while holding down REC...
Afficionados will say "no brainer.' I've 'reserved' a mint 24-track Soundcraft 6000 for sale ($1100). I already have the Mackie and am happy enough with it, although I can't make full use of the 24-track Alesis HD24 I've upgraded to. The Soundcraft is big, heavy and the most georgeous looking...
I recently picked up a couple of Sony Rev 7s for $100. I wasn't really expecting much from them, but like the sound of them so much, I'd like to get hold of a manual for them and do some tweaking. I'd particularly like to know how to change the sound settings for individual channels in order to...
I use a home-built, 2U rack of sixteen batt-powered preamps for portable recording, using 2 Adats. The pre's don't have phantom power, so I'm using 2 C1000s as drum overheads since they can use batteries. I've heard bad things said about these mics used as OH's, and I thought a thread here...
