Hi, Have the Zoom L-12 'Livetrack' digital recorder. I can record well on one channel. The overdub button will not illuminate - so I can't overdub. Any advice please? Thanks :)

Hi, Can the Korg Electribe EA1 be used just to model an incoming (line-in) sound please, as opposed to adding a rhythm or beat to something? Am interested in ambient sounds which stretch out forever, often just one tone subtly shifting. Can I do this with the Korg Electribe EA1...

diagram Thanks Mark for the recent post, Part of my problem is I never used advanced analg mixing equipment back in the day, so I am still wrestling with the 'send' concept. My 'new' set-up works but it does not give me as cleaner signal as the straight mic, probably for the reasons you...

Thanks guys - & sorry, Had a brainstorm & did something completely different - but it works - no idea why? But good, clean levels in the software. Don't know why it works - but it does - the trick was to a) plug the mic to the left channel, which I'd configured in the menu, then b) add...

Hi, Want to use an MX300 for vocals in conjunction with an analogue mixer - Yamaha MG102c, can this be done please? I'd hope to run 1/4" analogue jacks to the mixer from the MX300. I feed the MG102 to my DAW by way of a digital interface - FastTrack USB. Thanks :)

Hi, Just tried to run a line-in to the Korg in order to use it to process some audio, but I could get no sense out of it. I then hooked up a Korg Kaos Pad and processed the pre-recorded audio that way, but I really wanted to use the Micro Korg's synthesizer settings to shape some sounds. I...

Hi, If I had to spin a coin between the Nano2 & the Lexicon MX200, primarily for groovy reverbs on mic, which one should I go for please? I use an analogue mixer into my pc interface - not sure whether a dedicated fx unit would hook up with the mixer or plug straight to the interface direct...

Hi, Got these phones couple of years ago as serious~ish studio phones (with good bass response). Had no trouble with them at all - pretty all round excellent. KNS 6400 Studio Headphones KRK SYSTEMS Other day I turned my DAW on and put the phones on to listen to a track: nothing. Spent about...

Well I got a result, have managed to split guitar & vocals (MIC) with some echo FX on the vocals Needed to replug the guitar-out jack to OUT/IN-UNBAL socket. This works but I don't know if there's a better socket to use.

Here's a slightly earlier Yam mixer but with FX. I followed the advice re sockets but am still in a muddle. Can't seem to separate out the mic (vocals) from the guitar - am I plugged in wrong again? This time it's all electronic via usb interface to a pc mix/record software. It's too...

Thanks. I'm obviously going to have to experiment! :D Am considering looking for a dedicated mic-reverb box, the hiss from the echo unit is pretty intrusive. Funny, though, it sounds ok through phones but not so good on play-back. Have only ever tinkered with studio recording, but now I want...

Hi, Am trying to get some echo/reverb on a mic. I tried putting the mic through an effects pedal and the result is rather faint and decidedly hissy. There is a 'send' jack on my mixer but I don't know how to use it - the mic goes through the mixer, all my music gear does. Can I patch an echo...

Hi, Can anyone tell me what an average volume reading would look like on this analogue display please? Its a Sony double cassette deck. What do the '+' and '-' numbers mean ~ are these decibels? Thanks ps. i mean, what's an optimal *recording level* for this deck please - going by the...

Hi, Can I use ISOPROP to clean a pinch roller please? There's a thread here which mentions doing that: Film-Tech Forum: TEAC Rubber Cleaner I don't think custom-made chemicals for tape deck cleaning are easily available these days. Any further suggestions for cleaning the capstan and so...

Thanks ;) These were the settings I used for the overdub - they allowed me to monitor in stereo through the phones or https://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p32/r_i_c_2007/88674483-9319-4b6e-8c5b-e2e6b8d32131_zpsbd59237d.jpg
