    eek! I just bought a Ross 4 track..

    Heya fellas, I saw this Ross 4x4 thing on ebay and it looked pretty sweet so I bid on it. I didn't really think I would win it because I only bid about $75 and I thought it'd go for higher because they seem pretty rare. Well I won it for $66.. I found almost nothing online about it. Does anyone...

    Are dropouts not preventable?

    Hey Guys, I've been recording a lot lately with my four track for an album. I cleaned the heads this morning with pro fluid from the shack, and I cleaned the rubber rollers with water. After that I demagnetized everything in the tape path. After recording today, I've experienced about two minor...

    I can't find TDK SA60's anywhere

    Hey Everyone, I'm starting a recording project on Monday with my Tascam 414 mkII. Lately I've been using Sony "cd power" type 2 tapes, but I'm experiencing some dropouts. I've heard that TDK SA60 tapes are the best and can be found anywhere, but today I went to Radio Shack, Target, and Wal-mart...

    What is MIDI? What is Sequencing?

    I am a piano player, and have been reading about and am interested in the motif. I have a vague idea of what midi and sequencing is, but I'm not too clear on it. From what I know, though, I think I would definitely make good use of it. So could someone give me a complete explanation of what it...

    Demagnetizer and Tape Head Cleaner for 414MKII?

    Could someone recommend a site where I can get a good cassette tape degausser for my Tascam? I guess I'll use it every time I change tapes?? It that right? And what about a tape head cleaner? Do I use that just as often, and if so, before or after the degausser. I think I'll just get a head...

    TASCAM 34b 1/4" @ 15ipc = 24bit??

    Howdy, I'm new to analog recording, and I'm interested in the TASCAM 34b. I'm just curious as to what bit and sampling rate these 4 track 1/4" recorders record at. Is it 24 bit, 96K? or 16 bit, 48K? Am I way off? Or thinking the wrong thing? I'm just curious. And also, I don't know if anyone...

    Recording a Piano??

    I've searched the previous threads and haven't found too much about recording an upright piano. I have somewhat of an idea of what I think would be best, and have played around a bit, but I would like to know the way other people do it. I really want to record stereo. The only 2 mics I have...

    Acoustic Guitar Stereo Micing w/a sm58 & B1

    How do y'all think it would sound if I used a Studio Projects B1 panned right, and a Shure sm58 panned left for an acoustic guitar? Would it sound crappy? Would I be better off just using the B1? Or will it sound awesome? I'd appreciate any suggestions, thanks.
