    Dallas, TX area...Analog recorder/tape machine repair???

    I have a Tascam 388 that may need some professional help. Anyone know of anyone in the North Texas area that could repair something of this nature. Or is there anyone who can tell me where I might be able to find a list of qualified people to work on this kind of gear in a certain area?

    Does anyone else do this?

    Yes, I'm so familiar with how music should sound in my car. That's how I check all of my mixes. I even hear mistakes and noises and goofs that I don't hear on my studio monitors. My car stereo and speakers are very flat, and they don't make mixes "sound good". I usually find that my mix is...

    Not sure where to post this...Need help with Headphones

    I just bought a pair of Grado SR-60's. I like them alot, but I need one more pair of headphones that will isolate the sound coming out of the headphones so that it doesn't bleed into the mic. The Grados I have are open ear design so they bleed liek crazy. The main reason I need isolating cans...

    When is a Studio really a Studio?

    This is a good topic to be brought up because I've debated this myself. I never call my home setup a "studio". I have 2 rooms, one a bedroom turned control room, the other a living room turned studio + a large closet turned vocal booth. I run on a G5, Cubase LE(need to upgrade). I have a...

    Does anyone else get this problem

    Sometimes during playback, cubase will play the track that is underneath the track that is showing, therefore you hear the track with the messup instead of the punched in track.

    If you own or are familiar w/ Tascam 388

    Cool, I tested this method out and it seems to do exactly what I wanted it to do, so thanks! Now I just have to buy a few RCA->1/4" cables it looks like.

    If you own or are familiar w/ Tascam 388

    I have one, right now I'm in the process of fixing the transport section of the machine, but all the preamps work so let me explain what I am trying to do with it, and see if someone can tell me the best way or if it's even possible. I own a firepod which has 8 inputs. What I'm trying to do is...

    help, outboard gear questions, suggestions, etc

    I have a Presonus Firepod, with Cubase LE. I've been recording for about a year, and I think I've come a long way as far as mixing and that kind of stuff goes, but lately I haven't been 100% satisfied with my mixes. For some reason when I listen to them, I sense a cheap and washed out sound to...

    Problem...help

    I don't know if this is a Cubase problem, or a Firepod problem or what, but lately I've been noticing alot of little pops or skips in some of the tracks I've been recording. I mostly hear alot of pops and clicks during playback, and they aren't on the actual track, but occasionally it will...

    My first real recording session

    Are you serious, this isn't bad at all. No compression at all on the bass or the vocals? That's hard to beleive.

    Tascam 388

    Yeah, I had that manual in my favorites and then I went back to it for reference and it didnt work. I'll try to remove the stuff you told me to remove, wish me luck. I'll let you know if it works out.

    Yeah it looks like a couple of the parts will have to be removed, but I don't even know how to remove those.

    Tascam 388

    Alright, I have the reel table to replace the broken reel table on my Tascam 388. The only problem is I'm having a hard time figuring out how to get in there to replace it and I can't find anywhere online that tells how. I tried going in from the bottom but that didn't seem to work, and I...

    Elliott Smith style Vocals?

    Besides the harmonies, I know one of Smith's vocal recording techniques is that he would usually record one melody 3 times and pan 1 right, 1 left, 1 center. And I believe he kept the center track dry while reverb was added to the left and right. For one of his best songs that show off his...
