Thank you so much for posting this video. I’m sure I could’ve figured it out fairly quickly but having you explain it takes the guesswork out! You’ve been extremely helpful. ✌️
Jody Sloan I don’t think phantom has any influence how you ground. Has more to do with using different ground sources impacting ground potential variations on your power which ultimately show up in audio as a ground hum or buzz.
@@toofarpunk Thanks. Does the Redco pass phantom power from you preamps back to your condenser mic? And how did you set your grounding to avoid the hum and spikes?
@@homestudiohaven To run Phantom on the patchbay I would assume is VERTICALY STRAPPED how did you set it up to be able to patch your Mic Pres and USe 48 volt phantom power?
half normal could come in handy if you are doing a monitor mix or you got like an on location recording truck. Although that's not really common these days. Transformer splits are the way to go.
@@toofarpunk for studio use, there's a use case for double-tracking purposes. So for example with a half-normalled connection, if you're tracking from a preamp/DI which is half-normalled to your audio interface, you could mult that to another device like say a compressor or reverb unit. You could then patch that into your audio interface and record both simultaneously (or simply use the compressor/reverb for monitoring purposes, like if a singer just wants to hear some reverb while performing). The advantage here is even if you like the affected signal while tracking, you could always have a raw/dry backup of the take just in case you change your mind later or in case maybe the effect is too much once you go to mix. At least that's how I use half-normalling!
If you have this same patchbay, Redco offers an excel spreadsheet template which is precisely mapped to the connections, which is pretty easy to use - just type what you want, print, and use a paper cutter or xacto knife to trim the paper and slide right in. Easy peasy!
Why the fuck would I “upgrade” my keyboard? What exactly is there to upgrade? It works well and the F keys are laid out in groups of 4 which is how PT is laid out. It’s wired so I don’t have to worry about batteries; cable never gets in the way, it’s tucked into the Argosy. If there is a keyboard that will improve your recordings, show me. By the way I’m on WinXP. 🤓
@@toofarpunk Keep up the good work I love your videos, Great studio Love your setup you have such an amazing Argosy and the Qwerty keyboard just looks uninspiring, the color is very distracting it looks Cheap, clunky and Old (not classic) Specially if you will be making videos Upgrade it !!!
