    Tascam 388 Story...

    Nice! if I hadn’t removed mine to put it in my console desk, I was going to make black walnut ones for the 520 as well! Looks great and I love the way you combined the meter bridge

    Tascam 388 Story...

    I made new black walnut side panels for my 388 The only things that appear to be wrong with my unit is a dent on the front arm rest that I think corresponds with the broken “glass” front of #7 VU meter. The meter still works and lights, it’s just missing the plastic lens. I have a replacement...

    Balanced/Unbalanced patchbay questions

    Hey @BeGrody Thanks! That worked and I finally got the signal I wanted through the MPA!! Outputs to patch bay nicely too.

    Balanced/Unbalanced patchbay questions

    You know, that’s a really good point! I’ll never plug anything into those rear inputs except mics and my main reason for wanting to use the MPA is for condenser mics, so I think I’ll disconnect inputs from patchbay, put some pigtails on it coming out of my console that I can easily plug a...

    Interesting Microphones - less common mics - and tips and tricks

    I have the Electro Voice “twins”: “The Cardinal” condenser and “The Raven” dynamic mics that I bought many years ago. They are a beautiful design, I think Blue was responsible for the design of them. They are adequate, but honestly nothing special beyond looks and expected functionality. That’s...

    does anybody here have a studio in a 10x10 space?

    Thanks, it’s a common Virgo trait! ???? Clutter gets in the way of my creativity and I follow the danish design concept of “Hygge” for spaces.

    does anybody here have a studio in a 10x10 space?

    My studio is a 10x12 building. I have it pretty packed full but organized. One tip is to keep as much off the floor as possible and it will feel bigger. Definitely a one or two person only space though.

    My studio build

    That faceup sidecar was something I had researched online, found a few for sale, about $800 shipped. So I built that one for about $120 total (I already had the rack rails), and a few hours of work… so in an effort to save money, it was during it’s construction, drilling a 2.5” hole on the back...

    My studio build

    The top one under cover is a newly acquired Akai AX-80, it’s going to need some soldering to get the buttons working again, a known issue. Then a new battery, new eprom OS upgrade that will allow for MIDI sysex patch loading and it will be ready to put into action. I have everything MIDI’d...

    My studio build

    I think the wide angle lens makes it look like it's really way over there but the tele is just within arms distance since I use all the patch cables and patch bay easily over there, there's plenty of room to move around. It's just me, occasionally one other (usually my wife, hence the sofa...

    My studio build

    Working on it! Finally starting to get some time at the end of our tourism season here, then i go and break my (dominant) hand!! A few more weeks recovery. Still so much to test and calibrate, honestly, I’m in way over my head. This whole studio started out as a simple music room and along the...

    My studio build

    New Pics as my studio ”evolves”. I built that little “face up” side car and it’s working great, no more getting down on hands and knees to configure!

    Whatever happened to Macle (JL Songs)??

    I found him here many years ago, back in 2011, I think. Had a few conversations with him, even emailed back and forth a few times. He was kind enough to send me an MP3 of “Fuck that Shit” after I told him how much my wife and kids absolutely loved it and would request it on road trips all the...

    I still have the original bondi blue iMac that I preordered at Javits Center in NYC in 1995 when I went to MacWorld Expo!

    Love the vintage mac and early gear collection there! My first mac was an SE, I also had a Quadra 800, which was one of my favorite towers ever! :)

    Can’t decide on headphones

    I like my AKG K240 (open back) for mixing, AKG K271 (closed back) for tracking. AKG has never let me down!

    Balanced/Unbalanced patchbay questions

    Balanced patch bay did the trick! The DBX is a nice unit for the money and I’m thinking about replacing all my old ProCo patch bays with them. Some of the plugs on my ProCo ones are getting loose and a real pain. Thanks all for the advice!

    Balanced/Unbalanced patchbay questions

    So, I started this thread thinking there was something wrong with my newly repaired ART MPA II preamp but it turns out it that its a patchbay issue. I'd really like to have this connected via patchbay to my console. I have had it connected via XLR out to 1/4" TS (unbalanced) in to patchbay and...
