    Korg D12 - gotta be missing something...

    I am trying to mixdown my tracks into 2 tracks, but I DO NOT want to have to mix to track 1 and 2. I read the manual but it says that I have to mixdown to track 1 and 2. Then when you goto burn the song to my external SCSI CD, it burns whatever is on track 1 and 2. The problem with this is...

    How do I get a smooth rounded bass?

    And a silky high end? Can this be accomplished by adjusting the EQ pots or bias pot? Assuming I have to use the mics I have as well as the pre-amp, what adjustments can be made to a reel to reel to smooth bass end, almost like adding a lot more warmth. I don't want the edgy bass you get with...

    Anyone knowledgeable on calibrating EQ levels?

    My question is in reference to the calibration of the tape machine. I have pots I can turn to increase or decrease EQ for hi and low speeds. My question, does this only affect what teh VU meter shows or does this affect the actual sound to tape level of a particular frequency? Example: If I...

    An ode for analogers

    "I'm not a great fan of digital equipment.... nah, let's be honest... I HATE DIGITAL!!:mad: I like the analog sound. Real sound. Yes... I stopped fixing DATs (no not ADATs or DA88s), but I gotta say that for overall sound quality I love the warmth and fatness that analog gives. I mean...

    Dial settings on Fostex circuit boards.

    Fostex E-2 not erasing. OK I figurd out why it wasn't recording, wrong type of XLR cable so I got the right ones. Now I can't seem to erase. It came with an Ampex 499 tape which had some prerecorded music on it. I can record overtop of it, overdub so to speak, but isn't it supposed to be...

    Can a tape be set to safe mode?

    I have an Ampex 499 Grand Master tape with some music on it. I cannot record over it on my Fostex E-2. Is there some kind of safety mechanism built into tape that can keep it from being recorded over?

    Another stupid question about master recorders.

    My definition of master recorder: stand alone DAT machine, DTRS, CD recorder, Hard disk recorder. I've never used any of the above before, so this will sound dumb. Can I record a stereo track to the master recorder, and then record another stereo track while listening to the first stereo...

    Is overdubbing possible on mixdown recorders?

    Forgive my completely stupid question, I'm sure I know the answer but just need some verification. I am a "former" portable multitracker user where everything you need is in one place, mixer, recorder, cd burner, overdubbing, etc.. Now I am spreading out and wanting better quality with my...

    Can I record to a stand alone CD recorder on the fly?

    As I'm playing my guitar, can I send the realtime signal through the preamp/mixer and then have it recording onto a CD as I am playing? I would assume that there would need to be some kind of buffer as in RAM memory or a harddrive as in the Alesis Masterlink. DO most mainstream CD recorders...

    Proper chain for signal?

    Where should a mixer go in the chain when I have a reel to reel tape machine doing the recording? Before of after mixdown to the harddisk recorder? Like this: 1) acoustic guitar > mic > preamp > mixer > 2-track analog tape > harddisk/CD/etc or: 2) guitar > mic > preamp > 2-track analog...

    I have Fostex E-2 2 track, mic preamp, couple of mics...

    Would either of these setups work? Fostex E2 reel to reel > analog mixer (Mackie, etc..) > CD recorder or Compact FLash recorder (anything I could take to my computer for recording to CD) With the above equipment would I be able to do this: analog mixer > CD recorder or harddisk recorder...

    Question on digital to analog to digital

    Please let me know what I am doing here, as far as am I accomplishing my task of warming up my digital mix by going to tape. Tascam 788 mixed to harddrive > 2-track Tascam 22-2 analog tape > Tascam 788 harddrive > record to CD Is this the same result if I had taped the recording direct to the...
