Brad! Thanks so much! I’ll take a look at it. Best, Ray

Hey All, Been awhile. So I’ve been out of the recording game for a good bit. Went from recording on multiple hand held cassette recorders to boom boxes, vcrs, upgrading to cassette 4-track to 1/2” tape to 1” tape before the kids and career came along. I sold everything but my trusty Marantz...

Hi, I know this is an old thread, but I just dug out my old PMD740 and am glad to take pics if you still need help. -Ray

well shitfire. my deepest apologies, dudes.

how much is shipping from hell to birmingham? oh, nevermind--free! what is the brand, sizes of the drums, condition, etc? --doris

AMEN! Its amazing how little music I've managed to record since I discovered the soldering iron.

you have sooooo many choices. try the search function here and at gearslutz. also, at gearslutz do a search for "with a cheapness". there are some good recommendations in those threads. your choices also depend on your budget, obviously.

ok, i see what you are saying. i think somehow we are both arguing the same point here :). i could see how my poor wording made it sound like i thought standard xlr cables were only for pin2 stuff--no more late night or early morning posts for me. I just meant that if his stuff was all pin2...

good point. i could have worded that better. i meant that standard xlr cables are configured for interfacing "pin 2 hot" pieces of gear, thus no modification to the cable is required if your stuff is pin 2 hot. but i would argue that cables can maintain or change which pin is hot. it won't...

you've got it backwards, i think. the configuration of most xlr cables requires no mods for pin2 hot to pin2 hot (or pin3 hot to pin3 hot) interfacing. some equipment (like your otari mx5050) is wired pin 3 hot. most modern gear is pin2 hot. so if you wanted to mod a cable for interfacing...

help hi. some of the older (2-track?) mx5050's could take a mic level signal. but usually with this type of machine you need a line level signal such as the signal from a mic pre. the signal straight from a mic is too weak. if nothing else you can connect the line out (NOT speaker out) from...

Here is my understanding. I think that even back when the MX5050 was made it was still kind of an oddball thing to wire with pin 3 hot. It's just that at some point they made wiring pin 2 hot the standard. Most were doing it anyway. So most gear, even pre '93, will be pin 2 hot. if you...

hey. I agree with Daniel. there are scores and scores of threads here and on other forums on the mx5050 you have, on all the topics you could ever need in regards to maintenance, troubleshooting, and setup. there are also scores of PEOPLE using these. AND...you can still get parts. not so...

thepogue is A-OK I sold some mic cables to the pogue and the transaction went super-duperly. he sent me a quick paypal and communicated well throughout the process. Recommended! --doris

that's awesome!

Monster cables sold. thanks!!!

Hey Matt. The monster cables are 100 series. just send me a pm with your location, etc when you decide. thanks! --doris

I think you are making a good decision to go with 1/2" 8. You can definitely do some cool stuff with 1/4" 8 (I am still amazed at what my friend can do with his 388), but I think you will have an easier time with 1/2". May I add to the list the Tascam 48 and 58 and the otari mx5050. the...

Oh, most definitely! But its got some neat extra features, too, like separate L and R master faders, individual track punch in buttons, what looks like direct outs, and Dolby C! no channel faders, though. --doris
