Hi, i just recently picked up a great Tascam 25-2 from a small music shop that was gone over by a tech and all. So i knows it a working machine. But ive been having trouble recording onto it. The line in inputs are the clearest from my mixer. Xlr outs seem low even at +20db. The main problen...

Thats awsome, its crazy how much the 388 has gone up in value the past few years. Damn you black lips! but i'm totally with you, computer recording is always awkward. easy in some respects, but getting a good sound takes forever. and even then, me personally not having the mics pre amps and...

Nice, thats a nice score. Yea the sound on sound is really what I'm after. Hopefully can find a nice unit sporting that. Not looking for studio grade, just looking for a nice way to get music ideas in better than cassette quality. (analog only):D Thanks

I was wondering with this reel to reel. Are you able to record multi track style, each input has its own volume controls. Curious if you can tape one track to the next without the erase head doing its business over everything.

Hey MHB I wanted to ask you about posting one of your songs on my blog, Shoot me an email (phrige@gmail.com).

Hey Kratos, Why don't you post up a link to your band here? (Easy Advertising :D) I'm wondering if the best solution for non-mainstream artists looking to support themselves is a mixture of touring a lot, giving away cd's as free downloads, And letting people buy CD's more as a donation. I...

I agree sounds pretty great, and its mixed well. I'd like to hear some of the other stuff too.

Checked out some of your tracks, pretty cool stuff. Love the titles and ideas involved. Witty Stuff. Had me chuckling sometimes.

That is one great thing, there is a lot of reel to reel machines on craigslist. And its always changing. Yea I think I'm just going to pass on that machine all together. But your right, I think the 1/2" 8 track and 1/4" or 1/2" half track is the best route. I'll post pics when I do find a...

Actually I'm looking to do both. I do solo, multitrack stuff. And I'm looking to record small 2 piece or 3 piece groups (which I have in mind). As well as some voice over work/ spoken word. I would like to store masters of all the work on do on 2 track, so its definitely something I'm looking...

I gatta thank you JP. cause I could have been way out into some deep water. I think you made good points with the possible problems and their sources. If I had sometime to tinker I would pick the machine up (certainly for much less), but right now I'm just looking to record. Thanks again for...

:D Just wanted to be sure Miroslav, it'd be a heck of a coincidence. Thanks for the Fostex info. It seems to be the situation, i've read about people who have them that end up dead in the water due to lack of parts. I'll have to pass it up, though its odd to find them so expensive online on...

Good to know! I wasn't sure how the motors and belts were set up, I was trying to verify that the motors work. Thanks a ton.

Thanks Miroslav :) btw you aren't THE cosmic cowboy of WFMU fame are you? (just thought I'd check )

4 track, open to getting an 8 track if the deal is right. 1/2" is the perferred medium, while 1/4" is more common so it may come down to the budget I'm able to spend on it. Cause if I can manage to get a good working 8 track like a Tascam 38, i'll jump on it. Likewise the Fostex is limited in...
