Hey thats great! I wish I had thought about getting into recording at 15. I'm 34 now and can only imagine if I started at 15. Keep on doing what your doing and learn (read) as Im sure you already do as much as you can. Congrats on the Setup.


Peace Eddie

Don't worry about it... I can assure you that some of us have used significantly worse equipment early on. In fact, some of us still can't get rid of it :-D

Behringer does make some garbage, but the particular console you have actually sounds fairly nice. Considering what it costs, it sounds even nicer

 

[Nick The Man]

yeah it is the 3282A...thanks guys for all of the encouragement!

 

[Nick The Man]

i used oak plywood for the sides and i glued together three solid pieces of oak for the overhang and the console rests on some MDF board... ill post some other angles of it in the future

Nice desk Nick. If that mixer has the rocker on/off and phantom switches like the other Behri's I've used, be extremely careful with them. Make a habit of gently "rocking" on or off. I use to have a bad habit of "flicking" the switches and I've had three break on three different pieces of behri equipment. Probably partially my fault, but I don't think they invested in the best switches either. Keep up the good work.

 

[Nick The Man]

no it does not have the on/off switch for phantom power so i should be ok.... thanks for the heads up though

 

[MadAudio]

So does that mean phantom is on all the time? Make sure your mic cables are in good shape!

I just looked at the picture again and I noticed you have Wharfedales. Are those the 8.1 or 8.2?

Nice job on the desk. It would be cool to see it from different angles.

Well guys, its sad. Another one has bit the dust. He's a gonner. DIY already, and he's only 15. Nick, you don't know what you've got yourself into....this is the most addictive interest that man has devised yet. Quit while your ahead! Join the local GAA(Gearlustaholics Anonymous)..stay out of your studio at least 2 hours a day...get a girlfriend...collect stamps.....anything to
keep that next mix fix away...or the next design/build craving.. Oh, wait...you've already gone hybrid deep???? Oh well, your a full blown addict now. The only thing that will help you now is marriage and a wife who hates music Good luck!!(great job btw)
