    Will Tascam MTS-30 MIDI Tape Sync work with my Tascam MS-16?

    Thanks guys! Yes, @sweetbeats, that is what I was wanting to do. I actually just did a test where I recorded about 3.5 minutes of drums at 85BPM from my main master keyboard (Korg Kronos), that controls the rest of my MIDI synths. Then I recorded an arpeggiation on top of that and it never lost...

    Will Tascam MTS-30 MIDI Tape Sync work with my Tascam MS-16?

    https://medias.audiofanzine.com/files/tascam-mts-30018-1-472946.pdf After reading parts of the manual, it seems like it would work, but curious what any of you here that have used the MS-16 know for sure before I spend $$ I use a lot of vintage MIDI synths and my goal would be to just make sure...

    Finally got to record using my Tascam M-520 & MS-16

    Nope, I gave credit to the original published writers of that song: Love of Mine – Stuff (written by their bass player Gordon Edwards). I used to play this song all through college in 1989 and 1990. It was so obscure, and the singer songwriter style I played it was so different from the...

    Finally got to record using my Tascam M-520 & MS-16

    It’s kinda funny, i’m so new to doing videos like this, not sure how to get better sound. After using this awesome equipment, mics, console, recorder, effects, etc. all of this video’s audio is recorded using a $40 podcaster kit I got at walmart with a little mic plugged into my iphone! the...

    Finally got to record using my Tascam M-520 & MS-16

    Just an option, I have plenty of tracks to work with, so I thought I’d do it. The mix ended up being mostly the U87 clone room mic, so you’re right and next time I may only do that. I’m wondering it it was Youtube with the distortion? I don’t hear any on my end. In the early part of the...

    Finally got to record using my Tascam M-520 & MS-16

    I really got lucky with some great gear for very little $$, but even luckier that I found this forum and great people to help me (@sweetbeats, @rob aylestone, @RFR). It’s not great, and I’m not too polished with making videos, so I missed a lot of details, my guitar work… well, it needs work...

    Is it worth upgrading to WA-87 or SA-87 from NT1A

    Sorry, yes, it’s a ribbon mic. As I said, not very familiar with them, used to either condenser or dynamic, honestly. Good to get some experience with the ribbon and maybe i can understand it. I know the MKIII model is “active”, so it requires 48V like a condenser. I have corrected my post above.

    Is it worth upgrading to WA-87 or SA-87 from NT1A

    I got the Golden Age R1 MKII non-active ribbon mic in today. I tested it briefly just with vocals. Take my quick review with a grain of salt since I have never used many ribbon mics. My only experience was using a pair of RCA 44s(??) for a room mic in front of a drum kit once. This one has a...

    Is it worth upgrading to WA-87 or SA-87 from NT1A

    I just picked up a WA-87, WA-14 (AKG 414 clone) and a Golden Age Ribbon Mic. Haven’t gotten them yet but looking forward to trying them all out! The AKG P220 LDC that i’ve been using is like many new cheap condensers, IMHO, with a really crispy bright high end. I was fortunate enough to use a...

    Tascam 388 Story...

    Nice! if I hadn’t removed mine to put it in my console desk, I was going to make black walnut ones for the 520 as well! Looks great and I love the way you combined the meter bridge

    Tascam 388 Story...

    I made new black walnut side panels for my 388 The only things that appear to be wrong with my unit is a dent on the front arm rest that I think corresponds with the broken “glass” front of #7 VU meter. The meter still works and lights, it’s just missing the plastic lens. I have a replacement...

    Balanced/Unbalanced patchbay questions

    Hey @BeGrody Thanks! That worked and I finally got the signal I wanted through the MPA!! Outputs to patch bay nicely too.

    Balanced/Unbalanced patchbay questions

    You know, that’s a really good point! I’ll never plug anything into those rear inputs except mics and my main reason for wanting to use the MPA is for condenser mics, so I think I’ll disconnect inputs from patchbay, put some pigtails on it coming out of my console that I can easily plug a...

    Interesting Microphones - less common mics - and tips and tricks

    I have the Electro Voice “twins”: “The Cardinal” condenser and “The Raven” dynamic mics that I bought many years ago. They are a beautiful design, I think Blue was responsible for the design of them. They are adequate, but honestly nothing special beyond looks and expected functionality. That’s...

    does anybody here have a studio in a 10x10 space?

    Thanks, it’s a common Virgo trait! ???? Clutter gets in the way of my creativity and I follow the danish design concept of “Hygge” for spaces.

    does anybody here have a studio in a 10x10 space?

    My studio is a 10x12 building. I have it pretty packed full but organized. One tip is to keep as much off the floor as possible and it will feel bigger. Definitely a one or two person only space though.

    My studio build

    That faceup sidecar was something I had researched online, found a few for sale, about $800 shipped. So I built that one for about $120 total (I already had the rack rails), and a few hours of work… so in an effort to save money, it was during it’s construction, drilling a 2.5” hole on the back...

    My studio build

    The top one under cover is a newly acquired Akai AX-80, it’s going to need some soldering to get the buttons working again, a known issue. Then a new battery, new eprom OS upgrade that will allow for MIDI sysex patch loading and it will be ready to put into action. I have everything MIDI’d...

    My studio build

    I think the wide angle lens makes it look like it's really way over there but the tele is just within arms distance since I use all the patch cables and patch bay easily over there, there's plenty of room to move around. It's just me, occasionally one other (usually my wife, hence the sofa...
