    Otari MX 5050 MK III 8 motor/brake problem

    No, not yet! but this sounds like a may be a fun challenge. I'm going to take off the side panel again tomorrow and see if anything looks loose. Again, if anyone knows anything that would be awesome! PS, I'm sure it's the same one I bought! I'm in portland, and I went to vancouver to get it!

    Otari MX 5050 MK III 8 motor/brake problem

    So I just bought an Otari MX 5050 MK III-8 for $150, a steal right? But the right motor is being sketchy. It won't move. It moved for a smidgen for a little bit, and then stopped. We opened up the side, when we thought it might be a loose belt, but it doesn't use belts. THought it might be...

    666 I use 6 mics, I have the worlds shitiest drum mic kit, ($150 CAD kit) which I can actually get some pretty decent sounds out of. BUt I like to put SM57 on the snare instead of the crap they provide. I want to use 8 mics so I can get some room sound, but I have my compressor eating up two...

    Event 20/20p's...how flat are they?

    Yep Yeah, I've got a se of 20/20's, and it does have light bass response. One of the forst mixes I did for a friend I ended up blowing some car speakers. Oops. You just gotta get used to um. I barley notice it now, but you gotta mix it at about half of what you think it should sound like. Its a...

    how to get the kick drum to stick out in the mix

    this sounds like it needs compresion, and warmth. see if you can find the PSP vintage warmer plug in, and maybe a sonic maximizer for the low end. and make sure you don't have the bass eating up all your low end.

I've got the board running the aux outs to the compressor, but when I run them through the aux returns, it won't record with compression. I can hear it compressing, and can...
