Ahhhk soldering

Post by Reeltarded »

Adding rows of TTs to the bay. If I don't do it often I don't do it fast..

Grrr my eyes are too big.

I'm guessing you have a sizable analog desk. What, no ProTools for Miles? :-)

No analog anymore. ITB all done in Digital Performer. My left hand has tolerance up to 500°f today though...

Man, that's a lot of plugs to solder!

I like to solder but that's a bit much for me to enjoy!

Is that a newer PowerMac? If so, I'm surprised you have it int an iso box as I've heard they run really quiet.

Back in college (mid 70's), I learned on a Neve desk and an MCI 24-track with Dolby type A noise reduction, and huge Tannoy monitors. Those were good times....

Good news is that my record stands at around 1500 patch points (x3 points each end) without a failure. Yay!

I have been all ITB since umm this makes 10 years. I don't miss archival tapes since I do miss affording assistants. We talk about installing a console, then argue about which one. So far I win. None is better than the other option. Cheap too!

The thing I miss about analog is mixing scenes on the fly. I like to print the high points then punch in the dramatic stuff. Full automation takes the life and art out of it. This business is just about done anyhow. I dunno how I made it the last 5 years, honestly.

Sorry! I did it once after that punch down is the only way to go!
Make sure you meter your grounds for resistance.

Everything is tailed out to a system drain too. I put a 100k resistor at the end of the line and measure every point to there before walking away. ;) my multitester thinks I am a freak.

Punch down is nice, but when you have a million POT TT jacks you melt metal for funz! hah

I think I have fumitus though.. -wheeze-

You sure have been busy.
