my neighbor just gave me one of these in pretty perfect condition and i'd definitely like to start using it soon. as i have no experience in reel to reel analog, i'd like to know how i could use it in my recording process. i also got an old anlog mixer as well. currently i've been recording in digital on a BOSS br-1180 and wanna use these analog components i've procured. what would be the best way? i mic the all instruments, so i was thinking i plug the mic into the mixer, then the mixer to what? the BOSS? where can i use the reel to reel. i know theres alot of technical knowledge on these boards, so hopefully someone can help out a newbie like myself!
