I built a couple of 184 18" coupled cavity subs. Driving them with a Behringer Inuke 6000 DSP. Used them in anger last weekend, hall around 200 people. Holey shake your teeth out batman. These things work great way to much for a venue of this size but that's what the volume nob is for (and i wasent referring to the engineer). Really tight bass and if someone puts their beer on the sub you can shake it off . Only the bass, drums and synth get to go thru the sub keeping it simple and clean. I was a little sceptical about using a inuke but so far (4 weeks) it has worked as advertised. The DSP works is easy to setup and plenty of horse power. Got the plans from Rog Mogale and they are a ripper. DIY total cost for 2 $960 bucks.

I've been working on a number of things tonight, and i have to say yosemite seems to be really good, it's much faster than the mountain lion 10.7.5 i've had in here, i'm pretty happy so far, i want to give it a good run in PT10 and see if it's more stable, i've experience quite a few "suddenly quits" for a while now, it would be tremendous if that was a thing of the past. PT11 is worth the upgrade. I was still getting dropouts in 10. 11 has been faultless and so much more efficient. Avid may have got something right (i know shocking)... Yosemite PT11 i am a fan.

Working awsome here I almost thru Protools in the bin for cubase8 but like a junkie I went back for 1 more hit (I just like the workflow). Very happy looks and feels like Protools but its stable (I know I am shocked to). Lost a few plugins but all the important ones work Stable, fast, smooth, Valhalla beta's work great no issues at all. Just waiting on slate, 480lx and I will be a very happy camper.. Revisited my 2Caudio reverbs They are seriously good when up-sampled as PT11 and yosemite are so much more efficient I can run aether x4 over sampling no problem at all. Sweeeeet.

it requires updating my OSX from 10.7.5 to yosemite! i'm not ready to trust that yet, has anyone done the upgrade yet? Bummer, I'm not ready for that leap either. Running PT 10 here on Mountain Lion Updated last week yosemite PT11 has been faultless )except for losing a heap of plug-ins Way more stable. No regrets.. B.T.W PT 10 works fine in yosemite.

I normally Side chain the kick drum to the bass but last night I swept a surgical eq across my bass track and the kick jumped out. Does anyone else do this? Any other tricks to try? There is not alot of bass left after it is rolled off at 500hz and a eq 15db reduction spike around 100hz. Still sounds good as part of the mix. I think but if there is a better way....

No you would be better of with a new mac air. SSD's as mentioned earlier are the biggest game changer for laptops. 4 year old laptop no thanks..

B has issues a and c both sound fine I cannot split them. Its not just about the cable I suspect the connectors/joints maybe the issue with B. I make all my own leads up because of the number of dry/bad joints you get with commercial premade ones.

Hi Martin. You really need to do a blind test. I a sure the first time you upgraded your cables you received a gain in quality, but that could have been a number of things. Dry solder joint in the connectors, rust, poor contacts, damaged cable etc. Confirmation bias in audio occurs all the time I couldent count the number of times I have changed an eq/compressor thinking it made a difference only to find out it was bypassed. If you pass a blind test with different cables I would eat my hat.. Earlier in this thread I posted a link where Audiophiles couldn’t tell the difference between an expensive cable and a coat hanger in a blind test. There are better places to spend your money.

Some of us here are happy to pay now. I know you don't want to do this but it would help your cash flow and give you a confirmed market for the first batch. The initial buyers would be well aware this is a new product and could take a while. I for one would be happy to wait as long as it takes and consider it more of a speculative investment. If it failed for whatever reason so be it...
Start up's are tricky things. You have people here who want to help.

The charts should be based on how much money a song generates. If you stream on spotify and have 100 million downloads that is worth about 25cents approx Sell one CD $14 dollars. Even tho this example is stupid if you are giving away your music (spotify is effectively giving away your music) why should that be counted. If your song sell's to an add agency for 10million that should put you to the top. Dollars for a tune is what count's. The tune's that make the most money should be top of the charts.. In the movie business they carry on about which movie made the most money music should be the same..

No disagreement on your design. Just make sure you have enough fat/profit on each item. $375 is very cheap there is nothing I can find that comes close.. I can see a big market for a transparent convertor to go behind Slates virtual microphone they are no longer doing the DA just the preamp. Alot of home studios do not have the ability to isolate their pres from their convertors your AD would be the perfect solution (probably doesn’t have to be rackmounted).
What ever you choose to do I will buy one..

Don't sell these to cheap. $375 for a high end rackmount AD is very very cheap. Make sure there is enough in it so you can be relaxed about the odd returned/faulty one. Do not under sell yourself. I don't care what it looks like... As long as the board is yellow

In regards to names. At first I was thinking something like a play on the f22 raptor. . A stealth nearly invisible plane that gets the job done while going unnoticed. But I'm thinking more along the lines of something to do with purity. Purity from an audio standpoint as what you hear is what you get or what you put in is what you get out. If you don't like rap you could get the poptor or the jazztor Or if you have nit's the indietor

Right now it's more like 75-100$. Just not sure that's worth an extra 3db of ENOB.. I am sure I would not be able to tell the difference. Will not cost you a sale with me regardless of what you choose to do. Re Power supply I don't think splitting (2 separate 5v supply’s) it will make any difference. I am an electronics’s tech and have never seen such a thing.

The connectors are where the any problems are going to be re impedance. 1 extra strand of copper will reduce a cables impedance bellow a solid silver cable (given the same amount of material). If you wanted the best you would soldier the cable's direct to the boards and bypass the connectors. double blind tests are required to test cables... (and the coat hanger will come out the same )
