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.

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

@@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!

@@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 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..

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.

@@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 :-)

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
@alecbrits Жыл бұрын
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. :)

Hi, i did no get right the headphone outputs. How can i work at night without disturbing my wife if when i turn up the headphone output, the monitors, going to sound too. How can i do that, to mute the monitors while i am using the headphone ?

All you have to do is hit the mute button on the unit. That mutes the speakers, not the headphones.

How do you feel about the connectivity only being usb 2? That’s my biggest concern with this. I still use an apogee duet 2 with usb 2, but finding that it doesn’t provide enough buffer size when my session gets heavy. I don’t understand why they didn’t use a faster connection, especially for something that came out in last two years.

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. More concerned with being able to set a large buffer size for a heavy mix session, but also faster connection for overdubs would be good.

@@alecbrits I think yes and no. I use Pro Tools and Ableton. They do offer different buffer size limits, but also when I have a faster connection interface, the buffer size limit changes. For instance if I have my usb interface connected, I can go up to 1024 in PT. If I have a thunderbolt connection, I can go higher.

@@mattbang280 that’s very interesting! I guess I’ve been on thunderbolt interfaces for quite some time, so it’s not really something I’ve noticed. Thanks for the feedback!

It’s really solid conversation. Hard to know how they compare to the burl or the lynx as I have not tried them. But compared to the the Apollo’s I’d say they are even.
