Please note my posting if you're interested in an MSR-16 in good condition. In Vancouver Canada areas. Tascam MSR 16 reel to reel analog tape recorder. Contact me either through Craigslist or through this BBS if you're interested or want more information. Thanks.

Here are three weird and/or ugly guitars. Other examples anyone? Enjoy...(take a Gravol first if you have a weak stomach...)

Any advice on good drum mic clamps and where to get them. Also, pros and cons of these vs. mic stands?

An acquaintance wants to be able to lay down quick song ideas and do some overdubs (guitar and bass). It's not for production but more for composing and saving ideas. He knows nothing about recording and asked me for advice. My studio is overkill for what he wants and I'd rather see him with...

I'm looking to buy a cd recorder as a mixdown device for my analog studio. I don't plan to use a PC or other computer. One reader recommended a Pioneer and that is a definite possibility. There seem to be a lot of TEAC RW-D200's around for really cheap and these are all factory refurbished and...

I have an analog setup (16 track TASCAM MSR 16) and I'd appreciate any suggestions on what people are using as a mixdown device these days. I don't have a PC in my studio and don't want one there so it would have to be some other type of device (preferably not too expensive) but it need not be...

I just tried one of the new Taylor 500 series acoustic cutaway guitars. As an acoustic instrument it was reasonable (the usual Taylor sound--bright and clean and a little quiet on the bottom end) but plug it in and whoa! Absolutely stunning--it knocked everything else in the store flat on its...

Just found this little gem! http://www.store.yahoo.com/fostex/servicemanuals.html

I have an opportunity to purchase a Fostex 4035 synchronizer controller. Anyone tried using this to synch two R8s? If so I'd appreciated knowing how you did this and how it works. Thanks.

Please, not what someone has read or heard second hand. Only if you've actually tried this, please let me know if you thought the difference was worth it. Much appreciated.

Just picked up a Lexicon Alec on Ebay for $81.00. Anyone tried one before? I have various highly programmable FX units in my rack but I liked the idea of something simple that permits you to dial up quick and easy sounds, particularly for live shows where you don't want to fiddle with a lot of...

I have a Fender Twin (the "Evil Twin" as it's known) which in spite of its crappy red knobs (which I've replaced with black), has incredible tone and I love the amp. I bought it used with Celestion G12-30 speakers in it. The tone is great in the mids and upper ranges but they crap out at the...

Any tips on repairing a small tear in a paper speaker cone? Advice much appreciated.

Please check your own post and see if it makes any sense to you. ..

Just had a chance to crank up a full 5150 II stack last night at a friend's store. A lively amp full of tone and thunder. Anyone used these in a working environment? Comments?
