Cranborne Audio 500R8 Demo & Review

[@cranborneaudio]

Another amazing tune Alec! Fantastic overview as always! Thanks so much for your kind words! 🙌 Also, that's word for word the conversation we had at the pub when designing this... no joke 😂😂😂😂

[@alecbrits]

Thank you guys! :) Honestly, I can really believe that. 😂😂

[@mattbang1072]

You guys really did something here! This is the all in one box I think most producers dream of. Do you guys have any plans of making a version with USB C connection anytime soon? My only concern with purchasing this is that I won't be able to run Pro Tools with more than 1024 buffer size for a heavy mix session.

[@cranborneaudio]

Hey @@mattbang1072! Thanks for your kind words! 🙌 We have no plans to produce a version with a USB C connector. Many devices out there with C connectors still employ USB 2.0 but over a C connector - this method gives you no performance improvement over USB 2.0 on a Type B connector (like ours). A full Type C/USB 3 implementation is expensive to produce but for us, it wouldn't give any more performance improvements. USB 3.0 can transmit larger amounts of data (which is why it is much better for USB hard drives etc) but it's still at the same speed (Bit like a motorway with 2 lanes and cards travelling at 70mph (USB 2.0), vs one with 10 lanes travelling at 70mph (USB 3.0)). Regardless, it's the implementation and other factors that really impact your CPU performance more so than the connector. We have many customers who moved from thunderbolt systems to ours and were getting better, more efficient DAW sessions as our USB 2.0 solution is lightweight and designed for low latency and low CPU impact. Your milage will vary of course, but we would have no hesitation to say you would be able to run heavy Pro Tools with ease! Hope this helps! CA

[@mattbang1072]

@@cranborneaudio Ah ok. I guess I was concerned because I figured, with the amount of simultaneous ins and outs, that it seemed that it would need those "10 lanes." But good to know that other customers have had no issues moving from thunderbolt to the USB 2. Really excited about this product though!

[@cranborneaudio]

@@mattbang1072 No worries Matt! As we only transport 28/30 channels, USB 2 has more than enough bandwidth to do that comfortably! Our friends at RME can send 128 channels of audio through USB 2.0 - they are wizards of course, but there's plenty of room for 30 channels! Hope that helps! CA

you're a very talented guy! Thanks for sharing :) All you videos are inspiring. About the Cranborne, I have had one for a year and the workflow is really fun. It's forced me to plan out a mix, having only 8 tracks to work with. Forces one to make strong decision about what to include in each stem so they mix well. Absolutely love it, it's a recording beast.

[@alecbrits]

Thanks so much for the response. :) I cannot wait to get further into the different use cases for the R8!!

[@CraigHlavka]

​@@alecbrits Cool! I Thanks for sharing your insights :)

[@CraigHlavka]

@@alecbrits The workflow is so open ended and flexible, it would be great to see how you choose to use it. I'm a bit torn with it. On the one hand I love the summing. But, sometimes I think it's easier to get a mix in the DAW without using the knobs/mixer. I'm trying to figure out a way to print all the levels I set within the DAW, THEN route those stems for summing in the Cranborne. I haven't found a way yet.

[@alecbrits]

I think just having the unit set to unity is the easiest way. That way you are using automation within the DAW to push the unit as needed. :) that’s how I use my console, and how I have found recall to be dealt with easiest.

[@CraigHlavka]

@@alecbrits ah okay, that's a nice tip :) Well you have one vote for a DAW to console work flow video :) Anyway, cheers Alec!

[@alecbrits]

Thanks so much! :)

[@andrein2456]

You could use the Bison From IGS audio and insert your Mastering chain as an insert in the DAW.. just keep the volume knob on the summing mixer at - Infinity. Or take the summing output into your mastering chain and then input it on 7 and 8 line inputs and set them to analog and record them in your DAW as you would track a stereo instrument. also summing knob at - infinity ( in both cases you lose 2 summing channels) but it could work. I think..

[@alecbrits]

That should work indeed! :) loosing the two channels of summing is a bit of a loss for me as my mix session is grouped into 8 stereo stems, but it is indeed a work around.

[@Kharrari]

[@flacospace4819]

Such a great insights and lovely quality music. Wonder to know how the mix is done on Craneborne audio 500r8? is this creating any issues or are you using a mixer with it? Because it appears there is no meter level, the knobs do not look appropriate for mixing, and I can see there is no mute button on channels, which is really sad:(( . What's your thoughts about it as I'm about to decide to go all in on CB500R8 or having a mixer.

Great review! My Aphex USB 500 is similar to this box, but has only 4 slots (so lunchbox format) and no summing mixer. But it too has MIDI I/O, wordclock I/O, USB, etc. But it's not available anymore.

[@alecbrits]

Thank you so much! :) the Aphex was a good box! Glad that we now have a unit that is so solid and flexible and can be bought.

[@b-music9329]

@@alecbrits Definitely :-) I however wish that they would also do (or have done) a smaller "lunchbox-format" version. I strumbled accross the Cranborne too in my research for a 500 series lunchbox with included converters, but the Cranborne was a bit too large and expensive for my needs. As far as I'm concerned I like it small and portable (since I don't run a commercial studio, just home/project studio use) and I'm fine with four really good different preamps featuring different tone each. My four slots will be populated with the Neve 1073LB, Neve 88RLB, API 512c and SSL Six Channel, which should cover all my project studio preamp needs in a small portable package. Btw, I finally got the U-67 because of your great Neve 1073LB review :-)

[@tylerwinter512]

Yo! Amazing song!! I almost always hate the song on videos like this. Lol nice work! Decent.

[@alecbrits]

[@LarryLobo]

I have a query. In the back panel, Mix Output refers to the summed mixed right? So is it possible to route that summed mix through outboard gear and then back in the DAW, probably through DAW 2 INPUT? I want to eliminate the need to do multiple ADDA round trips for stem mastering purpose. Please suggest! On the verge of purchasing this unit and can’t find a single tutorial regarding this hack.

[@LarryLobo]

I have the EC2 & N22H for the master bus so probably we can use CAST i/o for this?

[@alecbrits]

Hey Larry, I think it’s best to get in touch with Cranborne to discuss this. :)

[@LarryLobo]

Brooo amazing setup! Thanks for the vid. Really helpful. 🙏🏽 What is that console you have?

[@alecbrits]

Thank you! :) it’s an Audient ASP4816, I have done a review for it on my channel too.

[@JewelzFin]

If the R8 modules come before the A/D stage; couldn't you just put your mastering chain in the R8 module spaces and any other mastering plugins on the DAW Master track, and then print? I'm not the most knowledgable producer. But it seems like something I would try. Would putting the master chain on channels 9 and 10 as a master insert make it sound different (if it were possible, of course)? I'm asking because I am planning on buying one and want to know if getting the 500 Series SSL Bus Compressor is worth it. Or if I should get the rack version and put the R8 master outs (9 and 10) through the SSL rack version Bus Compressor and then into a separate interface into the computer, like you said.

[@alecbrits]

Hey Julian! :) That would work if you don’t want to use the summing mixer that is built into the unit itself. The only reason why a hypothetical 9-10 channel would be great is to be able to take the summing mixer output and have it go into your analog chain, then back into the unit. If you are looking to have the ability to pop analog inserts into your projects, then using the unit without the summing mixer is totally possible. If you are looking to use the summing mixer with the appropriate stereo processing per stereo stem, then that’s possible. If you want to add ANALOG stereo buss compression/EQ to the summing mixer outputs, then you will either need to come out of the summing mixer outputs, into another set of converters. Or take the outputs of the summing mixer into a pair of channels on the unit, without 500 units in with the line input switch enabled. Hope this helps. :)

[@lieuweroonder217]

Hi alec! Awesome video one again! I have a question you might be able to help me with. I expect my 500r8 to arrive on monday! I want to use it as my monitoring (main) interface and hook up my apollo 8 from 2015 via adat. Now I was wondering how to monitor those adat channels through the 500r8 and how to control those input levels. Or do I still need the apollo software to make that work? Thank you for your help😊

[@alecbrits]

Hey Lieuwe! Sadly I’m not too sure how best to control the Apollo/500r8. I would assume you have to still use the software on the Apollos, but again, I’m not too sure.

and after all this time, SPDIF not implemented, still doesnt work (not in the firmware) and the clock dipswitches are still not implemented... maybe in another year all features might be supported! otherwise, this might be a great product. buyer beware tho...

[@alecbrits]

Thanks for the insight! :)

[@AndrewCCM]

Agree. I really could use those SPDIF ports. About to order either both the 500R8 and 500ADAT or perhaps a combination of the 500R8 and a different expander unit. I already have a 500 chassis and 3 of them is just a bit much and will tempt me to spend even more money trying to fill up the holes!

[@jovantrendmaker4722]

How could you integrate this in to 8 channel mixer? I know this is mixer in a way but what if you have quality 8 or 16 channwl mixer?

[@alecbrits]

Perhaps a normal 500 series rack is the better way for you?

[@filipeventura2729]

I have maybe a silly doubt some one hopefully can help with. Lets assume half of those slots are eq or dynamics modules, do i then loose the intrument inputs on those channels or can they be used for both line input and 500 series silmutaneously?

[@alecbrits]

As far as I’m aware, once there is a unit inside the rack will default to it being used. The little switches that allow you to select which inputs are to be used are on the inside of the rack.

[@roandenn933]

What a lovely channel!! Seeing that this does not have a stereo mix bus insert, is there a practical simple way to make that process happen if you were to purchase this system? Thank you 🙏 Regards~

[@alecbrits]

Thanks Roan! As stated in the video, if you were to have a second converter, that could work, or if you had an ADAT converter, you could take the mix outputs, then fire them through your buss processing and pop them into the conversion connected via ADAT. :)

How do you feel about the connectivity only being usb 2? That’s my biggest concern with this.

I don’t understand why they didn’t use a faster connection, especially for something that came out in last two years.

[@alecbrits]

It felt pretty good to me, specially with the fact that I can monitor from the device itself with the onboard mixer. I generally work at 96khz, so latency is less of an issue in general. That was just my experience, if you have had any interesting experiences with one of the Cranborne units, then please feel free to share. :)

@@alecbrits Interesting. I would think you would have more latency concern running at 96k as opposed to 48k. Latency is less concern as you said, there's onboard mixer.
