This is going to sound like a real dumb question, but since you do some serious studio work, I thought I would ask...do you care at all about cables? Does anyone you work with get all anal about cables and request that you use a certain kind of cable? Are you considered a rube if you show up to a session with a $15 cable you bought on sale? I've always believed that if a cable works, it's all good, but I know there are some that believe that you can't get a usable signal unless you use 24K gold cables with plugs made of red kryptonite. Where do you stand on this monstrously important issue? |

| | | | I don't care, no. I have nice George L's ones and Planet Waves ones, there all cool. But I'll use whatever and never notice much difference.

I ask this question, then you answer another question by saying you care less and less about gear every month. But that's cool...I should have known...you're all about the performance. As it should be. I used to be like that, too. Then I started coming onto TB  |

| | | | I go through phases of interest. But right now I'm so focused on my tour as well as the songwriting and recording I'm doing on the side that the tools are becoming transparent.

| | | | Not really, no. Just recording sessions from my road studio from time to time, as well as recording my song demos.

Its great to have a pro come out and say "I don't care" about cables. I can now save hundreds by not buying Monster Cables (£40 per cable is a joke!). Out of interest, what does your road studio comprise of?

| | | | Glad you feel that way about cables. Some other dudes might disagree, which is just fine. But as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't make enough of a "non-psychoacoustic" difference.
A flight trunk. Inside of it is a 6 space rack with an A/D and D/A interface for Logic & ProTools, an API 550A, a Purple Action compressor, a distressor, and an Aurora GT2Q stereo preamp. Various mics (57's, SM7's, Sputnik), headphones, cables, mic stands, and a pair of Adam A5 monitors.

JMJ | Very cool. That's a swell array of gear! I assume this is all on a MacBookPro, or do you have a tower rack-mounted in there too? 
I've been working with my portable MBP studio/programming rig lately and I have this fantasy that one day it completely replaces my home studio---how free and easy that would feel! Not quite there yet, but certainly feasible (if they would just get down to it and make a REALLY "Pro" MacBook Pro, that is |

| | | | MBPro is pretty ok with Logic, but still hangs up. I love the power of a proper Mac Pro when I get to my home studio - it doesn't compare, really.

Apparently they rob quite a lot of highs but I'm still looking for one that isn't to heavy on the bass jack so doesn't crackle or is that part of the mojo

| | | | I have some curly cables, but don't use them live. Not practical. The Core ones sound fine, don't rob high end. Otherwise, no one is really going to convince me that certain cables really sound that much better than other ones, unless they do a real A/B test for me someday.
