I'm considering selling my Tascam 32 2 track reel to reel. It's never been out of the box. Well, that's not exactly true, I took it out when I bought it years ago to make sure that everything worked, then put it back in the box. The idea was that when my studio was finally together that I...

I've never submitted anything to the MP3 clinic before. Mostly for the simple reason that my studio space has been in a huge shambles for years. Well, I recently agreed to submit a purely improvised piano piece for a compilation on another BBS that I haunt. Since this required simply shredding...

Ordinarily, I wouldn't give Groove Plug a second look, but they are having a big sale on them, and I need instrument cables. Is this even a step up from Radio Whack? Are they on par with Live Wire? Better or worse? Thanks, Carl

What do you know about the Behringer Eurorack Pro RX1602 16-Input Line Mixer? I need a single rack unit on the cheap and at $99, this looks like it. I've been using a Korg KMX-62 for about a year. I bought it on eBay and it is starting to act up. So, I need something on a pauper's budget...

I have a SCSI Castlewood Orb drive. Has anyone ever connected on of these to a Fostex FD-4 or FD-8 (I'm pretty sure if it works with one it'll work with the other). Also, if you use an external drive (like an Orb or an Iomega Zip), can you connect the drive to your PC and transfer the...

How long have I been a member of HR? Since 2001 and I haven't been recording at all in all that time. My workspace had been in such a mess that there wasn't much more that I could do than practice. Well, being out of work since October has given me the time to get my studio workspace together...

Anyone know of anything that works like the Abersol stuff on its head? I'm looking for music with a solo or featured instrument, where you get to perform the piano accompaniment. Anyone? Carl

In my defence, I haven't employed a computer for recording anything just yet. At least not seriously. I want to start taking advantage of VST plug ins (they're just getting too cool not to incorporate). Is Cubase (and Stienberg products) the only software that supports VST, or has it become a...

I remember about a year ago that someone was spreading the word about some peice of hardware that was supposed to be the best kept secret in professional recording. You enter this into your signal chain or something and it makes all that you record sound like it was mastered in the best house in...

and it is the Triton STUDIO! This thing is the be all and end all of home recording for the keyboardist. It even samples audio tracks for real instruments and vocals!!!!:D Price is quite high, but considering all the gear that get's replaced by it, very reasonable. Oh, did I mention the...

Is this idea "sink" or "swim"? For around $400 you can hook this doohicky to your phone line and (as long as your fellow phone jammers have one too) jam over the phone through real equipment in real time at high quality. Supposedly you could colaborate on recording sessions in this way...

Because I've been using my Electro Voices as TV speakers for about 5 years now and it's time to reclaim them as the studio monitors they were born to be.;) The EV's weren't really suited for TV anyway. The crappy RCA's that I put in their place are much better. TV needs the coloration that...

I can't understand why the myth that MIDI is somehow audio is so pervasive. Where does the impression come from? Just look at the port. How would you think that speaker freindly signal comes out of that???? Why is MIDI (which has been around for 20 years) so misunderstood? :confused...

TDK DA-3826 $299 Philips CDR775 $349 Sony RCD-W1 Duel Well(!!!) $399 Tascam CD-RW4U $399 Fostex CR300 $499 Sony CDR-W33 $499 I guess I'll be getting something sooner than I thought. :D

Are the consumer grade audio CD recorders good enough for mixdown? I'm thinking about getting a Philps or some such to dump recordings to CD with. Of course, I'm only concerned with CD-R's with optical inputs in them. Carl

I don't know, maybe I'm missing something? :confused: :confused: :confused: It's just a box right? <click me> Carl

Does anyone know of any online audio demos of vocal harmonizers or interesting vocal effect boxes? (either hardware or plug in) I'm very curious to hear what these things are capable of. Thanks, Carl

At least for porta studios. I see the prices for digital studios dropping every month. Now you can get the Zoom MRS-4 for $229 (the same price as the Tascam 414 MKII). I think it won't be long now before tape cassette as a recording medium goes the way of the vinyl record. Anyone wish to...

It looks like another inovation for guitarists to enjoy. Is this another boon (like the Pod) or just a gimmicky peice of crap for the unintiated to blow cash on? I'm not a guitarist (even though I can play guitar, I don't do it well enough to call myself a "guitarist"), so I'm just curious for...

I just picked up the bass again after about three years (I play keyboards mostly, but I need to get my bass chops back) I forgot about the blisters, ouch. Here's to fresh calises!:p Carl
