Looking at it further, it looks like you have to remove the screws from the XLR inputs, the clips that retain the jacks, the other screws at the back of the input panel, remove all pots and fader caps, then the screws at the front of each channel board which hold the frame on which each channel...

Ah! I see. Thanks for the quick answer. Any tips on removing the buss bar from the mixer panel? It goes right across the board and I'm afraid I might snap a contact by trying to pry it off? I remember the Tascam M3500 had similar buss bars but I think they only connected 4 inputs channels and...

Thanks Sweetbeats for looking. The part you listed says +/-18v max supply, whch as you say should be enough for the +/-12v of the 688, but lower down it mentions a minimum and maximum dual voltage supply of +/-7.5V. Do you think that may factor in to the choice of 4966 chips? I didn't realise...

I don't seem to be able to find any 4966 chips except on Ali Express. Do you think these are suitable replacements...

I recently picked up a Tascam 688. It was advertised as parts only. I had one in the past and wanted to try one again. Anyhow, after fitting a new belt to the unit courtesy of a great video on Youtube, I've discovered there is a problem with the metering /switching on Track 3. The unit records...

I hear you too, brother. Man, we are all in a reflective mood....must be the alignment of the planets...

I hear you brother.....

The wonders of the internet. I haven't been here in a while. With the 'pandemic' (the less said the better) and the loss of my father-in-law in the following July of this restoration (July 2016), looking back now, we seem to have drifted through the last five years. With my autistic son having...

Hi Guys, Long time since I posted as this last year has been a busy year with family commitments. Anyhow between all of that, I've replaced my computer (now has 64Gb RAM and potential for 192Gb). Why so much? I've wanted to get back into Cubase and mocking up orchestral stuff so needed the...

I've just finished the first round of slimming down my setup. I want to get back to the music and not worry about technology or drivers or anything else...... I'm just running the Fostex G24S in after getting it renovated. When I bought one of the machines, it came with a reel of Agfa PEM 468...

I'm looking for some advice. I've recently gone back to mastering my stuff to a Roland CD-2. I had one knocking around and now that I'm using the Yamaha O2R to mix stuff from the Fostex G24S, it makes sense to wire the CD-2 up to the desk's 2-track facilities. Anyhow, I noticed a CD-2 machine...

As I lust over a new digital mixer (Presonus Studiolive 32 Series 3), I came across this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yBtwLcByyU Really interesting... Al

If you've been following my threads over the years, you'll probably think I'm mad. I've setup various analogue studios, then ripped them down and sold stuff only to set up analogue studios a few years later. I don't think I'm mad. I've been trying to get the 'best' possible sound I can from my...

OK....just for Miro....pics and audio! Here's a quick recording I did (two guitars and two vocals) to check out the system: https://altruistica.bandcamp.com/track/one-of-these-days The M-Audio Sputnik mic I was using for vocals was playing up. I have two so I could troubleshoot through this...

If you've been following any of my current threads, you'll know I have a hybrid setup now featuring a Tascam M3500 console, a 24track 1" reel to reel (at present TASCAM MSR24) and an RME UFX convertor / preamp. I took some source material from an old Yamaha AW4416 demo recording (I haven't...

Just noticed that last pic was from before. The console now looks like this: Guess what,,,,,turned the mixer on for this pic and GROUP 8 has gone AWOL :laughings: I'm pretty sure it's because of the contact between the BUSS TRAY and the card itself. I'll get some of the stuff Miro suggested...
