Yea Bapu, I know, but for the most part I think the ones that really like to get the work done, will stick around.

John, Yes, my failed message doesn't show always, but the fader 8 movement in CbB is always off a few db off on the screen. I had the problem with my fader 5 and 6 two years ago, I believe someone from the forum told me to get DeoxIT Fader F5 Fader Lubricant from Sweetwater and after taking apart the MCU and spraying the faders inside, it stopped the sticky fader movement.

Thanks Zargg, That example is for the Mackie HUI and I have the Mackie Conrol Universal. Plus, I can't see the button names he pressed.

Tim, Client and customers are no problem, I've been recording folks and groups for years. I just figured it's time to benefit from my services and space, and stop considering this journey a hobby. I shared the YouTube video to show others what to conciser when pricing out your services.

How many of you have or have had a Mackie Control Universal in their studio? would you happen to recall how to run a calibration test, or whatever it was to get all of the faders, pan pots and flashing lights to move in sequence? I am trying to test my MCU because my master fader is sitting higher than the rest of the faders on my unit and it doesn't keep the same movement as my master fader in CbB. I am trying figure out what is wrong with it. I know the QCon Pro G2 is calling my name, but not this early. LOL

Oh, I forgot to mention that I have the Waves Maserati VX1 Vocal Enhancer Plug-in. I don't use it much but it is one to consider for $29.99 at Waves.

Here is a great review of the Joe Chiccarelli Vocal Strip

The price of the plugin was $129.99 as an introductory price until May 31 arrived. Now the price is back to the original price of $159.99. if you hang on a while, you could see the price come back down again or if you have an IK Multimedia account, use saved Jam points like I did.

craigb, I did LOL

This is the Patch-bay I am using, It's a Samson S Patch Plus. I like it because the modes are on the front and I don't have to remove it or get behind the rack to change the mode.

Whosip, As I said, after using the trial version of it on several previous mixes I did in the past, I immediately purchased it from IK Multimedia using some of my Jam points and added it to my vocal chain of plugins. It is an extremely good plugin to have in the arsenal. I haven't really focused much on obtaining a bunch of vocal plugins besides the standard compressors, reverb, delay, eq's and saturation plugins, but that Joe Chiccarelli Vocal Strip is the one. Truth be told, I used the Joey Sturgis (Howard Benson Vocal Plugin) a few times and I just let it fall by the wayside because I was not really feeling it. Thanks for introducing me to Joe Chiccarelli Vocal Strip!!!

This is the Patch-bay I am using, It's a Samson S Patch Plus. I like it because the modes are on the front and I don't have to remove it or get behind the rack to change the mode. I do however have and excel spreadsheet with it's connections and layout, but I am getting tired of looking at the spreadsheet to see which connections go where. I need to label this puppy. The white spacing on the front is way too small too write the description of the equipment.

Tom, Take a look at the video from Creative Sauce YoutTube Channel. Mark gets an honorable mention in this video.

Craig, I mean, did you label it similar to the image below with cut our names, (in this case pictures). or did you use a labeling software?

Whosip, ???? I downloaded a trial of the Joe Chiccarelli Vocal Strip and fell in love with it. Oh my goodness, it sounds wonderful with the IK Sunset Sound Studio Reverb and the IK Tape machine 440. That combination after some gentle compression and subtle EQ, depending on the vocals, will be part of my my NEW Vocal Chain. Purchasing now using whatever Jam Points I am allowed to use for part of the purchase. ?

Craig, How did you label the patchbay? I am trying to get away from the cut away labels and I am thinking about purchasing Patchbay software. I found the following: PatchCAD 3 Aztec Patchbay Editor Pro

I think he helped me wire my studio patchbay.

Hello All, I work full time and usually after work I used to go to my home studio and dabble in mixing. The longer I did it, the better i became and started purchasing more equipment to go along with the studio. I would then start-recording friends and relatives for free as I have keyboard workstation, Midi Keyboards, Acoustic and Electric guitars and basses in my studio. I then wondered about charging folks as I was using my time and electricity on helping them over the years and how I could benefit. Now, I am no where near an Andrew Scheps, however, I have taken engineering classes at the University of the ARTS in Philadelphia, PA and have done an internship at Philly International Records, a few decades back, LOL (That Major Studio has been closed for several years now). ? This video helped me in determining that I needed to begin charging for my services.

Ooohhh Looks interesting. ? I was going to recommend the CLA Waves Vocal plugin. Also, I have used the Joey Sturgis (Howard Benson Vocal Plugin)

Yea, It's my Firefox browser. I can access the Magazine from Google Chrome and MS Edge. I guess it's time to clear my cache and the rest of Firefox... Thanks Larry.

Hey All, The Coaxial Cables I ordered from Amazon arrived today and the connection to the Lexicon SPDIF port and the Otca-Capture worked flawlessly. There is an option on the Octacapta that has to be turned on first. Press the Display button on the Octa-Capture. Turn the dial until DIGITAL is selected on the screen. Set DIGITAL to AUTO Done. I also set the Lexicon MX200 though the analogue patch bay so I could route it's sound out to other things. Thanks everyone for the discussion and helping me with this.?

Hello Tom, So I was routing all of my gear through a new Patch Bay and I got to the Octa-Captures 9/10 I/O port. I usually don't use it but i wanted to add it to my Patch bay if I could connect it to my Lexicon MX200 reverb unit, which has 2 coaxial ports on the back. I was just trying to find a way to use the Coaxial and SPDIF ports with my patch bay connected via analogue adapters. I tried using RCA cables, but I kept getting this pulsing sound but no audio coming through. I previously used the 3\4 analogue outs on my Octa-Capture, but they were now being used by another piece of hardware, and I didn't want the 9/10 SPDIF outs to go unused. I just ordered 2 Coaxial cables and they will work along side SPDIF for the connection.

Kurre, Thank you for finding this for me. ?
