I'm thinking about moving my CPU into the other room.
how long can a firewire cable be with out causing problems?

Thanks.

i am establishing a home studio setup following are the equipment setup but what is left is the right and good quality cables for connecting mics to the DAW or monitors to the DAW. what i mean by right leads is that i know that there are xlr's and mono and stereo jack cables but which one go best with my system i want to make sure so please suggest me.

I have a studio in my home as I'm sure many of you do. I don't have a problem with any cable noise, so I'm not sure why I'm asking.

But here it goes. I use HOSA cables in my "home studio". Is there a better cable that someone might recommend?

I have heard so many things: Monster, Planet Waves, Mogami, etc...

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi there

How long may be a firewire cable running through the wall and connecting my 1814 to DAW... I actually use a 3 feets cable but my computer is so noisy I just want to put it on the other side of the wall running a long firewire cable.

Thanks a lot

A contractor is just finishing up a new detached building I'll be using for a studio. It's L-Shaped. The control room (not yet built out) will be approx 10x10 and the adjacent live room will be approx 20x10.

The electricity will be on sub panel, with separate circuits for the lights and outlets. I plan to run a Pro Tools HD setup with a Control 24 interface.

I know it's important to have good cables.
I use Monster and Belden cables for all analog signal.
And I bought the Apogee digital cable to connect my Apogee Rosetta 200 to Digi 001.
Should I found any improvement?

I bought a Y cable splitter because before I would simply plugin a single guitar cable from my Behringer xenyx 802 into my pod xt live. There is a "L" and an "R" on the MAIN OUT for the xenyx 802 and I would just plug into the left channel and then record. Since I was only technically plugged into one channel I'd assume I was recording in mono.

ok so i just ordered a 12ch insert snake (12 TRS -> 24 ts) off ebay and it showed up. great start right?

well it's labeled poorly!

i can get corresponding channels because all ends are color coded.

BUT there's no differentiation between the TS ends. so how to i fix this?

I have a pair of LiveWire Advantage brand cables connecting my Dynaudio BM5A's to my MOTU 828, and it sounds just fine to me. But I was wondering, does anyone know how this brand stacks up against the "good" stuff like Mogami? Has anyone ever made comparisons with this cable against those other brands?

Does anywhere know where to get really really short power cables? I want some high quality 3 prong cables for my rack gear, but only like 6" - 1', so I dont have a bunch of extra cabling around in my rack. Thanks!
