Hey folks, I've got a studio that has been exclusively tape machines and analog for about 4 years now, and I'm just now taking the step to utilizing the digital realm. I've got nothing against digital other than I don't understand it as much. Tape machines and analog work flow make more sense...

Hi folk, I'm stepping into the digital realm in my studio right now with the acquisition of the Universal Audio Apollo 16 Analog Digital converter. In looking at what else I need to make this unit work for me, I'm wondering if anybody has any advice on which Thunderbolt PCI card to get? I'm...

Hi all, I've been trying to get a couple of kinks worked out of my newly acquired tascam MS-16. I was chatting with Miroslav about it in another thread but am still chasing some things, hoping you lot can help me out! I've taken a couple of videos to try and show as best as possible the...

Hi all. I've recently picked up an Oscilloscope and am wondering what to do with it. I picked it up because I know you check head azimuth with it, but what else does this thing do? I still need to download the manual for it and dive in but I was wondering what you guys use yours for(if ya...

Hi all, I’ve a question for you that i can’t find the answer to myself. I’m sure it’s out there but i couldn’t track it. Anyway, I just started getting into soldering my own cables and such, and right now i’m working on soldering a patch bay. I just got a Fluke 87 multimeter off an...

Hi all. I've recently bought a new halftrack, an Otari MTR 10. The guy I bought it from was using it regularly until he purchased an Ampex deck, and is a good guy that I've bought from before, I know he didn't hose me. I bought it, brought it straight home carefully, and upon playback, it did...

https://youtu.be/7165yrEdGcU Hi all. So every since i've had these MS16's, i've noticed they make a slight noise from time to time, seemimgly coming from the tape rubbing against the take up reel. I've switched the reels and it doesn't seem to follow only the reels. My question is, is...

Hey guys, I just recently got a steal on two MS-16's that are in great shape. Heads are great, everything was absolutely well maintained and kept up. The only problems I have encountered was I had to reseat the card on channel 16, which is great now, and I have a lot of crosstalk/bleed. It...

Hi everyone, I'm hoping you can save my session once again! My band just got some new tape for our 388 and what we're hearing through the monitors live, is nowhere near what's coming through on playback. We just got ATR NAB 1/4 inch pancake that we wound onto a 7" reel ourselves. Previously...

Hi all, I posted a while back about using the 388 together with a teac 80-8, and some people encouraged me at the time to share my final results here. Well, I ended up not using the 80-8, and went all 388, all analog until the final mixed. I dumped the audio from the stereo outs onto a radar...

Hey all, my band is treking into the mountains for a week to finish our album. We've recorded the whole thing with a 388, but the heads have never been demagnetized or cleaned. I'd like to do this before we leave Friday. I've read and researched on here a bit but I've read some conflicting...

Hi all, I just got a Teac 80-8 off of my friend, and it doesn't have a board with it, it's just the reel to reel console. I also have a tascam 388, and I was curious if there's any way to use the mixer section of the 388 to operate the 80-8? If that's not possible, what would be my best mixer...
