I'll echo the "lack of talented clients"

mercenary audio carries a device made by little labs called the "STD" signal transmission device. It allows you to have the player anywhere and run the instrument signal at line evel over mic cables. The special cable is 1/4 ts on one end (plugs into guitar) converts the signal to line level...

i am :) at least i really want to. and i wasn't busting on you, i figured it might help those that might take this project on. All of that said, it's not a tremendously expensive project, but it takes up a lot of room. I know Steve Albini's at Electric Audio is in the basement of the studio...

the problem is is that as the size &or density of the steel plate decreases, the high frequencies increase and the low frequencies decrease. Really, for an adequate frequency response, it shold be 3-4' x 5-6', and the steel should be 1/64" (don't know the guage). However, tensioning the plate...

well what i mean by dropping in is immediately during that session. Mics are set up singer is into it, just flubbed a part. We drop in. Taking down mics and coming back after two weeks to drop in a line is a no no

that's how we do it. somtimes we'll have to drop in on a line, but we try to nail the take first

$15k for cables? Is THAT the best cable for rap vocals?

pretty soon you'd be grinding up vintage neumanns and cooking them in a spoon, borrowing any belt you could find and shooting that shit... nasty habit this audio recording

yeah, i think it's all in what you want to hear. When i set up mic's on a drum set. I want to hear everything clearly. But "clear" doesn't necessarily mean "without coloration by the mic and pre, and rest of the signal path". Let's face it, every mm of circuitry that you pass audio through...

well, sterile and boring is a loaded term. I've never really wanted a preamp or mic combination to be sterile and boring. I'm making music, not foley or sound effect stuff for post. I had the voicemaster platinum pro and i thought it was useless for me. Now maybe there are folks out there...

agreed. Chandler products are a few steps up from the Focusrite Platinum line. Far superior build quality, far better sounding, and far more versatile. The TG series sound amazing. Haven't tried the zener but would LOVE to. I think the Platinum line of focusrite sound like shit personally...

this console is a yamaha PM2000 a FOH console. 32 inputs on XLR, no line inputs. MTR line level outputs to PM2k channel inputs. External preamp outputs to MTR inputs. All via patchbay. i'mnot using the board preamps on channels 1-24, only channels 25-32.

this is the yamaha pm2000 console. The only choice for channel inputs are the interstage patch points on each channel, or the channel inputs. I've been talking to fletcher @ merc who has one and i think he's doing it the same way. I don't think returning the MTR to the patch points is the way...

what i'm getting at is that at no point would i be intentionally flipping on 48v on a monitor channel, but if i were to by accident, is there potential damage. If so, should i disable the 48v on channels 1 -24. i think you've answered yes :)

these are multitrack outputs to console inputs

thanks! I agree that routing Mics through the PB is bad. But what i'm really worried about isn't routing the mics through the bay, but rather that because there is a global phantom power switch, does accidentally hitting one channels Phantom power (connected to a multitrack) run the risk of...

posted at G*slutz but they're a little slow today and i'm trying to order my cabling and connectors..... I'm about to begin installing our Pm2000 console. I was planning on wiring the last 8 channels to a mic patch panel for use as preamp channels, but i'm concerned about one thing. Each...

reamping can also be a fun and interesting effect. such as taking a vocal mix, and reamping through a tremelo guitar amp. Bringing up the dry vox mix and the term vox mix and mixing wet/dry. among a hundred other cool re-amp effects you can figure out.

perfect! thanks i'm going to finish the guitar today so hopefully all goes well.

ok that looks great. but where does the second tone knob factor in?
