    HD 24s

    I have two fully synced together and use them on a daily basis and will continue to do so until they die. They are fed by my digital desk. which I will also keep until it dies. At that time I will probably throw in the sound recording towel !!!!!!! Only problem is that Alesis had major...

    HD24 is and drives

    The update fixes a couple of minor bugs, but having updated both of my machines quite some years ago, I really didn't find all that much difference --- well not in my case anyway After the update the HD24 will read material that was recorded on the old OS, but under no circumstances should you...

    How long ago did Alesis discontinue the HD24 and HD24XR ?

    Joel, Not sure as I have not looked at either of mine, but the XR version stopped being manufactured around 2009, after I think they were bought out. Not long after the HD24 was released, Alesis had serious financial troubles and I believe that this stopped the HD24 BRC from being developed...

    Reverb for Operatic Vocals

    If you are referring to the first clip on Youtube where he is in the TV studio, being a 1969 recording and definitely from the sound, I would state almost positively that the reverb was from a 6ft (1800mm) EMT Plate set with a very short reverb time. I doubt if you will be able to reproduce...

    Solved another new one

    Gecko, It was only my single opinion, so I will go with whatever others (including yourself) think. BUT, I do think that the poster should voluntarily offer a general apology to all of those that were simply giving their professional (or otherwise) opinions on the poster's video, as I am sure...

    Solved another new one

    All, I am possibly talking out of place here but with the attitude and language used, I feel that the moderator/s should think very seriously about removing the poster from the forum. Remembering that the poster more or less posted a posting that was asking for opinions -- "I think I may be...

    Tascam M-30 and Tascam 34: How do I dub vinyl records to tape with these?

    TalismanRich, you have brought back quite a few memories with some of the items and brands that you mentioned in your reply to my post. AND, a definite shame that you had the flood and lost all the covers, however all might not be lost if you have a look in Youtube, you could possibly find that...

    Tascam M-30 and Tascam 34: How do I dub vinyl records to tape with these?

    TalismanRich, Re your question about why dubbing of the LPs in the first. I have possibly a couple of LPs (most in perfect condition) and most never released on CD, so over the past year (COVID has helped !!!), I have been slowly converting these to digital and have then been burning these to...

    Can anyone help me "diagnose" my USB mic's background noise/hissing? PLEASE HELP!!

    You stated that you are using a laptop. In the past there have been a number of posts where people have experienced noise/hum problems when using a laptop, with some finding that the problem disappeared if they used battery only --- something to do with the filtering in the power pack. If you...

    Help!!, Behringer Truth B3031A speaker turns off after a minute

    Not sure where you are from, but Behringer and their various country agents (not necessarily the retailers !!!) I have always found to be excellent at giving service and customer service requests, so can I suggest that you contact the Behringer importer in your country and tell them exactly what...

    32Hz Pipe Organ Dave, You are almost correct !!! From when I worked there (sound dept management and FOH) for its first 16years and having to have dealings with Ron Sharpe (the organ's designer and builder) the organ in the Concert Hall of the Sydney Opera House goes down to 16.35Hz (32ft)...

    Anyone Ever Hear of a Sony ECM-23F Condenser

    I have had (and use regularly) four of the CMS 23 mics that I purchased in the early 1970's and find them excellent for most things that I have used them on. I particularly like the sound on a good acoustic guitar and snare and hi-hat and unlike some of the dynamic mics (very well know brand)...

    The very basics

    Very interesting topic and mic placement and "stereo spread" is something that I have always been very concerned about when recording. Also interesting to listen to others about the changes in listening habits, quality and systems. I remember as a youngish teenager (I was always interested in...

    Biggest beginner struggles

    This is going to sound crazy but it is true and I am not as many will know a beginner BUT my biggest wish is two fold (1) that the freight cost to bring items from the USA to Australia was no where near as expensive as it is --- very recently wanted to buy something on ebay (USA) the cost $US500...

    Recording In A Completely Dead Room

    Miroslav, I fully agree with your comments, I was basically stating that if the correct measurements "could" be used then a lot of the acoustic problems that many forum members talk/ask about could be solved and as an anecdote how I solved the "dead studio" situation for the type of recording...
