Studio Setup

I’m still “playing” with the setup of the new gear.
Taking pics is easier than figuring out which setup is better.
Hit Test Studio Pics

As promised some pictures of the studio setup in my new home.
Not everything is exactely where I want it to be yet, but it’s all working.
You can click on the images for larger versions.
If you’re wondering what the colored fader buttons on the mixer are all about: the red one is for the mic, the green one is for Skype, the white ones are for the PC’s (except for the last one, ’cause that one is for the reverb at the moment) and the yellow ones are for CD players. Underneath the mixer you can see the voice processor for the mic and a gate/compressor/limiter for the mixer output, so the PC that records it all doesn’t get overloaded.
Oh, and the person that’s blocking the view, is me. 
Looking at these pictures I suddenly realized that I’m really getting old!
Still The Flu + Back Ache
Posted on 15. Oct, 2007 by Jan Polet in News/Info
I’m still not over the flu.
Probably due to the coughing, I’ve hurt my back.
Since I woke up on Saturday, I haven’t been able to stand op straight. I can hardly walk and coughing hurts like hell. I can move around a bit, but very very slowly.
After taking it easy for the last couple of days, which didn’t help, I’m now goning to see the doctor. Becasue I could have a slipped disk again, later this day I’m going to see a chiropractor as well.
Hopefully they’ll be able to ease the pain and eventually cure me.
To be continued….
Audio Gear!

Due to technical problems with two peices of equipment, I’m at this moment without any compression what so ever. The sound quality of the Hit Test suffers because of that.
My gate/compressor/limiter was back for a few hours, until I found out it still wasn’t working the way it should and I sent it back again. The new voice processor also had a problem and had to be returned. Unfortunateley it’s also the pre amp for my new mic, which I now cam’t use either. So back to my trusted old mic, but without compression. If all goes well, I’ll have a new voice processor within a week. Hopefully the problem with the gate/compressor/limiter will be solved soon as well, cause I’d rather be able te record the right way sooner than later.
Flu
Posted on 03. Oct, 2007 by Jan Polet in News/Info
Since the beginning of last weekend I’ve been brought down by the flu. Fever, shivering and sweating, along with all sorts of muscle aches, a pounding head and a sore throught from coughing, are still part of every single day.
