    checkout procedure routine? (M512)

    This is a big question I know but if anyone feels like adding to what I'm planning I'd be partially eternally gratefull. * check that each input can be monitored by the buss (LINE-INS failed 5 of 8) * check other monitoring paths (not done yet but aux,2tra & b seems ok) * record each...

    Tascam M512 monitor/buss question

    Hi all, This mixer had a problem I needed to fix... spilled stuff froze the select swithes on two channels.... I took out the channel strips and got them working. The first thing I'm trying to get straight now is a) if everything else works ok and b) how the line ins and tape ins relate to...

    my tascam, the story continues

    hey ya'll, hmmm well it seems like my channel strips are ok on my M512 because I can send mic or line in through them all and monitor off aux 1,2,3 or 4 but if I just use the MON mode switch alone i have no monitor signal on 2,6,7 or 8. So like that means it's something in the monitoring...

    I give up. Somebody sell me a 1604 VLZ.

    So I finally had time and wellness and nice weather and got my new Tascam M512 wired into the patch bay and check the line ins on channel 5-12 and three of them are dead. I'm afraid to check the rest of the board for fear of finding what else is broken. \WHINEY MODE ON ALL I WANT TO DO IS...

    Dead channel on Tascam 38

    What is a Tascam 133?

    I mean, can one be used as a mixdown deck? I saw one that was called excellent condition on ebay and the auction ended with no bids and no reserve at $50. It looks like athree track machine which I guess would make sense for people who were syncing cassette decks to betacams in the 80s or...

    whee. got my M512

    wow I am glad I work someplace where there are several large strong guys. That thing is heavy! It's also in beautiful physical condition... not even a scratch on the genuine simulated wood particle board sides or a tear in the fake leather. All the little access jumpers are there and all the...

    tape and drum modules

    ok, do ya'll print your sequenced drums to tape before final mixdown? I was mixing down directly to my PC tracks from my MPC-60 and Roland R8M modules but this morning I put them onto two tracks of my Tascam 238 and it seemed like they sounded better. I don't record onto the 238 with high levels...

    Can we talk about my Tascam M512 now?

    I can't stand the waiting so I'll just bug everyone with annoying questions. That'll work. Does it have phantom power? Does it have four AUX sends? What's an AUX send? (kidding!) Are the preamps nice? How much gain do they have? (I have a low output ribbon I'd like to use more) Is it real...

    will Tascam 38 bias for BSAF900?

    I have a pile of 456 that is unuable because it sheds too bad and three reels of bsaf 900 higher output tape... will the 38 bias for it? I just want to see if the 38 still works ok and can't afford new tape right now. I'm not totally competant biasing the 38 but I have a db meter and a signal...
