Hi Group.

I am seeking a solution for the ganging of my long throw Master L/R faders - I think they are P&G (on a TAC Magnum).

Sometimes when pulling fades I hear the sound taper off to one side or the other near the very end. I've seen hardware cover caps that can cover two faders to gang them physically - but it was many years ago and I cannot find anything like that around now.

I've looked at other solutions like maybe installing a L/R fader with only one stem, but sometimes it is nice to be able to quickly lower or raise one side only.

I think the best solution is a physical cap of some sort. Does any one else have this problem and if so, what do you do for a workaround?

Anyone know where to buy a cap like this?

Thanks!

Some people use a pencil or a piece of dowel. I have a really nice tiebar
that I whittled out of wood with a pocketknife.

You could probably make one with a 3-D printer too.

Thanks for the suggestions.

The Canford units look exactly like what I want but I don't think they will fit my ALPS fader knobs (I checked and I have ALPS and not P&G).

Anyone know of a similar model for the ALPS profile?

I have a square hole driller (sort of) attachment for my drill press that would work, or even a scroll saw, or a Dremel. Any of those would make quick work of cutting out the rectangles from a piece of acrylic, PVC, or even 1/8" plywood.

And yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about - my old Ramsa mixer had a clear plastic piece like that.

Blue-tack maybe ?

It's worse than that, different consoles may have different spacing between
channels even if they use the same faders. And some of them (most notably
API) may have console-specific knobs.

Do it custom, it isn't hard.

Toothbrush handle (or other plastic shaft) and a dremel could work
something up and not look to amateur ...

Broken-off piece of a wood pencil tied to the fader knobs with a rubber
band. Sometimes something that looks too amateur impresses the visitors
more. And it works.
