Hi, I just bought a Tascam 414 MKII on eBay.. it went for 100$.. couldn't let that deal slip, seeing as they go for around 300$ new over here. Now maybe I should've thought twice about that. It occured to me only later that off course the voltages in the US are different than in Europe. You use...

Hi, I'm doing an exam on ProTools tomorrow at the SAE (School for Audio Engineering) where I'm studying at the moment. There's a few little things I'm not sure on so here goes; -How can I put one plugin on multiple tracks? -On the Procontrol, how do I get into surround mix mode? That's pretty...

So I placed an ad looking for someone to look at my 388. There's a few things that are not working and I think most of it comes from the pots which are really crackly and need a cleaning. Anyway, I just got an email from a guy saying cleaning the pots on a 388 is nearly impossible due to the...

So.. I was going to buy that Otari MX5050, but someone snagged it before me..argh, seemed like a really cool machine. Anyway, I have a new deal going on now, it's a Tascam 38, said to be in good shape (will be checking that out soon). I can get it for about 200$, good deal or not? Anyway, what...

Just a quick question. If I buy a Tascam 414 Porta from the USA , will I be able to use it over here in Europe at 220V?

Hm, there's a 100$ difference between the 2. So I can get either the 410 with the 2 built in pres or the Audiophile and get me a <100$ mixer like a Behringer or a Yamaha. What would you choose? Does the 410 have better converters? And would its preamps be significantly better than the ones in...

Right now I have a PIII 750Mhz 265 RAM Laptop that I want to use for recording . It has XP installed, but I'm not too happy about that as it consumes alot of RAM. I still have an old Windows 98 (Not SE!!!) disc lying here somewhere and I was thinking of installing that to save some RAm. But.. I...

I'm thrilled to say that I might get a deal on an Otari 8-track recorder. I don't know what model it is , but I'm assuming it's the MX5050, or has Otari made more 8-track models?? Anyway, I can get it for 200 Euros, which equals about 180 bucks I guess. Pretty sweet, eh? I'm checking it out...

I can get both at about the same price, which one would you recommend? The Behringer obviously has more features but I've been hearing some great things about the Audio Buddy. Help me out here. thanks

Does anyone know if all 4 inputs can be used simultaneously on this unit? It doesn't say anything about that on the m-audio site as far as I could find.

So I was thinking of getting a Firewire device, but they're quite expensive compared to PCI cards with the same features. The reason I had pretty much steered away from PCI is that my PC is incredibly noisy, particularly the fan. Now I heard that this noise can be picked up by the soundcard...

I'm buying an M-Audio Delta 44 and now I'm in need of a mixer to use as preamp. What I would like, just for convenience, is if it had direct outs on each channel. What I found though is that most budget mixers (mackie 1202/behringer/soundcraft compact/etc.) do not have this. Anything else out...

I'm thinking of buying an M-Audio Delta 44 (4 inputs) and now I'm thinking whether to get a mixer or a seperate preamp unit to feed the mics. Anyway, regarding the mic pre, I'm not too familiar with all the units available, but I have checked some store magazines etc. and I see that most of...

I know it's not the best , in comparison to hardware, but I do not have the money for all this gear. I have heard people mentioning Spark XL, but apparently this is only for the Mac format. Could anyone reccomend me some good programs or plugins for PC? Thanks

I can get one in good condition for 300€, are these good compared to lets say the 38 / Otari 5050?
