I was wondering if any of you could help me midi up the keyboard I got for Christmas?... If I can't solve it I guess I'll just have to use in on the next all acoustic four track one mike Portastudio ep? :o

I've been thinking about doing this for a while now. It's been possible for a number of years but not really worth it until the 2nd hand price of these machines came down. With them to be had now in the $US500-$700 price range it now starts to get feasible. One midi cable later and they're all...

Digital video of an analog recording Digital video of an analog recording (just to keep Dodge happy about the post count here)... Here's one of the me's showing how much I don't know about this old Yamaha CS-30 synth of mine.... :o

Season greetings friends. I've had a lot of fun in '09 and it's been good to be involved with all you crazy cats. Here's the recorded output so far. I'm quite happy with all this lot... 1. "Fast Food" mono cassette one mike Lonely Few cassette recording in the rehearsal room on the Marantz...

Here we are with the last 'obsolete and unloved' all analog cassette media release for 2009 that I've just finished making. David Carter's live to two track solo album called 'Small Fires'. Recorded on the Revox PR99 and assaulted with various helpings of spring reverb and tape echo. All hand...

Here's a four tune ep I've made on my Boss BR1600 over the last few weeks. I've made them up after listening to a bunch of old T-Bone Walker 78's and kind of got inspired. Really simple stuff. They've all been made the same way in the attic with a bunch of cheap mikes and all analog instruments...

My recording buddy's wife was at their neighbour's garage sale. The neighbour said that there was some 'audio gear' that her now deceased husband owned that we might be interested in. $25 secured one of these... A '72-73 Sony TC-850 in good condition. After the deal was done, an elderly...

One of you Tascam cats might want to have a crack at this? Tascam-42-Extender-Card-Set

It's a bit bigger than my Nagra, I wonder what it'll go for... Ampex 351 If I had the room I'd probably have a go at it. :)

Seeing as we've been talking about this, and seeing as I've just stumbled out of another Lonely Few live to two track recording session here is one of the results. Fast Food - a song about how the industry has our best interests at heart... Recorded via the Studer 089 to the Revox PR99 two...

My fifteen year old lounge room cd player gave up the ghost so my studio one had to come down for household duties so needing replacement. I spotted two of these CR500 Master Recorders on eBay locally for half retail so I nabbed one. Today I hitched it up and burnt a couple of cd's on it. It's...

If, as the specs say, they are 24 bit AD, 24 bit processing and mixing and 24 bit DA then I suspect the .VR8's are 24 bit? Then maybe they are only converted down to 16 bit when output as a .wav or on the cd? :)

All the decibel and voltage stuff going on the the now closed thread about analog v. digital got me thinking about what was going on inside my BR1600. I knew it didn't have a +4dbu gain structure because it couldn't handle the output of my Revox PR99 tape recorder into any of it's inputs without...

In this study I found http://drewdaniels.com/audible.pdf the authors conclude that there is no audible difference between a high bit SACD and a 16 bit CD during playback as revealed in their long term double blind listening test. However, they do make this interesting comment early on in the...

And find a use for all the Behringer kit you've got lying about.... Here is a remote drive... It is connected to this old IBM PIII laptop... Which is holds media files of all my cd's and stuff and is connected to this sound blaster thingo... Which is connected to this old Berri...

Here's one I've noodled away at on my Boss BR digital portastudio in the attic over the last week. It's about a guy contemplating the fact that one of his old school kids' gang has made it as a big Hollywood star. I used the cheapest bunch of mikes I've got; some Behringer condensers and some...

Here's a version of a classic old tune recorded in 1959, probably direct to mono tape, with buckets of reverb on it. Any ideas as to how it was done?:) http://www.mp3.com.au/Forms/MediaView.aspx?MediaId=136322

As we know, "it depends".... Someone stuck a link up to this on another forum I'm on and I thought it useful enough to share. http://hux.com.au/Soapbox%20Items/World%20Audio%20level%20Reference.pdf You can save a copy to your hard drive like I did and have it available for reference. :) G

In the manual for my Revox PR99, it gives the following instructions for checking and adjusting the recording equalization: 1). Adjust AF generator to 12 kHz, 0VU -20db. Okay, I think I understand that, I check that my tone generator is outputting 12kHz, 0VU -20db using the voltmeter then I...

I've been ask for, and have provided access to, one of my recent orginal recordings to a high tech, digital economy, 3d gaming and animation company for inclusion on their 250,000+ registered user web site. And the tune they appear to want to use? The ultra lo-fi, mono, single mike, live to...
