    Studio Build, cable run question

    I'm still a bit confused about patch bay's...I understand about the whole normalled, half normalled, open stuff in jack patch bays. But wouldn't that mean I'd have to hook all my mic inputs/outputs up to the patch bays with XLR-TRS cables? All the XLR patch bay's just seem to be an in on the...

    Studio Build, cable run question

    Yeah I've bought jack connectors for the wallplate in the live room. Which will connect to the speaker run and into the head. Then I'll have to plug a speaker cable into the wall plate and into the cab. I bought a 30ft speaker cable pretty cheap off the net from somewhere in the UK a couple...

    Studio Build, cable run question

    Haha, the only reason I went to Maplin's is cos I thought someone would know what they were on about, and I couldn't think of anywhere else not online that sells audio cable cuts. I got all the xlr chassis, jack ends and snake from studio spares. I got there and asked the guy behind the...

    Studio Build, cable run question

    Hey guys, so I'm currently building a studio (studio build thread will probably follow in a few months) and I'm now up to the point to start installing the cable runs from the control room to the live room. So I have a couple of questions... 1)I know I want to have heads in the control room...

    Latest mix 5150, SSD and Joey Cymbal Pack (Misery Signals, Volumes)

    Thanks for the feedback guys. I've done a new mix, changed a few things. After a couple of listens comparing it to the old one I think it sounds better. Empires Fade - The Highest Highs 2 Harsh hi hat's are fixed. When you say 'the snare is fake', do you mean the sound of it, or that all...

    Latest mix 5150, SSD and Joey Cymbal Pack (Misery Signals, Volumes)

    This is a new song by my band Empires Fade. I think it's pretty close to being finished, but it would be nice to have some other peoples ears/ideas on the mix. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5054823/EF%20THH%20V1.mp3 This is definitely one of my favorite mixes I've done, I finally think I've...

    Gear Upgrade (API 3124+)

    This is the first time I've been able to get back onto the computer to check this thread. Ideally yeah I would like 4 channel's, although I suppose I could get the A2D and just put the 2 OH's through it. Then the hats and china through the 003/D8 still. The M Audio Profire 2626 and Digimax...

    Gear Upgrade (API 3124+)

    Ok, so after an afternoon of research I've found out that neither the 003's pre's or the D8's pre's can be bypassed. Can anyone recommend a cheapish preamp instead of the D8 that the pre's can be bypassed? With ADAT so I can connect to 003. Will this work?

    Gear Upgrade (API 3124+)

    Absolutely, I'm only really gonna need 4 channels max at a time anyway. There's no point in me choosing something else for now then in a years time deciding I really want an API again. I would have just wasted money on something else. So is it not possible to run it through a 003 whilst...

    Gear Upgrade (API 3124+)

    Forgot to ask...does anyone have a 3124mb+? Do the differences justify the extra 800ish quid? I've only been thinking about getting the 3124+ but if getting the mb is better in the long run then it may be worth saving up a bit more?

    Gear Upgrade (API 3124+)

    Cheers for all the help guys. Yeah I've just been looking into pads, basically everyone on other forum's is saying they run really hot, and that whoever gets a 3124 should get some Shure A15AS's too. They're about £40 each though. Just googled H-Pad but I'm not one for using a soldering iron...
