Corona setup at home, but no Scope

Waiting for new mixer to arrive.

@Katano - You have 2 studios ? Great stuff. @Netguy - great space & egonomics.

Nice and clean !

I´d be interested in the rack/stand for the rackmount synths.
Which brand/manufacturer and where did you buy ?
Any link available ?

Thank you !
Yes, seems to be unavailable, at least in my country.
But also Quik-Lok website doesn´t show it anymore https://www.quiklok.com/instrument-series/rack-stands/.

I have a lot of flightcase-/touring- racks,- small and very big ones, 4HU - 30HU ...
But are all much too deep, bulky or unattractive for my now small rooms.
A couple of your´s would have been nice !

Closest I can find

That’s nice to see Joel & Kitano again.
A16s still doing their job well.

Hey Jimmy, how‘s life in Vegas these days?
and yes, this a16 still hunts

cheers,

It sucks and I'm going back to Nashville where they have fish and beautiful grass/trees.
Pandemic really hit the casinos so naturally music will be minimal.
no more big paying gigs unless you are a national act.

But I'm fine because I'll set up shop and start over, not my first rodeo..

Didn't you already get a Behringer X32 at one stage ?

I also welcome my new gear (acquisition syndrome) overlords with open arms

I'm working on a deal to get a new Behringer Wing. Never got an X32...glad I didn't. The Wing still needs a few FW upgrades before I pull the trigger. A16 ADAT to the WING or I might just sell it....dunno yet.

For what do you want/use such mixer ?

For PA, go ahead and use what´s available and works.

Feature wise, I´ve found the "Wing" tempting and it looks great, but for my work as a keyboardist or in a/my home studio, it seems to be overkill (even I´d need a lot of inputs).

I have a problem w/ all these digital consoles build for live/PA usage.
There are so many mix busses/outputs I´d don´t need for my purpose,- and then, like w/ some A&H, there´s no ADAT and no BNC-WC sync at all.
And when in need of more inputs,- sometimes it´s not really expandable because the DSP inside (the core) lacks that feature.
And if it is,- buying an addititional "stage box" is almost the same than buying a 2nd mixer,- just because that is what the "stagebox" really is,- a 2nd digital mixer, being based on the same mobo, offering additional 16 input channels and same count of "returns",- but lacks the haptics.

Well, I really think, XITE-1, together w/ 2 A16U, one connected to Z-Link and the other connected to ADAT, are a great alternative,- depending on the computer´s mainbord and chipset in use.

I always wanted a digital mixer w/ total recall just only for my keys until I recognized how fast the new "hardware" is outdated and SCOPE is still in developement.
Actually, I use SCOPE 7.0 x64 w/ XITE-1 and only a single "blackface" S|C A16U successfully as a mixer, routing matrix and ASIO audio/MIDI interface on a now outdated Z97 4HU rackmount w/ Win7 x64 Pro SP1.

I really wonder why additional hardware is needed, except more inputs ...
I have another Creamware A16U to expand via ADAT.
Didn´t use/check up to now, but don´t know why that shouldn´t be usable.

There´s the phase-issue talk ...
Really, I give a shit on because it was always an isuue,- analog or digital,- and it never prevented any recording from being a hit,- period.

Sometimes I really think, it´s better being a (creative) musician than an engineer !

if that deal fell through I'd be temped to looky at this one from Allen - Heath. Specs and looks f$%# awesome for similar bucks.

This is great !
Rick Wakeman uses it for his keyboard rig.
The internal FX are very usable too,- at least for live gigging.

Here´s a tiny version w/ exactly the same Q32 "Core",- 3HU and controllable via app (laptop, smartphone, tablet computer).

When expanded w/ this digital stagebox https://www.thomann.de/gb/allen_heath_a ... ImVuIn0%3D ...

all the 32 channels are usable.
