Not sure i get you panda.

@Remote - hahah after function not pretty shinyness. Its for a home setup and to have 4 decks setup with the option of using timecode or standard cds and vinyl without the need to rewire or boot laptop this suits me down to the ground And i still have an extra £90ish in my pocket to spend elsewhere

i just want to know if i can plug it straight into the mixer if the mixer has xlr inputs

if this would be the xlr out from the multicore cable -> -> into xlr ins

just for example

god knows ... not mine. My solution has sacked off all the xlrs etc and just using good old rca cables and splitters. Not $8200 ones though

I have been thinking about creating some cables like the Multi-Core Cables NI puts out, only with some different variations. For example, not everyone uses the XLR - so i could make cables that don't have XLR collections (and cables with XRL too of course). I would try to make them with silicon casing if possible so they are super flexible. If i could put out the cable at a significantly reduces price to the NI multicore cables, would anyone be interested in purchasing these ?

Watch your back Bento, arent NI trying to get a patent on these cables?

You may wake up in the night surrounded by the NI swat team with the ends of 50 shooters at the tip of your nose

Won't work mate, the multicore aren't standard XLR cables. XLR are 3 pin, multicore are 7 pin
