Made it through the whole series now. I'm all up to speed and ready for all future videos. I really love this series. Thank you so much for sharing your journey! Good luck to you and all the people carrying this project!

[@idea_farm]

Thank you very much!

For once, I am grateful for the famous KZbin algorithm for recommending your channel. As a musician, I watch a lot of music and recording content, but also studio builds and other renovation projects. Your channel has it all, thank you. I am currently slowly working my was through the renovation series and am thoroughly enjoying watching the process. An easy subscription 👍

[@idea_farm]

Thanks very much, glad you’re enjoying it!

[@JAMIEPHILLIPS-g3j]

The learning Curve is ascending!

[@piggycity]

Respect your patience for the meticulous job of wiring a patchbay, well done

[@Tugboat_City]

Every week I'm more and more impressed with the care and skill going in to this studio.

"It's kind of embarrassing that i'm always so shattered every video" is truly tragicomic and got a compassionate laughter out of me😅

[@michaelszarzynski8698]

At the beginning of my career between cleaning, copy room duties, striking the studio. Running cables and termination... Watching this episode, has brought a bittersweet set of emotions. I APPLAUD YOUR ENDEAVORS BRAVO!!!

[@craigbrown7929]

Really organized, famous last words 😂

[@lessecretsduson]

I'm so happy I have dsub patchbays 😂😂😂

[@kwrigh1668]

We use PatchCAD too...if we didn't....we'd go MAD. Nice job.

[@buriedintime]

fumes bad. ventilation good. nice job. it's satisfying to see this patch bay soldering happening.

[@idea_farm]

Glad you liked it, was worried it might get a bit repetitive!

[@oinkooink]

Oh boy you wanna be on it when you're soldering a maze of cables like that!

[@darklandsaudio]

No one is surprised you're shattered 😂 you've built a fuckin huuge amazing studio. Love the videos! You're getting so close to the finish line fair play to you amazing work.

[@Chaos-Dynamics]

Great soldering job, that’s a lot of wire stripping and twisting 👍🏼 A good planning for the patchbays can definitely require some thinking ahead, I’ve changed them a couple of times already 😊

[@BlackNoteStudios]

Though soldering a patch bay can be tedious, it really pays off in the end... as long as there aren't any cold solder joints. That's a pain. lol. As you know, part of the process is to just see if all the connections are solid and you get signal flow, organization comes later. Much later. Still so much to do but you've come such a long way. Too bad the boys weren't a little older, then you could get 3x as much done. :) Well, at least in a few years time you'll have the option of an in house family band. Looking good, keep up the vision.

[@JohnSeals-b2q]

Fantastic work! You have come a long long way.

[@magnussoderman6676]

That arm is called Magic Arm and is made by Manfrotto :). I've been soldering audio cables for about 30 years and the magic arm is perfect for holding multicore. Especially if you have superclamps in both ends :)

[@makeperceive]

This is the episode for me, my patchbay soldering journey is coming up soon. Would love to see how you're incorporating DIs, HiZ inputs, splitting etc

[@idea_farm]

Ok cool I can try to remember to mention that next episode.. I have worked out what I think is a nice system for doubling the headphone lines as di lines using switchable jack sockets on the patchbay.. so they are normalled as headphone sends but if you plug a jack into the patchbsy it kills the headphone send and is now just a balanced line between control room and live room

[@OleJ-DK]

Thank you for sharing. It will be a great studio.

[@idea_farm]

Thank you!

[@weschilton]

What a pain... I'm so glad I have a couple of Flock Audio Patch units in my studio. I've always hated patchbays... a necessary evil, but so outdated.

[@JAMIEPHILLIPS-g3j]

Voice over for german TV? This reminds me about the story of when Arnold` Schwarzenegger was not aloud to dub his films into German as they said he sounded like a hill bily farmer True!

[@connerscorner7034]

half normalled is the way😎🔌🛠

[@megajonson9075]

What clicker app or feature are you using on your iPhone?

[@idea_farm]

Hi it’s called vivid counter

[@megajonson9075]

@@idea_farm Ah, thanks!

[@johanarens9798]

Noob question, don't you need to connect the shield paper to the ground as well ? (working out with shielded Cat5-6 where the shield needs to be grounded to be effective), just wondering.

[@idea_farm]

Hey, not sure if that would be possible.. the paper would just burn!

[@connerscorner7034]

definitely not. The sheild paper is already touching the wire mesh so no soldering necessary.

[@LukasHaydenOfficial]

dope! but youve got normal/half normal mixed up. Normal Cuts, halfnormal splits

[@idea_farm]

Are you sure? That’s what I said.. half normal splits :)

[@LukasHaydenOfficial]

@@idea_farm I think of patch bay wiring like digital logic gates Normal : "or" gate Half normal: "And" gate
