Greetings all, currently working on setting the Repro levels on my Fostex Model 80 8-track tape machine. I've purchased the correct MRL for this machine - 21J303-A = 15ips, IEC1, 320 nWb/m, 1/4" I just had one quick question.... I'll be using Scotch 207 NOS for this machine, which is +3 tape...

Greetings, currently calibrating the meters on my Tascam M-216 mixing board, so I downloaded a tone oscillator on my iPhone. Unfortunately, the app simply states "db" on the volume control. I just want to make sure that db in this case indeed means "dbfs". That is how the audio output from an...

Hey everyone, quick question about MRL tapes.. I need to align my Model 80 as I will be doing some tracking soon. MRL's are expensive, so I instead borrowed a 1/4" MRL from my Professor, sweet! I just saved a hundred(ish) bucks! (or so I thought) When I got home, I noticed the tape speed of...

Greeting analog people, quick question for you concerning tape choice.. I have a Fostex Model 80 1/4" 7". A fresh roll of Ampex 456 came with the unit when I bought it (new old stock). My question is, what tape would be a good match for the Model 80? Any ideas? Is the Ampex 456 a good choice...

Hey there guys, quick question about RCA cables for ya. I've got a Fostex Model 80 and a Tascam M216 mixing board as the heart of my rig. Well as an analog dude, I also dig on vinyl, and I know my bit about record players. All the audiophiles on the vinyl forums say that the best upgrade for...

Hey there guys, these came in a box of old 1/4" tape I bought, anyone have any idea what they are?? Thanks for any info

Hey guys, real quick question, but I can't seem to find a solid answer on the interwebs. Does the Tascam M216 have direct RCA's out? If so, are they on all channels, just the first 8 perhaps? Thanks in advanced guys, I always enjoy learning from you guys on the Analog Only forum, easily the...

Hey there all, I recently bought a Fostex Model 80 in real nice condition, but I won't bore you with that.. I was wondering, does anyone have any good mixer suggestions to interface with the Model 80. Honestly, I want something like a Tascam M-35, but I'm wondering if I should just jump for...

Greetings everyone, I was poking around eBay and came across a Sansui RA-500 reverberation amplifier (complete with real spring reverb unit inside). I'm looking to record an album 100% analog this winter, which means no computers. As such, I'll need a reverb unit to color my tracks a bit. My...

Greetings, I've been studying and practicing music production for a while now and I think I'm ready to move from digital to tape. I've worked with tape on a few occasions, and its just more appealing to me as a craft (but if your reading this, I don't really need to explain myself here, you...

Hey there everybody, I had a quick question concerning compression and a specific drum sound. Well, some of my favorite drum sounds can be found on tracks like "Green Onions" (by Booker T and the MGs) and Rumble (Link Wray). I would post links to these tunes, but I'm a newb, and still haven't...

Hey guys. This is actually my first post on homerecording.com, though I have gathered a lot of good information from other peoples posts on this site. I recently purchased a Teac 144 4-track recorder, in good shape! Well, I've recorded some stuff to tape, and now I want to re-record into...
