Topic: Over Under or Straight Roll

[rokpunk]

if i see any of my crew wrap a cable any way other than over/under, i make them re-wrap all the cables in the cable trunk.
nothing more annoying than making knots in your cables because some assclown wrapped them wrong the last time.

. . . when I assist with live sound, I find another job to do, preferably involving heavy lifting 

you are hired.

I have to admit that I didn't like over/under for short 15' - 20' cables when I was doing live sound.
I rolled connected mic cables on a cable reel and didn't have any problems. I never liked the figure-8 method for power cords either.

Well I just wanted to say I've been over/under rolling everything in sight over the last week since I read this thread and I feel like a freekin' pro now my self esteem is at an all time high!    I'm picturing a T-Shirt with some kinda cool loopy wire logo and it says: "Over/Under... That's How I Roll"

Yup yup a little too much coffee this morning    ..................

Peace

Not sure it's the same one, but just copied an over-under vid into TS Reference.

Thanks Brian - baustin demonstrated this technique to me at Knoxville recently as he watched me struggle with a pair of 15' vm-44 link cables...
