Really it’s just 4 screws, and take off the tape head covers. The three belts I changed didn’t need anything else removed. Super easy!

Thank goodness I can't go and get this.....Having a love affair with old mixers (....especially big old mixers.....) may be my undoing......

The funny thing is, as I'd get further into the part, I'd get more and more anxious about screwing up. One time, I made through the whole part until the last chord..... and played the complete wrong chord. :facepalm: I am really starting to see some advantages to this analog/digital setup I'm...

Two Really good videos that will make you think about routing. YouTube YouTube The second one was done because I didn't want a patchbay. I have since learned the error of my ways. I have a Tascam M-312b which I use to feed a 4 track tape player. One of the best features of the 312 (in my...

Thank you guys! I tried the multiple take thing and it works!! (I also did the walk away thing :) ). Having a DAW really helps. I can keep doing more and more takes, then I just fade in/out tracks where I messed up. Also using several tracks of my voice at once makes me sound "pitchy", but not...

I just went out to my wife and said "Hey!!! Someone online said I'm not an an asshole." .....she looked over her glasses said I was still an asshole...... :D .... but thanks anyway.....

Yesterday, I did about 10 takes with the guitar. Every take had something wrong with it. Little things like fret buzz or a missed fingering.... things like that. Is there a way to hide these things in the mix? I don’t want a hit record, I just want it to sound good.

Well… here I am staring at my latest configuration of a studio. I look at every piece and can relate it to someone’s help here. When I started, I started with a 4-track Portastudio in a travel trailer. Now I have a setup I think I’m going to really like. A base to start getting better quality...

Thanks Skywave, I ended up finding one. The ones I had were from my Tascam 234 adventures.... they were a bit big. Next time though.... I’ll look you up first..... ....ummmm..... how’s your Uher parts selection...... ;)

Hey Doris, I know nothing about the machine, but I did find a copy of the owners manual. Maybe that will help. http://members.chello.nl/~h.megens/assets/multimedia/PMD740.doc

Thanks Miro!! I only have an 8x6 interface, still bussing ITB and sending it out 4 channels, and leaving 2 for effects is intriguing. That's kind of what happened when I tried it, but I was hoping for the other :) . Still.... bringing it out to the console I think would be interesting. I'll...

I was watching this fella, trying to learn a bit about my setup, and he talks about bringing in the box effects out to two channels. It looks to me like he is just making a buss for them, and bringing out only the effects??? Then using his faders to adjust the effect. The only way I can do it...

Thanks Dave. I am not familiar with the DIN electrical regime at all, but I have a feeling I'm about to be :D. I'll look into it, but yesterday I spent 2 minutes trying to hook a phono jack into an RCA plug..... this could be over my head..... ;) Last night, since there is nothing on manuals...

THE last major piece to the puzzle is working!!!! .......I think........ I bought one of these that was a mouse house off from eBay (I didn't know it was a mouse house at the time). After we settled down in a permanent residence, I bought this one at a flea market for $10. This morning, I was...

I tried what you said and went directly to the DAW. There was no signal loss. Then I went through the tape player (Tascam 134) to the DAW ... again... no signal loss. I was kind of playing around with the drum track before to see if Garageband compression was causing any problems. So the...
