Sonic Albert hooked me up with his number in May. He does mods to various processors, tape machines, boards, etc. Thought about a PCM but I just don't have the kind of need for the power, especially considering my finances right now (I need a new roof thanks to hurricane Wilma and have a 2.7K...

Alright, took the MSR-16 to the tech before ever even plugging it in. I asked him to look it over and let me know what he found. He found a tension roller that needed re-covering, uneven head wear so he relapped the record/play head, and two channels were reputedly having problems resulting...

Just plugged it in and ran my first ever reel tape. No recording, still have to hook it up to the board and first and foremost tomorrow buy a power conditioner, so just making the reels move. Cool braking system. Anyway, I'll post a pic when the camera is done charging. Yeah I know you've...

The 488MKII was, and still IS great. But we get bigger sometimes, as I did. So now I have a Mackie 24.8 and an MSR-16 (still at the tech and sent directly after purchase, but will return soon :) ). I have my small understanding of bussing, and I know obviously I have 8 busses on the board...

The MSR-16 I recently bought is at Amp Services in West Palm Beach for a look over. Tom there advised me it needs the following: Tach roller (which I knew...it was very sticky) $140 Heads relapped (they had uneven wear, excessive on one side) $220 Calibration $150 OUCH!! They come highly...

Cross-posted in the drum forum last week and no responses. Hope they weren't offended. E-drums may be taboo over there, not sure. Anyway, just looking to see if anyone else uses a DM Pro, DM5, D4, etc. and wondering if you want to share info on getting around the parameters, or what settings...

Just curious about how you use it and whether you get damned frustrated with that little display and page after page after page after page after...you get the point. I love the sounds, TD-10/20 maybe and ddrum only rivaling in MHO, but how do you feel about the initial programming with all...

My MSR-16 came last week. Snakes on the way then I'll hook it up to the new board. Anyway, I'm cleaning it and noticed the pinch roller was sticky to the touch. I know they are know for this, but how bad does it get before it needs replaced? No residue rubs off on my finger, but you can...

DM Pro kit, with the mesh heads, for my main drums. I play them "live" in tracking, but am getting fed up with all the shit I have to go through in screens to get the sound I want, and marginal at that. HOWEVER, bought the kit when I lived in an apartment...now I live in a house, but close to...

Just bought two snakes to go from my board to a reel and back. 1/4 in/out on the Mackie, RCAs on the MSR. I hear Neutrik praised quite a bit. Just wondering if I did the right thing in investing in the Switchcraft/Rapco as opposed to Hosa low end or making my own with Neutrik and Mogami...

MSR-16 on the way. Only dealt with a 488MKII so far. What do I need for a board? Any suggestions on connections needed. Tried "Other Equipment" forum but no concrete answers on what the physical requirements may be, as I have only dealt thus far with a 488 which does everything...

Sorry about the double

Stepped up from 8track cassette "studio in a box" to 16 trk reel...need a mixer now! [B]Just bought an MSR-16 on ebay. Have had a 488 MKII for a few years now with some decent outboard processing. Anyone know what kind of ins/outs I will need in a mixer to hook up to the MSR-16? I'm sure I...

Apparently I have a TASCAM MSR-16 on the way. Need to buy some tape to check it out when it arrives, as well to record once I get settled into it. I was told Ampex 456, and a couple of others. I don't know about numbers on tape and this it the first time using reel. What should I look out...

Or may from the capstan? Just wondering if you can tell by looking if a reel machine has excessive wear and what to look for?

Sorry to troll here, but how much difference will I hear between 488MKII 8track cassette and MSR-16 (or 8) 1/2" reel? Got my LXP-15 V2 and Pro VLA from advice here...any ideas on the difference between cassette vs. 1/2" reel?. My guess is it may be worth the $700+, and I am an alnolog fan...

Thinking about an MSR-8 or 16. Surprisingly, got the green light from my better half. Any thoughts?

Like my 488MKII and am love analog. Doing recording for myself only at home, and just got a green light to upgrade withing reason from my better half. If I bought an MSR-16, how big of a difference in sound quality and "thickness" might I expect between the two? Not going to be an upgrade in...

So I bought the Lexicon LXP-15 and love it. However, from good advice on this forum, I bought an upgrade kit on ebay, on it's way to me. It has the Version 2 chip, a "chip puller", and of course the V2 manual. I have never done anything like this, but hmmm....pulling a chip, how hard can it...
