A question for anyone who actually owns or has experience with a TSR-8: Is it normal for there to be a short delay when punching in where signal is just erased for a moment without anything being recorded? This makes sense if the erase and record heads kick in at the same time, since the tape...

I recently moved to Chicago to go to school at the Art Institute, and unfortunately this meant leaving Austin Stereo behind. (by the way, anyone near Austin, TX should know that Austin Stereo is home to two extremely competent and knowledgeable technicians. They managed to completely rebuild my...

Check out this video of Annasophia Robb singing into the top of a side-address mic :p https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Kmn5OFTJ4A This was on the TV repeatedly where I work today (blockbuster) and it made my day. Cheers, Theo

So I'm almost finished recording my first album, and am looking for a recorder to mix down to... It looks like I have two options: 1) get a 1/2" 2-track headstack for my tascam 38 2) get a 1/4" 2-track tape recorder The second option would be about 100 dollars cheaper at current prices. Does...

I can't for the life of me figure out how to get them off! even after unscrewing the center screw and washer and removing the front cover, I can't find any other screws. Is it just permenantly attatched with some sort of adhesive? Sorry if this has been brought up before, but I've searched it...

As of four days ago, my tascam 38 was in the shop for an unknown length of time, and I had an album to finish within the month. I had decided not to buy any more tape decks from ebay after a couple of complete disasters, but I saw a really legitimate looking TSR-8 with a new reel of tape and...

I feel like shooting myself. I record on a tascam 38, and when it works well it's wonderful, but it feels like I get maybe two weeks or a month of good recording time before something goes wrong and it's in the shop for another month or two. Is this just the price one has to pay for recording...

I'm thinking of buying a fender hot rod over ebay, but I'm really concerned about it getting damaged along the way. How should I instruct the seller to pack/ship it? thanks, theo

Four channel DBX noise reduction unit in perfect working and good cosmetic condition. Will accept any reasonable offer by PM. cheers theo

I am currently working on building an electric (not electronic) drum set. The basic idea is to stretch membranes of various types (drum heads, metal sheets, etc.) in front of microphones, which are then routed thru a mixer at very high gain in order to incur distortion and then through a...

I'm sending my heads off to JRF to be relapped since wear finally made tracks 7 and 8 unusable. I've taken off the front panel and unscrewed the head assembly, but it's attatched to a bundle of cables that goes deeper into the machine. I have no idea how to disattatch it- am I going to have to...

Looking for a TSR-8 multitrack in good condition. if someone has an MTS1000 or ES-50/ ES-51 sync box and wants to sell them together that would be awesome. thanks

I am looking for an MTS1000 or ES-50/ ES-51 to sync a tascam 38 and tsr-8. I think these are the only sync boxes that will work with the tsr-8 but if someone has something else that will work that I don't know about that would be cool too. Thanks

When I bounce tracks on my tascam 38, if the destination track is directly adjacent to any of the source tracks I can barely turn it up past -20 or so or i'll get this strange high-pitched feedback like sound that suddenly oveloads all the VU meters. Same thing happens if it's two tracks away as...

I'm looking into buying a 1/4 inch half-track to mix down to, and as far as i can tell from searches here and research all over the tascam 32 seems to be the best for the price (usually ~$150-200 on ebay). Before I commit to buying one of these though, i was wondering if there was anything in...

I'm about to buy a tascam 38 from bigsnake, and though I don't yet have the recorder over the last week I've been plotting out the tracks I want to record on it (in what order I'll record the tracks, when I will bounce, etc- some of the songs have a lot of tracks), and just becuase I'm now...

Yesterday I was messing around with an old tapco mixer I got on the cheap, running the output into one of the inputs and plugging in other weird sounds to create weird modulated feedback. I accidentally pushed the volume up too high at one point, and quickly ripped my headphones off to save my...

EDIT: problem fixed; it was my mixer. I had the high eq knob turned way down and didn't realixe it :p i'll leave the song up http://www.fallcomix.com/feelings.mp3

and tell me what you think. Or don't. :) i walked out raining from the elevated train i smelled the energy, the wet leaves on cement growing with our footsteps, water poured out of the sky and as the streets were swallowed up forgot all our regrets i saw you smiling as you swam between the...

I just bought a teac a-3440 four-track recorder, having heard a lot of good things about it. The songs I plan on recording on it have as many as 30-40 tracks, so it had been my plan to record four tracks at a time, get them sounding how I want them to sound in the final mix, and then record...
