Topic: Lineage Question for source info

[herrmann2burn]

Hey guys,
I just started using my Active Cables for my Akg Bluelines, and i wanted to know if i should include them in my Lineage, or atleast make a note of it.
I haven't up to this point, becuase i never list any of my cables in my Lineage, but using the Active Cables is something out of the Ordinary, that i dont normally do.

Do you guys think its info that needs to be added?

Thanks for your opinions,
Rhys

considering that all the other actives are usually(kcy, kc5, lc3, etc...) i would rhys, anyone else

[Lee]

you paid for them, might as well take credit for it

[F.O.Bean]

damn, im at a satanic ## of tix

[Sean Gallemore]

actives are generally included

[greenone]

I'm with Lee - boast away.

I note them and think it makes sense to do so.  I usually mark mine:

caps/actives/body > etc.

In my case:

MK4/KC5/CMC6 > etc.

[herrmann2burn]

cool. Thanks. I just wasnt sure, becuase i wouldnt think it would have any effect on sound.
Here is how the AKG Catelog lists it:
MK 90/3 + H 98
The description is: Microphone Cable and Adapter for Blueline Series.

How should i write this in my Lineage?
Lets say i am using the CK91 caps with them.  Would it look like this:
(DIN)AKG 391's(MK90/3 + H 98)>UA-5pmod>24/48(SF5.0)Toshiba Portege 3480

Does that look right?

Or, following Brian's suggestion: CK91>MK90/3 +H 98>SE 300 B>UA-5pmod>24/48(SF5.0)Toshiba Portege 3480

the actives are in between the caps and bods.....

ck91/mk90/3 + H 98/SE300b doesn't look right, though

[Brian Skalinder]

(DIN)AKG 391's(MK90/3 + H 98)>UA-5pmod>24/48(SF5.0)Toshiba Portege 3480.

That communicates the equipment used.  If it was me, I'd do something like

AKG CK91/(MK90/3+H98)/SE300B > etc.  Whatever you're comfortable with, both your notation above and mine communicate the same info, mine just lists it in its actual physical order.  I wouldn't sweat the details too much (well, actually, I would because I'm a little OCD that way, but that doesn't mean you should!).

[herrmann2burn]

Great.  Thanks for the advice.

a little OCD? j/p

[Lee]

I'm a big fan of noting signal path in source info, so I'd do it like this if it were me:

CK91>MK90/3 +H 98>SE 300 B>pmod UA-5@24/48>SoundForge 5.0

You mean like adding noise?
