hi there folks,
If I may throw a couple of questions to the community...
Do any of you have ever mounted their TSR-8 (or another reel to reel recorder with the same size) to a rack system?
I don't own a studio, I work in the flat where I live with my wife n baby.
Which means: I have no dedicated room for my lil' analog recording system.
I have to room it every time I'm done with my recording / mixing, and pack it out of the closet every time I want to do something with it.
Furthermore, I'd like to be able to move around with my system (I mean: go to a studio for recording, go to a friends place, go to a garage, to a gig, whatever).
So here's my point:
1./ Is it such a bad idea to use a TSR-8 as a "mobile studio" (with a mixer of course)? I know it is not meant for travelling, but let's say I will be carefull...
2./ What are the mounting solutions?
I noticed the RM 408 ears ("rack kit for TSR8") at reelprosound.
I can't imagine how to mount such a reel recorder on a rack... Won't the reels "oversize" the rack??
Anyway...
My dream is a flight-case with wheels, the TSR mounted in it, both front and back openable (for wire access), which I could choose to stand or lie down (TSR vertical or horizontal).
In that case (huhuhu) this flight case could be not very deep.
Another case for the mixer, wires and tapes in the backpack, and let's hit the road.
What do you think of that?
(please don't answer "you should buy a portastudio", thanks ...)
