I ended up getting a PDF scan of the manual for the CS8/M8 units from the seller, and weirdly it's a product that seems completely unfinished. It even said that the MIDI/RS spec was to be printed at a later date, which clearly never happened. I guess in its current state it's only good for doing...
Oh yeah! The Mackie UltraMix or something like that. I think that one was dependent on some paired software, whereas the JL Cooper stuff and some others just have a universal MIDI spec for use with a sequencer, or record the events internally based on SMPTE time.
A serch on Reverb turned up...
Back at it with some rare gear searching! Thanks to the kind folks at this lovely forum (specifically @jpmorris ? ), I was able to hunt down the Tascam MMC-100 I needed. Now I’m on the hunt for something akin to the JL Cooper Mix Mate.
Very much love the idea of a small “all in one” VCA...
Hey JP! Curious if you still have this MMC-100 unit laying around? I know this post was from like 15 years ago (so it’s unlikely) but I’m desperately seeking one of these to buy for my own setup.
Haha, totally fair. I'm sure one will manifest eventually. Even an RC-51 popped up on Reverb ~7 months ago (if past listings are to be believed). So I suppose nothing is elusive forever ;-)
Hey Sweet! Sincerest apologies for bumping/reviving an old thread, but since I'm scouring the internet for one of these units I'm curious if another one has come across your path in the last few years? I get the impression folks don't know what to do with these units, so I'm trying to hunt-down...
Thank you! I've been mixing much of what I've been recording without a computer, but I do also have this set up so that the MOTU 828 is looped-in on channels 1-8 (and groups 1-8) so that I can bounce to and play back from Logic as well. The MOTU takes SMPTE from channel 8 on the upper Tascam 238...
Over the last three years I've been assembling something of a lo-fi tape studio in my Brooklyn rehearsal space. I purchased two Tascam 238 decks and an M-1600 24 track mixer, along with an ATS-500 I acquired through a serendipitous Reverb email exchange (to synchronize them). I've been able to...
