Hi! Here's the thing. I am bouncing 11 tracks (using standard specs) to WAVs with Pro Tools (version M-powered 8.05). If I play the WAV files they all play correctly. But once I burn them to a master disc, if put the disc into a CD reader of a PC, VLC Media Player won't play track #4. The...

Again, thanks for your feeback. I've probably should have described our set-up better in the first place. I will remedy now. We play for fun, attached a couple of pictures of our reharsal room. I designed and built it and I'm quite proud of it. :-) There is four of us: a drummer, a guitar...

Thanks all for the feedback. There is no room where I am to put the mixer, and they would constantly bugging me with requests -> no deal. I would give them only access to a limited set of controls instead of equalization, gain, etc. and they would only do stuff to their own mix, yeah, not to...

Thanks! Just before getting your reply I was browsing through Y cables and figuring out an easy way to do it! Can you split a line after it has gone through the amplifier or will it lose level? I have a 4-channel headphone amplifier (Behringer) which supports up to 12 outs (3 per channel)...

Thanks! I see there is also a PS16 distrbution unit. I'll check it out carefully.

Ocnor, thanks for your reply. Indeed I see what you mean, I just wanted to provide the musicians a faster way to handle their submix, rather than accessing the mixer itself. Let's forget the aux for a moment. For example, I could route 4 outs from my mixer (e.g.: 1 drums, 1 guitar, 1 bass, 1...

Hello, I do have a band (4 people: guitar, bass, drums, vocal) and in our reharsal room we do have a 4-auxes mixer, and each aux is connected to a headphone amplifier. Hence, each musician has a dedicated mix. However, more often than not it happens that one wants more of something (usually...

Yeah, exactly. I'm thinking of getting one... If I do I will let you know you all how do I like it... Thanks again!

99.9% a Bock 151, btw. See attached picture - note the characteristic two-colored microphone grid.

Thanks all! @kip4: I am not 100% sure, but the footage looked realistic. @arcaxis: looks indeed a Soundelux/Bock. The new ones have a slightly different aestetic though. I reckon in the interview, Myles was talking about his personal equipment, while the pics are from the studio (Paint it...

Hi all, out of curiosity, can you help me identifying the microphone in the pictures? (That's Myles kennedy, lead singer of Alter Bridge recording the "Fortress" album) Thanks!!

Hi, I though to post an update. I eventually decided, for the moment, to get a 4-ins audio card to record 4-tracks live studio. I feed the drums, guitar, bass and vocals (including bg) to the audio card via the mixer's direct outs and/or subgroups. I think I can get a decent quality after a...

Something good, not exceptional - a PC with Win7, a decent dual processor (don't remember which at the moment), 8 GB RAM and ProTools 8. No other significant software installed, it's dedicated to recording. It works OK when recording (with the compensation for latency, etc.) but I'm afraid it...

Thanks alex! So a mixed signal of the drums is sent to a single (I assume stereo) channel of the Mackie. But what do you do when recording? I think your set up is great for a live studio indeed, I am probably looking for a more versatile solution. All the layout is very similar to ours: we use...

Thanks for the reply! @Mr Clean: do you think a 3rd card would add (much) lag between playing and hearing? The signals route would be mic > audio card > protools > (+effect?) > audiocard > powerplay > headphones. @McMajik: I haven't thought of that, I guess I could definitely unlpug some mics...

Yeah, well, I have been adding stuff for many years now... Anyway, any help about the issue I have? Anybody?

That's ok. So if I get it right so far we have: 1. Buy a PB (possibly MAMBA). I would take the 10m cables I already have, plug them into the PB, buy 3/5m XLR cables and go with these from the PB to the mics. 2. Make a PB. I would buy cable for about 10m per channel (160m), plus 16 female...

I'm in Italy - you got two of what exactly? I could be interested.

Do you think I can just "recycle" the XLR cables I have or do I need XLR female connectors? Can I just unplug the cable from the mics, and "mount" them on a plate? I would have XLR female connections anyway.

Are you guys suggesting to do something like the attached image? (I've found it online) I could give soldering a second thought, even if I already have many 10m XLR finished cables I could reuse (plugged into the drums mics), without the need to buy more. I would only have to buy shorter cables...
