I'm an analog newbie with an Otari 5050 8-track on the way in the next couple of weeks. I hope to use it to learn the mechanics, what not to do and all that, but eventually I'd like to use it for stereo mastering. I fooled with analog recording thirty years ago, but that doesn't count for much...

I was minding my own business, contemplating a pizza slice and checked my e-mail. There were three - count'em - three e-mails from my friend who owns the guitar store in town. He was going to have lunch with the Guild rep and learned the guy had a couple of Benedettos with him. So he brought...

How does this unit work outside of the short list of software specifically supported by Tascam? Is it a dead duck? I'm thinking about Adobe Audition 1.5 / 2.0 or Mackie Traction 2. Does the controller have a general HUI or Mackie Control emulation, or does that work only for specific software...

I'm moving my studio to an upstairs bedroom - small, but I've been promised that I can toss all the accumulated junk in there, so ultimately it'll be just for my music. It's a typical upstairs room in a small cape style house - 7' high in the center four feet of the ceiling (textured ceiling)...

Your attendance is MANDATORY! Some information here is also in the Cave threads, but this ain't a Cave thread and all y'all coming anyway! or something. Anyway.... Jamfest6 is going to be August 11 - 13 2006 at casa del fmmahoganyrush (AKA Tom) in Andover Connecticut with major appearances by...

I'm trying to find ways to integrate some of my stuff with a video project my wife has in mind and really don't know where to start. So I figure maybe a good place is to see how much videography activity there is amongst us. She's planning a documentary and has a few projects in mind beyond that...

I ran across an old Baldwin organ in a surplus shop; looks to be from the early 1950s. It was in an institution that recently closed and is a bit battered but not evidently abused. I couldn't get to it in the piles of stuff so am guessing at the model. A little image Googling suggests it might...

I used a band's 4050 the other day for live sound at a First Night performance. They have a bluegrass act and do the old timey choreography around one mic - they've gotten pretty good at it and the 4050 has served them well for a couple of years. Last night I heard all kinds of self-noise at...

Anyone familiar with him? I was wondering about the signal chain - he's getting an all encompassing bass out of an acoustic guitar, yet the highs are crystalline. Acoustic slide blues, east Indian instrument training and influences, generally open D tuning. He has a huge sound for one...

Sorry. It's been a long day. Carry on. :eek: :D

Anybody have this and run any signal through it? Does it actually do what the reviews are saying it does? I'm looking at one on ebay for my live rig w/ some chunky subwoofers.

Just checkin...

If you had your druthers, what do you wish you could find in a dulcimer that you can't seem to find? We're talking lap style, not hammered dulcimers. If we start with the idea that the sides and back would be laminated, the top solid and bound instead of overshooting the sides, and using...

Any idea what this stuff is?I bought a big plank of it as "rose de boise" and resawed it into sides and backs about ten years ago. The closest I can come to is some kind of Honduras rosewood. It's heavy and dense like Indian reosewood, closed cell grain, scrapes well to a high satin. There's...

The new floor model. Looks cool; a bit pricey. Anyone using it?

I'm just a glutton for punishment. 7-9 solo concert / Hot strings and Cool Tunes. All the good stuff -blues, gospel, swing, slide, all that stuff. Plus tunes written by Upstate Steve and Bob O'connor. All the junk you can do with an acoustic without creating splinters.

Lookit this. I mean, look closely. :cool:

Just checking to see who out there has one of these. It's an optical compressor with a maximizer circuit available. I'll be using it in a live rig, probably for drums or acoustic instruments, like a mandolin or guitar. Haven't plugged it in yet, though... Anyone mess with one of these?

Form the final rehearsal of Amahl & The Night Visitors - coustumes, adult and kis choruses, a real kicker orchestra, four opera singers playing parts and my 14 year okd daughter as the lead. I'm doing slight sound reinformcementand recording the whole thing. I am flat out exhausted and the...

I'm using n-track and am now building a DAW with a bit of horsepower, for a change. I'm thinking of moving to a different software platform and need something stable that will do the following: 1. Record signal easily from 16/44 to 24/96 2. Work with multiple formats of pre recorded signal -...
