Things are going well at the moment. We finished the patch bay and will soon start with the new studio wiring. Still need some EDACs and Jim seems busy. The problem with the monitor outs solved itsself (like a lot of problems lately). This time playing around with the monitor cuts suddenly made the outputs come alive one after another. I think all those logic circuits and relays just need some juice again. And I will at some point replace capacitors on the logic boards. But for now all switches and logic dependend functions just work.
We also fired up the Atomic plasma brick and the plasma mainboard. We've got at least one working plasma meter
But I have to check the grounds one more time as I get a weird noise on all audio paths once the plasma mainboard gets power. Luckily I found a grouding scheme in the docs. BTW: What is the "common" way to set levels with plasmas? I can switch them from group to tape but there doesn't seem any way to monitor the inputs. Maybe I should RTFM.
Lastly we fired up the computer. We don't really plan to use it but who knows. Might be fun to use it with our two MCIs 2".
So while we will start to get the studio ready for the SSL I will start to check the audio paths. I got my oscilloscope and a true RMS multimeter ready. Any hint on a good free or shareware software spectrum analyzer/measurement software?
That's all for today.
