Thank you for this post, this is the kind of dialogue I was hoping for. Update. We fixed the issue in 10 minutes and were still using old stock tape, albeit a different tape. Same issue occurred with the other tape until we fixed the problem. PM me if you want the details. I don't feel the need...

The other forum pointed out that if I was running a small section of old tape hard with lots of RW/FF I may have had the tape shift slightly in the transport and start shedding oxide off the edges. That's why once I loosened some tension and tightened it back up it slowed down a little and there...

Searched the archives on another forum and found all the information I needed, and sure enough my theory on the issue was correct. Following your advice would have wasted my money and tape. The tape is not sticky, the machine is fine, the edge shedding is normal given the circumstances, and all...

Are these really the type of responses people are giving on the forum now? I was actually worried about getting back on here because of this type of crap, so if this is where the forum is now, I'll go somewhere else for help. Hopefully a knowledgable long time analog poster who actually read my...

Just jumped back in to recording today and fired up the 80-8 with a reel of used Scotch 206 1/2". I had other reels of 206 and 207 available but wanted to test with a used reel first as it had recordings on it from a prior band (not mine). A friend of mine recorded some vedic mantras, and we...

Is it currently even possible to build or acquire a 5258 or link eight 351's up to the transport? My setup is tube from the amps to the board. My multi-track is sadly not, and the board is 8-track. This is actually for my business, and not the home studio, so there are more funds available to...

I only ask due to the need for our label to be completely green. Instead of buying new vinyl, were taking in the local communities old worn out records, melting them down, and re-making brand new original local music on them in our press. How would one dye recycled vinyl if a customer wanted...

Would it be possible to turn old vinyl in to new blanks to be lathed, or could it be re-pressed? Any chance at all of using worn out vinyl to make new records?

Very good responses here. I should probably clarify what position I'm coming from here to get the thread more laser-focused... I am on Symbicort, and very suspicious of its side effects at this point. Not sure what the least damaging medicine on the market is, but this is definitely something...

I thought I would bring up a topic that pertains to me but also to others as well I'm sure. I am a singer and also have asthma. I was wondering if anyone had any tips or tricks to improve upon weak lung function while also suffering from asthma. I'm not just talking exercises but anything you...

Flower pot guy would've made you break the bank for that! Full marks lad! (In my best sean connery voice)

I'll second the idea that new out of the box 203 does have a "looseness" to it. And I am buying the 1/2" 206. I just happened to come across a nice lot of Green Box 203 had to pick it up. And Donny, do you know at what point the 203 reels switched from completely clear, to then having the...

I just got ahold of 21 reels of "NOS" 203 1/4" 1800'. Ironically, when they arrived, the storage boxes were in varying condition. One could say some were probably not new, while others were clearly relatively brand new. The only way to say if green box 203 is new is the added leader tape they...

If you wouldn't pay X amount of dollars to see them live, never pay more than that for their vinyl. Pretty simple. I'd pay 500 dollars to see maybe 4 artists, all of which are really dead. The rest of the bands I like? I'd never pay more than $200 ticket, and that would be for semi-decent seats.

Maybe when I find a good spot I can set up the whole rig. The 80-8 on top of DX-8 with all the lights on. Would that be cool? I can do both separate as well. :listeningmusic:
