While I've only purchased CDs from artists whose music I was familiar with, I can comment on what's made me purchase vinyl records from unknown artists: a combination of the type of music, cover art and information about the music printed on the back of the album. Surely something provocative...

One would think they'd find it to their benefit to set up some way that's easy for people to make payments for any copies sold, rather than go through a difficult mess. Another words, if they had a web site somewhere that one could go to and just pay a fee based upon the number of copies sold...

While trying to put together some music for riding to (e.g.. musical freestyle for classical riding), I obtained quite a few MIDI files that I like, then, after putting together a sound font collection that I like, I created .wav files from them, edited the wav files to shorten them, then ran...

Having acquired an M-208 sans manual, can someone tell me anything about the EFF and EFF RET jacks? That is, are they balanced TRS, or just unbalanced TS? Why is there only one EFF and two EFF RETs? EFF into inputs of both effects boxes and the output of each into each EFF RET? If they're...

When calibrating a tape deck, such as a 34B, should the frequency response on all channels, and for both the sync and repro. heads, be nearly identical, well within 0.50dBV to 1.0dBV? Also, why is there nearly a 2dBV increase at 63Hz and about a 2dBV decrease on each head/track at 125Hz...

Thanks for the info... I didn't check that out yet, but did find something called "turbine oil" in the hardware store... it was the only light machine oil they had, everything else had various additives that I didn't want. The capstan motor and the capstan assembly above the flywheel are now...

34B and possibly bent reel motor shaft One might think that! ...it's taught me a lot about disassembing, calibrating, reassembling and repairing a 34B though... still more to learn... like calibrating for wow and flutter. Is a special wow & flutter test tape truly needed? Now, for more fun...

Greetings everyone! This afternoon, my 34B's capstan motor began making a squeaking sound. I was about to oil it, but seeing that a certain type of oil from Tascam is mentioned in the manual, but not seeing any other info. about the oil, I'm taking a guess and thinking that this is light...

It's cheaper to learn to calibrate a tape deck oneself... it's not all that difficult. One just needs an oscilloscope, a good accurate AC VTVM, an audio signal generator and a test tape. It gets easier each time. :-) It needs to be done as part of routine maintence, perhaps daily if the...
