    recommend me some affordable nice quality patch cables for a tascam 38 and a tascam m-512

    I was always told that it was high capacitance that caused hi frequency loss. The original TASCAM LO-CAP cable made a significant improvement over typical hi-fi shop/Radio Shack interconnects. HOSA was Fostex's answer to Tascam's cable and proved to be a worthy competitor.

    Tiny room (8x15') studio with terrible echo. Simple DIY fix?

    Not true. Hanging damping material on the wall weakens reflection down once. Away from the wall weakens reflection twice.

    recommend me some affordable nice quality patch cables for a tascam 38 and a tascam m-512

    I've used HOSA cables and have had no problems with them. They pass signal without high frequency loss and are very robust. FYI - I think you've underestimated the number of cables you'll need. And do yourself a favor by laying your 38 on it's back. The capstan bearing will last longer and...

    TEAC A-3440 Take up reel not strong enough?

    Bad tape with sticky shed syndrome most likely. Toss it. Clean you entire tape path and use newly made tape. Forget NOS stuff. It's a false economy that could possibly ruin your machine.

    How exactly does timecode work on F8n for post syncronization?

    Can you enter an offset on 1 of the devices to negate the difference?

    Sticky Shed Help Thread

    It's not just the "shed" that does damage. Sticky-shed tapes are extremely abrasive, so much so that heads can be ruined. Motors aren't too happy trying to pull that stuff either.

    Acoustically treating my home studio? (Pictures)

    Solid bodies would be considerably less problematic but all strings will sing under the right conditions so I wouldn't risk it.

    Acoustically treating my home studio? (Pictures)

    I would never hang any musical instrument on a studio wall because their sympathetic resonances would be problematic. IMHO, the areas to address are the floor, the creases where surfaces meet, and the window.

    Preamps. What mic preamps are you using? Discuss them.

    Tascam has never made a preamp I cared for. Good transient response was never part of their design.

    Preamps. What mic preamps are you using? Discuss them.

    Original Great River MP-4 with direct outs, original Spectra Sonics 101 w/502 eq's, Deane Jensen Designed dual-opamp, Great River MP 500NV. All are squeaky clean except for the NV.

    Old microphones

    The Sony C-37's & 38's are great mics. I was introduced to them in the 1970's. I prefer them to Neumann U-87's.

    20-year-old Tannoy Reveals - should I replace them?

    Are you getting good results when you mix with them? If yes, keep them. Otherwise, shop around.

    can anyone recommend 24 track hard disc recorder that interacts with 1995 analog mackie board

    I'm using RADAR 24s with my TASCAM 2600-32 with no interface problems whatsoever. Their old SCSI drives can be updated to solid state if desired.

    Latency/Drift $50 reward for fix

    I would try all of the following: Turn graphics acceleration totally off. Don't let windows decide performance. Click the "adjust for best performance" option in settings. Set Audition's compatibility to your previous OS. Also, use a different drive than whatever drive your os and programs...

    Tascam 2600m

    I have the 32 input version of this board. My only complaint is with the so-so performance of the mic preamps. They're quiet enough but are rather "soft sounding" due to poor transient response. Because of this, I use my outboard units for everything.

    Tascam MS-16 Isolation Cover

    How hot does the deck plate get while the machine is in operation? If it gets warm to the touch, I would not cover it up with anything. If you have a remote, baffle the machine off once tape is loaded or move it out of earshot where the mics can't pick it up. If all else fails, get some...
