Hi everyone! :) My current experience/workflow is a good one. MacBook Pro connected to a Samsung T7. The T7 holds my projects and my sample libraries. So far all good. Since SSDs tend to go up in smoke with no warning, I back up to a Samsung T5 (and a secondary RAID archive on am ancient Mac Pro. Al...

Try Microphone Parts http://microphone-parts.co.uk/
for, well, microphone parts! I've built 2 of their kits - very impressed. They do ribbon parts now too.

Thanks, those look perfect!

Definitely on the right track there?Thanks!

For a while I've been making my own custom cable ties with this stuff: http://www.thomann.de/ie/tesa_cable_manager_5m.htm Thing is, when I loop it around the cable and glue it, sometimes the glue works loose after a while.

Thanks Jim Just recording through one of your Microphone Parts kits!

Hi everyone, thanks for your help so far with this console - the refurb. is really coming along! Some of the transistors appear to be noisy (and some are blown), so I'm going to start replacing them all, starting with the output boards.

Sorry, should have searched first

going to do some didgeridoo recordings - thinking an RE 20 on the bell and an MKH 40 a little back. Any thoughts on capturing this instrument?
