Quote : I have a TASCAM DP01-FX eight-track digital recorder. I have been moving mastered tracks (which are WAV files - they're data, not audio) from the eight-track to my laptop via USB. I’ve found that no matter how high I set the levels when I master them, the output from the TASCAM is very...

OK, I've done a bit of reading up on this, but I'm looking for some more general advice, and a vague idea what this might cost. I have plenty of willing hands to help, and some of them have more DIY knowledge than me - which would be very little. I've got a 15' x 9' concrete shed. It's 7'...

Turned on my A80 - I've got power to the tape guide light and the light for the varispeed, but none to the transport or any of the individual channels... A blown fuse? Armageddon? Any ideas? Tried a different power cable. Tried prayer and human sacrifice. No joy.

A friend of mine got one ( almost unused - great condition ), and I had a quick look through the manual .. obviously he's going to have to open up the machine, but how hard is it to get at the calibration points?

Assuming they're both in good nick etc. which would win out in terms of quality? The P7 seems to be a bit more versatile, so which would sound better, and by how much?

What's the best way to protect a multicore that has to be run between two buildings? It's probably going to have to contend with rain and cold for a few hours a day... anyone done this?

I was looking at some pics on recordingconsoles.net , and it looks like the take-up reel is on the left-hand side of the machine. I thought they were usually on the right?

It's a long shot, but I'm looking for a 1/2" or 1" - 8 or 16 track in either northern or southern Ireland. Cheers!

Hi, I'm thinking of buying a M-224 that's going cheap. Only problem is, I was hoping to use it with a 16-track tape machine, and although there's 16 tape " in's " there's no tape outs, which would mean I could only use it for mixing, and not tracking. Have I got it wrong?

And the chances are there's lots of information out there to help me, but I'd love a few pointers on where to start looking. Moved to a new place, somewhat out in the country. There's two sheds, the larger of which I have to myself. It's a 15' x 9' concrete job.. I reckon the ceiling is about...

There's a 2nd hand 38 going for about $600 - assuming that it's in decent shap ( although I'm betting I'll need to get it serviced ) how worthwhile are they? How dependable or otherwise, and how good do they sound? Should I be waiting for a better machine to come along?

Ok, before listening, bear in mind that this was recorded in a rehearsal room - no monitors, no effects - onto a tascam 4-track (onto two tracks on a tascam 4-track, in fact). I ran all the mics through the PA mixer in the room. I hooked up the two tracks on the 4-track to the tape outs on the...

Tried the analog only forum, but no-one's biting... My Yamaha MT8X is giving me trouble. When I play back recordings, they seems to be kinda flanged / wobbly. I've tried different tapes, since I left one near a speaker, and thought that might be the problem, but no joy. What would you expect to...

Hi. I bought a second-hand Yamaha MT8-X recently. Worked fine for a few weeks, but I've noticed that when I play back recordings, the sound is kinda wobbly/flanged like the tape motor has a problem or something. Also, sometimes when I hit rewind, the tape can't rewind (cue upset machine noise)...

My band and I are taking a week or two to record a demo at one of our houses. We probably have 2/3 rooms to play around with. I'll be getting a lend of a digital 8 track of some description, probably renting mics and a bass drum. My question is...does anyone have suggestions as to the best way...
