I was going to post this on my Tascam M3500 thread, but it is apt to what you've just said Miro.... My new RME UFX converter arrived today and I'm gob-smacked. I haven't used RME stuff since about 2005 when I bought a 2nd-hand Carillon PC which had a Hammerfall 9652 card in it. At the time I'd...

Thanks for that info wrkbee, I'll take a look. YettiPoop......no need for an apology for chiming in....I always think the more input (like a mixing console:D) the better. The console used to be grey I suspect. The owner before the one I bought from did all the cosmetics to the desk. New side...

Hey Alan, Thanks for that info. I was talking about final mix. Sounds like we're doing a similar thing. I got chance to record some vocals to a stereo backing track on the MSR24 last night, simulating a session to check out routing, foldback to artist etc. The mixer is running quieter now but...

Whooooooah! Very envious Miro......hope you enjoy it. Pity you're in the States or I might have been interested in the M3500. Enjoy! Al

Thanks for that Alan, I'll add those to the list of things to do. Do you run your CHANNEL faders and MASTER fader as normal? My definition of 'normal' would be MASTER at '0', input gain of each CHANNEL referenced to MSR24 (or finally it will be FOSTEX G24S), so that '0' on tape channel gives...

Thanks for the link to the Rick Wakeman / John Lord interview......absolutely classic / priceless. Al

So I cleaned the MASTER PANEL with the stuff Miro suggested and then applied the Gold stuff. It's sorted out everything except the 'SENSE' signal on the four EFX return solo settings....I can live with that. So I plugged everything in and eventually I had a ground loop from somewhere. It wasn't...

I've often heard or watched a band playing a song in my dreams. Sometimes I'll remember part of it, sometimes all of it. I get out of bed if I think the idea is a strong one and go to the studio and jot it down, or record it on a simple stereo recorder. I finished my first musical last year and...

To do multiple drums tracks you might buss it all to a stereo group then compress the whole group, but equally you could do each individual recorded track (usually just snare and kick) and then return these to the group and then compress the whole group. A multi-channel compressor like the...

Just noticed that last pic was from before. The console now looks like this: Guess what,,,,,turned the mixer on for this pic and GROUP 8 has gone AWOL :laughings: I'm pretty sure it's because of the contact between the BUSS TRAY and the card itself. I'll get some of the stuff Miro suggested...

Hi Miro, Thanks for the links....I've been using some Deoxit D5 that I had to buy from the States as the UK doesn't (or didn't at the time) stock it. I'll look into the links you gave. I haven't done any cosmetics to the console. The owner previous to the owner I bought off, had restored the...

Hey Guys....been busy! I did check back to see what you thought of my idea of replacing some of the inter-connects, but by that time I'd figured out that really that's a job for another day. What prompted this idea though, still remains. It seems every time I disconnect the Master Panel to...

WOW! For anyone doing any restoration work in the UK, I've just come across this site for connectors, crimps etc........It's probably going to take me all morning just to work out what the possible solutions to my wiring problems could be. Toby Electronics: 2.54mm Top Shrouded Cable Header Al

So I started wiring the studio back up yesterday and had a problem with one of the patchbays that came with the desk. It's a Neutrik NYS-SPP-L (Made in China). After dismantling it, it turns out a link wire was connected from one of the tips to a return, with also a track been cut. I'm not sure...

Who were 'Stephens'....US build? No I'm not planning on buying anything else. I've just got an engineer servicing the two G24S I now own. I managed to find new heads for both machines so as well as replacing all the caps on the second machine (I had the first one done before Xmas), he's fitting...

I was just looking at some stuff on You Tube and forgot that I must have seen this video almost a year ago (check my comment about a Tascam M3500). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXXK60BzzxQ#t=220.257515 But near the end, check out a 40-track 2" machine??? Al

Really nice looking job. Well done. Al

Hey Miro, You're right about the way some people treat their gear. The first thing I usually do with a secondhand piece of gear is clean it. I'm no stickler for cleanliness, but I swear you could catch something nasty from some of the gear I've bought. I did spray the tray with De-oxit about...

ARGHHHHHHHHHH! After two frustrating days dealing with Molex connectors I've decided to concede the battle...........but I'm not giving up on the war. I've dismantled the Control Room Panel about half a dozen times now and it's fine when it's on the bench. It only hit me after the final...
