Fucking sweet. You literally could not have a better signal setup and unless you need different lengths, you'll never have to buy new cables again. I must admit, I'm kinda jeolous; I used to work for them and my setup isn't 100% pure Van Damme.

All terminated with neutrik black gold, custom labelled and resin coated soldering.
Was still an arm and leg, but it's the icing on the cake.

Ah a Roland 106...my very first synth ever. I loved that board

Nice collection all together

Very sexy collection you have there brother.

Small update, pics will follow

Installed the vandamme snakes, ordered an AES/EBU as well abd the remaning babtam tt cables. So everything in the mastering and recording chain is now vsndamme

Purchased 2 new DBX160a's fir kick & snare duties
Installed the tascam DA3000 DSD Recorder
And installed the APHEX Project Channel
Installed Cubase 7.5 and created a template for the news setup, syncing to the Cirklon via the Innnerclock
I'm done now, the studio is finished
New album appearing on beatport and all major stores next week, Spotify the week after.

Nice! You don't see many of the Tiny Terror's - they are fucking great, especially for the money.

How do you like the Genz Benz? I've always been interested in hearing one.

Why type of dancing? Hardstyle, Latin or Jazz? (Please say fusion of all three).

ok, here we go:

all new:
SPL M/S Master
TASCAM DA-3000
2x DBX 160a
Aphex Project Channel
VanDamme bantam tt patchcables
VanDamme Blue snakes

awesome cables. totaly not worth it though, especially in the production setup as you can modify the sound as you like to "fix" whatever shit your cables make. only the monitoring chain needs good cables

I'm not going there, you can google my speaker cable if you like: Audioquest K2...

Cables won't make a difference?

That's what some think, I beg to differ.

I beg to differ in the strongest possible terms.

That is a fucking sweet setup Raphie - seeing the blue studio grade totally takes me back a few years. If you get a chance, unscrew say one of the connectors and look at the craftsmanship on solder. It really is a thing to behold.

What most people don't realize is that when you're using class-a equipment and have very serious outboard all patched up, small factors become a big deal, cables one of those. I tried a 15 foot run balanced no name cable just to patch to my living room hifi and the difference between that and my Van Damme was instantly noticeable (and my hifi isn't even anything special).

Sure, there's no point buying good cables when you've got a consumer soundcard, entry level monitors and are making dubstep, but when all other things are equal, you have to be a dumbass not to invest.

Even for my DJ setup - I've got the best decks, the best needles and I'm using one of the best DJ mixers ever made, going to fairly decent monitors. Even that warrants spending on good cables.

as i tried to point out is that cables is important in the monitoring chain, but not the instrument and efex chains as these are modified to your liking anyway.

You ca't modify what you can't hear

yes thats exactly what we do in the production state. does your instrument lack a little treble? add some eq. thats my point entirely. the creative part does not need fancy gear, only high creativity and great monitoring. the listener on the other hand needs exceptional gear to be able to recreate what the artist had in mind. i know cables are important but not in all chains. you could have bought another synth instead and this tells me you really dont know what youre doing - almost on the level of jaun paulino. unless you, infact only work with post production. then i get it....

Ok i'll bite:

My instrument cables are all AVID Digidesign Digisnakes, they are pretty much best price performance in db25 multicore cabling, not the best, but no HOSA either.

I can hear the difference between those and my Vandammes, which I use on my mastering chain, my summing signal path and my patchpanel (setting up tne chain)

IMHO, choosing instruments, or choosing sound transport are 2 different discussion. One is around sound design, the other is about accuracy. I hope you understand the difference?

Now, if you do, you can then argue if one is better of with investing more in signal path, or more sources? I cannot answer that question for you, but for me it was signal path in this stage. I don't really need more sources.

Then there is yet another dimension, which is funds and how much you want to spend on a studio. For my purpose I know have a very versatile and balanced setup. I can work both ITB or OTB or hybrid. a pristine signal path is crucial for my setup.

anyway, i have a bunch of redundant hosa, digisnakes and planet waves now on sale. If I would not be hearing a difference, I would not have replaced those.

As I became older, I started to put personal pride before 'more'.

I bet that filters through to creativity on some level.

And for me, the little extras do make a difference and they do matter.

Originally posted by clay anyway back to thread. heres where i control check my mixdowns and listen to music when my GF is sick of me:

Quite boomy i think? spare bedroom near empty converted to "listening room" but at least you got some kind of man cave. Now before debating cables, I would look into acoustics in that room if you want to improve accuracy.

Everybody has been critiquing how good my mix downs are. I don't see you posting anything quiet close to credible. By the way Your speakers are way to close to the wall and in corner wtf/

I think Raphie explained himself but this doesn't make sense.

Yes, the listener would need a great setup to hear the exact same thing as the producer but we produce to the highest standard we can, just in case.

In chains, you're only as strong as your weakest link and ultimately, that chain has to be monitored, so if you can't hear every little detail or hear more noise than your should, then you can't make accurate decisions on what you're hearing. If anything the more things in a chain, the more critical it becomes as the paths essentially get longer and there's more chance of noise to creep in.

I don't have a fully balanced power setup in my house and the difference having star quad Van Damme cables made was day and night.
