Members the stranger Posted October 12, 2011 Members Share Posted October 12, 2011 Check out this simple, yet effective idea. I've used these things for years for various curtain hanging, etc. But I never thought of this one. Will be implementing immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members techristian Posted October 13, 2011 Members Share Posted October 13, 2011 I thought that you were talking WIRELESS here. I have 100 or more cables, (not always in use at the same time) so I am beyond hope. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Beck Posted October 13, 2011 Members Share Posted October 13, 2011 Nice idea! I've been using some self-adhesive plastic clips since the '80s but I think I like what you have here a bit better because you don't have to open and close anything. The ones I've been using are something like these, but not exactly. I can't find a pic of the ones I use online at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WRGKMC Posted October 13, 2011 Members Share Posted October 13, 2011 I been using the same clips for 20 years. You can clip a bunch of cables together and remove the chrome arms and make a snake, clip them to a desk as a Headphone hook, Clip lyrics to a stand, clip mic cords to a mic stand,Hook one chrome arm to a ceiling and use it to clip cable runs up out of the way. I've probibly found a dozen more uses over the years. The good part is you arent using something stickey or screwing hooks in and can move them around as needed.

Members Extreme Mixing Posted October 16, 2011 Members Share Posted October 16, 2011 My accountant sister showed me that one. It's great for keeping cables from falling behind the desk when you need to unplug them. And the right price, too!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Goobers Posted October 16, 2011 Members Share Posted October 16, 2011 my assistant who has a MA in audio engineering is just fixing the cables right now What is a cook in a dumpling restaurant in Shenzhen doing with an assistant? Does he make the dumplings and you stuff them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members A. Einstein Posted October 16, 2011 Members Share Posted October 16, 2011 What is a cook in a dumpling restaurant in Shenzhen doing with an assistant? That's none of your business, and apart from that, I am not in Shenzhen and my assistant is from Nanjing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thankyou Posted October 17, 2011 Members Share Posted October 17, 2011 Thanks for the tip. It will be really handy in my camper, where everything serves multiple purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zooey Posted October 17, 2011 Members Share Posted October 17, 2011 Looks good for keeping skinny computer cables from falling behind your desk. Not so great for cable management in general or audio cables, unless you happen to have great big binder clips and a shelf of the right width exactly the right height off the floor.

Members techristian Posted October 17, 2011 Members Share Posted October 17, 2011 You should look into a short fiberoptic snake maybe? They're not all in the studio a once, but I have a chest full of old cables, microphone cables, line cables, video cables, midi cables, edrums with cables, acoustic drums with cables, keyboards with cables, computers with cables !! I don't think a single snake can address all of the types of cables. Then there are the cables in my home entertainment system. Even that has become complex! 3 TV boxes, and 2 USB hard drives, an old Replay box. It goes on and on. I usually have to tug on a wire to figure out where it is going to.

Members JeffLearman Posted October 17, 2011 Members Share Posted October 17, 2011 Binder clips! great for everything except ... binders. Brilliant idea, that one. I am looking forward to the day when our gear is mostly wireless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members scud133 Posted October 17, 2011 Members Share Posted October 17, 2011 another cable tip: I have one on every XLR and guitar cable. Stays tight around the cable (doesn't get lost) and is easy to fasten when you're packing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
