Hey everyone I just bought a Tascam 688. It would ffwd and rewind but not play. I replaced the capstan belt and the pinch roller. Now it will play but the heads wont disengage completely when I press stop, so it eats my tape. The machine is still broken apart and I am trying to figure out...

So ive been looking for a Jupiter 8 for a while now. I decided to check out the harmony central classified ads and saw a quite a few posts from 2006/2007 of people selling their JP8's for $600 to $900.......... Where was I?!?! Were these scams or something? If youve seen the current going...

Hey today I came across a great deal on some new, old stock Quantegy tape from a business in Anaheim, CA. It is still in its original package, shrink wrap, etc and they are trying to get rid of it. I was able to get 12 individual boxes of 1/4" Quantegy 407 for $24 ($2 a piece) :eek...

Hi, I have another question for you guys. I bought some tape for my machine, some RMGI LPR35 for my Fostex R8 to be exact. I am wondering how often I need to clean the tape path? During recording, after about every 20 minutes, the highs seem to disappear and I start hearing drop outs. When I...

Im very new to the world of analog recording. Just picked up a machine that uses 7" reels of Quantegy 457 tape or similar. I want to order some RMGI LPR35 (457 equivalent) and would like to get the 3600' pancake so I can put it onto my own reels. Also the price is slightly cheaper than the...

I have a Yamaha EX5 I have been looking to get rid of (I have a classified ad on this board and craigslist right now) I am considering posting it on ebay but am really hesitant about dealing with shipping and dont want to sell someone a damaged board. It is a Yamaha EX5, 76 key, must weigh 50...

I am selling my Yamaha EX5 synth and was going to post it on eBay but thought id try here first. This is a very powerful synth which I have never had the chance to properly explore since I am mostly a guitarist. It is in perfect condition with no cosmetic or internal issues. The ram was maxed...

Hey does anyone know where I can get some drum samples that sound like theyre played on older kits? Im working on a song that is a lot like ELO in the style and am looking for some older sounding samples to use. Recording real drums isnt an option for me, and this whole song kind of revolves...

Recording is still very much a hobby for me. I try to learn what I can and have fun doing it. I dont have a band or anything, it is just me doing everything myself and trying to learn as much as I can in the process. Lately ive learned the joys of reamping :p like when im recording drums and...

Ive been trying to learn how to tune drums correctly. Ive watched youtube videos about it, I read just about all of the Drum tuning bible, ive read multiple posts on this and other forums, etc I recently replaced all my heads (the previous owner didnt replace the batter heads for 3 or 4 years...

Ive searched this forum like crazy the past few days looking for info (well, and other forums too) I got a drumset given to me as a gift (an old Pearl BLX Birch kit from the 80s) The heads on it are very old (probably at least 2 years old, and id be surprised if the resonant heads have even...

Im posting this in the newbie section because theres still a lot of things im unclear on... One of the things that makes pro tools so great is that a lot of the processing is handled on the actual pro tools hardware and PCI cards so no stress is put on the PC, right? So then with something like...

I have a Tascam MFP01 cassette 4 track that was given to me as a gift a few years ago. I never asked for it and it really wasnt something I could return. Unfortunately ive never been able to find a use for it (though ive tried and tried) and these things tend to have a non-existent used value...

Oh no!! Not another one of these threads :D Ive searched and searched his forum, the Gearslutz forum, TapeOp forum, etc and basically read all the posts I possibly could about both of these units. Both of them have similar specs - ADAT expandability, software DSP mixer, etc. The main...

I have a chance to get an old 1980s biamp 1624 mixer for $80. It is a 16 input, 16 direct output, 4 sub master mixer. I looked up posts here on this brand and people say theyre built nice and that Biamp made nice mixers until Mackie came into the picture I need an inexpensive mixer to give me...

It was included in one of the boxes when I bought my Oktava MC012s a year ago. I kind of forgot about it and assumed it was for the "Russian" oktavas. Since its been sitting unused for the past year I thought id try selling it in the classifieds, then someone informed me that it doesnt even...

Omni Capsule For sale! EDIT - No longer for sale til I can get my facts straight Another user has pointed out that this is not in fact an Oktava capsule. I guess I just assumed since it was included in the case.. Also, apparently I got some negative rep for trying to sell this, the user...

I read this article about drum recording - im trying to learn as much as I can about recording drums in general. http://www.eqmag.com/story.asp?storyCode=15638 This article says that you should reverse the phase on all the mics, except the kick.. Heres the quote if you dont feel like reading...

Delta 1010 for sell or trade I have a Delta 1010 (Delta 1010 Rack, NOT the Delta 1010lt) I purchased it a little over a year ago. Everything works fine. A month or two ago I had some trouble with it where it wouldnt power on completely and I was getting only a faint signal. I sent it in for...

Is there anything wrong with connecting 2 or more XLR mic cables together to create one long cable? Im thinking of getting the 10 pack of 25' cables from GLS audio. They equal the same price (or less) of what it costs me to make my own, and they seem to have gotten good reviews on this board...
