I have a Radial six pack workhorse and it has a cool feature which allows you to cascade channels into the modules beside it with the flick of a switch so you can have a pre and to it's right an eq and then a compressor in the next one and run them as a channel strip by flicking a switch in the back...

were you using any unbalanced TS or RCA cables? or an unbalanced patch bay? that's usually the culprit IMO. Get too close to the computer (which generates a lot of EMI) and it picks up noise. No - I don't have a patch bay and everything is hard wired with XLR or DB25. My computer is about 8 - 10 fe...

Very interesting - i had no idea they could work this way.

Is that amazon one the one you use?

I'm using a big ol 30lb isolation transformer and called an electrician to make sure the power is run properly from the mains

Could you send a link to something like what you are describing? Also where does the transformer get installed?

Don't they just use a battery when the power gets cut abruptly?

That was my assumption as well. The battery is the backup source no?

Not sure how a ups addresses this issue ? The ones I looked at don’t have RF. filtering... Please elaborate.

I was fighting some high end freq last week when I was printing some mixes through outboard gear - it' was a constant high freq tone (2k ish) that was being emitted - not super audible except on quiet parts and intros/outros but annoying enough that I went and bought a $100 ART power bar that claims...

Sounds like a really fun project - but I'm not sure a 512 is really from that era you are describing and might be a little too aggressive/hard souding for the smoother vintage vocal tones. I'd go with a UA 610 or something a little "softer" that will not push the upper mids as much - especially with...

Thanks for the input guys. We tried this a few weeks ago and I opted to use external pres and make a mix on the board which I printed live to the tape - sounded really great! on a side note - I'm listening to some Alan Lomax recordings today of Mississippi Fred McDowell and noticing that they kind o...

I won an auction for an old Sony TC399 - my thought was if I could get it cheap it might be fun for messing around with - effecting stuff by running tracks through it - maybe drum submixes etc. I got it for $45 with a pile of tapes. No takeup reel was included so I am trying to just use one of the s...

i see - how about this:

on sale for $299 for the non-advanced version.

that MIGHT work... I have the Radial 6 pack workhorse and there's a weird impedance thing that happens when you have the XLR and DB25 simultaneously connected, it doesn't work and gain is all messed up. I actually called them about it and verified that it is not designed to do both at the same time....

So many ways to getting your crunch on. I almost always have a dedicated channel or 2 for sonic weirdness. Standard audio level-or rules for crushing drums. I have a 441 poking over the kick pointing at bottom of snare through whatever pre -> level or for mass destruction. Or a ribbon or LDC in the ...
