Thanks for the replies! I think I'm leaning towards an 8 track recorder, since I want to record a band on it, probably 2 drum mics, one bass, one guitar, then room for a couple overdubs and a couple of vox. The 238 is especially attractive since I'd like to have something I could take along to...

Hi chaps, looking for some advice. I have for years been in DAW land, in fact I pretty much learnt recording from the computer based perspective (I'm 26). I have had some experience with cassette 4 and 8 tracks and briefly a 1/4" r2r and found that in about every way I prefer it. Sound...

Nice one, thanks :)

Hi, just wondering how to best connect the output of an SCA N72 to the ins on my Fostex Model 80? Thanks! :)

Thanks for the advice, will definitely hold out for a machine without faults. Getting along ok with a Fostex Model 80 but I'd prefer better sound quality really. Would a 1/2" 8 track be worth looking for over the Model 80? Thanks again!

Hi, does anyone have an opinion on these? I'm hopefully going to be getting hold of one soon. It's been modified to record 8 tracks on 1" tape. So you're getting more tape width per track than with 2" 24 track - I'm guessing the quality/resolution etc should be extremely good at this level...

Haha. thanks everyone. (I love that film btw) :)

Hi, I need to get hold of an amplifier which has 1/4" TRS inputs to power the Kef Calinda speakers I'm using for my analog recording setup (A&H System 8 and Fostex Model 80). What should I avoid? I've heard bad things about Samson amps. Are there any hi-fi amps I could get working with the...

Excellent! Thanks people! :)

Most helpful! The manual for the mixer says I should be routing the tape repro outputs into the line inputs on the mixer which I understand. (I think!) However it says that the eight mixer outputs are 'unbalanced on XLR, pins 1 & 2 (earth) and 3 (signal). There seem to just be two XLR sockets...

Hi, thanks for your response! I was just wondering if anyone knew roughly how far I need to get the machine away from the speakers in order to avoid damage? I'm in a pretty small room! If moving the machine a few feet away will do the trick then I'll do that. :)

Hi, I am unsure how to go about using a Fostex Model 80 in the same small room as my Kef Calinda speakers. I read somewhere that if your speakers make CRT monitors go funny colours (mine do) then you don't want your tape machine near them either. Is there anything I can do about it save buying...

Hi there, I'm completely new to analog recording and have just picked up a used Fostex Model 80. I have an Allen and Heath System 8 mixing desk which I'm trying to hook up to it. I got a 16 way loom free with the M80 but I can't figure out how to connect them up. The Allen and Heath outputs...
