Hey all, This isn't about analog information, but it does deal with cassette tapes, so I thought it was a fun read: New cassette tape could hold 47 million songs - CNN.com Have a nice weekend, -MD

Hi there, Does anyone know if the MS-16 can do spot erases in edit mode? On my MSR-16, I think all I had to do was put it in edit mode, rock the tape to the portion I wants erase, hold record, and slide the part of the tape I wanted silenced over the erase head. Trying the same procedure...

Hi, I'm selling my Alesis Andromeda A6 Analog synth keyboard. It is in great condition and was used onstage for two shows by the Protomen to replace Murphy Weller's broken Korg synth (the one used to record Act I and II, for you Protomen fans). The shows it was used at were on Thursday, Mar...

Hello, Awhile ago I ran a contest/test in the analog forum in which I compared the same guitar playing across two different tape machines and a RADAR. If you're interested, you can check it out here...

Hello, My MS-16 has both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA connections. It is also capable of running dbx Type I Noise reduction, of which I have 8 channels, which have ins and outs using RCA connections. My question is, is it possible to use the balanced XLR inputs and outputs to my mixer...

Not sure if anyone in the Boston area is looking for a Tascam TSR-8, but there's one that looks like it's in great shape in Arlington for $450. Seems like a very reasonable price if it's in the condition the seller is describing. I'm in no way connected to this listing or the seller, but if I...

I was watching the interview on the Black Dynamite DVD (awesome new movie, especially if you're into '70s blaxploitation films). Apparently the film score was recorded on all pre-1975 recording equipment. Pretty cool stuff, thought I'd just put that out there. -MD

Happy 4th of July! I might not be as skilled at this as some of the other analog graphic designers/editors on this site, but I figured it'd be fun to try anyways. Have a great holiday, be safe! -MD

For all you cassette junkies, Musician's Friend cut the price of TDK Type 1 60 minutes tapes to 50 cents. It might not be a great tape for multitracking, but for music distribution it's pretty good. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/stupid -MD

I don't think this has been posted here before, but if has, my apologies. This is a pretty well-written article about Portastudio recording, even if I don't agree with everything he's written 100%. http://wi.hexagram.ca/?p=43 -MD

Greetings fellow analog connoisseurs! I've decided to run a little contest. I've made the same recording simultaneously across three machines: a Tascam MS-16 with and without dbx noise reduction, a Tascam MSR-16 with and without dbx noise reduction, and an IZ Corporation RADAR V with classic...

Hey everybody, This is not my listing, but these things are rare to find, so I thought I'd point it out for anyone interested who is in the New England area: http://boston.craigslist.org/sob/msg/1698609253.html It looks like the only problem is an old/missing capstan belt, which is a REALLY...
