Not for this. I have a snake that will run to the kit and once the cables are connected they'll stay there virtually forever.CrowsofFritz wrote: ↑Tue Dec 01, 2020 1:03 am Will you get a patchbay so that you don’t have to reach behind the interface?
That's what I've been reading, and honest to God, as I was Googling one of your older videos about the ADA8200 was the top recommendation.Tadpui wrote: ↑Tue Dec 01, 2020 1:31 am Hell yeah, that's awesome! Let us know how the UMC1820 and ADA8200 get along together.
My ADA8200 has been rock solid with my RME FireFace UCX for almost 5 years now. I never turn them off, and they're always just waiting there for me. I've got 16 inputs and 16 outputs (although mine is more of a mix of mic and line, since my interface only has 2 integrated preamps) and I really like it. That 1820 might just be the best value/dollar on the market today.
I've thought about upgrading a couple of times, but dangit the ADA is just so solid that I can't find an excuse. And the Midas-designed preamps are great as well.
The rear inputs are not a problem for the set-and-forget scenario I'm gonna have - besides it being just uglier having cables going front and back.
Well you have to tell Reaper to see it. You open a little preference window and tell Reaper which driver to use and the range of inputs and outputs to use. It's literally 3 or 4 mouse clicks.
Yeah if it's something that's gonna stay connected damn near forever then the rear inputs are no big deal. Or if ALL of them are on the back, then also no big deal. My gripe is two being on the front, the rest on the back. I think it's totally dumb.vomitHatSteve wrote: ↑Tue Dec 01, 2020 11:31 am I kind of like having a bunch of inputs in back. I've got a faux snake wired up, so I can run it to the mixing board for recording band practices.
I also have 8 XLRs on the front panel which I'm constantly switching out. Only having 2 would be pretty frustrating.
Ha, that's awesome. That video is like 2nd or 3rd all-time most viewed on my channel. I haven't gone back to watch it in a long time, I imagine it's pretty painful to watchGreg_L wrote: ↑Tue Dec 01, 2020 2:24 am That's what I've been reading, and honest to God, as I was Googling one of your older videos about the ADA8200 was the top recommendation.
I'm pretty computer illiterate, but both of these units installed and fired right up properly with no effort. They syncd together immediately and seamlessly. It was 500 bucks for both and I don't know how or where you'll get this many ins and outs for 500 bucks. And it's all really just for drums. Since I'm not drumming live anymore I can pretty much just set it all up and forget it.
Both the interface and preamp look and feel very well made. I think Behringer has upped their game. The knobs, buttons, and jacks all feel very smooth and solid.
). Anyways, I offered to move them last week since Xmas decor is going up, and she actually wanted them to stay put. So it's looking like I'm going to need a secondary recording setup as well. I just might do the same as you and get an 1820 and another ADA8200 to stash in the living room so I can record with more than the 4 channels that my MOTU M4 has available. 16 mic preamps for $500 is pretty damned tempting. Especially since the RME equivalent would cost me a few thousand.Haha your wife is awesome! Definitely take advantage of that arrangement!Tadpui wrote: ↑Tue Dec 01, 2020 12:04 pm
So my drums have been living in our front room for a few months now. I moved them up there one day just to try recording in a large room with high ceilings. My wife actually likes having them in there because they're pretty
Haha my Focusrite downstairs setup is pretty much the same. 1 and 2 on the front are empty for just whatever. 3-8 are running out the back and out into the room for various things. 3 and 4 are usually connected to cab mics. 5 goes to a DI box for line outs from amps or the attenuator. 6-8 are just dangling off stands or on the floor, usually for vocals.WhiskeyJack wrote: ↑Tue Dec 01, 2020 1:39 pm Slick set up man. that is quite the rig. I forgot you were doing the dedicated drum room thing. That should be slick as heck. Very curious to get the full Beringer review. I have heard some rumblings that they are getting better with their products which would be kind of cool i guess because i'd be curious to try some of their monitors out.
The front back thing was sort of a mind melter for me. I wasn't sure if i liked it or not at first. i wasn't fan and thought it was going to be a huge chore. But i figured i don't really do much and the 18i20 was very much a luxury i didn't really need for what i do. So now settled on just having dedicated cables numbered and organized for whatever i might need to be doing. I have two that go up into my ceiling and go to the back of the room to all my cabs and then i have three that just coil up and hang off my monitor stands for whenever i want to set up to do vocals or record some acoustic stuff. #2 on the front is a DI that when i need to i can swap between a DI box for my guitars or on the Direct out on my bass amp. I don't know why i always keep a DI safety take of everything but i do. I never use it. But it's there. and #1 pretty much never get's used because no one ever comes and jams with me.
She is definitely awesome
