Hi everyone!
this is my first thread here I hope that will be helpful for other people too
I want to buy my first multitrack - accually on 70% I bought it - I made a deal with a seller and I have one week for change my mind. It is TASCAM ATR 60 8 tape recorder with: (see attached pics)
- 1x TASCAM ES-50 Synchronizer
- 1x TASCAM DX-80S dbx / Professional Noise Reduction
- 1x TASCAM 8 chanel VU meter
- 1x TASCAM ES-51 Synchronizer Control Unit
- Maintance and user manual (but only ATR )
- Cables (see below)
I really need help because of lack of user manuals
My questions:
0. Cost of this was about 2900 Eur. Am I dumb, or I am lucky guy?
1. Is it a good combination for 8 track recording or something is missing?
2. It does not have a remote control RC-65, but is it needed if I have ES50/51?
3. If ES50/51 is enough, could you please describe some fuctionality or send me user manual? For example can I do auto punch record with this unit?
4. Please look at tape heads. They look good for me and machine record/sync./playback well. Sometimes the sound fluctuated but seller told me that it a wrong tape. I believe him for now because I really see small pieces of tape on ground. So tape is reaaly bad.
5. Can this bad tape make problems with rewind? Sometimes reels need a small help with my hand. When I cleaned tape heads, pinchroller, capstan.... it works.
6. Please look at rear panel. There is no cable in Remote control or Function remote. Is it OK? (see question 2 and 3).
7. I have only this cable (ACCESSORY socket on ATR) and cable between ES50 and ES51. Is it enough?
Sorry for lot of question but I searched internet so many times without success. I do NOT have this beuty machine with me right know so ..
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
