Michael - your selection of the Canare Cable piqued my interest so I checked their site and found this:

This is a grossly over simplified answer: But basically there are two main approaches to pre amp design: Discrete and IC. A discrete pre amp is made up of discrete components typically transistors, resistors, inductors and capacitors. The circuit topology generally involves a couple of gain...

jkrummri - Your site looks really nice however, it would load much faster if the pages were not just big pictures. The text would load instantly and since you use the same buttons on different pages, they would be cached on the first load. The other pictures (of the studio) can be made so they...

Nice. Thanks Kevin.

Has anyone had any troubles using Sonar 3 with 2.2XL created mixes? Any issues with effects/plugins etc?? Just curious, I expect Sonar 3 to be delivered today or tomorrow and was wondering. Thanks Kevin.

Kranky - you got it right. The mic goes into the pre, the pre goes into a line input on your board. To make it much more flexible, as riley357 suggests, wire the pre output(s) and all your mixer line inputs to a patch bay so that you can patch the pre in to any channel. This also goes for the...

Heres mine - just plywood and 2x3's. You can see a bunch of home wrecker desks at: http://www.lsfsound.com/homemade.php Got some pictures of your desk? I'd be glad to add them to the gallery. Cheers Kevin.

I had similar problem recently with my MS-16. In my case it turned out to be the guide post just before the heads, the one with the set screw. The screw had come loose and the post would slowly drift enough to move the tape vertically on the heads. Check that the set screw is tight on that post...

Or this one? https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?s=&threadid=98482

In order to convert the 440 amps to mic pre's you need to add a transformer. Ampex made one for these units that plugs into the 8 pin plug on the back. These (the xformers) can be had on ebay every so often for about $40. The boxes do have a black plastic plug in the socket by default. The...

I don't think it is mis-leading. It was a rehtorical question really... maybe 48K is the best sample rate to use I'm not sure. I do know that the main difference in music capture between analog and digital still remains that in digital you take a snapshot of the signal every so often and...

Once the signal is converted to digital, all processing is done in the digital domain... eq, compression, reverb etc... It is sonically better to do the procesing on as much information as possible so that the processed signal is again as close a representation as you can get. If you record at...

It does amaze me that people use the words "high reliability" and "Microsoft windows" in the same sentence sometimes. :D :D :D

>NORMAL MODE “32khz” “DAC (what's this?)” It indicates how many samples per second your your machine is taking in the Analog to Digital conversion. The higher the better (sounding) but as Ed pointed out, the more samples per second, the more disk space consumed. The up side is that a higher...

I thought lava lamps were the foundation of all recording.

For a band, I'll do the same as Bear... have them play live and go for keeping just the drums. Any other keepers from that are gravy... I had a band in a couple of weeks ago and they nailed drums & keys in one take. The bass and guitar were next then leads & vocals. For soloists, it depends on...

Leeking - Glad to see another StudioMix user! It is a great way to go for controlling Sonar. Cheers Kevin.

Here is another idea though paint is not the best program for this. You should try and grab one of the demoware programs like SmartDraw and do a scale drawing to make life easier. Cheers Kevin.

Chris - you do not seal the front just the cavity behind the fabric. These are like a bottle... if you blow across the top, the air resonates inside, if there is a hole in the bottom of the bottle there is no pressure build up and the air won't resonate. These traps of course don't generate a...

Check out the pictures and plans of stuff built by people here at: http://www.lsfsound.com/homemade.php And let me know if you have something you would like included. Kevin.
