      Thanks @thatscottishdrummer! To be honest, we were the same prior to starting Cranborne - always loved 500 series, but thought the effort to get it integrated neatly with everything else we wanted was a bit of a pain! We all thought, "there must be an easier way!!" and here we are! 🤣

      @@bobdrums No problem! We do not support the Audio Device controls as the modules installed to 500R8 are all likely to be analogue modules and the digital controls wouldn't be able to adjust them. Also there are no preamps built-in to the 500R8 and so there would be nothing for them to control. Hope that helps!

    I am seriously considering buying this unit for recording vocals, and for using 500 series products. But something I don’t understand is - I have read several comments in other videos saying that you should not track through mic preamps ins this unit. Why is that, if that is even the case? I want to track through a Neve preamp, and then a comp, through this unit, and in to my daw. I am very new to this analog world, but I want to be able to make the best results possible coming out of the gate. SO, is it a stupid idea tracking through preamps on this unit? 🙏

    • @cranborneaudio
      @cranborneaudio  Рік тому

      Hi Thomas, we're not aware of any reason why someone wouldn't record like that, I don't think I've (personally) seen those comments. If someone is recording via any other 'standard' audio interface, the microphone is still going through a preamp. With the 500R8, it's simply the case that you're able to choose exactly which preamp you use (and compressor, EQ etc etc)....however we of course advise our Camden 500 preamp and Carnaby 500 Harmonic EQ 😜

    0:08 I have a question, about using the AMS NEVE 1073LB Pre and EQ when they are Bridge together with the Neve Jumper cable. How could you link the output of 6 into the input of 8? or could you place the Neve EQ on the left side of the neve pre? To maintain the EQ feeding the output transformer of the preamp.

    • @cranborneaudio
      @cranborneaudio  3 роки тому +1

      Hi Zip! the Link jumper does appear to bypass the input XLR choice of the Neve EQ when in use. This would mean that the source switches/chain switches would not operate for that slot when the Link jumper is connected to the EQ, however If you only ever plan to use the Preamp into the EQ and never anything else then that wont be a problem. In this case, you can bypass the slot that the EQ is inserted into using the rear Slot Bypass switch and this would enable you to use slot 7 as a line-level recording feed, and then chain through slot 7 (with the EQ installed but not used) and into slot 8 - whilst using your Neve stuff as intended! Hope this helps!

    • @zakaroonetwork777

    Can you also use the chain feature without the ADAT connection?

    • @cranborneaudio
      @cranborneaudio  Рік тому +1

      Hi, absolutely, the ADAT connection on 500R8 is purely to connect an external expansion unit (such as 500ADAT) to the 500R8. The 'Chain' switch is an analogue feature and works fully when simply using your 500R8 either as an analogue unit, or connected to your computer as your USB host.

      Hey there! You can chain mono modules without issue (so slots 1-3, slots 4-6) however the Chain will not work on Stereo modules (the logic to skip slots 4-6 and route into slot 7 for example is far too complex for a single switch) So you could chain Slots 1-3/4-6 and then use a small XLR jumper to come out of slots 3/6 into slots 7/8 for some compression. Hope that helps!

      @@cranborneaudio Thanks so much, this was my first question. Glad it was answered directly! As a follow up question... in this scenario, if we wanted to utilize the summing mixer for this example... we would need to pick either 3/6, or 7/8 to send to the summing mixer's analog outs, correct? And if we decided to send 3/6 and 7/8 both to the summing mixer, then we would be effectively doubling the signal (sans the differences created by the modules), is this correct? I'll be purchasing one of these in a few months, so just want to make sure I have the signal path mapped out in my brain so I use it correctly hahaha.

    Is it possible to chain 2 stereo (2 slot) modules, or do I need to create multiple inserts, e.g. using a stereo EQ into a Bus compressor?

    • @cranborneaudio
      @cranborneaudio  Рік тому

      The chain feature is not compatible with stereo modules on 500R8 or 500ADAT as it was really intended for mono modules and creating channel strips. However if you wanted to insert a Bus Compressor into the signal path then you would indeed need two insert cables to come out the back of the unit and into your Bus Compressor to retain the true stereo image. Hope this helps, CA
