Type And Usage Of Important Studio Cables

This lesson is for week 1 of Introduction To Music Production at Coursera.org. I will show you type and usage of important studio cables.

The main idea behind this presentation is to show cable, and on which type of instrument/equipment/etc it can be plugged.

I hope that after this presentation, you won't try to plug your long 1/4 TS cable, with a lot of electronic equipment not far from it, into your stereo equipment !
