    Remote Monitor Selector

    There are many ways of selecting between different audio monitors, the simplist being nothing more than a switch, rotary or toggle, that selects pair "A" or pair "B". The switch you'd acquire would be a 4PDT switch, with the center lugs going to the four amplifier outs (left +, left -, right +...

    power strips

    Steel under-console racks w/pics

    As always, I like making things out of steel. I've also discovered that toslink for adat-compatible equipment doesn't like long distances. So, I'll kill two birds with one stone - 22U of rackspace, in two 11U columns, underneath my recently constructed console table. First of three "legs"...

    Console Table Construction

    The rain stopped yesterday (sorta), so I managed to get some welding in the morning, and will have time to get some more done today. It's actually bearable outside, amazingly enough. For those that don't recall, my console table will be constructed mostly of steel, almost the width of my home...

    Midimonkey Produtions - Construction Photos

    I don't recall what I've posted or not, and for some reason I couldn't find my old thread, so if any of these are a repeat (the first few might be), my apologies). Post sanding... while it looks funny and rough in the lighting, all surfaces are as smooth as silk. I started using an electric...

    Midimonkey Construction continues

    After a long break (since early spring), I decided to finish up mudding and sanding. I'll be priming this weekend. I had hired contractors to finish up, and they showed up one day, did practically no work, then never showed up again. I can't wait until they send their bill, its been two weeks...

    Construction Announcement!

    Well, the summer blew by and I didn't touch my studio, so it remains dusty and unspackled. The contractors that remodeled our bathroom did such a darn good job, that I've contracted them to mudd/spackle my studio. $400 including all materials. Can't beat that. And there are a ton of nasty...

    ADAT Toslink Splitter

    I'm looking for a device, that takes one ADAT optical (toslink) in, and sends it off to say... 10-12 machines (Adat optical, toslink) out. Anyone know of such a unit? There used to be fancy switch boxes, but I really don't need something quite that fancy. I really don't feel like making one :)

    Midimonkey Update

    I haven't posted in a while, I also haven't been around for a while (due to work travel), and I haven't done a whole hell of a lot either regarding my garage loft studio. Sad, very sad. But yesterday I took the afternoon and evening off and moved a lot of the junk out of here. It appears I've...

    Avoid the Rain

    Everyone knows the cliche "when it rains it pours" but every so often one lucks out and when it rains, your umbrella works. Won a gentner 52-pt patch bay on skank-bay for a mere $19.99, and the seller said he has more. I asked if he had 16, he said yes, viola. Patch bay needs are complete...

    Midimonkey - Pics 171 through 178

    I decided to sheetrock the side of my producer's desk, and slide the countertop over the 3/8" to cover it. Sheetrock just looks so much nicer than painted plywood could ever look, so this works out. Also, this gives me a 3/8" lip on the other side, for mounting an angled countertop that...

    How to Run a Studio

    Warning - long thread alert. Not sure if this is of any interest to anyone or not, but I've been working on this on and off for a few months, so here it is. While the vast majority of us will be building and operating a home studio for our own projects, and possibly friends, I would imagine...

    rigid fiberglass

    Per John's recommendation I'm probably going to be applying rigid fiberglass in my vocal booth. I've seen sketches, pictures, and I have the impression its almost like a plywood material, in that its truly rigid, and can be screwed down like wood or sheet rock. Is that the case? I found the...

    Console Tables

    Greetings... this is probably more to Rick I guess... Anyway, starting to think about my steel-frame console table... steel offers me several advantages... its stronger for the same dimensions over wood, which saves space. I already have a lot of stock in the garage, so cost will be...
