Comment on JL Cooper CS-32 Minidesk and Mackie Control: a small howto by Mo

Hi Mark,

YOU ARE THE MAN!!!

I purchased the CS-32 about 7 years ago thinking it would be a great control option for ProTools. That proved to be so problematic that I shelved the CS-32, figuring there would be another use for it down the road. Well, it has been a LONG road as I’ve tried to integrate it into countless applications and work-flows.

F-FWD to today, I’ve been getting into Isadora, thought the CS-32 would be a great controller for that but after 5 days of trying to get it to work, I all but gave up. That is UNTIL I found your website, downloaded drivers that for some reason I was not able to get to work from any other source. Now I have 32 faders, 6 CC’s, transport controls, and ~ 100 on/off switches to control REALLY insane multi-media setups.

People like you democratize the web and make it a real asset to our complex modern life (as opposed to just another advertisement delivery system).

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

Thanks!
I got those switches from the guy who sold the PCB… but I think you can order them at mouser.com in the US… reichelt.de has pretty similar ones as well, just slightly different dimensions.

The world needs more people who make excellent things like this. Where did you find those wonderful colored switches on the bottom row?

hard to tell from that point of view… it might have something to do with these several transport wheels, there are various inside for play / rec / ffwd / rewind… have you cleaned it all up already? might be just something tiny..

you should maybe contact someone in the tapemaschine-forum: http://forum.studerundrevox.de/ there is also a telefunken-section, and if you ask kindly they also try to help in english, even though its a german forum;
and there’s always the chief technican (also on the forum): http://www.es-studiotechnik.de/ Erich Schleicher. he knows all about these maschines…

I also have a Telefunken M15. This one winds and rewinds tapes but won’t play them when hitting the playbutton. Of course the local /remote setting is in the local position.
Can you give me a clue?

Comment on DIY-Project: The G-SSL Stereo Mix Compressor, part 1 by Mark

Mark — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 08:39:17 +0000

Hi Moshtaba,

danke für dein feedback. der SSL ist fürs mastering zwar okay, aber nciht meine erste wahl, da er schon recht schnell auch “färbt” und “zerrt”… ich mag ihn auf der summe, aber für neutrales mastering würde ich was anderes nehmen… zb den pico II compressor, der ist nur leider nicht mehr open source. der SSL ist nicht teuer, wenn man man vom gehäuse und den möglichkeiten absieht.
hoffe dir geholfen zu haben – freu mich auf feedback wenn du einen gebaut hast!
