hi guys ,
i'm not satysfied about the quality and clean of the various control room sections onboard on mixing consoles ,DAWS as pro control,control24,mackie presonus ecc.....some days ago i worked on a mastering section about a my friend new album , and the resident engineer of the studio where mastering was made using various fantastic units (as the same ....manley massenburg weiss prism pmc genelec,ecc) but as control room he use a cranesong avocet , i been able to state that much difference between a normal and a class a mastering control room unit (differnce around 20/25%) the mastering have much sound transparency and detail !! (essential in mixing section but also in tracking)
the other side of "medal" are the price , very expensive......
...then go by diy ,
any one need to ear the real sound run on his studio and
have info/helps for make a class A-AB control room unit
with "transparent" and clean out,
are wellcome in this new "race",
some spec required:
3 stereo/dual mono trs/xlr balanced -10k impedance line in
a rotary switch for select source input
a rotary switch 12/24 step for control volume out
a rotary switch for select output destination 10k line out (speskers)
3 stereo/dual mono trs/xlr balanced - 10 k impedance line out
1 mono button/switch for ear in mono
1 dim/mute button/switch for set out level in half or in mute (possible by a 3 stages on-off-on switch?)
the cherry on the cake will be :
a 2 raw 20 led meter (possible use the 20 led card by picocompressor?)
and a 1 raw 20 led meter for signal phase -/+
any other cool add on are wellcome!
helps available at now:
i have cranesong avocet "brain" pictures if someone want to have simply post a pm with email address
