JackHenry Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 If you are short of time, (or brains) you can now pay someone to burn your cables in for you. Interestingly, they only charge per cable, not per metre. So that's gotta be a good deal. Right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonhobbit Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 One time I didn't get my boom plugged in quick enough and the sound just puddled onto the floor. Real bad mess, I just walked away. Scott..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarcanon Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I've seen similar services advertised for hard disks and SSDs. They will burn these in for a flat fee as well. The one I used very helpfully suggested that, before I shipped my drives in, to do a low-level format and completely zero-fill them. As a result, shipping costs were greatly reduced due to the lower weight. I didn't realize that data could weigh that much, but I guess it really adds up, especially now that drives are in the terabyte range. - Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Feeley Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I'm going to sell off my used burned-in mic cables for merely twice what a raw harsh cable costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikewest Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Did have a burnt cable due to a failed vehicle stunt but the producer would not pay for it! mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Wielage Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I just checked my cables on this special meter... Yep, that's what I thought. No burn-in necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylormadeaudio Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I have my cables burnt in before every project - fortunately, production pays for it. The hard part is getting them to pay for the post-wrap cable burn out. Just getting them on the phone to ok the charges is really hard! It's worth it though - having your cables laying around between jobs, full of a bunch of 1's & 0's is really just irresponsible these days - with all the extra weight and stagnation issues. That's just lazy. So all you green gills out there listen up: Burn in your new cables before using them on any job that matters - and then don't forget to BURN YOUR CABLES OUT when the job is finished, ok? ~tt ps ~ these folks provide an excellent service at a reasonable price: www.peoplebelieveanything.buz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Toline Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 and don't forget to drain out all the sound from your cables at the end of the day so they'll be nice and clear for the next day. They drain faster if you hang them female end down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
