Can anyone recommend dust covers for mixers and other gear? I've checked out Custom Dust Covers for Pro Audio, Audio and A/V Equipment such as Keyboards, Synths, Mixers, Mixing Consoles, Studio Monitors, Speakers, Lighting Boards but if anyone can recommend other places or solutions, that would...

I am looking for a new analog mixer for my hybrid studio. I need to downsize. I want to replace my Tascam M-2600 24-channel 8 bus analog mixer. Its exhibiting some intermittent issues and its just a monster. My workflow and equipment: I setup a project in my DAW (Logic Pro X) - sketch...

I have a Tascam 42 and Tascam 38. I am looking to get a 48 soon. I have the standard RC-71 remote for these machines that include the basic functionality. The difference is that 38 has a latching Return to Zero button, so you hit rewind on the remote and it will stop near the 0000 mark. On...

I know some of you have a hybrid setup also. I have a Tascam 38, Tascam M2600, Tascam FW1884, Logic Pro, synced with JL Cooper PPS-1, Tascam 42. I mostly track to tape. When I am done tracking, I bring the tracks as 24bit into the DAW for any processing and automation mixing. (Yes, I could...

I just picked up a Teac A-3300SX 4-track deck in very good condition. However, I still want to do a full calibration on the deck. Couple of questions: I have an MRL tape I use for my Tascam 42. That MRL tape is a 250nWb/m, 15IPS tape. Would the Teac A-3300SX, which is only a 7.5IPS...

I have a Tascam FW 1884 which is an A/D interface, control surface, and mixer that I use for connecting my analog gear to my DAW. I am posting this here because you guys are all-knowing about repairing mixers and inputs and such. It looks like I may have fried my inputs 1 and 2 on the mixer...

I am in the process of mastering some digital tracks for a band. The tracks are stereo. They have a good solid mix. My plan was to finish the mastering digitally in Logic Pro, send that output to tape and bring it back into the DAW. I went through the process adding any necessary...

I was performing a test to see which tape, Scotch 206 or RMGI SM911, that I want to use to do a final mix to. I used a stereo mix from my DAW into my Tascam 42. The 42 is calibrated for RMGI SM911. First, I set all the levels, pushing about +1 or +2 VU and I recorded the mix onto RMGI SM911...

I am trying to get more of a technical understanding of tape and its properties. I thought I'd post some questions to our resident Tape Professors here as most of the information I am looking for is pretty much scattered around the net and not easily decipherable, at least not by me. I read...

I recently picked up some Scotch 206 (thanks lonewhitefly) and have some RMGI SM911 for use with my Tascam 42 which is calibrated for the SM911. I am finally getting ready to mix and master a couple of songs I recently tracked to my 38 and DAW. I tracked 8 tracks to the 38 using RMGI SM911 and...

I was just adding a bass track to a song on track 3 of my 38. I used some very light compression and went direct from my M2600 board to the 38. Recording levels were good, extending occasionally into +1 or +2 VU. Using RMGI SM911 tape. While monitoring from the sync head during recording...

I have a very old early 70's low end consumer 1/4" 7" reel to reel consumer deck I've kept over the years that I am going to clean up and restore. It works ok and I've played some old tapes that I recorded in the late 70's. It looks like it may need some belts, pinch roller cleaner, and...

Well its taken over a year to complete, but I've finally finished my home office and project studio. Thanks to many of the people on this forum, I've got my analog gear back out and running pretty smoothly and ready to go. It's sound really nice. I've attached some pics of the new project...

So as I just finished installing and setting up all of my equipment for my studio space, I wanted to get a sense of levels across the different gear and considering some if it is daw, I wanted to match output to my -10 equipment and meters. At least get it close. So I put a 1khz tone on the...

So I'm finally up and running (will post pics later of my new project studio), at least I thought so.... I started doing my first set of analog tracks in many years and went to punch in a part on two tracks (I have a remote footswtich). Now its been awhile since I used to do this on the 38...

So I've been looking to purchase a 2 track reel deck for mixdown from DAW and from my Tascam 38. I was originally looking at purchasing a Tascam 32 because I am familiar with the 38 and those machines. Because I track both to DAW and tape, I'm thinking I will be using more analog for mixdown...

For head replacement, I understand that when a gap starts showing up, that its definitely time to replace them. I've included two images. The first image is from my almost working 38, the one I am in the middle of aligning and calibrating. The second image is from a very cheap 38 I picked up...

I know there are recording techniques and mixing forums here, and I use them often, but my interest here is what are some of your tips and tricks as it relates to analog recording. It seems to me, getting back into analog after many years away, that there are certainly different things one does...

Right now I track to Logic Pro and my tascam 38 and mixes are done in Logic. I am thinking about doing my final mix to go to two track analog reel to reel instead. First, I don't yet have a two track machine. Is it worth searching for a tascam 32? I see them on ebay and they are quite pricey...

I know some of this is posted in other threads, but I have yet another option to discuss. The favorite cheapest option for sync'ing a deck and DAW seems to be striping a track with SMPTE (through a device like the JL Cooper) and making the deck the master and the DAW slave. There are more...
