Sound systems and Audio of any type.

[jpadgett]

 So the main thing i do with my home lab setup is audio backup of my Mix and Master library. Right now I have about 7TB of audio files of bands I have done in the last few years and also the master files of some of there albums. Some times maybe a year or to later they want to redo a older song and all i have to do is pull in the archive.  No one makes a good database to store archives of recorded music for studio work. That's something I am waiting to play with just need to get my network where i can.  I have a 16 ch digital board and a 32 ch rack mixer. Using the two together i can record live 32 ch of music with 16 monitor mix going to the stage for ear and stage mix. The really cool thing is I don't need a Snake from the board to the stage I use a special cat6 cable that carries all 32 ch of audio and 16 channels of monitor and the two main sends to the stage on that cat6 cable. Its call AVB networking and I have a special AVB router that i use to tie in other AVB equipment.  AVB is old and Cisco signed an agreement to support the AVB protocol on there switches 14 years ago but have never really done it. So if you are into music. Live or recorded sound jump in I toured for 18 years and have worked for the USO and the Stars and Stripes in Iraq in 2005 to late 2007 so I have been around any help on speakers  or just where to pick up stuff for cars or what ever give a yell.

Super cool of you to put that out there - thank you. Always good to know where the skills are. Music is the one area (as opposed to film/TV) that Ive not really attempted to split off from the cloud. I will...one day.

I love cameras and TV, I worked for my Church and helped them build a TV station. I designed the audio and because of some awards I won i got head hunted by CBS. Worked there for 2.5 years and Wife said I did not make enough money. Make a choice HA!! So went back to Control Systems for HVAC. Back then it was pneumatic (AIR) controls. 0 Pressure was full heat, 7.5 PS was Neutral 8 to 18 PSI was levels of cooling. 18 being 100%. Worked at that and its what I still do but know it's digital controls. Do work for Hospitals, Schools and I have done a lot of work for NASA.  So you every check out or hear of partsexpress.com great place to pick up raw speakers and amp really cool stuff there. I just pick up some 4" transducers that you screw to the bottom of your couch or any chair. Add an amp and a crossover for base plug into your TV and you will feel the base hit when it does just like the a game joystick does.

 Cool i was in the Pipe-fitters Union for like 16 years, retired my book. Like i said above had to go back to HVAC to keep the wife happy HA! But my first passion was always sound and then controls. I work for TraneTechnologies that was the control side of Trane Corp. I moved from Arkansas to Florida in hops because of the music scene and the need for year round cooling HA!! Give a yell anytime.
