Well, I didn't really want to do this but it's up for sale. I love it but I'm really all digital in my studio now and financial constraints due to an injury earlier in the year and, well, you know... In any case, the ads here: 8 Track Analog Recording Setup Thought I'd give some of you here...

Hey all, I'm in the Vancouver, B.C. area. I've got a TSR-8 in EXTREMELY good condition. Very little wear on heads, motors good. I've got about 6 reels of tape, 2 are a little sticky but the other 4 seem pretty good. I also have 2 8 ch. snakes and an SMPro audio PM-8 mixer to go with it...

So I've been resurrecting my TSR-8 love here in my studio. Always played a little with it but not like when I first got it a couple of years ago and it's sat idle mostly due to my "real" job being very busy the last year and a half. When I bought it it came with about 6 reels of quantegy 456...

I've got my TSR-8 snaked out to a balanced patchbay. RCA to 1/4" snake. It's been like that for a while and I haven't noticed any issues, sounds great I just watch levels but haven't had any problems. I guess my question is: Is this ok, though? I know there's the potential for induced noise...

So I'm bouncing some stems down to my TSR-8 this weekend and all was good. Recorded well and played back great through my summing mixer and into Sonar (I like to go to tape and master of the TSR-8 sometimes). After a while the recordings sounded bad, like the low end was ok but it lost a lot...

I'm seeing quite a few on E-bay and my resistance is wearing down...are these worth it? Sound good? Pre's? I have good pre's now so it's not so much a concern but just the routeability and sound mainly. I've got a TSR-8 for the analog component of my analog/digital studio. These ones...

So this morning I get the cover off my TSR-8 to put on the new capstan belt I just got. Figured I'd Demag it too while I had it apart so I did. But when I got the cover off I noticed a sticker up top on a square thing between the reel motors that says: Service Date 1/23/2004 Replace cap&both...

I'm curious since in my reading about sticky shed I've come across a few articles etc. that say of all the affected tape, GP9 is supposed to not have the problem. My issue: My TSR-8 came with about 6 reels of tape. 4 had been used 1-2 times and 2 had only a couple of recording passes at the...

I think my TSR-8's capstan belt is gone. I went to record some guitar today and when I pressed record-nuthin'. It will fast forward and rewind ok and when the tape is strung up it just whirrs and the capstan doesn't spin anymore on its own so I'm pretty sure the belts off/broke. I'm about to...

I promise...for now... Ok, I got my demagger and demagged the heads on my TSR-8 that I just got. Noticeable difference in the high end clarity and sparkle so it obviously wasn't done in a while. No biggie. Cleaned heads again, and after quite a bit of use recently by me, almost no residue...

Anyone ever tried to adjust the zenith/tilt on their decks? I've got the Tascam TSR-8. The manual shows two screws at the rear base of the head for azimuth and one larger one for head contact. Is this the zenith adjustment or wrap adjustment. I'm not sure what head contact refers to. The...

Hey all, I tried to set up an oscilloscope to test the azimuth on my rec/repro head on my Tascam TSR-8. I'm a little confused though. I was using a Fluke digital scopemeter. My manual says to hook up to 2 channel outputs (2&7). Fine. I'm not sure about the connection. The manual diagram...

So I downloaded some test tones from analogrules.com. They had a good small set of 30 sec tones of 1k, 10k, 15k, 100hz, and 50hz in one wav file I loaded into Sonar. I set the levels so that it would read 0dbvu on my TSR-8 (led's). Now on my system I had to set the output on Sonar at...

Another question regarding the Tascam TSR-8 I just got. Been playing around with it lots and have basically been loving it. The sound of recorded material is almost exactly the source, and I haven't demagnetized it yet as my Han-D-Mag's not here yet. One question, I've noticed after I've...

This is a continuation from this thread: https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=257332 I thought I'd start a new thread as I'm reporting on the unit and there are issues. Much to my chagrin and inline with the warnings from Cjacek, I discovered the unit wasn't paletted though I...

Hi, I've recently upgraded my vox/bass input chain to an MPA Gold/PRO VLA and my guitars are through my Boss GT-8. Problem now is that my mixer into my M-audio Audiophile 24/96 is a Berry UB1202. It was fine (cheap) to start with but now I'd like to upgrade, probably to a mixer or interface...

HOW much better would Soundcraft pre's sound from my Behringer UB1202's. I know, I know obviously better but would it be NIGHT AND DAY and take my already OK vocal and guitar sounds to the next level? IS it a completely different sound or a clarity thing? Just curious as I got a line on a...
