For those of you out there who follow the blog, you’ve noticed that I haven’t posted in a while. First off I want to apologize for the absence, but allow me to explain briefly what’s been going on. I have recently been promoted to oversee all of the online departments for the entire company. It’s been a ton of work getting organized, and it’s not going to be easy, but it’s going to be well worth the effort. In addition to offering my help for our customers with their sales needs and product questions, I now handle all of the emails and customer service calls for our online support department. I will also be handling our eBay department as well. This includes our online eBay store and all of the auctions that we run weekly. I’m very excited about this new opportunity to have a positive effect on our business. I will work hard to provide only the highest level of customer service, support, and attention to detail for our customers. Now that we’ve got that out of the way, on to the good stuff. MORE GEAR!
The studio live is a 16 channel digital mixer. This mixer has 16 XLR inputs, 4 sub groups and is fully compatible via the fire-wire output with the majority of the DAW software that is currently on the market. One of the other really cool features of this mixer too, is that it has a host of digital effects built in. Remember a few posts ago where I was talking about how less cabling means less signal loss? This is one major advantage of having built in effects. This mixer has compression, limiting, gating, reverb, delay, and dual 31 band EQ’s. These are just a few samples of the features that you get with this mixer. To see it and all the gory details, Click Here.
Another nice feature of this mixer is that you can daisy chain, or add, an additional 8 mic pre’s by hooking up something like a Presonus Firestudio Tube to the other fire-wire input. You can also daisy chain a second Studio Live mixer so you can run a simultaneous 32 channels. This is the perfect product if you need a mixer that will double as a live or recording mixer with built in effects. I’ve got a customer of mine who lives on the west coast who is probably going to be picking one of these mixers up soon. He’s currently in the process of building a studio, and we’ve been talking a lot about a lot of different things. So starting with this post I’m going to be going over some of the other aspects of building a home recording studio to give you guys some insight on other things you might want to consider. We’ll be talking about sound-proofing, snakes and cabling, software, computers and a few other related topics. I’ll basically cover the majority of the items that myself and Dr. Franks are going to be putting to work in his newly built home recording studio. We’ve already talked about studio monitors and interfaces so we’ll skip those topics, but there will be plenty to talk about over the course of the next several posts. As always, give me a call or email if you have any questions, or if there’s anything you’d like to see me talk about here on the gear blog. 800-373-8393 X100 or email bfoley@daddys.com
Mr. Foley,
I believe may be quite enlightening for all from two separate views.
You as Product specialist but also from a consumer specialist
. Which also hope be by end of this journey.
Thanks again for all.
Regards,
Dr. Franks
