Thanks Man, I hadn't seen that video, I have seen some similar ones that didn't really address it but he mentioned a few things that I think will help me sort it. Cheers

Hi Guys, I'm trying to record our live gigs with a Tascam US 16x08 with PreSonus Studio One. I'm running everything (8 Channels) into the 16x08 then running out to an Analogue desk. The reason I'm using the Analogue desk is for ease of mixing and making it easy to create monitor mixes. That was...

Hi Guy's Quick update to an earlier post that so many helpful people replied to. I found some Chrome cassettes in NZ. There is a guy in Auckland called Auckland Recording Services, he doesn't have a website but can be found in the Yellow Pages or Trade Me under djh.recording. I don't know how...

Yeah I thought that might be the case. According to the seller it has lived in it's box for years. It came from up North which is quite humid in our country, so that might be it. I may try and seal it with clear coat so it doesn't keep rubbing off on things and leaving grey smears on my...

Ok Here's a picture, the darker area is cleaned back to plastic the light grey is the sticky area. Is the the original colour?

Yeah that was what I thought too, I've noticed that on a pre recorded tape I've been mucking around with that on the 07 I can hear a ghost track of the old music. On the porta two I can't, so I quessing that if nothing else the playback quality is better on the 07. I was wondering if anyone...

Hi Guys As posted earlier I've picked up a Porta 07, primarily because it came with an RC 30-P. I decided to plug it in and see if it worked, it seems to work fine, in fact it seems to have had very little use. The only issue with it is that the plastic casing of the whole machine seems to have...

You guys are stars, thank you so much. Local music shop never returned my call, I wonder why so much music is getting downloaded these days!!! Thanks I'll get onto them and get some tracks down!

Cool thanks for that, it's dirt cheap anyway so it doesn't bother me buying a spare Tascam

Hi Guys, I have a Porta Two (the big one) and in the manual it says you can get a remote punch in/out footswitch, the RC30-P. I have found a Porta 07 for sale that has what looks like a RC30-P with it. Is that footswitch interchangable between models or is likely to be a different footswitch...

Happy to be of assistance, starting to get a handle on how to use mine now, bands in limbo so I'm starting a recording project!!! It should be fun.

Ah I see now, I misread your earlier post Ghost, so I'm simply looking for high bias NOT Chrome. I have found a chrome cassette in my old tape collection but wouldn't think it would be very sucessfull to erase and re record ... would it? Hopefully the local music shop comes through with a...

Thanks for the ideas guys, Steenamaroo I may yet take you up on that offer. I have found alot of people on e-bay but none of them seem to deal internationally??? I have a local music shop hunting for me as well. Cheers

Thanks man you've been a big help. I'll keep hunting!
