Dumb question alert! :rolleyes: But I thought I should check before frying my gear with the wrong tips/leads. I’ve got a cheap Fostex MR8 digital multitracker im using for playing backing tracks live, I want to run a lead from the left stereo output that contains a mono mix of the backing to...

I have a couple of questions if you could help answer them: 1) How long do individual songs take to load up from the flashcard (on the MKII), or are they read directly from it? I'm hoping to use the MR8 live and was wandering if there would be much of a wait between songs? 2) On the earlier MK...

I'm thinking of getting a Fostex MR-8 to play-back backing tracks with my live band but need to ask a few questions first: 1) What is the maximum CF card these take, 2GB? 2) We want to use approx 4 tracks per song during playback (one for drum machines, one for synths, one for voices, one for...

Hi, I'm trying to achieve this set-up http://www.submodern.com/slowburn/?p=608 and require a 1/4" jack to 1/8" jack cable. "...Hook the Kenton AUX 1 (CLOCK) to the CR-78 EXT CLOCK with a 1/8″ to 1/4″ patch cable." Do they need to be mono or stereo ends? And can i achieve the same result...

Hi, I've recently purchased a Roland CR-78 drum machine and would like to run it through a dedicated delay unit. Can anyone reccommend a budget delay unit (new or old) that accepts a signal from the CR-78's Trigger Out so i can sync the delay time to the drum machines tempo? Thanks, YDR

Im new to mixing desks and looking at buying the Tapco 100 for a mini home project studio and was hoping to use my collection of vintage guitar pedals as aux sends. I can do this on my friends mixer (patching from aux send through the pedal back into aux return) but i noticed the Tapco 100 only...

Can anyone reccommend a good free software drum sampler / sequencer that i can upload my own sounds into? will need it to run via Logic 5 on a Mac 0SX. Something along the lines of NI's Battery would be great.

Can any vintage gear enthusiasts help me identify a drum machine from the early/mid 70's? I'm looking to re-create that 'brash' analogue percussion machine sound that bands like Suicide, Harmonia, Kraftwerk and Brian Eno used. I've had various suggestions (Bently Rhythm Ace, Korg Minipops...

My band are heading into the studio in a couple of weeks and are looking to track live using both 2" tape and pro-tools. Like many people we much prefer the transients and warmth of analogue recording (for drums, bass and acoustic guitars especially) but as our stuff relies on heavy editing of...

Heading into the studio with my band in a couple of weeks and want to make use of their Otari MTR 90 MK2 tape machine for drums and bass tracking. The studio offers new reels of 2 Ampex 499 for £140. I see studiospares.com does new reels of RMGI SM911 2 inch tape for £98. Will the RMGI work...

Can anyone offer me some help working an Akai 4000DS 1/4" reel to reel... The right mic input doesn't record when tracks 1-4 or 3-2 are selected but works fine when Stereo is selected, the left mic input records fine (apart from an excessive amount of hiss) on all tracks. Is this normal? I can...

Can anyone explain the concept behind the 'Sound on Sound' function that Akai built into their reel-to-reel tape machines? I'm using an Akai 4000DS and would like to use it as a primitive multi-track tape recorder. According to the user-manual of a similar model, the 'Sound on Sound' function...

And not in a good way... My M-Audio Firewire 410 has some serious earthing issues i think. The metal casing is basically electrocuting me when plugged into my Powerbook via firewire, its not the full on 240volts thankfully but just minor shocks if i touch the casing or anything metal attached...

Does anyone know of an easy (and safe!) way of temporarily disabling the erase head on a reel to reel? I want to create a basic tape echo set-up for building layers on a loop. i remember an old friend putting masking tape over the erase head to 'mute' it but for obvious reasons i don't want to...

Does anyone have a pdf of this they could send me (i need the user manual not the service manual)? Thanks, YDR

Following on from a previous thread... i'm also buying new 1/4" tape but the website recommended doesn't state what width the tape is, any of the following suitable? http://www.canford.co.uk/commerce/categorybrowse.aspx?TreePosId=2008601 YDR
