Thanks ! All I really want to say is thanks but it's not long to be considered a message so there.

My tsr 8 belt is a bit loose and is slipping off now and then. Anyone know of a place where I can get a new one ?

What is easy to use, works great, and sounds amazing ?

Alright I broke down and got a g5 imac and an mbox. I am having a playback latency issue and searched the digedesign website and found some info on 164 bit latency on playback occuring on each overdub x however many you have done. Since I didn't know this until it got audibley obvious I have no...

I'm going for it. There doesn't seem to be anything in it's range that rates as well. It also has compression for each channel and seems dead simple to use which is a big plus for me as I am not a manual lover or brilliant engineer (obviously if I'm askin about low end mic pre's ).

Opinions? I am looking for something that will work well with basic mics into a tsr 8 track directly and maybe come in handy if I get some digi stuff down the road.

I have a Tascam tsr 8 track on the way to me and need some help with my engineering skills (lack of). What is a good book for me to get to help with the basics- tape machine maintenance, signal chain, mic technique, getting individual headphone mixes, using compression correctly, getting good...

Jay, I am still watching your struggle and taking notes. I hope to avoid the headaches you are having right now. If it makes you feel any better the only reason why I haven't ordered my system yet and am not currently biting my tongue off trying to figure out problems way above my head with...

Thanks for the replys and suggestions. You've made me realise that I have an old Echoplex that would probably work. I could set it for almost no delay and hit the input hard . That would be a lot cheaper than a real tape machine. We are not making much live of course. You can check us out at...

My band loves the distorted and exciting sound you get when driving the tape too hard, especially on the drums. You can never get that sound live tho. I was wondering if it would be possible to run some mics (maybe just one condeser near the kit) into the 4 track and then out to the mixer and...

Jay, I am watching your progress bro. I haven't gotten my system yet, cause each time I get the money up I keep getting wacked with something. I am glad to have you as a scout to see how frustrating this journey is. I am curious to see what you will have to say about whether you are satisfied...

Thanks for the heads up.

Polaris20, thank you for the info and advice. I am trying slowly to understand computers. I found a cool website on how to build your own http://www.pcmech.com/byopc/step/1/ I am going to go with a proffesionally built one for now, but am going to try and take your advice and learn from the...

I just talked to him yesterday! He was real helpful. I think he pitched me the same system. It has way more memory (twice) what the Guitar Center deal has with Gateway and is still less money with a dual processor. Pretty cool. What monitor did you go with?

Masked, I am trying to hook up the same set up and am equally confused by the many computer choices for the 02 rack. I was thinking Mac power book myself. I also came across this deal at guitar center.com http://www.guitarcenter.com/events/digioffer/index.shtml which looks interesting. The...
