Does anyone know if one of those huge Allen & Heath 40 channel GL2800's can be easily made smaller? It seems like it could just be a matter of unscrewing something and disconnecting a ribbon cable to bring it down to 16-24 channels. Is that something a hack like me could manage? I really don't need ...

do you record by yourself 4 or less inputs at at time? or are you recording 5-8 tracks? i ask because you can get away with a 4 buss machine if you're recording by yourself. the fostex machines have a feature where you plug inputs into Input 1-4, and leave 5-8 empty. when you are tracking those 5-8...

Any particular A&H or Soundcraft mixers I should be looking for? Aren't some way better than others? Seems to be a buyer's market for used Analog mixers these days.

Hi folks, I'll try to keep this brief. I bought a Tascam M-1600 a while ago to pair with my Fostex R8. At first I thought it was a great match because I really like the feature set, the auxes, the busses, the D-sub out, and the -10 standard on the outs (iirc), for the most part works seamlessly with...

I can't remember ever coming out on top when I had a disagreement with a FoH guy as talent.

Most sound-guys are dicks.

Not that I disagree, but you usually don't get better sound by pissing them off from the get go.

I was always under the impression that FOH guys hated it when talent shows up with those things, but I could be way off. I haven't done FOH for years. (Decades?!)

I recorded this in honor of July 4th, 2019. http://www.snarlnet.com/BOOM.mp3 It's very weird. Recorded on Fostex 8-track. I don't feel like it made the jump to digital very well. It sounded so much better monitoring straight out of the mixer. Any tips for encoding something with so much low end rumb...

You're including a custom transformer for the $50 price? That's amazing. When you said motor, I thought you just meant the ribbon suspended in the magnet. I'll go 2.5 micron for $50 (x2).

I'll take 2 and I can pay!

In college I made one out of 3 parallel pairs of household wall switches. Screwed to a piece of plywood. This was after my Hafler power amp. I figured the Hafler could sort out the impedances and stuff. Just flip on the speakers you want. Kitchen, living room, bedroom "studio". It lived on top of my...

I'm confused. What are you selling? I'm interested, but not clear what you're offering exactly.

The day I spent clearing out my studio and then moving my speakers all around while playing test sweeps was very, very illustrative.

In my mind it would depend super heavily on what the arrangement was like.

I have a fostex 1/4" reel-to-reel right near a drum set. I've never been able to evaluate my drum skills though. I've been playing for over 30 years? I can do a paradiddle.
