I needed a better computer keyboard controller, and came across this Casio CTK496 which was on sale whith a can't give it away price, so I picked it up.:D The keyboard action is quite good and evan some of the sounds might possibly be able to use. After I got it out of the box and messed around...

might be a silly question:D, would there be any advantage duplicting from computer to a 4track cassette to be played back on a normal stereo cassette machine. What Im saying is the track in the computer has been sped up. High speed cassette duplication was mainly a commercial way to make many...

Just noticed that there is new RMGI tape in ebay here in Australia now. I wonder if that is a sign of something changed? Iv got more tape than I need, never got around to the new stuff whithout shelf live?:D Maybe I should get a few anyway, its a lot easier to order that way. Maybe some new...

Has anyone of heard of the Teczon Dub Multi 2x4 4 track multitrack cassette machine? I don't know what country it came from? It slightly resembles the old tascam multitracks. It has the VU meters, but no sliders in that they are all pots, and has 2 band EQ. Not sure whether it records all 4 at...

anyone made anything whith those small type tubes found in korg and behringer products. You can get these guitar preamp kits whith that type of tube. anyone?

I got one of these now cheap:D The audio specs are not too good whithout noise reduction and it is normal speed too. It does have a noise gate, amp/microphone modelling and other effects. The speakers are handy for quick monitoring. I know the Tascam's are better units, but I thought this one...

I thought this topic deserves a thread in its own right. Now I have various bits and pieces of unbalanced and balanced stuff and Im wondering about the best match between them, such as some type of converter. Far as I can see so far consumer grade unbalance equipment is -10dbv and the...

Curious about this. How come mixer pots get dirty when they are not exposed? Of course the mixer sliders are exposed to dirt or whatever. How do you know the EQ knob is dirty? I suppose cleaning knobs would require mixer to be completely dismantled?

Anyone have any thoughts about VHS as an audio recorder? The machines and tape are very cheap, ussualy someone has one hardly used lying around and so it is worth a try. Their frequency response is fairly good for its speed, but it does have helicon? scan. I don't know if it makes much...

Is there any advantage in erasing tapes whith an external tape eraser? Would it improve the tape for recording or would it make it worse? ---
