Soundcraft ghost 32 channel upgrade#
I'm loving it and gonna send it in for the CAL upgrade next week. I know with the profire I can synch 16 adat tracks at 44.1 so most likely will be going for that. I think ? i need 4 optical cables to go from the alesis adat to the profire and a spidf/ clock cable for the timing. I know its not that complicated but adding in the firewire m audio profire 2626 is difficult. The signal flow of all this is really blowing my mind at the moment. Your other option is something like a Yamaha pm1000 or amek or similarI ended up getting the soundcraft ghost le for 3350 but it included:Īlso got all the cabling required for it. If you are in the states ring CAL and ask what modified ghosts they have already and have a chat with them.
You also need the cabling to hook everything up. Analogue boards require maintenance or noise becomes an issue. What are you getting for that and what is everything worth second hand. Or just use the alesis and look at what you need to get that into your computer. Hook the alesis up the the profire via adat. one of those auxilaries is mix b only so you park a reverb there for foldback purposes. when you need more foldback options then take feeds from the 12 aux busses. you can feed the artist mix b while mixing on mix A allowing you to produce the song in real time. 2 band eq wit h2 sets of filters that can be split between mix a and mix b You've got 2 sets of control room monitors you can flick between, 10 aux busses, 4 stereo returns, inserts on every channel and group and with each channel being able to be split to allow 2 signals a 32 channel board is effectively able to run as 90+ something channels. using the 2 track return avoids all of that gear. if you do a mix and have a bunch of outboard strapped across each channel and buss you do not want to playback your mix going through all of this gear. the reason you use this return buss is because it bypasses the channels and groups. you could hook up your dedicated recorder to playback on return A and hook up your cd player to playback on return b. The play back of that machine gets patched in the 2 track return. from memory there is an a and b options here for more than one machine. I mix into a dsd recorder so it gets parked on the 2 track send.

like a reel 2 reel or a dsd player then you patch that in there.
if you want to mix into a standalone 2 track device. There are also master buss 2 track send and returns. there are jumpers inside the ghost that can also effect metering etc. The ghost also has switching so you can send the channel tape sends to the groups which would be used if you had an 8 track reel to reel. That gave me options to combine mics to one channel and track stereo signals. group 1-4 tape send to lynx input ch13-16.

Plus I connected the group tape sends up so I had 2 stereo busses going to the converters. So ghost channel 1-12 tape send to lynx input ch1-12 I hooked my converters up to the tape send return jacks like a reel to reel would be connected.
each channel has, insert send/return, tape send, tape return, line in, mic in and mix b in. The console is a split console so you have plenty of flexibility. for the consoles without a meter bridge, from memory, flicking the channel pfl allows you to meter the channel on the buss meters. it has a meter bridge so every channel has metering.
