DIY Monitors?

Has anyone done this? I've done guitar and other larger speaker cabinets in the past and I'm sure I can handle the carpentry... I just don't know which drivers to use and X-over specs, etc.

Get a Rode NT 2 or an NT 2A (around $500), a pair of Rode NT5s or a Rode NT4 (around $500) and then get a 2 Channel API clone from www.regularjohnrecording.com/ (around $750) and you'll still have $250 left over.

That's a solid setup there.

Here's what I was going to do based on what I have in terms of ins/outs... The only piece of outboard gear I have right not is a FMR RNC... everything else will come in time and I'll expand the bay as needed..

thoughts?

Right now, Black Lion IS NOT modifying the Digi003 rack + factory. I don't know why, as they do the 002 and 003 Rack. Get in touch with them for details. Where did you hear that? I got a quote from them a few months back for one... I don't remember how much but I would contact them directly to be s...

there's an easier way to do a cap discharge...

you can jumper from pin 7 on the first preamp tube socket (usually closest to the input) to ground.

-> Expandability: In order to increase my available inputs and outputs past the 12 included (w/o an extra A/D conversion) I'd need to find something that can daisy chain via firewire? One thing to remember is that computers typically only allow one audio interface at a time. So you can't just add a...

Console.. I should look before I leap!!

So I am in a major transition from a small 16 channel ITB mixing rig to a 32+ channel OTB rig... and I'm possibly in over my head. I should be receiving my Soundtracs MRX withing the next couple of weeks and I am in need of some hookup advice... I am picking up a Pro Tools Mix|24 system from a guy I...

Digital ins/outs are convenient because they allow you to add digital devices without the need for another digital to analog conversion. Ideally you will keep digital signals digital as long as you can so you only have to convert them once and digital ins/outs allow you to do that. One example is wi...

Here's a question I have about automation... I'm using Pro Tools TDM 6.4 on a Mac.

Assuming I do get my console to control the faders on Pro Tools wouldn't my level changes be made twice?

Re: This seems like a crazy idea...

So I'm going to be getting a Soundtracs M series console... very exited to start working OTB. I've been ITB for a couple of years and as a former FOH live sound engineer I miss the tact... But something I'm going to really miss is the mix automation... This is more than likely a crazy idea but has ...

Going back to some of the concerns about analog mixing... I am making a transition to an analog mixer... I've not had a lot of "hands on" experience but a few guys I've talked to have used an expensive digital camera to take very detailed pictures of the board, and all of the gear used to get the so...
