Hello, I am in the process of calibrating my Otari MTr 90 mkiii with ATR tape +6. Ive done the procedure via Chris Maras tape cal APP and I have this issue: I am in input monitor on the tape machine and I see two signals on two line inputs on my console. 1 - a synth 2- kick drum. the synth...

Hello, I have a dbx 160 vu that distorts whenever you have something running through it. The threshold , compression ration, and output knobs have no effect on anything. I can turn the output to zero and still hear the signal so loud and distorted. Please help this is annoying me badly

Wondering if anyone can tell me if these heads are good. Been recording on it for a year now, haven’t noticed anything bad. Just wondering if visually someone can see something. There is a reflection of the splicing block in one of the heads just in case anyone asks lol.

Hi all, Ive decided to sell my ramsa wrt 820 to fund a purchase of the new Trident 78 32 channel board. The reason behind this is i've moved from a 16 track 1" to a 24 track 2" and I need more channels. Im not sure what to expect with the new trident 78 but I LOVE the sound of my ramsa. I'm...

Hello, I wanted to bring this issue up that I am having with the Midi Xpress XT. I have successfully synced up my Tape machine as master and protools as a slave. The only issue I am having is when protools hears the sync tone is starts playback at approximate 3 bars instead of bar 1. This is an...

Hello, I'm looking for a product to sync my protools Midi sequencer to my tape machine. I have several keyboards and drum machines that I rec midi data to protools. My goal is to record a song into protools via midi. Hit play and mix on my console the song to tape. I set the protools tempo...

Help! Ive got my ramsa wrt820 connected to an MTR90 24 Track through my patchbay and all the audio I send to it is not doing much to the meters on the otari and the audio from playback sounds thin... heres what Ive got connected Im thinking I've got some sort of problem with all the...

Hello! I'm experiencing a few issues with tracks 1 & 16 on my MS16. I usually print a SYNC tone from my Linn on track 1 at +3 level. Everything seems fine but my linn will get a hickup. I thought it was the linn but upon further recording a different sound source I noticed some of the audio on...

Does anyone know how? http://madamebutterface.com/assets/documents/Tascam%20PB-32%20Owners%20Manual.pdf

I dont have a manual and cannot find it anywhere online. Wondering if anyone has a manual or knowledge of doing this. I already have the MRL tape.

Hello, Im trying to use this Tascam PB 32 H (1/4" in front and RCA in back) with my Ramsa mixer GROUP OUTS and DIRECT OUTS (Channels 1-16). My ramsa wrt 820 uses RCA group outs and direct outs. I need to have the TOP row of Tascam connected to Ramsa's 16 channels of Direct Outs and the BOTTOM...

Hello, I've had this issue for awhile but certain channels on my Ramsa board pass clean signal, then get faint and distorted. To resolve this I bump up the gain (max) and it goes back to a clean signal for a brief period, then back to low output and distortion. Any ideas as to what is...

I am curious to know if there are sonic differences in using older recording tape. For example there are some ampex tapes that have a rainbow logo which I believe are from the mid70s. How do those sound vs the 80s/90s tapes? Also, what about tapes dating from the 1960s? I hear many great...

I'd like to introduce a patchbay into my set up. I have various outboard gear I'd like to hook up. I've been using a la4 compressor connected as an insert before hitting tape. But as I'm mixing I don't want to have to crawl behind the mixing board to plug stuff in. Once I'm done on tape I'd like...
