New Summing Bus
As I've started buying and ogling outboard gear I realised that my current console-less setup makes it a bit more difficult. I haev the Peavey mixer which I really do like but I've got an input board out to repair and it's got a few other mysterious issues going on so I wouldn't trust it really... Maybe I'll pick a good input board and use it jsut for the preamps. Anyway, back on topic. I didn't want to buy a mixer and start mixing completely analog, first off the wallet wouldn't like that, second off I've got all this great automation in SONAR and and boards with automation and recall are going to be a really good chunk of change.
I started looking around and saw things like the Dangerous 2-Bus which is supposed to sound awesome but at $3k... So then I saw the Folcrom summing box which is a really cool, simple idea. I started poking around and found some schematics for a passive summing bus that works on the same idea. I did a quick 8 channel one and it worked really well so I'm rebuilding it to have all 16 channels going through.
