Hello, I know, old technology, but there's a method to my madness. Setup: 2.4GHz 512MB RAM, XP. I get distortion on playback when recording from both the analog and SP/DIF inputs (taking that from a DAT deck) The distortion is happening going in, as I exported to wav and checked it out on...

1. I just built a single sided G7 and didn't really pay attention to which transformer lead went where. 2. I have two Tascam boards which are both pin 3 hot so most mics I have are going to already be out of phase, (and one board doesn't have a selector to change phase.) 3. I do have a pair of...

Single sided G7 build.Schematic found here: (xaudia blog) Mic started out as a MXL9000 which I got a sweet deal on. Didn't have the PSU, and I had to take the capsule out for a MXL 2001 "BigUgly" so repurposed for a G7. I accidentally damaged the transformer I had (a Bv8...

Another one with a broken headbasket, and a jacked up shock mount. Shockmount repaired with a rubber band (the small bungy cord type shoelace had lost its bunge) This is a relatively simple mod: -Replace stock 32mm K67 style capsule with a 34mm K47 style capsule (mine were from WGTChina). The...

Yes. It's from user BigUgly at GroupDIY. I have permission to fab boards. It is the 5840 tube circuit with a G7 pattern switching scheme in front of the tube. The schematic is here: Here is my build thread...

Specifically, the ones on the left for reel size and speed. I have a bad relay on that circuit board. I have a parts deck and all the connections on the board are socketed so I can black box the change, but it's like the plastic parts are stuck on with some space age star fleet glue! Are they...

Hello, I'm not a drummer, but can keep time well enough for what I want to do. Kit is reasonable sounding "Percussion Plus" with a head and no hole on the front of the bass drum. Pedal is a little loosey goosey. Does it makes sense to run the bass drum through a (preamp first then) compressor...

Couldn't resist $10+$6 shipping. Mic was good and broken as the seller said. Headbasket broken off its base ring, capsule skin crinkled, and the base nut had a small sliver broken off. (How does that even happen?) Didn't even bother to try it out and went straight to gutting it. Transformer is...

Hello, Quick question, Looking over the calibration procedures, (Tascam 38)it say to connect a 50kΩ load. the block diagram has a signal generator - attenuator -(which I don't see the need for using the tone generators on the boards output a nominal -10dB signal) AC voltmeter - amp - speaker...

I have a thread somewhere around here about this microphone. Seeing if there is any interest in another run of these. Boards fit in the MXL 2001 body (should also fit in Apex 430 and several others). I did use the board for a single sided capsule. Here is the schematic...

I didn't want to post in this old thread which has specs for a bunch of tapes. https://homerecording.com/bbs/general-discussions/analog-recording-and-mixing-tape-and-gear/maxell-ud-35-coercivity-beck-235554/?referrerid=84801 It's my understanding that Coercivity relates to bias, and...

Hi again, Wanted to start a new fresh thread on this. I have a YTT-1144-2 alignment tape. The service manual references YTT-11442 no dash. The guy talking at the beginning of the tape says it's full track. But I can't seem to get it to -10dB on just about every other track. This shows the 1kHz...

It's late so I may be foggy: If I don't want to adjust the output on my board to a perfect .316v, and always normal 1-1&9, 2-2&10, etc., if a channel turns out to be off spec, is there any reason I can't just set 0VU on the board to equal 0VU on the deck, so that the meters match, and then go...

but it's a solid state HP, and it's been tested. So now I have an almost complete test rig! Wavetek 186 sig gen that will output a .316v signal, a nice Fluke 8050A DVM, and a Tektronix 2133 'scope. I have a 1/2" TEAC alignment tape. Need a 1/4" though. (The one I got is most likely sticky.) So...

Hello, Long story short, just want to do MIDI sequencing, so general MIDI is fine, once sequence is done, then use hardware synths (e.g. TX802) it's less work up front. Was using a Guillemot MaxiStudio, which actually worked great for this purpose, but I couldn't keep a Win98 box running, so...

Hi all, Been a while. Quick question if anyone has done the upgrade the VCAs to the Alesis? The mod calls for replacing hte VCAs with THAT2180s. However, AFAIK, the 3630 has trimmable VCAs. The 2180s are pre-trimmed. (Which would also necessitate removing a pot and a resistor) THAT 2181 would...

OK, There's a lot of folks over there (Tapeheads.net) that put car polish on sticky tape to unstickify it. :eek: Someone else has tried WD40 for the same thing, not only for SSS tapes, but for older non-backcoated tapes. I'm not about to put car polish or whatever the hell is WD40 (which for...

In very good condition, but missing the weird bracket hard mount thingy, otherwise complete w/ case and schockmount. US$140.00/ofr incl shipping in USA. EU/Canada PM to discuss.
