Comment on You should know how to coil cables

For anyone working on or around stages:
Most sane production companies standardise on over-under. Even if you find some other method superior (nothing is), you’ll get thrown out headfirst if you don’t follow the standard. Having a tech fuck around with a non-compliant cable during a changeover is far too risky.
Should be noted that there are special cases. For example, thicccc cables (i.e. 24ch analog multi) that have their own dedicated cases often go down in an 8 instead - easier to pull out and you can use a smaller case. Thank god for digital audio.
(Also, when using over-under correctly, you can throw the cable and it will land straight without any internal stresses winding it up like a spring)

The thicc boys are called, horse cocks, and not enough kids have worked with them these days ;p

For the record - analog multis can burn in hell. Nowadays, not running all of the show over Cat6 should be criminal.
