I have a ribbon mic that i like the sound of, but i use it with one of the old Joe Meek vc3s or whatever. The small one. Anyways it doesnt sound bad, but therei s some noise from cranking it to get the ribbon up to correct gain amount. Are the new OneQs cleaner when you crank them? Would i see...

Does anyone know how to get Joe Meeks kick sounds? I read that he used a reslo on the bass drum, and that it was a special kind of reslo, but i think that it was a little more than just that. Both Joe Meeks snare and bass drum sounds are very different sounding than any others from his era. And...

I want to know something. If you had an old Ampex recorder, some old 50s tube compressors, a few akg d19s and maybe a um57, and you recorded some people playing instruments, would it sound like a recording made in the 50s/60s? It seems like after all that purist approach to equipment that it...

Ive been looking at getting an old tube compressor like an Altec or a Gates Sta-Level. Does anyone have any experience using one of these two that you can give me info on? Im trying to get sort of a Joe Meek style bass and drum sound.

1. Why arent there any TB1s for sale anywhere? 2. Why are the mics on the SP website completely different looking than the ones you see for sale? (red and black logo)

One of the meter lights is out in my 388. How do i go about fixing it? Does the part have to be ordered from tascam? Thanks for any help.

I just got a 388 and i am looking to buy some tape for it. But of course i need the 7 inch reels with the little hole in the middle. Which tape type is this and where can i get it. I thought i could just cruise to musicians friend but all their Quantegy products show the same picture so i cant...

I recently bought a Tascam 388 and it might not even work. I havent picked it up yet so i dont know. But does anyone know how much replacement parts from Tascam cost? Like motors or heads or anything else that usually breaks on these when something does actually break. I am fairly certain that...

I havent touched my reel to reel in weeks and weeks. I havent recorded anything or listened to my previous recordings. I havent been on ebay. I havent been fighting with people on recording forums over what equipment is better than other equipment. I dont care about how many mics i have anymore...

Arent there supposed to be some new Meek products in a new vein coming soon? Does anyone know how much longer? Why is life 99 percent waiting?

Can someone who has used both units please explain any differences in features or sound quality differences between these two? Id appreciate any help. I am going to use either one for tape tricks, quick song demos, and for mastering off of a Tascam 38. Thanks again.

I have been recording some tunes on a Tascam 38 with an m30 mixer. The recordings are coming along ok and im about to master them. I was wondering if i should either master direct to cd or to a two track reel then to cd. I know that the extra step will change the sound a little, but i still want...

I didnt know exactly what forum to post this in, but i figured the people here might know more than most about older equipment. I have an old reed based Wurlitzer organ and there are no conventional ins or outs on it. There are some "screw" looking things that seem to be ins and outs or some...

If anyone cares, here are two independently made albums recorded on 8 track "semi pro" recorders by the artists themselves that i think are great musically and production wise "How I Learned to Write Backwards"- by the Aislers Set-Otari 50/50 8 track in a small room, very limited mics, pres...

Can anyone post any pics of the Tascam 1" 4 tracks? Its harder than shit to find them for sale or even find pictures of them. I saw one a long time ago on ebay, and I really wanted it but so did everybody else.

I bought a shiny box 46 ribbon mic and it arrived today. I havent gotten home to test its sound yet, but when i do i will post. I will say that the guy sends the mics out as fast as shit even if you get the slowest delivery option. It was very well packaged. It is a heavy, expensive looking mic...
