As an electrician myself, I can say that all the info was 100% legit and on point (not sure about that USA vs UK magnetic field...). Clive seems to be a true professional. This building series is gold, keep up Claudio!
I used to troubleshoot noise issues with cables regularly, there are a few things to keep in mind: Segregate your cables into groups, 1. Mains cable 2. Digital signals 3. Audio cables. Keep each group at least 300mm apart. Don't loop cables in a circle, loop them in a figure 8 Cross cables at right angles If you need to run trunking of different cables close to each other, use metal trunking or add a bonded metal plate between them. Use balanced pairs wherever possible. You can make a balanced pair single ended and vice versa with a balun, they're common for microphones as they reduce hum (there's also a Beatles track where Paul used one with his bass, I forget which) If using screened cables (like your audio link between the rooms) then only ground the screen *at one end* otherwise you'll get ground loops (which you'll hear as hum). At the other end heat shrink them and tie them back, that way they're there if you ever need them but it's also obvious that they aren't connected. Same with the overall screen. Make sure if they go through a breakout box or a junction box that the screen is continuous (remains connected). You talk about buying an empty consumer unit and then show a populated one! :p Sometimes it's cheaper to buy a populated one and take out the bits you don't need, though I'd put the sockets on a RCD anyway. If you do get issues with tripping breakers due to current spikes during turn on (unlikely, but anyway), you can use class C or even class D breakers (the ones you showed were class B) which allow a higher current for a short duration before tripping. Try to balance the loads on the three phases (within reason). The electrician will know all about that though. You can never have enough sockets ;) If you want to get super nerdy you can put all of your noisy stuff on one ring main (PCs, anything with a switched mode power supply) and all of the audio gear on another. A common trick is to use different coloured faceplates to denote this. Now might be the time to consider a UPS for the PC and anything that would lose data on a power loss, you could run all the noisy stuff through that (which the UPS has the added benefit of isolating from the mains and thereforer reducing noise carry over)
THIS GUY, has some goodies worth of advice! Yes sir! I am on it! We in the USA and Puerto Rico are stuck with 125V at 15A/20A but I will say I can do what you suggest just the same. Now, we do not use ring circuits here. Would that be recommended with our higher amperage? Or stick to the radial as is common in the US and Europe? Also, here in the US we have what is known as ISOLATED EARTH and SURGE SUPPRESSOR protected circuits for equipment and for us nerdy types, the added UPS isolated power systems as well.. But the amps and half volts of UK is something I did not consider, as we just use thicker wire here that is also HARDER(copper mixed with tin).
@@pianokeyjoe the ring circuit just allows you higher current rating (32A) than a radial (16A) for the same wire size - yes there are plenty of good and bad reasons for ring vs. radial and vice versa, but I would use whatever works best within the allowances of your electrical standards - I think if I lived in North America I'd be tempted to just run 220V everywhere lol ;) Yes they just added surge suppression to the latest regs here (BS7671 18th edition) but I'll admit, I haven't read up on where it is needed. The isolated earth is presumably related to the centre tapping on the supply transformer, something that we don't have in the UK as we get 240V direct. Glad you found it useful 😊
@@gavster89 Oh how I was tempted to do just that.. 250V at 15A or 20A but here in the USA it is as you say, centre tapped transformer with 125V on either side. But then again, I was thinking of using 24VDC and 12VDC power system in my studio since MOST modern electronics runs on 12VDC on average, and 24VDC for security electronic devices. I am doing a mix. UK and US sockets for my 125V mains, and Australian sockets for the DC 12VDC/9VDC power system to power the tons of music keyboards that I own that use either of those voltages. Amperage would be what ever max I can get away with, not to exceed 10A per socket point. RCDs(GFCIs), and Surge suppressors have to be US due to the special electronics inside so sadly I can not use UK brass plated RCDs here.. at least not the UK made ones. I can use the French made LEGRAND rcd sockets and the Italian made VIMAR and BTICINO brands since those are dual voltage and those brands ARE used in the USA and Caribbean.
Hi Gavin. I bought a Behringer U-Phoria UMC 1820 interface a while ago and I get significant noise, but *only* when I plug the USB connection into my PC. I'm using unbalanced audio cables coming from a couple of modern Korg synths (a Minilogue XD and Wavestate). The output from the UMC 1820 itself goes into a smaller Behringer 802 mixer (along with my PC sounds and an Amazon Alexa thing.) Apologies in advance for asking for free help, but do you think the problem might be that the audio cables I'm using are unbalanced, or is it the way I've plugged the U-Phoria into a mixer? I know virtually nothing about this stuff. Anything you could suggest would be gratefully received.
@@tuppswahey I'm just glad people are reading the comment ;) unbalanced cables should be fine over short distances, it sounds like you have a ground loop on the USB port, some USB audio devices have a ground lift switch but I don't think your UMC 1820 does. I would try a different USB cable and do some Googling of "USB ground lift" and you'll find all sorts. You say the PC sound goes in too, perhaps try unplugging that and see if the issue goes away - the ground on the audio and the ground on the USB are probably connected in the PC. Perhaps see if you can use optical out from your PC to break that loop.
@@Raffael-Tausend @Wiz Rom Yep, it's 1:1, where 'k' in WizRom's relation is mu/2pi*r. He's likely mixing some of the power and dB relations. Still, Clive knows what he's doing and is cool. 😎
It's funny , i'm 45 and i come back to music since i stop near 20 years ago ... I have discover that in fact music miss me so much in my life .. And so i' m building a room in my new house that will be my home-studio. So for the first time of my life i will have a studio , for the first time in my home ! So in some way i' m living the same moments , i bought a house then building isolations in this old house !! I' m working since one year in this house and very soon it will be ok to play music and record again !! I' m very happy too !! So i'm happy for you Dr Mix !! ;)
I'm 58 and took a 30 years absence from my saxophone. Now into digital wind instrument. Dr Mix makes making music look so much fun. So before I was just a teen playing my saxophone to the goats that we had in the barn while growing up. Now that there is so more fun electronic synth and loop station to play with to mix with. Seeing a whole new way to have fun making music. Took me about a couple of weeks to get my scales exercise up to speed. But now with a RC 202 loop station, I make a beat track and a backtrack harmony setup and then improvisation of the digital Sax on whatever I make. I never know what I am going to do, but keep working on making loops.
Well luckily he's got good friends who can give him advice for free. I feel he's spent a lot of money on buying the studio already so he's leaning on industry professionals he knows to ensure he gets the best out of what he's got left. He's well known in the industry now and an appearance on his channel is worth a lot on its own. Almost 500k subscribers for a highly specialised channel is amazing.
7:15 I had to watch that part about 6 times to pick up what he said. Obviously all makes sense to him and rolls off the tongue so quickly. All priceless information that nobody tells you.
Clive Kavan is undoubtedly a master of his craft, this man knows what he's talking about :) Great video D.M., watching your studio emerge from it's blank canvas has been hugely exciting for me so far, I cannot imagine how taxing this process must be mentally/emotionally for you, I wish you all the best of luck for the future! I look forward to hearing the music your new studio facilitates :)
This is why I want people like Clive in my business. I am working on a couple business plans for the future. Both involve seeking out experienced, knowledgeable people such as Clive. Whether they are officially retired and want to work part time, volunteer, consult, or come and go as they please. I see them as an invaluable addition. Both business ideas have plenty of history and therefore there is plenty of practical knowledge out there.
He Doctor Mix I have not been following you for so long. But these videos are really fun to see. Have never seen someone making a studio and now we get follow the whole process and see you shine and enjoy it so much. Good stuff and can never wait to see the next update !
Claudio, your enthusiasm and joy is intoxicating! I can feel like crap, then watch you and your videos (particularly these new studio videos!) and I get cheered up by YOUR happiness! Your new studio couldn't be happening to a better guy. Can't wait for the next one!
I love that the first piece of furniture that came over was the sofa. You'll love having CAT-6 for all your communications. I try to use it for running networks, every chance I get.
This is the most useful (to me) episode of the series so far. I think I could listen to Clive talk about good studio electrical practices all day. I’m set up in Canada (where electrical standards are the same as US), and as of today I have learned that the UK/European standards are more studio-friendly. Well at least the voltage anyway. I’m not so sure 50 Hz is such a great idea.
I was looking for info online and this is the only video actually talking about the electrical side of things from the practical point of view. Thank you so much!
Hi Claudio. I’d like to add some comments: Probably you’d like to put some sort of surge protection (the peak voltages that were mentioned) for your equipment. Surges can also come from the outside of your building and the division onto different phases protects you only from surges generated by your own stuff like eg the AC. Maybe you would also consider online UPS devices that in addition to surge protection also clean the current and in case of power failure your equipment would stay on for some minutes to allow an orderly shut down. Then I would put the higher spec Ethernet cables in, as they are difficult to change afterwards. Cat 6 should be good , but maybe you should allow some extra beef for future applications. As audio cables, Ethernet cables should be run separate from power cables, to avoid interference. You could also install a switch in each room and interconnect them with fiber cables. In that manner you won’t have any interference issues. It’s a bit more expensive though. Hope this is useful
Hey Claudio, before you buy a multichannel snake between your A and B and C rooms, i’d strongly recommend thinking about running a few more CAT6 cables instead. DANTE is a very low latency, uncompressed audio transport protocol, and it’s matrix by design. You can route any single input channel to any single output channel, making it infinitely more flexible than analog cables. You can insert audio of softwares on a computer directly into the system, or you can have a 64 channel recording interface onto any laptop for about £40. It’s a very versatile solution for long years in stage productions, festivals, etc. Though, it’s not that cheap yet.. Keep up the good work! Best, Dan
Oh Doctor, My Doctor! I'm looking forward for every new episode, but this one makes me proud! Your electric and ekectronic gears will be protected by EATON (switchgears and distribution boxes from company for I'm working for). Gratings from Croatia (Hrvatska 🇭🇷). And again, GO AHEAD! As sinth fun from short legs (now I have 58) I enjoy in your evry episode...
I recently started watching your videos because I'm getting into synths. It's so nice to see you so excited about not only your extensive knowledge on synths but also see how far you've come with building your own studio. Like watching a child get exactly what they wanted for Christmas holidays 🎄
This is so much fun following out your studio build. Clive definitely taught me a few things about power through that process. I love me some Dr. Mix!!!
You should implement a Dante network and send and receive audio via Cat6 data cables, almost zero latency and less cost able to transmit hundreds of channels between rooms.
Here in Canada too noise issues 120 volts I'm running my guitars doesn't matter which one through a GT-1000 into the DAW Direct using the headphones you notice everything using Eventide plugins etc. any noise ruins the effect crispy critters LOL you have to get creative here and experiment. Took me about a week to get rid of the unbearable noise when using any kind overdrive effect. Once you get past that everything is good. You can learn a lot listening to Clive wow!
OMG so true. I can see him kneeling down in a studio moving a tape player to one side and finding the cables "Here we find 3 different species of cable in their natural habitat. While it may look untidy its actually preferable for the cables to lay over each other at right angles. The temptation is there to push them all neatly up against a wall in parallel but the resulting magnetic field could end life on this planet as we know it"
Clive Kavan! He's been round my house, oddly enough (advising his friend/client on some odd, custom ATCs I have - err, I still have, his advice was not to buy haha). Very nice guy.
Fun to watch my friend. I'm moving my studio from in my home to another building on my property. Definitely not on a level like you but we can dream. Watching in northern bc Canada.
I been looking forward to this section of the build. With so much wiring I'm convince that Dr Mix can move metals with his mind, and that's why he wears all those rings on his finger to help him play well beyond any normal humans capability. He's Magneto !
This was an absolutely fascinating episode, so much information about electrical and audio that I would have never considered. Different phases, who would have thought! Great stuff!
I was an electrician and then became a police officer for 30 years, I retired and re qualified as an electrician again (I cherry pick now 🙂). Your man Clive was bang on the money with his advice. Invaluable stuff at the stage you’re currently at 👍 It’s looking good.
When i’ve set up my small studio, all the electric path had to be redone. My mate who’s an electrician helped me to engineer everything giving the exact same advices as Clive. It was very satisfying hearing all that again. Is the new studio based in London? I’d like to pay a visit sometime. Cheers!
Thank you Claudio for sharing the construction of your studio, it is so important to see all the stages, and not to forget important things, on, soundproofing, reverberation etc. I suggest placing all the computers in another room, because they give off a lot of heat. Thanks again, and I can't wait to see the final product. LOV
Good luuuuccckkkkkkk k k k kkkkk..Claudio! What a challenge...but, what you should do just now, is: 'see' the finished product in your mind and than, one day soon, it 'will' be there and the show starts off!
I love the deep details you put into these videos! Although I'm not building a studio like you, there's lots of hints and tricks to pick up for use in my own little mancave. Especially the 90 degree for crossing...
I’m truly happy for you. It takes a lot of time and money to have what you’re building I wish you the best and can’t wait to see it done but most of all your tracks are killer love all the videos you put on your channel. I feel like I’m waiting for a new season of my favorite show. One day I’d like to put a drum track down on your synths
Suggestion - use shielded electricity cables from outlets to equipment and racks. Less headaches on unbalanced audio and electricity cables crossings and interference. Just to remind you - 80% of your synthesizers and modules have -10dBv unbalanced audio outputs. So, balance these near the source or keep cables as short as possible. If you need patchays, don't be cheap. Cheers! :-)

Relationship between current and resistive heat loss is squared. 👍

Maybe you would also consider online UPS devices that in addition to surge protection also clean the current and in case of power failure your equipment would stay on for some minutes to allow an orderly shut down.
Then I would put the higher spec Ethernet cables in, as they are difficult to change afterwards. Cat 6 should be good , but maybe you should allow some extra beef for future applications. As audio cables, Ethernet cables should be run separate from power cables, to avoid interference. You could also install a switch in each room and interconnect them with fiber cables. In that manner you won’t have any interference issues. It’s a bit more expensive though.
Hope this is useful
Wow, thanks Clive, what a great insight!
Hey Claudio, before you buy a multichannel snake between your A and B and C rooms, i’d strongly recommend thinking about running a few more CAT6 cables instead. DANTE is a very low latency, uncompressed audio transport protocol, and it’s matrix by design. You can route any single input channel to any single output channel, making it infinitely more flexible than analog cables. You can insert audio of softwares on a computer directly into the system, or you can have a 64 channel recording interface onto any laptop for about £40. It’s a very versatile solution for long years in stage productions, festivals, etc. Though, it’s not that cheap yet.. Keep up the good work! Best, Dan

Claaauudiooooo!! 🕺🏼 Thanks for share all these moments with us. We are as excited as you! Love you man!🔈🔉🔊💗💗
I love this series
Loving these videos! The thing I love most about this one is it shows how geeky I am! Clive's electrical diagram looks like a Reaktor synth lol!
Doctor Mix, the guy knows what he's talking about and is woth his drinking vouchers!
Awesome, tons of useful information. Thanks, Clive and Claudio!
My head exploded after he said cross at right angles🤯👍👍
Fun to watch my friend. I'm moving my studio from in my home to another building on my property. Definitely not on a level like you but we can dream. Watching in northern bc Canada.
Clive is such a nice guy.
Just wanted to know, how many episodes there will be? Cant wait when the studio is ready and you get to install the gear :D
too many
100500 :D
Not enough
Until it ready? :p i means this is interior construction it depends on many variables and some unexpected things can happen
...bin gespannt!
Coming along nicely, Claudio. You should be ready to move the keyboards in by the end of October.
Good to see Vangelis helping you out with your electrical cabling needs for your new studio!
I been looking forward to this section of the build. With so much wiring I'm convince that Dr Mix can move metals with his mind, and that's why he wears all those rings on his finger to help him play well beyond any normal humans capability. He's Magneto !
cant wait to see the finished thing. good work man
This was an absolutely fascinating episode, so much information about electrical and audio that I would have never considered. Different phases, who would have thought! Great stuff!
Can't wait to see the final end result = THE STUDIO!!!!!!!
Dude, you have such an amazing energy and presence. I f*cking loved your Nexus 3 meet up vlog. Definitely subbed.
Such an important and overlooked aspect of any studio!! So lucky to have that wealth of knowledge of a man there! Great video 👍
Well done Mate, I'm very happy for you
I was recommended by YT when you were talking getting the studio. It’s pretty cool to see the process 😎
Cheers 🥃
I love a nice tech catalogue.
Halfway through the video, I would have handed the job over to Mr. Kavan :-)
Awesome man! Im so happy for you and Im looking forward to see the final studio ;-)
Vicarious joy as you assemble your new studio! Thanks for sharing this. That was a huge amount of useful information!
Hey man, I'm really happy for you . . and I like Clive of course. It seems everyone does : )
Love the T-shirt.
I really like your thumbnail which features your new outboard gear ; )
How did I miss this episode...another one way over my head but oh so exciting. can't wait for the next part...
I was an electrician and then became a police officer for 30 years, I retired and re qualified as an electrician again (I cherry pick now 🙂). Your man Clive was bang on the money with his advice. Invaluable stuff at the stage you’re currently at 👍
It’s looking good.
When i’ve set up my small studio, all the electric path had to be redone. My mate who’s an electrician helped me to engineer everything giving the exact same advices as Clive. It was very satisfying hearing all that again. Is the new studio based in London? I’d like to pay a visit sometime. Cheers!
Are you hiring btw? :) Probably not with the current situation, but anytime in the future?
love this series... enjoy everything of it!
cat7 is for shielded 10gig connections in datacenters etc, cat6 is plenty fine for you, and you can still do 10 gig connections on it.
It is great when someone knows exactly what they are talking about. Will be a nice set-up now
So much knowledge in this episode~
Thank you Claudio for sharing the construction of your studio, it is so important to see all the stages, and not to forget important things, on, soundproofing, reverberation etc. I suggest placing all the computers in another room, because they give off a lot of heat. Thanks again, and I can't wait to see the final product. LOV
Yeah JP!
Good luuuuccckkkkkkk k k k kkkkk..Claudio! What a challenge...but, what you should do just now, is: 'see' the finished product in your mind and than, one day soon, it 'will' be there and the show starts off!
Loving these videos, seeing the whole process and the decisions to be made. Thanks for sharing it Claudio!
I love the deep details you put into these videos!
Although I'm not building a studio like you, there's lots of hints and tricks to pick up for use in my own little mancave. Especially the 90 degree for crossing...
I'm stoked for you, Dr. Mix.
really happy for you man
This is no overkill, this is headshot kill!
Great, so much info.
FINISH IT BABY
I’m truly happy for you. It takes a lot of time and money to have what you’re building I wish you the best and can’t wait to see it done but most of all your tracks are killer love all the videos you put on your channel. I feel like I’m waiting for a new season of my favorite show. One day I’d like to put a drum track down on your synths
With sockets you can never have enough. Put in double of what you need and have cat6 (or cat7 😉) connections everywhere.
You just opened the door to refurbishing my electric / audio wiring setup. Thanks doc :)
Really interesting to get to hear about all of these things from all these professionals!
The man just saved you so many headaches! Just give him A LOT and good things to drink!
Absolutely mind-blowing
It's like Birthday, Christmas and Happy Easter all together to watch how your dream grows. I really like your channel. Best wishes from Düsseldorf.
Coming along nicely, can't wait to see the end product
Very good luck...always..
Your studios looking good,.cool. Coming on nicely best wishes.
Even though I’m doing something on a smaller scale, I’m learning so much from this !
This is great stuff! I enjoyed learning a lot from these episodes. Appreciate the Videos @DoctorMix
AWESOME!
Suggestion - use shielded electricity cables from outlets to equipment and racks. Less headaches on unbalanced audio and electricity cables crossings and interference. Just to remind you - 80% of your synthesizers and modules have -10dBv unbalanced audio outputs. So, balance these near the source or keep cables as short as possible. If you need patchays, don't be cheap. Cheers! :-)
Getting some of the energy spill fron dr. M.
This is very exciting, thanks for documenting the process. Looking forward to the finished results.
