In the film, I discuss the parts of my studio and the wiring that makes it work without me having to plug in and unplug pieces of equipment. Spending a little time on the planning of the studio layout and then spending a fairly modest amount of money on specific cabling and connectors will yield a setup that should give you years of trouble-free recording and mixing.

My personal experience originated in London, where I was a maintenance and studio installation engineer at EMI Townhouse studios, where cabling and connecting were given an extremely high priority, and with good reason: a studio that charged £3000 a day had to work without a session being halted by faulty connections and cables. Studio 2 was given a full refurbishment in 1996, involving tens of thousands of solder terminations and huge amounts of cabling. How lucky I was to learn that trade at a top studio. Everything I know about audio installs comes from my two years at Townhouse, and the fifty or so studio installations I have done since then have yet to throw up a single fault (I offered a guarantee on all soldering faults, and always installed extra cable channels in the event that a fault may occur).
