This may have been talked about many times before...but I spent about 20 minutes in the archives and didn't find anything. I have several hundred vinyl LP's and I want to transfer a lot of them over to CD. My computer is a 800 Mhz Pentium III with a 40 gigabyte hard drive and dual CD. How do I...

You don't mention you price range...but I've gotta echo the Paul Reed Smith endorsements. I've got a cherry sunburst Custom 24 that every time I pick it up I want to thank the guy that sold it to me. Very versatile for recording...you can make it sound like a Strat, like a Les Paul, and a bunch...

Sweepable mids refers to the fact that you can choose which portion of the frequency spectrum you want to boost or cut. Play around with the midrange settings at mixdown time (it's usually best to record with the settings "flat" and then adjust at mixdown). Start with both knobs turned to far...

Thanks Kristian! Great information on that page...

It's a Teac A-2300S and I'm pretty sure it will only take 7" reels. I'll try Guitar Center (actually a Musician's Friend showroom, now run by Guitar Center in my town) first, and dogpile.com if I don't have any luck there...thanks!

Is blank 1/4" recording tape still available for reel-to-reel machines? I may be buying an old Teac unit but I don't remember seeing blank tape available anymore...but I haven't exactly been looking for it either. Where should I be looking?

One of my co-workers brought one of these reel-to-reel units in today and he wants to sell it. I've never had a reel-to-reel before and may buy it just because they're old and cool. Is this a regular 2-track stereo machine? If my studio is Tascam 488 analog and I usually mixdown to cassette...

Has anyone ever owned or played a Univox guitar? I've got a line on a cool-looking hollowbody electric 12-string in one of the local buy-and-sell stores. I didn't have time to sit down and play it yet, but if anyone has any experience with Univox I'd like to know about it, thanks!

I started out my home recording experience with a 414 MKII...and quickly found myself constrained by only having four tracks and wishing I had spent the money on eight tracks up front. I now have a 488 and I love it. Does the 424 have sweepable mids? This is another feature of the 488 that's...

AMS also has the Teac head demagnetizers for about $50, www.americanmusical.com Definitely don't buy the cassette-type demagnetizers, get the real thing...it's worth the $50.

kristian, are the Fuju ZII tapes available here in the states? I've never seen them, where might they be sold? How expensive are are we talking here?

When you're playing back, are you listening through the monitor section or the tape cue section? If monitor section, make sure you have your assigns set correctly (make sure you have the proper 1/2 or 3/4 button pressed, and it corresponds to the way you have the channels panned), and the...
