Hey gang!
Headline says it all. I just snagged a Tascam 58 + M50 which looks like it was well taken care of. Came with both original manuals + a few snakes which is awesome!
Curious if anyone else is using one of these out there, what tape do you like for it? I have a 388 and have been using LPR35 with good success so far. Was thinking 911 would probably be what to use, but interested to hear if anyone is using any of the other high bias tapes with this deck and what specs you calibrate it to.
I'm also looking for a calibration tape. Any good leads on where to pick one up these days?
Also, I'm assuming the answer to this question is don't do it, it's a nightmare... but is there a possibility to sync the 58 and my 388 together to get 16 tracks? Or maybe 14 or 15 with a channel dedicated to SMPTE or something? I've been using SMPTE with my MPC with success on the 388 with the 388 as master, but no idea how I'd go about adding another tape deck into the mix...
Thanks for any help!
Cheers
