    Making TRS patch cables

    Would the mogami wire be worth the extra price for such a short distance? It's basically between the canare and mogami. Do people using patch bays use the quad cable for patch cables?

    Making TRS patch cables

    it's sounds like from what you're saying, needing the best quality i would go with the quad cable. So my next question is, why is the quad cable cheaper than the normal 2-conductor....doesn't make sense to me.

    is there a reason to use quad cable vs. 2-conductor cable for TRS patchbay? Would the sound quality change?

    Making TRS patch cables

    Making TRS patch cables

    50 is probably a more plausible number. I'm setting up a patch bay for the first time. I have never had my gear patched before, so with 8 ins/8 outs, 8 pres, a couple compressors and effects, and patching, it's come to about 50. Is that unreasonable? I'm normalling most everything. Brandon

    Making TRS patch cables

    OK, i think i got it. The tip and the ring each get two of the 4 wires in a quad cable and the shielding goes to ground. Is there an advantage to the quad cable. It seems like the connection would be more reliable, but why is the canare quad cable $0.01 less than the canare 2 conductor mic cable?

    Making TRS patch cables

    i do know how to solder, that's how this whole came about. I figured i might as well take advantage of that know-how and possibly get a better quality cable for the money. These cables are going to be 1-2 ft patch cables to my patch bay. I recounted and figured the most important connections...

    Making TRS patch cables

    It looks like all the microphone cables are 2-conductor. Am i correct to assume the other connection is the grounding wire covering within the cable. Does anyone have any good links about making your own cables? Thanks, Brandon

    using an RNC with a Studio Projects VTB-1

    You don't need Y cable, the RNC was made to use the insert in a specific way which is really convenient. Just plug a TRS cable in the insert of the VTB-1 and the other end in the MONO INPUT of the RNC. The send and return run through that same cable and it should be all good. Hope this helps...

    cd track continuation ?

    Ed, I read up on montage and have a firm grasp on how to use it and the functions it's capable of. The audio montage is the exact utility i was in search of to create this crossfading. In regards to your comments on the 200 ms track start, i noticed that if you let wavelab create the...

    RME multiface or delta1010?

    When i say money is no issue, i meant the different between the RME and 1010. I wouldn't mind shelling out the extra money for the RME if it was worth. If money was truely not an issue, i don't think these two cards would even be on my list. I would head straight for apogee or something like...

    benefit of broadcast wave files?

    is there a benefit to recording and mixing down with broadcast wave files rather than normal wave files? i know the broadcast files hold information like artist and song, but where would that be useful? Brandon

    Has anyone purchased from RecordingServices on ebay?

    I was actually thinking about getting a joemeek vc1qcs from them. i emailed them a few times with some general questions. They always responded, but with a weird attitude. They've been on ebay for awhile, so i doubt they're scam you, but i don't know. I just got a weird vibe from their email...

    Benefit to go with 96k?

    Is there a huge difference in audible sound quality when switching from 44.1k to 96k? I've heard a couple say that it doesn't really sound that different, which taking up twice as much space on the hard drive and bogging down the processor even more. any opinions would be appreciated...

    RME multiface or delta1010?

    By no means am i a professional recording engineer. I am someone who enjoys recording my own music and is interested getting the sound possible without spending loads of money. I'm about to venture into an 8i/o soundcard. Money is of no issue in this situation. I wouldn't mind going for the RME...

    cd track continuation ?

    i thought about the crossfading thing, but that would almost fade in the track and fade out the earlier one. I don't want the beginnings to be different sounds or anything. I want it to be a constant note that holds throughout the end of the first track, and through the beginning of the...
