DONE! DONEDONEDONE!

(The day after I finished installing the "table" for keyboards and various stuff).

Now, let's make some music... Hummm... The volume is a bit quiet, maybe I've changed the cursor while I was putting it back... Let's see. Hoi, why is the cable so thight? Damn, it got tangled. Need to unravel this mess, hoi, is also tied with cableties ... who did this? Oh, right. Me.

Get the cutter, cut the strip, THE STRIP NOT THE CABLE IDIOT, ok, route the cable the other way around with some slack, put it back... hmmm... better use some velcro.

Ok, done. And with this the cables are also fixed. Done.

(the next day)

Hmmm... This holder for the headphones is really garbage, ok I didn't pay it too much. Let's go get that clamp I was using before, it doesn't look like much but it work better. Now, I need to re route the cable. Hugh, I had it pass over here, why? Fish the cable out of the holder, remove the velcro, re-route the other way, velcro it back. Maybe I should add it to this other bunch of cables, should be better, ok, reconnect to the headphone. Now, DONE. DONE!

(the next day)


Meh, I'm not in the mode to play this guitar, let's grab the other one that I haven't touch for sometimes. Oh damn, I've connected the cable to the stand, why did I decide to use cableties? Ok, take it off, hei, I had some mic cables with L-connectors, let's grab one. 

Go get the cable, remove the old one, that means spend half an hour removing a lot of velcro straps and try not to have all the cables explode around. Get the new cable, connect everything.

Ok, done. DONE! DO-NE!

(the next day)

(play some keys in the keyboard, get some not-so-convincing noises) Hug.. wtf? It was working ok yesterday... Maybe did I messed up something while I was cleaning? Let me see, it must be the cable that goes to the mixer.

Unravel the cable, damn, I've tied it with the other one, where is the cutter? Re-route the cable around, check that is connected. Nope, same as before. Try to connect the headphones directly to the keyboard, it works fine, has to be the mixer then? Try to check the cables to the mixer, can't see anything, begin un-patching all the cables. Connect the keyboard alone, same as before. Wtf? Ho, wait, what is this cable? Effects? Unpatch it, check, it works.

Ok, let's put everything back and we'll see later (wanna bet?)
DONE!

(the next day)

Hummm... Is a bit I haven't used this synth, where is the midi cable? Urgh, why is it so short? Hold on, I had some 3mt cables... let's grab one. Get the cable, begin unraveling the old one. Damn, why did I passed it around the stand? Wait a minute, what is this gigantic roll? Oh, the cable IS 3 mt long, but is wrapped up for 2.4 meters! Ok, unwrap-it, feed it through the support, the other way around, put it with the others, wonderful, now is no longer super-thight! And I got an extra one too...

And with this I'm done with the cables. DONE WITH THE CABLES! DONE!

...wanna bet?

Le fascette. Strumento imprescindibile per i maniaci del cable management, quelli che godono come ricci quando vedono fasci di fili tutti perfettamente raccolti e in ordine, magari pure divisi per tipologia, quanto fonte di bestemmioni articolati non appena devi spostare qualcosa.

Si, rientro in questa categoria di maniaci che si trasformano in campioni mondiali di mòccoli al solo pensiero di dover spostare o cambiare un cavo xD

suggerimento, a pochi euro (sia da amazon che da aliexpress) si trovano delle utilissime e comodissime fascette con velcro che ti semplificano davvero la vita quando vai a cambiare qualcosa. io ne ho preso un sacchetto da un centinaio qualche anno fa e credo non le finirò mai!

Si trovano anche dal locale negozio del fai-da-te, ed infatti ne ho una tonnellata, non lo so mi ca perche' ho deciso di metterci delle fascette "normali".. rincoglionimento probabilmente.
