Wow, lot's of talking about those pics
Looking amazing man! Very jealous.
Curiousity, what is the standard method for running cabling from one room to another in a pre-existing facility without floating the floor and building channels like you did? My setup is embarassing compared to what you've got but once I have my space this summer it's just going to be a control room and a live room that we're going to construct in the basement of a house and I'm going to run a snake from the control room out into the live room, but I'm not sure how to do it? Creating a passage between the walls would create too much of a problem with sound travelling between the rooms wouldn't it?
In my case, since I did the floating floor, the cable runs are between the wood studs, you can see it in the first pages how it was done.
If you don't have a floating floor, the best way is to have 1 insulated box on each room connected by cable on the same wall but not directly opposite, have a difference of 1-2mt between the boxes.
With the rockwool/fibreglass the sound will attenuate.
Something like this, (hope you understand my fast drawing, ignore the dashes)

It looks absolutely incredible man, but three 192's?! Jesus christ, who the hell are you recording that you need that many I/O options?
An orchestra?
Nope
A metal drummer!!!!!!
It's easy to run out of 16 mic channels
Think about mics and triggers
I may also record a band rehearsal.
Why do you prefer these Rack N Roll units over some fixed racks? I think they'd be in my way all the time...
What's all the outboard for if you're mixing in the box on PT??
The Rack N Rolls were chosen because I was getting out of space to put the gear, so these two will fit (most of it) below the console.
I have also a normal 3 and 2 bay racks on the sides.
Who said anything about InTheBox?
I use stems in to the Dangerous 2Bus.
The outboard is used mostly inline between the 192s and the 2Bus, or as inserts in PT.
My normal path is:
- Stems out of PT through the 192s (16ch)
- Pass them through compressors or/and Eqs
- Into the Dangerous 2Bus
- Stereo out of the 2Bus into Ibis EQ and then SSL FX384/Smart C2/Focusrite 330
- Then into the HEDD conversion and processing (normally Pentode and Tape)
- Then into PT by AES/EBU
Mix is ready!!!!
Yeah, but for example the Fatso is not the type of a comp that you'd use for recording but for mixdown from what I've heard. So what's it for?
WTF? PT can't handle mor than 24 Bit?? :zombie:
I use it more for mixdown, great on the Guitar bus stem.
