    More Rack Pictures

    Excuse the poor photography, its done with the lamest digital camera on the planet. Anyway, I ran out of rack space once I turned my console table around (some racks were in the way) so I'm building new ones with more vertical space to compress things. Its neat using deck screws and cut up...

    Autolocation needs?

    Greetings... Maybe some of you guys could point me in the right direction. When I had a rack of adats, my Alesis BRC worked well. Sold all of that. Anyway, now I have all akai units, four DR16's, and two DR8's. To remotely manage them, I control the transports using RS422 off one of my...

    Normal, or not to Normal

    No, I'm not normal :) Regaring patch bays, I just finished removing all the wire wrapping from the prior installation - what a pain. That said, looking closely at the ADC jacks, there are three. Right now the top two jacks are mechanically connected together, and the bottom jack has little...

    Midimonkey - TT Bay Wiring

    This is more of an informative message than anything. Recieved my recently won (ebay) 96-point TT ADC patch bay last night, and now I know why the guy wanted 40 bucks in shipping. It came with 96 wire-wrapped Mogami TRS cables attached to the bay, extending about 8 feet, to a bunch of...

    Marshall Electronics Cable?

    I have an opportunity to purchase some bulk TRS individually shielded cable made by Marshall Electric. I was told by a different party that this is made by Mogami, certainly a good cable manufacturer. If I may, is the above true? If not, is Marshal Electric cable worth installing? The price...

    Remote Control questions

    I've posted these in the cakewalk/cubase forums without an replies, so I'm hoping some of you masters can give me a lead in the right direction. Long ago, when my studio was littered with Adats, I used the Alesis BRC to run everything. Midi to the PC, adat sync/transport control to the adats...

    Wordclock Viewing

    I have a question I'm hoping someone somewhere, can answer. Does anyone have in their hands a link or a document, that fully describes what a pro-audio wordclock signal should look like? I checked it out on some of my gear, but didn't get far due to my oscilloscope having a bad day. I'm...

    My Console Table Part 1/4

    Greetings, I had promised a while back I'd post pictures of my homemade console table, so, without further delay, here they are. The first two pictures are the open table without all of the support pieces, and without the gear. I chose to build an open table (meaning no top surface) so this...

    Studio Construction Suggestions

    I’ve been skimming this BBS for a while now, and I’m starting to see similarity between the questions, so I thought it might be useful (maybe not?) if I put some of the studio construction knowledge I have together in one place, and ship it off to the group. Realize of course, my below comments...

    Alesis BRC to [other]

    I have a slew of Akai DR8 recorders, which has only a RS422 port on them. I have a Tascam TMD-4000 mixer which has both the RS422 port as well as two Alesis ADAT sync ports. What is the likelihood that I could connect my Alesis BRC to the mixer's transport, then in turn, connect the RS422 port...

    BRC to MMC Conversion

    Greetings, I have an Alesis BRC, an ADAT, and several AKAI DR8 recorders with MMC capability (as well as RS-422). I'm looking for a device that will allow me to connect the BRC to the Akai units via RS-422 or Midi, makes no difference to me. Connecting midi out on the BRC to Midi in on the...

    Studio Cabling

    Greetings, Upon the signing of the paperwork for my new house, I've decided to wire the studio "the right way", with wiring in between the floor joists rather than wrapped and tied across various surfaces that I wish to not have cabling (like the floor, ceiling, etc). Anyway, I was wondering...
