Hi, I'd like some assistance in choosing what mixing console to go for next seeing as it looks like my beloved Soundcraft Spirit Studio LC is about dead.... :'( I will be sending it for repair but the initial signs aren't good so rather than moaning about it I thought I'd start looking around...

I know Cakewalk 8 is getting a bit old now, but I really like using it (before anyone says anything!) But I've got a bit of a problem with the functionality of Cool Edit with it. I always used Cool Edit to edit my tracks and used to just select "Cool Edit" from my tools menu, but its...

Hello all, and apologies in advance for asking what is bound to be a stupid question: I've been recording Analogue for a few years now and I've recently got myself a digital set-up. I've got an M-Audio 1010, Cakewalk 8.0, and I'm running it connected up to my Soundcraft Spirit Studio 8-buss...

Hello all, I'd appreciate some help/advice with where to go on my "mixing-down" solution (that isn't implemented yet....) I recently assmbled my own "home studio" in a building at the bottom of my parents garden about 6 months ago and have been working hard on learning to use all of the...

Hello all, I'm based in England and I was wondering if there were any fellow UK reel-to-reel users who'd care to recommend any decent places/stores/web-sites etc.... to get tape from. I'm specifically after tape for my TASCAM 38 and I'm struggling so far...... Any help is much appreciated...

Hello all, I'm pretty new to the Home Recording Scene and I'm towards the end of finishing my Studio Project. I'd be really greatful for any advice on a Monitor / Amp solution for my plackback etc...... I'll set the story out for what I've got so far (in case that helps??): I've gone down the...

Hello all, I'm in the middle of setting up my 1st studio, and I'm at the point where I've started to think about recording drums (I've thought out most of the other stuff now!) Basically, it's an analogue 8 track studio (soon to be 16 track!) and the only mics I currently posses are SM57's and...

........There's a surprise I hear you say! Well, I'd been all decisive, and decided on getting myself the TASCAM M520 for my analogue set-up........... ..........BUT I've issued a "wanted" ad with some supplier in the UK (where I'm based) and now they're offering me the TASCAM M2524 for an...

Apologies for name dropping on you guys, but I was speaking to Billy about the TASCAM 520 I'll be purchasing shortly..... Basically, I'm after knowing the dimensions of a 520 (Width, depth, and length) as I'm still constructing my studio, and I want to make sure the desk will fit in the space...

Hello all, I'm in the middle (OK beginning!) of setting myself a studio up and for a start I've got myself a TASCAM 388 which is in very nice condition. I eventually want to get myself a 16-track recorder (in a year or so) and so I obviosuly want to buy myself a desk that will cope with it all...

Hello all, I'd like a little advice on which 16-track recorder to purchase. A while ago I was after going 8-track, but I've decided to go to 16-track now! At the moment, I've got offers of a Fostex G-16, or the TASCAM MSR16 - they're both in good condition. Which one would you guys recommend...

Hey guys, I'm getting into Analogue recording and am starting from scratch. I've got rough ideas of what I'm gonna get (thanks to the great people on this site!) but I'm not sure about what 8-track recorder to get. I can quite easily buy a Fostex E-8 Multitrack recorder for around $200 - $250...

Hello all, I want to get into recording at home, then over the years, expanding into something bigger. I want to start on the good old "analogue" route, and I'd like a rough check-list of what I'll need (I currently have NO GEAR AT ALL - but about $4000 to use). I want to mix/master as well...
