I havent really had a particular problem with this, but I was told you arent supposed to run speaker, mic or instrument cables next to power cables and extension cords to avoid hiss. How true is this? Any more input on this simple subject?

I currently run a label and a studio and we've decided to put together a series of tutorials for people that are interested in working in a studio environment or people that are just wanting to make their own music. We have just posted our first tutorial video on How to properly wrap an audio cable.

I'm looking for cables (8) to connect from the "insert" on my live mixer to a PreSonus firestudio project, for recording live performances. I know there are a ton of cables, so if you could post a link that'd be great, and I can go from there. Thanks!

I would like to use my line 6 pod 2.0 to record electric guitar directly to my mac.

what kind of cables do I need? I mean I have an instrument cable (guitar to POD), but do I need a signal or instrument cable to go from POD 2.0 output to my Macbook line level input?

Thank you!

Has anyone used Dominator cable? My local pro audio shop recommends it and says it's a cross between Canare and Mogami.

Unless I'm completely stupid, which is a distinct possibility, I didn't see a forum specifically for this sort of thing, so I'm sticking it here.

I've got a few vintage dynamic microphones that require a special four prong connection at the mic. I've got one such working cable. This cable boils down to an unbalanced quarter inch plug.

Hi there!

Is there any merit to dropping a ton of dough on a power cable, or would any of these cheap ones do.

Thanks!

I am tracking a few songs for the church I work at and to save costs, we are doing all the recording in house. We have a worship center that has a custom-install snake through conduit in the wall with several parallel termination points.
