It’s not. When it comes to exporting files for a mix engineer, it’s a nightmare. Most songwriters don’t want to spend time acting as an engineer, nor is it a strength they have.

I hear you. For me, as a songwriter and self taught engineer it's not that hard once you've done it a handful of times. But, I do agree they could streamline this end of the process and hopefully they will. Everything else about it is superb imo. Cheers!

Ordered the same desk in March of 23 and it took til July of 24 to ship. UPS lost one of the packages and Dangerfox has yet to replace the parts. 18 months from purchasing(paid in full) and I still don't have a functional and complete desk. I would avoid this company at all costs. I tried to believe in the company's vision and a small business, but the core values of customer service are non-existent.

Bruce, I hate that for you man. I love my desk, but I remember all too well what it was like being in waiting limbo and then all of the boxes not showing up and trying to communicate with Dangerfox. Are they responding to your communications?

I have a Roost SR50 which is a Hiwatt clone from that area, at least for my understanding. This Roost has beaten every other amp as pedal platform. I sold my JCM800 because of that. My Rockerverb 100 also flavours too much. The second best in my stock is an old Carlsbro Top100

The thing I love about this chair is that it "disappears" -- i.e. I completely forget that I'm sitting down, if that makes sense. Other chairs I've owned, I was always very conscious of the chair itself, especially whenever I need to lean or roll to the side....with this one I just move around and the chair is just "there"

I liked the desk, but not the price. So i got a circular saw and some clamps and built a knockoff. $80 for the saw, and about $200 in wood. It is a simple construction, but very thoughtful on design. I use the center bay for my console... It sits on a custom table top instead of the rack rails.

Man, for the price, I can get a custom desk from a local hi-end furniture maker using local hardwoods for just a touch more in a fraction of the time. Time is money, and it’s not refundable. Six months for a commercial, non-custom furniture product is absolutely ridiculous. They aren’t ready for prime time. Scale up their labor and then I’ll consider them.

@justinbrogdon2 ай бұрын
Hey Chris, that is going to vary based on what interface you are using. I am runnning an Apollo X16 which only has DB25 outs so I run a DB to 1/4" TRS snake from the Apollo interface to the P16 interface. From there, cat 5 from the interface to the P16 monitor mixers. Hope that helps. Cheers!
@carlosandres15313 ай бұрын
Hi Justin, thanks for your interesting tutorial. I have a recording studio now set up with an Apollo x8p, a Focustrite Scarlett Octo Pre connected to it via ADAT, and for monitors I've got several P16. In order to get the signals of both sound cards to monitors I've got a Behringer XR 18. I've connected channels 1-8 out from Apollo to channels in 1-8 from Behringer and channels 1-8 out from Octopre to channels in 9-16 from Behringer. Now during recording I'm trying to route the channels of the Apollo and Octopre via Behringer to the P16 (via a Behringer P16-D connected to Ultranet). I thought that assigning in the Apollo Console the desired Output of the affected channel (ie. Line 3 or Adat 2) It would go to the respective Behringer Input (in this case Ch 3 or Ch 10 in the example). But in it doesn't work that automatically, sometimes displaced. On the other hand the only way to hear the DAW in the P16 is assigning it to Line1 and/or Line2, otherwise the DAW doesn't sound. I know what I'm telling is quite complex, but I'm near to get crazy because I'm not able to understand the logics behind the Apollo Console software. And besides the outputs in the console channels itself, there is the I/O Matrix. How do both interact ? If you give me some clue to understand it I would be quite grateful. Thanks in advance Justine
@justinbrogdon2 ай бұрын
Hey Carlos, sorry for the delayed reply. That is a quite complex setup, nt sure if I'll be of any assistance. You should be able to assign your outputs in UAD Console using your cue outputs and flex routing using the process I explained inn the video, but I'm not sure about the OCTO or how the XR18 comes into play with the setup. Wish I could be of more help. Good luck! Cheers!

Plus I'm doing the ColorSound Power Boost into the Hiwatt thing and that pedal has so much top end even at noon.
