    Looking for 1/2U blank rack panel.

    paint a piece of thin luan or plywood black, pre-drill some holes, and voila. or, maybe someone out there sells them. i've never seen them though

    Is it practical to build your own tube pre?

    My problem is i'm still doing electronics by numbers; i lack solid fundamentals that would allow the projects to go easier and with more success. For instance, i have no idea how to size a toroidal tranny for my 1176. Now i know i could go to Prodigy Pro, put up with the "use the search...

    Is it practical to build your own tube pre?

    i'm building two 1176 clones from the group DIY thread. the MNats revision. It's going slowly. I got interupted with doing three 10' 24 channel balanced audio snakes. And now, we're getting a new old console and i'll have to recap that. but i do plan to finish the two comps and box them...

    he and his staff are gentle in all the right ways, and will definately infect your studio with an STD. At least that's what the website says :) [well, in not so many words...:) ]

    Double track vox, yeah or neh??

    i think for some songs and singers it sounds great. On my voice i love it. But i suffer from a lack of vocal confidence, so it helps hide my inconsistencies. In my case, it's a crutch. In MOST cases of those we record, it is an effect. It adds a prescence to the vocal. It helps to bring...

    oh i shielded my cable all right but the shit got through anyway! Actually, i used my STD for the first time last night in a session for a guitar overdub. The amp was 65' from the control room, and yet there i sat, in front od le' console, in a puddle of my own excriment, recording the...

    So i picked up an STD from mercenary. Yep that's right, an STD. It's actually a lot better than you might think. For one, it allows me to do my thing from across the room, or even down the hall! Super far! After the itching and burning went away, i started to fall in love with my STD...

    Tascam TSR8 and DA78

    balanced to the DA78, unbalanced RCA to the TSR. You will notice a difference in output levels o the TSR as it's output level is -10dBV and the DA78 is +4DBu. As far as sync. if the DA78 outputs SMPTE, thread up some tape and stripe (record) the smpte signal onto an outer track, leave the...

    Focusrite Trackmaster Pro Channel Strip

    i owned a voicemaster platinum and recently sold it. I tought it was boring and most of the elements of the channel strip (deesser, tube emultator, expander) were superfluous and sounded fake. I thought, on the whole, the voicemaster was bland, cold and sterile. That might appeal to some...

    The cost of cabling

    same here. i build my own 24 channel balanced 1/4 " snakes. I built elco blocks for my patchbays. Once you're set up in a spot (our studio has a room we turned into a tech room where all the soldering stuff is) you're good to go. Now i have bulk reels of cabling hanging around in case i need...
