I should have mentioned that as you get more proficient with this you can just roll the cable either direction in your fingers rather than turning your wrist. Hope it helps someone!
I studied audio engineering at the Recording Workshop...they wouldn't let us graduate until we mastered this!
Same. We had to be able to wrap 10 cables and toss them tangle free across the live room.
Not gonna lie, whenever I see someone roll a cable over their elbow a little piece of me dies.
SAME 😂
Haha, must admit i used the elbow technique when I started music, until I went to a studio...
@@benjapied1121 Used to run intern at a camera rental company, they also gave out courses on cinematography and the like. I got dragged out in front of every single class to show how to over-under, all in good fun mind you but now I can't unlearn it which saves all sorts of time
I have an alternative way to get the same effect, instead of flipping your wrist every other time, you use you thumb and pointer finger to twist or turn the cable 180 degrees. This is good for cables under 25'
The most crucial video I never expected but always needed.
Ive never thought I would enjoy watching a "how to roll cables" video
Been playing guitar 18 years. How have I never seen this?? Incredible!
It sounds so silly, but I had a cable management course at RECW when I was studying audio engineering. This simple everyday process will drastically change your life if you're a working engineer or musician.
6 dislikes!?!?!? Who tf dislikes a how to video on how to properly wrap a cable? Anyway keep killing it Colt, thanks for the vids.
That was a good toss I must say
record-breaking dare I say...
I have a way of rolling the cable in my hand that doesn't require such wild wrist movement that accomplishes the same thing.
For ties, unless somebody already has velcro (I purchased a couple dozen from my distributor that all came with velcro ties) the cheap work around is go to your local Lowes or Home Depot or the like and look for parachute cord where they have rope.
I cut around 12" pieces and tie a knot around one end of my cables. Then when the cable is wrapped I tie a bow and toss them in the proper tote/box
There are lots of colors available so I also color code my cables so they are easy to tell from each other when laying hem out. For instance all my audio cables have purple ties, my drum cables have red ties, and my excess xlrs all have light blue ties. Any cables for things like patching or whatever have black ties.
I work in television and we've been using this technique for many, many years. Triax, coax, DT-12, Tac fibre, XLR, you name it. Never did I imagine there would be a RUclips video explaining this technique... good job!
I’ll take you back to my first day working in the engineering department at WBCN in Boston. The year, 1995. My first lesson was over/under. I was not allowed to do anything else until this was second nature.
I'm still gonna use my figure 8 twist knot that I learned from touring mix engineer once. ;-) We could clear a stage in minutes. lol
Amen brother! It's not only the best way, it's the only way! My audio technology professor taught us this method long before we did any live gigs or studio sessions with him. I cannot tell you how many people I've taught this method to over the years working in the industry. Thanks for making this vid! 😃👏🎶🎤🎛️
The very first thing they taught us in "recording school" WAY back in the day up here in BC, I'm talking pre-protools lol. Our Instructor called it "The CBC Twist" as apparently that's where the origins were. that's one thing you missed in the video, the twist part. When creating your loops, give a slight twist to the cable between your first finger and thumb. I was later amazed at how many "pros" I met didn't even know how to properly wrap cables. Great thing for you to have shared! Subscribed
I learned this at SAE Berlin, Awesome Tipp Colt
Short yet usefull. First thing I learned when started as a runner in a comercial studio. All the other assistants made roll all the cables from the previous session, by myself, I wanted to die every end of session When I looked at those bunchs and bunchs of cables. Anyways, This is very important if you want your studio to look neat and tidy, specially when receiving big name clients.
Ive been doing this with my audio cables for a few years now.
also utilize this trick with my welding leads as well!
I agree it is by far the best way to roll up any cable!
Ha! At the end of a show my old boss made me recoil an either 100’ or 200’ 24-channel snake three times before I had every single loop coiled correctly. I had learned the technique in school but over the course of 200 feet I kept losing my place.
That is a great way to roll cables. The way I roll cables is I take for both jacks and put them together and then grab the other end where the cable turns at the other end and fold that to the jacks and then do it again until it looks like a bow tie. Then I use ponytail holders girls use that have the two marbles and and an elastic band. I put that around the cable and keeps the cable in place. I learned that at a recording studio in Westminster, Calif where I recorded.
People often ask me if they can help and roll up some cables after a session. The answer is usually "I appreciate the offer, but I'll get it" because most don't do this and it just causes issues :-)
Awesome man, studio wrapping is so hard on em thanks for the tip bro def helps
Damn right! It’s page 1 stuff. Still getting the hang of it, but it’s so useful!!
Works for hosepipes too! 👍
Great technique!
Nice distance on that throw, dude.
SOOO useful. Thanks for sharing!
perfect framing on the cable throw lol
I fully expected to have to do that 20 times before it looked right, somehow that was the first try LOL
@@ColtCapperrune its a frickn miracle! I probably would've shot that 10 times before getting something useable. Nice throw
Big thanks!
Priceless hint ! 👌🏼👍🏼🙏🏼
I always just turned the cable one way when coiling. Tried this on all my free cables and it's almost as fast. For me it's easier to just twist with the fingers than turning the wrist.
Maybe I won't need to walk around uncoiling anymore. Thanks!
One thing to watch out for, is when you stretch the cable again, not to unfold it from the wrong side cause every circle will make a knot, just 2 seconds of attention at the beginning makes a lot of difference. Also this method is great if you want to tidy up a already patched cable cause the cable twists in different direction with each circle and doesn end up twisted in the already patched end. Also if you have very long cables rolled in a drum it is perfect for this, i work at football fields and i have a fiber cable 300m long, i roll it that way (cause it fits in my hand and not twisting the fiber is crucial) and bring it in a straight line from the drum and then ill go tot he drum to collect it knowing that it will come to me without knots easily. Also when a mic is plugged in and you may want to go further without a mess it rules
Nice tips 👌🏾
Short' n 'Sweet
Hello, if your cables are not trained, you can lay them under sun for a couple of hours and when you roll them in direction you will be able to retrain them.
I’m a big fan of this method, I also use the figure 8 method which is basically the same thing only it’s for cables that are hundreds of feet long or hundreds of lbs haha
thank you legend!
Useful it is
0:45 looking at the desk
I'm obsessed for yeas about this :D Once ive learned it my life is changed forever :D
nice one
Does this work on wireless units? 😋 Great vid man! Short, sweet, and to the point!!!
Over and under. No need to watch video, but will let it play anyways. Been doing this for 10+ years as a stagehand lol
Personally I use the braid wrap. They will NEVER tangle. It's used in construction, so at end of day you can just pile them all up without a thought and never be tangled up. The over under is great too, if you take the time to do it. The braid takes longer, but so does the over under. The advantages of the braid is you can take out what you need and leave the rest. I suppose you could do the same thing with the over under. Either way works really, both have their uses.
Whole new meaning to "The Cable Guy"
Good ol roadie wrap!!🤘
This is the method preferred for live sound, not studio. For live you want to be able to throw out the cable quickly, that's why it's over under. Studio you just want to hang the cable up on the wall and make sure the connectors are out of the way
This wrap technique becomes vital once you’re getting into speaker cable that’s 100’ long and about an 1” wide. There’s just no other way you should be wrapping cables.
The problem with this (although it is obviously the right way) is, when you unroll it and you pull out the plug on the wrong side,you create one knot after the other.😎
THE WORST
@@ColtCapperrune This is what drives me crazy about Over Under. I was never taught how to do it, I learnt the old school way (essentially Over Over) of just following the natural twist of the cable. I have no idea how you identify the correct "side" of Over Under to start unravelling, so if I'm at a studio where the assistant has coiled them that way I'm basically 50/50 on the easiest uncoiling ever or absolute destruction of the cable in a thousand knots. The old Over Over way, my odds are way better and I simply have to be careful with the cable to avoid a nightmare. In the heat of the moment where you've got a string session or people on the clock if you go to swap a cable and it ends up in knots that ain't gonna fly. Maybe all I need is a follow up video on identifying the correct bit to unravel hahaha.
or when someone lazy picks up half a correctly rolled cable the just springs the rest or they roll it the rest of it left handed and thread the end randomly through loops.. Whoever you are that does this.. i will find you..
Everyone knows that real pros use the 'around the elbow and the thumb' method, then gaffer tape the middle of the cable together in a bow-tie arrangement (lmao).
Packing tape is better - it leaves the cable super sticky so it sticks to the stage all by itself. 😁
@@unclemick-synths If you add in a dose of beer to make sure your connectors are sticky and every hair within a mile radius adheres to the cable, then I find that is the secret mojo that players are looking for. No way did Hendrix use clean cables.
@@TeleCustom72 😁
Preach 😁
Do you use/have bass traps in your studio? I‘be been watching a lot of videos and a lot of people say you have to have them and some never use them. I can’t remember on your video for your new studio walk through if you have them..
hahaha I've been in audio forever and honestly this video was so much value hahaha smh
No wonder our band needs to buy cables every year. But at 2am with all the band wives and leftover shitfaced people helping you breakdown, its almost worth it haha. Nice vid!
It may be handy in studio I don't know, but for live application this method is really not good in my personnal experience. Like the "Throw the cable" is something you never really do. You plug the cable in the stage box (or console), and then "unroll" the cable to the mic and leave the surplus of cable at the bottom of the mic stand. Well now it may be an American thing I don't know xD. In France the most Live sound compagnies I work for do the "normal" cable roll. So not changing sides each 2 rolls but all in the same direction. It's also safe for the cable.
We also have a sort of "rule" to always start to roll a cable with the "female part" in the hand. It ensures 2 things. First, wenn you have a lot of cables and a lot of roadies, there are not 2 guys rolling the same cable without noticing (like one takes the female and the other the male of a same cable). And also if you start with the female part, it ends with the male part, so wenn you cabling a mic, you do the opposite, plug the male and go to the mic to plug the female into it.
Don't know if it's very clear xD. For me it always worked perfectly.
Where can I find the results? I entered and I'm just checking in to see who won.
❤️ 🔥
When your intro is like half the video xD is short 'n sweet tho
Notification squad
But what about cables soaked in Jager?
You just get to lick your fingers after rolling them all for a bit of an extra buzz at the end of the night 😂😂😂
@@ColtCapperrune hahahahah
You left out the roadie's mantra that you're supposed to repeat while performing this technique: Roadies are, "OVERworked and UNDERpaid, OVERworked and UNDERpaid"
Winner of the giveaway plsss
Face the end the other way and it's so much easier on your wrist.
First 🥇❤️
Let’s gooo!! 🤘🏻
This isn't the way to coil a cable in the industry!!!
