Subject: RE: [motm] cheap mult trick

Heh. My use of Behringers (for me--your mileage may vary) is out of cheapness (they're cheap) and laziness (you select normalling via switches--no card flipping). The back jacks pretty much blow--my plugs pull out if you look at them cross-eyed. So the back of my rack is ∗usually∗ carefully arranged to avoid any stress or pressure whatsoever, but they still pull out. Many nights I've been happily tweaking my MOTM when suddenly something goes wrong--where'd the spring reverb go? Oh--it popped out the back of the patchbay. Sigh.

But I can't justify anything better or soldered until my studio is stable (i.e. not buying everything in sight).
 
David.

hello all,
 
yep, my entire attic of doom is wired with Ultrapatch, although knowing B∗∗∗er (like D∗∗∗er is refered to sometimes - PLEASE don't anyone turn this into a thread) I await the day when i have to resolder the entire lot. saying that, we have a big pile of Mosses & Mitchell bantam patch at work and although these are almost the pinnacle of patch technology, they do go badly wrong after a while
 
however, if anyone runs Corel Presentations (on PC) AND has Ultrapatch - i have a pre-formatted labelling system i can email through (for that matter, if anyone has M&M 80 way & 96 way bantams, i have that too)
 
 anyway, the weekend has just started, i've recovered from lugging my recently refurbished LS1s (ex BBC active monitors - TUBE DRIVEN circa 1961) into the attic, my Claret is suitably warm, and a pizza has just turned up...   ...cheers paul b
