I did have the joy of chasing down certain interference hums/noises, which mostly turned out to be either old piece of something that had to be ditched, or more importantly, making sure I have TRS balanced cables for most of the audio routes. The clean up, and a move to an all Mac set up (1 Mac Pro, 1 Mac Mini, 1 MBP) from ditching all my noisy windows machines, has created a gorgeous sounding room :-)</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1543980758844_61329" dir="ltr"><span><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1543980758844_61329" dir="ltr">But I would try to separate out the power for the studio circuit, and have a electrical professional wire it up for you :-)</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1543980758844_61329" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1543980758844_61329" dir="ltr"><span><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1543980758844_61329" dir="ltr"><span>Have fun.</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1543980758844_61329" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1543980758844_61329" dir="ltr">Mohsen</div><div class="qtdSeparateBR" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1543980758844_61327"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1543980758844_61283" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1543980758844_61282"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1543980758844_61281"> <div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1543980758844_61326"> <font size="2" face="Arial"> <hr size="1"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> Joost Schuttelaar <joost@joostschuttelaar.nl><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> Music-bar <music-bar@lists.music-bar.org> <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Friday, November 30, 2018 11:26 AM<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> Studio power connections<br> </font> </div> <div class="y_msg_container" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1543980758844_61280"><br><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1543980758844_61284">Alright -bar!
