I am at a stage in my life when it is time to downside. I started in 2011 to build a home analog studio, I had it running in various incarnations, But Im ready to let it go. I will start posting pictures as I can. Mainly gauging if there is even interest as this forum seems to have slowed down a...

Been a long while guys. Life overcame dreams and now Im going to sell off most all of my analog studio stuff. Should I list here or down in the for sale forum? Not sure how many analoggers go there. I have several 2" machines, a couple of 1/4" mastering machine, big DDA console and tons of...

If so, I'm always up for meeting forum members...

On eBay, I have no horse in this race, but this looks like an opportunity. Tascam 8516 16 Track 1 inch Analog Tape Deck | eBay Cheers.

Hey all.., I normally do all my recording on 2" tape and have it down. I always use Ampex 499. Also use the same for 1/4" mix. But a recent project has me experimenting with a decidedly simplistic recording situation. I am in the process of recording a black metal band in mono using my Nagra...

Cool, wonder if the new owner will get it running again or if it becomes a static display. Ampex 200 Vintage Tube Reel to Reel Tape Deck Mic Preamp 200A Langevin A Triad | eBay Corey? Any chance of a "Ampex 200 story....." thread? You know you want to ;)

Probably a long shot, asking here, but anyone?

Ok, just a calibration question for you analog type home recording enthusiasts. The basic question is: Do you or Don't you? More detailed questions: Do you calibrate your tape machines at the intervals called for by the manufacturer? Do you have your test equipment calibrated, scopes...

I've been fiddle fussing with my studio for about two years now. That seems like a long time, but I can see how this stretches into multi-year efforts.. If I could share anything of value with anyone considering this is: RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH. I started with a Mackie 8-buss combo (a 32...

Ok all you analog horders.....Im looking for the little emblem that goes on the head cover of a Tascam 38. Ive gone all through this machine and it is as close to a mint copy as one is likely to find. BUT, the emblems quite often fall off of these, as has the one on mine. I would like to get...

I wonder (out loud) how many get their studio up and running only to tear it down and start again. I'd like to think that I put in my due diligence in researching what I wanted to accomplish and how to approach it in a systematic way. But, the best laid plans of mice and men...... I managed to...

Hey guys. Looking for some information that this group probably has some experience with. Background. Ive been building my modest studio while simultaneously building the live room which also doubles as the practice room so I can beat on drums all night long if I want without disturbing anyone...

I came up with one of these machines over the weekend. Why? Cause I have a condition that draws me towards analog tape machines. It is a serious condition (with no known cure) as I have no reason to want or need a consumer multitrack. But there it was on craigs list "doesnt work, dont know whats...

Pretty much says it all. I need several of these things. What do you have? I can repair broken ones.

Forgive my ignorance, I want to run my tuntable into a couple of channels of my mixer (Mackie 32/8/2). Should I be using a dedicated phono pre ahead of the board? Correct me as required, but the cartrige output is unbalanced, and the low level board input (mic) is balanced, problem? And levels?

First, I know not very much at all about noise gates, so any information offered, will be appreciated. I would like to experiment with this in recording drums. What I would like to know is what should I look for? I'd like an analog unit. I dont want to start yet another "discussion" of A vrs D...

Yeah I know that there is a forum for showing your studio creations, but Im here mostly for the analog only forum, so I decided to share my pics with the regulars of said forum. If a mod decides to move this thread, so be it.Forgive the pics, they are phone pics. The lighting hasnt been...

Needs to be complete with P/S and interconnect cable. Also needs to be euiped with meter bridge. Thanks, Mark

Which of those is the "more" standard these days to submit master tapes on? I ask because my 1/4" otari has developed transport control card problems. I need an extender board but they are going for more than I paid for the machine. I have an opportunity to pick up a very nice Sony jh 1/2"...

I'm adding a pair of loudness meters to my set up. My question is where to tie them in. My inclination is to tee them in at the two track mastering machine's input. But then I got to wondering if they should get tee'd to the two track machine's output. I guess its the same if the tape machine is...
