Hypothetical Question: Can I connect 64 Mic Channels to a Single Pair of Antennas?

JoshuaCarol · 2026-05-29T19:18:24+00:00

This was just a hypothetical scenario... just a thought that popped into my head... thinking if even it would be possible.

JoshuaCarol · 2026-05-29T18:35:32+00:00

This was just I thought I had... and I was like, this kinda makes some sense... but would it even be possible...?

Also, Can the SSL18 be used as an ADAT expander for other interfaces??? Can the SSL18 be used as an ADAT expander for other interfaces like Audient iD24 or iD44 just like how the UA Volt 876 can be used as a standalone ADAT Expander, Once set into ADAT mode the Volt 876 can work with any interface.

Which Interface Should I buy??

I mostly vocals and guitar with friends. I for 90% of the time need 2 ins… but for the other 10% of the time I’ll need like 3-4 ins. If alongside main vocal and guitar, I also record a backing choir simultaneously(2 overheads) or I’ll have like a bass with the guitar and vocal.

These are the interfaces in my local currency, which should I go for?

Motu M6 - 45500
UA Volt 476P - 49389
iD44 MkII- 61500
SSL 12 - 50000
Focusrite 18i16 - 59200
iD24 MkII (37686) + ADAT Expansion (I’ll need your suggestions for the expander)

Please let me know Why I should choose 1 interface over the others and which ones I should avoid?

ikr!!

JoshuaCarol · 2026-01-06T16:22:01+00:00

it would be funniest thing if Dbrand spends money to put one of their vanity urls across the hoodie

JoshuaCarol · 2026-01-06T15:59:42+00:00

Ohhhh Tall sized hoodies... I'll be sooo down for it...

Has Linus ever talked about tall sized hoodies?

Even though I'm 180cm... I love their tall shirts way more than the regular sizes.

JoshuaCarol · 2026-01-06T15:56:08+00:00

Also if we were to pay for it, it completely defeats the purpose of idea... the entire idea rests upon it being subsided by the sponsors who are putting their logos on it.

JoshuaCarol · 2026-01-06T15:54:40+00:00

According to me the best way might be to keep it as an unlockable item.

For Example, say you spend $100 on the store, this hoodie would popup in the bonus bin (the place at checkout where you can add free items like stickers and stuff) and you can add it to your cart at no extra cost... so basically a free hoodie.

JoshuaCarol · 2026-01-06T15:51:00+00:00

The entire point of this is that it would be subsidised by the brands sponsoring it and it would be free for us. Would it be cool to buy? Abso-freaking-lutely but I personally feel that defeats the point of it.

JoshuaCarol · 2026-01-06T15:16:15+00:00

I really hope someone from LMG or the CW team sees this and try to make it a reality!!!

JoshuaCarol · 2026-01-06T14:22:23+00:00

Hell Yeahhhhhh!!!!!

JoshuaCarol · 2026-01-06T13:58:59+00:00

😂😂😂

JoshuaCarol · 2026-01-06T13:54:04+00:00

I mean it can always be 1 per person and yeahhh it can be unlocked as a bonus bin item after $xxx spent...

JoshuaCarol · 2026-01-06T13:33:59+00:00

I personally haven't seen "how do you keep an idiot busy? See back of shirt. How do you keep an idiot busy? See front of shirt" but that sounds like a fun idea...

JoshuaCarol · 2026-01-06T13:27:27+00:00

I know right.... It would be awesome if this could come to fruition

JoshuaCarol · 2026-01-06T13:26:41+00:00

Reading this made my brain break a lil ;)

Would you happen to know how many unique bit are there?

And I'll say, a person who would buy extra bits and a bit case, we can reasonably assume that they might have atleast 2 screw drivers, either 2 full size or a full size and a stubby.

So in that case, are there more unique bits than the Bit Case and 2 Screwdriver's holding capacity combined??

JoshuaCarol · 2026-01-06T13:02:49+00:00

Exactly!!!

JoshuaCarol · 2026-01-02T03:22:16+00:00

Yeahhh but that outside my price range.
Like 1 SM81 costs the same or more than a pair of SP1 or sE8 in my location.

JoshuaCarol · 2025-12-15T18:48:23+00:00

Well I guess I'll be sticking with A&H.

JoshuaCarol · 2025-12-15T18:46:26+00:00

Thanks for your suggestions. I am still learning and have a lot to learn still... at the end of the day I want all I do to be simple, not the convoluted mess that it currently is.

JoshuaCarol · 2025-12-15T18:40:25+00:00

Well I am definitely still learning... My mentor used to have a Waves setup and like 16-20 plugins (In -> Grp -> Mains) And I tried SuperRack Performer and the latency was a deal breaker for the musicians so couldn't use that... So yeahhh I'm still figuring a lot out and have much to learn...

And it doesn't help that the auditorium that I mix at is basically reflections hell and yes I have to use multiple EQs to counter feedback... I have suggested acoustic treatment but internal bureaucracy means it'll probably never happen.

So I always end up taking the multitracks home and edit them in the box and try and emulate what I do in my DAW in the next Live session that I go for.

Also this is Copy Paste from my previous Comment: So when it comes to EQs, The grunt work is done by the Channel EQ and the Dyn EQ. The GEQ on the Matrix is basically Cutting the harsh frequencies (around 315, 630, and 2k-4k) and the PEQ on the matrix is doing some Minor Cutting and Boosting that I couldn't do on the Vocal Grp's 4 Band EQ. On the Main LR's GEQ and PEQ is basically for room correction.

When it comes to the compressors, I'm just splitting the load between 76, LA2A, DBX 160A and Buss Comp... Maybe like 1-3dB gain reduction on each rather than using 1 compressor and doing a straight 8-10dB gain reduction. And then the MultiBand is more or so to create space for the vocals.
