I just picked up a nice condition Fostex Model 20 today. I'm hearing some "crackling" on channel 1 when I playback a recording. Its dynamics/loudness follows the dynamics of the recording --> loud deep electronic kick drums for example.
Any ideas on what this may be?
Would anyone consider trading me a half track 1/2" or 1/4" machine for my "like new" fostex E-16? I will include two remotes (one is the full blown auto locator with smpte to midi conversion, etc).
email me @ adam at b-mp dot com if interested
i'm located in downtown san francisco
So is the arm that pops up when entering into fast forward or rewind supposed to lift the tape fully off of the record/repro head? Am I not seeing a lever or switch somewhere that allows it to fully lift the tape off the head?
I'm looking for a good condition 16 track 1/2" tape machine. Tascam or Fostex...
Also hoping to find a remote to go with it.
thanks in advance,
adam

I'm working mostly in experimental electronic music and oddly enough, through the years I've found the computer to get so much in the way that the concept of taking it entirely out of my composition chain has become inspiring to say the least.
I don't have a whole hell of a lot of space right...
