Hey thanx for the feedback, The chords on guitar we're done with a distorted spring reverb unit instead of a cranked amp, I agree that is muddy and clouds the mix, I already did a new mix with a lot of clearing up in the acoustic guitar and guitars allround. I think the bass is indeed a little...

Hello, I would like some feedback on this mix http://soundcloud.com/pigsnoot/the-brothers-deere-westcoast It's mixed ITB and I don't really like it , finding it dull and lifeless...We're trying to get a sound like old Neil Young records, The Band, T-rex and so on, but It's missing that...

Hey Thrust, thanx for the heads up on that! I've read some negative stuff about B16's and wondered why these machines would be inferior (when they went for thousands of dollars back in the day...) Some say they have a muddy or boxy tone, but I love it how the lows and mids get pumped up when I...

Just got the new RMGI tape (SM911) and It's working!!!! Happy Happy Joy Joy All tracks record except track 1, and Track 2 is sounding rather Dull...Guess I have to mess with the trimpots of track 2..I'm not too concerned about the record/playback levels but i am about the Eq settings of Track...

Hey thanx again for the reply I pulled out some of the channel cards, and they look so pristine and clean I can't believe there's anything wrong with them...But as of recapping the lot, I recently recapped an Akai gx 230d , but that was only a 2 channel so 16 channels of recapping looks like a...

Sorry to hijack your thread here, but I have a feeling you are experiencing the same issues as I am I now see the tape I am using to record to is horribly shedded...After some minutes recording and playing The Heads and everything in the tape path is smoddered with brown/blackish goo! Yuck...

I did it! That was one hardass screw, now finally replaced the Belt! Ofcourse it wasn't possible that it would just work now, so I discovered It's not recording anything :-( It's monitoring fine though and the levels are corresponding good.. Any help on this forum?

Also bought one dirtcheap, replaced the drivebelt, It's running smooth but... No record function...Tryed a bunch of tracks not all yet.. It monitors fine though.. I hope It's not too big of an issue!

Hello, I purchased a B16 for 100 bucks, and it's in great shape....Only thing is the drivebelt is worn out and slips of the capstan motor. So I bought a nice clean belt of ebay, and was excited to replace it... Was I disapointed when I realised It's impossible! The screws that hold the...
