Now the question is, should I simply ship it off to be re-tensioned, and prettied up? Or re-cable it, and run with it? Pretty little deco 77b1 (I'm assuming it's a "1" - how would I tell?) Oh, and look - some other vintage goodies tagged along ;)

I basically 'hate' writing post such as this, but also very much trust the advice given (albeit with a grain of salt). So, here goes. Currently using an E-MU 1616m, "cutting my teeth" into the DAW world (from my old R2R stuff)... vocal mic choices currently used: AT4047 - Reslo Ribbon, (and...

I've had this old uncommon mic in the closit for years - finally created a sound bite. TurnertestHollyNoc.mp3"]TurnertestHollyNoc.mp3[/URL] No eq, comp, or anything (and this was shortly after I rolled out of bed this morning - and with out any back-up, etc, so forgive) I was so happy with...

So, in re-setting my studio (from analog to digital) I'm needing (4) 20' balanced cable runs for the monitors, and same (although shorter would work) for my outboard reverb. Eyeballing a Canare snake: http://www.canare.com/ProductItemDisplay.aspx?productItemID=60 I can get one of these in 8...

One of the front output 1/4" jacks has finally (after 20+ years) failed on one of my Ibanez AD202 delays. These are the type that have a black plastic 'shank', if you will, that insulate both signals from the metal front panel. I remember these same type on some of my vintage Altec gear - and...

I cleaned up the budget Otari MX5050BQII I drug home, and set about to run a basic series of test. Didn't take me long to encounter a problem. Play works - stop works - back to play - record seems to work, but... If I push FF, it just stays running at high speed, and the only way I can figure...

Messing with a 1/4" 4-track Otari I drug home a while back from the local junk shop. It's in visually great shape - on the rolling stand - I think I gave 10 or 20 bucks for it... All the meters light, and an old jazz tape that was on it plays through my headphones. Transport: basic quick check...

Looking for the best sound and solid drivers. I'll be mixing down to the computer from tape - then adding compression/mastering before burning to disk.

I'm looking for recommendations on a 2 channel interface: Balanced line in / Balanced line out decent converters / solid reliable drivers Something from a few years back which will run on my P4 2.4 Suggestions? Current setup: basics Tascam 388 - recently tuned, head re-lapped, etc Event...

I have a question about a television advertising jingle I'm working on. It is a 30 second spot, with the "jingle" sung on the last 10 seconds. I'm recording live to tape - mixing to stand-alone burner - final touches to the stereo mix can be made in Reaper. Question: Should I record all the...

I'm looking for a digital recorder to bring along to live performances. Would need atleast 4 ins, 4 outs (so I can mix back home in the studio) - pref 24 bit - be portable, lightweight, and tough enough to survive gigin'. Any ideas? Thanks, G :)

To follow up on a very crooked head. I returned the 388 to the Service Center today, and explained again the head was visually out of alignment, explaining the whacked response across the tracks. 2 hours later, I returned, and tried her out. Same scenario. So they called out the head tech...

Well, I'm taking the 388 back to the "Service Center" 'bout Tuesday. Kid I talked to on the phone says "sure you can wait - if the heads just out of line, won't take us long to align it! You could go for coffee, and we'd have it done when you get back! (seems they won't allow me in back for...

Well, I took the 388 in to a reputable repair outfit in Portland this fall for a tune-up, to the tune of $450. First was hopefully an alignment would fix a #1 fading away. Then a call for a head-re-lap. (ouch) - but, OK, if it'll fix the problem. Then a week later, a call that it needed a...

Running a 388 - currently doing jingles, demos, etc. All outboard (why I'm here :rolleyes: ) analog delays, Sony DPS-V55 verb, etc... I have quite a mixture of qualities of cabling. Some, notably some molded-end small-wire gray switchraft, which is noisy or wrong ohm wire for the job...

So, can it be done on a 388? Cjacek ?

Anybody tried with success bakeing cassettes to relieve SSS? Any pointers? Almost seems I'd have to remove one cover... G

Well, for getting things like my Reslo into the 388, I have great luck with the ole' RadioShlock 274-017C... 1/4" Female in - XLR Male out... till tonight - she bit it. So, nowadays, the dreaded HOSA makes one MIT129 for $16. Shure still makes one for double that. Is there any REAL...

Hi all. My Tascam 388 is missing one of the Orange top knobs from the eq section - just the upper knob (cut/boost), not the swing/lower part. If anybody has a 388 for parts, could I be lucky enough to get one? Thanks, Joe :)

Hey all, I brought home a sweet pair of Event ASP8's. I'm still running my trusty fresh-out-of-the-shop 388, and mixing to a Harman-Kardon CDR-20, consumer grade burner (24/96). The problem is, the CDR-20 is -10dbV consumer level outputs. I have it fed directly to the ASP8's. I have the...
