Hey guys, I'm trying to unscrew the cap screw that attaches to the U-shaped bracket that supports the C-38b microphone body that is attached to the threads for the mic stand connector. (photos attached) It looks like the two small holes on the top might remove it, . . but I don't know what...

Wow! Very cool looking microphone-- very art deco looking. I have used a mic similar to this a few years ago- Not sure if its the same one though. I will check back and see if I can still find it.

Thanks for all the input guys! I appreciate the help. ;)

Tascam M312b Mic Pre question? Hey Gang, Does anyone know the maximum output gain for the mic pres on the M312b mixer? I was planning on using a Shure SM7b (yes, you read that correctly, thats not a typo-- SM7b, not a SM57) :D microphone to record some vocals, but I heard that the SM7b need...

very cool, since this is all still very new to me, at this point I gotta love any device that has a "super nice mode" :p Thanks FM! The only thing that I'm a little lost about is how to add a preamp to the signal chain, and connecting it all to the 424. What's the best way to adjust my...

Thank you for the info Ghost! I will give that compressor a try, and see if it helps. The vocals were really hard for me to get an even record level, I found it difficult to prevent the vocals from not spiking and distorting. What's the best way to hook up a compressor for tracking with the...

Thanks Everybody!!! Hey Everybody :p Thanks for all the great input and lots of positive encouragement!!! :D Everyone offered some very constructive with real suggestions. I really had a blast making my first recording and mix. I have been lurking on this forum for the past several months...

Okay guys, this is my first attempt at tracking on a Tascam 424, and mixing down on a Pioneer CD burner. So, be gentle. :o This is just a rough mix, cause I'm still trying to figure out how all this stuff works. I think that the vocals were recorded a bit too hot, cause I seem to get a...

Hey guys! I wanted to try using an older DBX 163x compressor to record a few vocal tracks, and I was wondering if anyone out there has used these little guys to add a little compression to their vocals tracks, and how much do you usually compress the vocals with these things, and what LEVEL...

Hey Gents, I have a nice cheapo Tube MP Preamp that I would like to use for its Phantom Power with my condenser mic, and as a preamp to add a little color to my vocal tracks~ But, I'm not exactly sure what how to use the OUTPUT & INPUT knobs on the Tube MP preamp, when its plugged into the 424...

Thanks for the advice guys! :)

Hey fellas, I just picked up a cool little tube amp from a garage sale~ But, unfortunately, it has a musty smell, probably form sitting in a basement or attic for the past several years. :o Has anyone had any success or have any good methods for eliminating musty smells from amp cabs?

Thanks for the reply Maddog! We are not sure what 16 track we want to get yet, but we were thinking of either a Tascam MSR-16, or the 1" ATR-60. So, if anyone else have any mixer recommendations or preferences for use with there 16 track recorder, would love to hear! :p

I was hoping if some of you guys could recommend a few decent mixers that would work well with a 16 track recorder? :confused: I was thinking of of either the Tascam M320, or a Tascam 520. But, it seems like the 520 has 8 busses, and the M320 only has 4 busses. I wonder if the additional 4...

okay, excellent! Thank you, thank you! That sounds like something that would work great! But, I'm kinda a little slow, so, ya gonna have to take it easy on me-- Big time newb! :p What type of cables would I use to hook up the reverb this way, and if you have some time, can ya give me a step...
