1975--1976 politics--REGULATIONS ---the OZONE ENVIRONMENTAL CRAP THAT THEY WERE FORCED TO DO----ALL AMPEX TAPE STUCK AFTER 1975. NOTICE JAPANESE TAPES TODAY ARE FINE--MAXELL--FUJI--ETC. ITS ALL A HOAX

Tascam Model 3---Tascam 48ob 8-track The two work great together.

My two DX-4D's don't need calibration the way my DBX 150'S and DBX 150X's Do. I just plug them in and hit record. Wished I would have had the DX-4D'S back in 1985 for my Tascam 48ob which still works great today. Jack

I recorded really hot with a little high end boost then rolled some top back off in the 1970's before I got DBX NR. You and I were using 1/4 inch reel to reels vs. cassettes. IMHO vastly superior. Course the Beatles used 1 inch tape on the Telefunken and Studer 4-tracks. I have 4 analog...

Rob--I agree with you about the simplicity of DAW'S today. I use Cubase 7.07 most of the time but I do like an analog front end. Either Waves Studer j-37 plugin or my Teac--Tascam tape machines. Being 68 years young I was using my Teac A-2340 4-track years before the portastudio came out and...

The Beatles bounced tracks between two 4-track machines a lot say tracks 1,2,3,4 were full on one Studer j-37 4-track. They then would merge say tracks 1 & 2 together on the 2nd 4-track leaving tracks 3 & 4 alone on the 2nd Studer -37 4-TRACK 2nd 4-track track 1. 1&2 track 2. empty...

That's why reel to reel people need someone like skywave to learn how to repair these vintage things. Anyone can be a parts changer. I know a man in LA whose very competent but about to retire plus I've learned about a man whose retiring in Springfield Oregon who was in the business for a long...

Yea even Adrian is retiring at Adrian Pro Audio in Los Angles Got this news from Tinman over at TAPEHEADS. I'm trying to learn myself just to keep my own Tape decks going. Jack :-):-)

Hey old friend--thanks Sam (Skywave) Ya I'll try some DA513'S Wish me luck fixing it. Keep up the great work Sam :-)

Thanks spantini--I've got the Tascam 22-4 manual but it doesnt say or I can't find it in there. I'm hoping Sam--SKYWAVE could answer this.

Hi folks--Anyone know the correct Fuse Lamp to use in a Tascam 22-4? I found this from an old link from Skywave https://www.jkllamps.com/incandescent/fuselamps Like usual the Tascam 22-4 manual doesn't show it. Had the same problem with Bulbs in my Tascam 48 manual. A quick call to Tascam parts...

Back in 1975 I paid $650.00 for my Teac A-2340 Jack :)

Take the reels off or at least release the tension off of the hubs. The hubs are plastic and the constant tension can crack them. A few Tascam techs have told me this. Jack :)

Hi Tinymotel-- The Tascam 58 run's at 15 ips and I believe your 388 runs at 7 1/2 ips. IMHO I would say no to syncing the two machines. I use RMGI SM-911 Tape on my Tascam 48 and Tascam TSR-8. It's good tape. Jack:)

Yea--Shure sm 57's & 58's DBX 160 Compressors JBL 4311 monitors ----Egg cartons or carpets on walls Towels on Drums and somtimes Tom's were miked from underneath. Tascam Model 5 & 80-8. I was there Jack :)
