Warren, with long guitar cable runs you should look into a simple guitar pedal buffer. Buffers maintain the original signal strength from start to finish. Put a buffer at the start and the end, and you can run as long as you want. Seriously. It results in a pristine signal without any top end loss, and it doesn't add anything to the signal either.

At one time (probably around 2005 or 2006) I stopped buying ready-made cables as far as jack and XLR is concerned. Even the biggest brand cables (Klotz, Mogami) have failed on me. I'm a guy with I would say, very good soldering skills. I since make all cables myself using exclusively mic and multi cables by Italian manufacturer Tasker (best I've ever come across) and the amazingly reliable Neutrik connectors from Liechtenstein. I go all the way with braided shields and heat shrink tubing plus colour coded boots. Yes it takes time, but it is a life saver and very satisfying. Done with the headache of tracing culprits in my setup. Never had a failing cable since. And it eliminated hum in my studio forever. 😊

I have one AES/EBU XLR Cable and it cost me 70$ CAD for 25 feet so around 2,80$ per linear feet ( bought the cable in 2017). I have to say that the cable is made with Canare cables and it was made on demand by Digiflex here in Montreal . Used it on couple of occassions and never let me down . Good cables aren't cheap and it is for a pretty good reason , they'll last you a lifetime .

Anytime I've ever had a cable fail on me during a show, it was an inexpensive assembly: No-name offshore connectors, 24 AWG hot/cold, spiral shield, thin jacket. The cheap plugs become loose and intermittent, spiral shields un-spiral and allow RF interference, and all of them serve to ruin your show or recording. I like to buy 20 AWG wire, braided shield, and a sturdy jacket for stage use. Always Neutrik connectors (Switchcraft and Amphenol are good, too, but I prefer Neutrik). Cheap cables' cost is too high.

I have a Whirlwind guitar cable I bought in the 80s and still works wonderfully today. The connector quality is important too. If you learn to solder, you can get the raw materials and make your own, but that's time consuming. The problem switching to another Mac (current stuff) is audio developers aren't quick to get on the bandwagon. Too many still require you to enable System Extensions, when Apple has said for almost 3 years they are going away, but they still say they have the compatibility. They don't, they have a stopgap.

Cables do matter. If you're on the cheapest side I would suggest Pig Hog cables; I've toured with them for years. I've had them lost but never broken. Our techs never had to repair one. No RF interference. If you go on Amazon you can get them in bulk for about $10 per cable; on the major stores like Sweetwater, Guitar Center, American Musical Supply they cost $25-50 per cable. (You should all be looking into CAT5 cables when building a studio for the hardwired cable runs. They're cheaper and better in pretty much every way.)

Audio cable quality *is absolutely essential.* I have to agree completely! The good news is, finding good-to-great audio cables isn’t difficult at all; nor is it necessary to get the expensive ones (a very low correlation exists between cost and quality in this domain. Everyone reading this has a story about buying some superexpensive cables - nay, “interconnects”, only to be disappointed after finding them no better than some no-name cable they have).

I've been playing live for nearly 30 years and I have tried many different cables. The combination that works best for me, here in Europe, is Cordial cables (Germany) with Neutrik connectors (Lichtenstein / Germany). They're very durable under any circumstances and retain the sound quality over time. For example, my 6-metre-long guitar leads, that I use in a 4-cable-method, have been on the road for over 15 years. They've travelled around, they've been stomped on and they've even survived a flood back in 2015, having been submerged for about 12 hours (along with my Laney amp, but that's another story). I've only had to replace a connector that got broken after a heavy cabinet fell on top of it cracking the casing and breaking one of the pins. They're incredibly robust and long lasting. I've also compared them to shorter (between 1 and 3-metre-long) and more expensive cables and I couldn't tell any difference in the sound quality.

Neutrik have been my goto forever, no point in using anything else, they've been doing it for years and the strain relief is one of the best. For me personally it's about reliability, you can look into all the frequencies you want but if your cable fails then they mean nothing. Reliability first, reapairability next, even cheap cables add up if you have to keep replacing them. I didn't even need to watch the video to know what it said, there are a thousand Videos saying the same thing and as a guitarist and done a little Studio work, I already know what I need to know about Cables but that's me. --- The main thing I noticed about Cables when working with some people is, when they are learning at the start of their journey, they think all Cables are the same....And seen Guitar Cables used as Speaker Cables etc....Plus do many know how to Coil Cables and store them properly?

I’ve just upgraded my home studio to a 18i20 and an OctoPre expansion and have maintained “better” quality cables all along the way. I’m essentially setup the interface as a soundboard where I’m not connecting and unplugging things but rather leaving things in place. The signal chain is one less worry and now I can concentrate on making music! ProTools has enough going on as far as a learning curve.. set it and forget it is my new mantra. If I were to add up what I’ve spent on cables alone with Mogami, ProCo, Klotz I’m sure it’s more than I care to admit.. I’ve filled all but three inputs of the 20 available with dedicated instruments, hardware and mic’ing. I maintained quality along the way in increments and now I don’t have to second guess things at least where the cables are concerned.

I don't have a studio, nor do I do audio professionally, and to be totally honest I haven't had 1 lick of training, and just imagine, I volunteer doing the A/V stuff at my church and used to use a practically "set it and forget it" mixer there, which had 16 channel sliders plus a whack ton of knobs for gain, high, mid, low, etc, that our go-to local professional install company we contract to do all our maintenance, had set the general EQ of the high, mid, and low knobs, back when he went to our church, and he would check the gain and stuff out every once in a great while, even after he left to cofound his business he owns, when he happened to be there for some event or another, but after oh, 26 years or so we had him put a new mixer in and I'm using it now, and let's just say that while it's still Greek to me, and I'm still stuck generally only messing with gain(haven't had to yet) and the volume sliders for individual channels, the technology has really come a long way since then, and in my 10 or so years (off and on), running the A/V booth, I'm slowly starting to at the very least know how to adjust some things...(although I still don't know hardly Jack about low, mid, high, EQing and don't usually mess with that) I forget what make and model the old soundboard is,(Yamaha maybe?) but it's currently in my barn waiting for me to decide if it's worth trying to have DeOxIt get the sliders and POTs on the dead channels, as well as the board as a whole, back in perfect working order for someone else, or myself, to make use of, or if it should be just tossed out, as a lot of it's channels were literally on their way out, or perhaps someone has need of an old style mixer manufactured in around 1993-94 for the knobs and whatnot, idk(or to refurbish?). Compare the old one to the new one, and WOW, though... it's a "behringer x32 compact" and is not only SMALLER than the old one, but instead of 16 channels, it has 32,:and that's not including the aux channels, holy crap there's like 8 of those, but thank God for a digital connection to the electrical compartment under the stage where we have the remote unit set up, because, even though I never noticed it, I've heard reports of FM radio coming through on the old system, which was according to our audio engineer that helped redo the system, a common issue in our area, and the reason why they suggested the behringer x32 compact and the remote box with digital connection, to get rid of around 50ft of cable, x16 channels(and don't get me started on the rats nest I had to look at, and in the end of the old board's usable life, mess with weekly)...(well, you can understand why we were having FM radio issues now, I think) All that said I would like to thank anyone who reads this, who does this for a living, either on new stuff, or old stuff, which is sometimes the exact same thing, because some mixers have digital equivalents based on software, of some of the older hardware like the De-esser effect that I can use on the behringer x32 compact,(just need to learn how to properly use it now, myself, as I've never even seen a De-esser before) because I know how bad your day can be with hardware where you can only guess what the failure point is (I'll give you 1 guess what piece of equipment gave me my headaches before it was replaced in 2020-21 or so, and you'll probably be right (and you'll also know why it's still in the barn a year or more later waiting for me to decide to try DeOxIt-ing it))(really, it was that bad that I almost get PTSD and headaches just thinking about trying to get it working again, and I don't even technically have any speakers for using with it to test, except perhaps car speakers, if that would work?)

My experience has been that unbalanced cables do sound different but balanced cables don't. I shot out a 1/4" mogami gold guitar cable vs a cheap boss cable and the mogami had extra high end clarity that was missing in the boss. I shot out a pair of no name brand RCA cables vs Blue jeans and heard a very slight boost in the low and high end when using Blue jeans. I also listened to a short xlr cable and jumped 800' of various branded XLR together and didn't hear a difference between the short and the 800'. In general, the more you pay for XLR, the better shielding you will have and the better durability you will get is what I've noticed from the hours and hours of research I've done on cables

My experience: the higher the source impedance the more pronounced the loss of sound quality per meter of cable: guitar cables are much more critical then cables used on P48 powerded condensers with a low, buffered output impedance (eg KMS105 or M149). Transfomer coupled mics, like SM58 or U87ai are less exposed to cable-caused sound quality losses then high impedance instruments, but more exposed then modern condenser mics with buffered outputs. Passive mics with no transfomer built in, like the SM7b, will definitely benefit from a well shielded, short cable.

So far, no problems. And their price summer between Pro CO and Mogami. I find it suspicious that Whirlwind XLR cables don’t come up in the Sweetwater search results when shopping for different price options for XLR cables.

One more thing to mention: Don't use balanced cables for guitar and don't use Instrument cables for speakers. Balanced cables have so many benefits and you may be tempted to hook your guitar up with one, but you got to understand that a balanced cable needs a balanced signal. Guitars and guitar pedals do not put out balanced signals, so you gotta use unbalanced, quality cables and minimize you cable length so that you don't lose high end and volume. And like you mentioned about cables for different purposes with identical connections, don't use an instrument cable to connect your guitar amp to a speaker. Speaker cables are different. Different shielding, different impedance. I don't know what happens, but I've heard you can overheat/blow-up your amp and destroy your tubes if you use a basic instrument cable when you should be using a speaker cable.

Hi, what is the meaning of a normalized sound ??! When we record or mix, do we have to normalize the sound of the tracks at some point? And if yes, how ?

I have a small studio. With a number of synths. Half have unbalanced connections. The other half have balanced. Longest run is 7 metres. Can I use balanced cables for everything? Conscious of the amount of power cabling running alongside these cables. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys

here in the uk have gotten the van damme mic cable. which seems to be the best price / quality tradeoff and am pretty happy with it. however what i was really hoping for here is any recommendations on a decent, high quality braided instrument cable for guitar. that is hopefully still durable but nicer to hold in the hands (ie fabric), and maybe a little more lightweight than a typical rubberized mic cable sorry that all sounds like a lot to be asking for. however it needs to be 'better enough?' to justify the extra expense of getting a more premium over my existing van damme mic cable which i already have... and it is going to be handled and used / abused much more than any of my other cable. if that makes sense. but when i read recommendations of such guitar cables i am left totally overwhelmed and confused where the value really is versus the price.

I have a fender guitar cable I have been using for almost 30 years - still works never repaired - many many cables have come and gone - I agree do not buy the cheapest cables

Cables do matter. If your ears aren't damaged due to constant, high SPL bombardment, then you will certainly hear the differences, if any of you bother to do comparative tests. Those who can solder and make your own cable need to make it a point to check the directionality of each cable prior to finalising the connectors on them, especially when it comes to the balanced XLR type. If I come across a previously unknown cable brand and model, the easier thing to do is make 2 separate sets of them with the cable being terminated in 2 different directionality. That way you can make a comparison to determine the correct directionality before making a whole batch of them.

I'm curious about your cheese grater Mac Pro. I've got PT Ultimate running on a 2012 Mac Pro, and even with a brand-new OS and PT install, I can't get this computer as stable as I need it. Can you tell me what OS and PT version you're running?

Redco is cheaper as they use Mogami as their supplier to make their on ables. You get Mogami cables at a fraction of Mogami branded ones.

I had an XLR cable that seemed to work but wouldn't clip into the mic correctly. Ruined a couple of good vocal takes. Cables DO matter!

I use Mogami on everything. Great quality and great price. Probably pricier than that is nothing that marketing bs and "audiovoodoo" thing. Cable is a cable. If have a good qualities then it's more than sufficient. And definitely don't need spend thousands of dollars because even though that maybe there are cables a little bit better on paper than Mogami you must spend 2x more on them! And it's definitely not worth to pay for so unnoticeable difference.

All cables are serviceable.l, doesn’t matter if the connectors are molded. Buy extra connectors and learn how to solder. In fact, I would say if you are going to have a studio, learn how to solder!

Not about the cost but the resistance, like a hose pipe for water, the same amount of water down it as it gets longer means the water still flows but is a trikle by the time it comes out.....Shorter hose, more water out the end....Plus the most common error I've seen with cables is using guitar cables for speakers....arrrgggh!

I have a 2009 Cheesegrator Mac which 99% of our videos are done on running Pro Tools and live streaming Software and have had one crash in 8 years. However, I don’t have any cracks on there, which I know caused a lot of issues for people. I also run the most stable OS for the version of Pro Tools I have

A common radio-shack cable and a ' ' Good ' ' cable using Belden wire, Soundcraft ends . . . will not reveal any audible difference between the two. The quality of materials only insures longevity . . . (which is certainly critical in your application) . . . but exotic and expensive materials can't be heard. An example is some patch cables that have a ARROW printed on the outer housing to insure that the electrons go in the right direction . . . Woo-Woo salesmanship. There are plenty of stupid ideas . . . and more coming everyday.

I grew up with it said as an acronym, in my world amongst the producers and engineers I know we all say D A W. I’m not annoyed if someone chooses to make the acronym into a world, so I certainly don’t think it’s passé
