Are cassettes even back coated? I can't recall from all those times had to pull out the pencil, or fix that one mixtape . . .

The 207 is spoken for. Isn't sweetbeats hooking you up?

I didn't want to hijack the other thread. But the "logging tape" question has been making me think. Here are the published specs for several Ampex/Quantegy tapes. 8206: Coercivity 350 ±10% Oe (27.9 ±10% kA/m) Retentivity 1260 ±10% Gs (140 ±10% mT) 632: Coercivity 310 Oe (24.7kA/m)...

I have a reel of that still sealed! And it's already on a pretty Scotch precision reel. Bought off eBay years ago for some ridiculous low price. the guy had a bunch more and i snagged only one right as the auction ended. The rest didn't sell but he didn't relist!

Two thoughts: 1. that video is then compressed down to some kind of mp3... so I'm wondering how it really sounded. 2. Yeah, tape sounds better, while I mostly listen to 320kbs mp3s in my car and rarely my mid 70s hi-fi at home.... That said, the small amount of stuff I've actually recorded...

OT but the same thing happened to me, bought an Otari that was 1/4 track record (1/2 track playback) took me physically looking at the heads and the owners manual and scratching my head

Wow.

@sweetbeats I can't remember what these numbers translate to but: 8206: Coercivity 350 ±10% Oe (27.9 ±10% kA/m) Retentivity 1260 ±10% Gs (140 ±10% mT) 406: Coercivity 330 Oe (26.3 kA/m) Retentivity 1300 Gs (130 mT) 456: Coercivity 320 Oe (25.5 kA/m) Retentivity 1500 Gs (150 mT) GP9...

It is for the full case. (I, uh, bought a case...) I had exactly 7 pancakes. So it worked out for me.

Not affiliated with seller. Asking US$70 including shipping, that's US$10 for a brand new precision reel and case. https://www.ebay.com/itm/384951989163

Slightly veering OT, but one of my favorite new bands, Death Valley Girls, I believe recorded their most recent album on 2" 24-track. The lead guitarist is a Gen-Xer from the OG Seattle scene, but I'm pretty sure the rest of the band are a lot younger. Some of it I'm sure is the...

As an aside, it chokes a bit on guitar with higher levels of compression (which is consistent with many descriptions) but I'm using it with a Rhodes in bad need of regulation and it works pretty well ahead of a Behringer phaser.

Just a FYI for the masses here, I built one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Compressor-Professional-Guitar-Effects-Pedal/dp/B01D12ZWBK It's a straight DOD 280A clone. It comes with a 4558 opamp and a LED/LDR combo. I tried various opamps TL022, TL062, 1458, & TL358 and so far found the TL358...

Maybe software for composing or sequencing and then otherwise Hardware. If you can't afford vintage there's Behringer. Maybe somewhat disposable, but at 1/3 -1/10 price...

Anyone here using one? So just picked one of these up pre-modded. (More expensive tubes (!) and the Kenetek T4B) Always wanted an optical comp (built the EPFM one, but have never put it in a case) Just looking for input on setting it up. Haven't tried it out yet. The output meter has a +10dB...

don't see that as an option. Same thing happened at GroupDIY (which is worse there are actual "Build Threads" there) and Diyaudio

So, a long while ago, when the user interface was different you could click on a "print thread" or a "thread view" icon, and well, print an entire thread. That feature seems to have been 'Upgraded' away, with a prettier, but less functional interface. Any way to do that? It's a right pain in...

Upgraded firmware to 1.5. No more Trap Error! (Still having trouble with DX-Manager, but that's a different issue now)

I have a Kurzweil Mk III. I bought it to relearn how to play 22 years ago, and it had the most realistic action and a decent sound. I also have a Nektar LX25+ that's for farting around with on vacation and a M-Audio 61 something or other. That was to tide me over until the ARP gets back from the...
