Found an Ampex 350 with Inovonics Upgrade... So, as some of you may know, I have an ad up in the local classifieds requesting a professional tape machine... This morning I received this. What do you think? The price looks great, but I don't know, the original tube 350 modules were cool, and...

So, I'm a long time reader, and I haven't posted in a long time. But now I feel it's time to ask. To those who own a decent sized pro, semi professional machine, I ask you, where did you get your machines, and how much did you pay? I am always looking in my local classified for something, but...

So, I'm about to invest in my first ACTUAL hardware compressor, no more of this "in-the-box" stuff... WHERE DO I BEGIN! I've been reading up a lot on stuff, and apparently the Distressor is a very popular pic, however, I don't think I will be sold on it. My approach to recording has always been...

So, I've been working in a pro studio now for the last 3 months, my first step into the professional world of recording. I've been cutting stuff at such a cheap rate, I'm just covering costs... but I don't care! I've been working on (engineering/ producing) nothing but great stuff! Leaving my...

So, I worked with a guy for a week in the studio, and we cut a 5 song EP, I just finished generally mixing the masters, and I'd like for you guys to have a listen and tell me what you think. It's my first project since working in a professional studio environment. Thanks! Rene...

Everyone in this section is clearly an advocate for the use of analog mediums for sound recording, but I want you all to compile a list of every little thing that is an advantage of "Tape". I mean, there's the things laymen throw in like "Warmth" and "Saturation" and "Compression" and the like...

I know this is not necessarily the right place to post this, but I couldn't figure which would be better. anyhow, I GOT A JOB!!! A few months ago, I asked a recording engineer in town who I've done projects in town with in the past if I could intern under him, he said yes, but it took until...

Hey everyone, I just scored my first cassette multitracker, its a Fostex Model 280, I got it off a local guy on kijiji for 100 dollars, and made this recording in the last 3 hours. It's great! Ive been using a 4 track reel to reel (tascam 22-4) for about 3 years, I never knew the options these...

Can somebody tell me, or direct me to another thread that tells how to get that really powerful, yet not very deep bass sound found on just about every 60's recording session. From what I know, it lacks sub freq's, but does simply cutting those freq's do the trick? Let me know where I can find...

Ok, so i just learned an old standard tune, and I thought I'd make a quick instrumented recording of it, allowing me to use new toys of mine like my Space Echo and my 1964 rogers drumkit! Anyway, one thing lead to another, and I now have what i think is a pretty impressive recording on my hands...

I've owned this machine for a good 3 years now, and its never given me any issues, but yestrday when I turned it on, it would not record a signal well. It was either too quiet, or just really awful sounding. I don't know whats happening, the last time i turned it on, it seemed to be working...

Hey, I'm not very plug-in savvy, not at all actually, but recently I came across these <piracy link removed by moderator> plugins. I, am a huge fan of recordings with older flare, and I'm wondering if anybody knows of some good tried and tested plugins for PT that I could add to my hopefully...

Hi, the ebay auction for THIS Ampex stereo pre ends today. I can't find a lick of information online about it though. Can anybody help me?

So, I would like to start an analog studio on a budget. I already have a consumer lever tascam 22-4 4 track 1/4 inch reel to reel recorder, which sounds quite nice to my ears, a Roland Space Echo, spring reverb, some nice Mics, and instruments. I want to know what are the most essential pieces...

I finally decided where I want to go as a musician, and that is I would like to be a producer/engineer. I've done a little research, and I've decided that it would be better and more affordable for me to apprentice in a studio rather than get a diploma at a school. To do this, I'm going to need...

Hey, it's me again, if you didn't catch my last thread entitled "DRUM MICING DILLEMA", i got a matched pair of sony C38b to record stereo images with. I just did a quick drum recording to see how they sound, and I want you all to have a listen. Its 2 Sony C38Bs for overhead, measured equal...

Ok, So I did a mic test today to see which mic I would like to use best out of a few I have to mic drums. I simply places the mics very close in a row in front of the kit and did a track each to my 4 track tape reel and I listened to them very carefully, and I don't know which one I should use...

So I bought a vintage 1969 tr-2 traynor reverb tank. It sounds really good, but it makes a bit of noise (electrical humm?). The noise is directly linked to the "reverb" control knob. I know nothing about electronics, and I'm wondering if there's a quick fix for the problem. There is also no...

I'm getting creative with my Tascam 22-4 reel to reel recorder. As musicians are scarce, and the ones who are around dont want to play in your band, I figured I would let my 4 track substitute for a real live band. What I do is I record direct dry tracks of the guitar and bass into the 4 track...
