    Is buying an Apogee Trak 2 for its preamps for $700 worth it?

    Hello all, I am looking to add a two-channel mic preamp to my collection of equipment. I happened across an Apogee Trak 2 (probably over ten years old) for about $700. I have seen nothing but glowing reports about its preamps and its A-D/D-A converters. At the same time, it's an old dog and...

    Tascam DL-2000 comp worth having? How about other Tascam units?

    I sometimes come across older (70's is my guess) Tascam rack units on local auctions. There's a Tascam DL-2000 stereo compressor on sale right now. Is anyone familiar with this unit? Is it worth getting if it goes cheap? What better known maker's equipment would you compare it to? Any...

    Why the old digital units in some studios?

    If you check out the webpages of more than a few respected professional studios that offer digital recording (even though they may also provide analog) you'll often see that the studios' equipment lists include rather old but respected 16-bit/44.1 mHz digital effects units like the R-7, Rev-7...

It works fine and its reverb sounds far better than any of the plugins that came with Cubase SL2 or the Sonar LE plugins (bundled with my Edirol UA-101). I'd be...

    Stereo or mono/doubles for the dulcet tones of my fingerpicked D-18?

    I have learned a great deal from the Microphone Thread over the years. Enough to be dangerous. Enough to question my ears no matter what mic and placement I use. Enough to lose enough of my mind so that I can't make up my mind on anything. The foundation for my songs is my voice and, for the...

    Need schematic for Fostex E-16

    I'm trying to find a way to get my hands on a schematic for the Fostex E-16 1/2" 16 track recorder. If anyone can help me with this I'd appreciate it. By the way, I live in Japan, which may limit my options, but feel free to make any suggestions you might have. Thanks in advance.

    Roland MMP-2 Mic Pre Opinions?

    I've been thinking about picking up a used Roland MMP-2 mic modeling preamp. When they first came out I saw a good review in an online magazine, and the specs look good. On the other hand, after coming out with a lot of hoopla and at a hefty price here in Japan, Roland quit producing them in a...
