LightSnake STUSBG10 LightSnake USB Instrument cable or Behringer Guitar-to-USB Interface UCG102.
Not sure which to get for basic home recording.
Any advice?

You know the ones you connect the head of an amp to the cab? I'm in the market for a new pair. I thought they were different, but the guy I bought it from said they were interchangeable. However, I remember talking to some guys at GC that sang a different tune. Then again. salesman.

I was trying to connect these two units together, M-audio being a main interface connected to PC through firewire. I connected MOTU 8-pre out into M-audio IN with optical cable. Pro Tools were running and froze right away. So I restarted computer, and can't seem to find any sign of MOTU connected on the PC. Pro Tools say that paths for inputs 5 - 32 are not found.

Can anyone advise whether I should be using TS (unbalanced?) or TRS (balanced?) cables from an RNP to a Delta 44 (or whether it matters)?

Thanks kindly.

Hi there

I've come by one of the old dbx 160x units. However, it gives an unacceptable buzz when I crank the output gain above 0. It loses the buzz when I bypass the unit or turn it back down. Could this be a grounding issue?

Other important stuff is:

Who are some of the best companies to order cables from? Possibly a good company that we can support.

I recently became the proud owner of an enclosed server case along with some empty rack-mountable computer cases. So, I'm going to transfer the guts of my computer over to the one of the rack cases and mount that puppy into the server case.

I need a few new cables (XLR - XLR and XLR - TRS) and was thinking about making my own. I have been reading past posts and many people recommend makes of cable such as Mogami and Canare but I live in the UK and cannot find anywhere to buy them from. I am thinking about buying Klotz or Sommer cables with Neutrik connectors and have a few questions...

I had some pops and clicks last night that I traced to the optical cable in my ADAT connection. Anyone have any insight into good quality cable brands for optical?

I am using an SM57 to record my guitar cabinet. At random times during a recording the volume level will drop signifigantly (like -10 dB) and randomly return to its normal level. It generally does not stay between the two extremes. Also the line can get a little noisy when this happens (not a lot like a loud hum, but noticable enough where it is annoying).
