    Has anyone ever had to replace the tape transport switches (play, record, FFwd, etc., etc) on one of these recorders or had issues with the hinges on the cassette lid? My son has been offered a 688 that looks pretty clean apart from possible problems with these two parts and I really need to...

    1/4" 8 trk--------1/2" 16 trk ???????

    OK Guys, In the past I have seen comments/references, the basic meaning of which was that the 1/4" 8 trk format should be avoided. Can someone explain or clarify the relative pros and cons of this format and why they may or may not apply to 1/2" 16 trk. Also, re the 1/2" 8 trk...

    Comments anyone?

    This is one of 5 demos we recorded at the end of last year by my son's band................there was never a final mix done as the band parted company with the drummer and bass player before I completed the mixdowns.........so there are things that would have been altered if I had continued. I...

    Guys, this may be a long shot, but I have a Yamaha CP-70B Electric Grand which has some damaged hammers and I'm hoping someone may know of a piano tech in the US that has had experience with these instruments. Obviously I would prefer to find someone with either a website or email address...

    Demo options........opinions please.

    I have been approached by a youngish female singer to help her get some demos recorded. She has a reasonably good voice and in the right circumstances, it is probably worth her while to submit a demo to some labels. Herein lies the "problem"............her original intention was to submit...

    Visual appearance........how important is it it?

    OK, this may seem a bit harsh but in todays industry climate, marketing (selling) an image seems more important than selling the music. That being the case, how important is it for a band and it's members to be critical of their own appearance.........including, style of clothing, tidyness...
