I have no 1st hand experience with that machine but I'd check all internal fuses to make certain everything is getting power.

Like I said, try the procedure to see if it will work for you. I know for a fact that you need to do this before the BRC record function will work with any HD24. Use an empty track on your current project or simply try it on a new one. Try it with the BRC connected and on 1st.

Try the procedure I outlined on a new project to see if it works or not. There is still an HD24 group on one of the platforms as far as I know. Find it and ask them. I gave up on that unit because it was a pain in the ass to deal with.

You need to record a few seconds from the HD24 itself 1st and then rewind back to the head before attempting to do it via the BRC. I forget for exactly how long and whether or not the BRC needs to be off or totally disconnected from the HD24 before doing this. I also don't remember if you...

That wasn't my question. If set to auto input, the machine will automatically allow you to monitor a track up to the punch in point and then switch to the incoming signal once record is engaged. It can do this for digital or analog inputs.

Is the HD24 set to auto input?

Never heard about 3M 256. What were the specs? Was it also low noise/high output?

Operating level and bias are interdependent as far as I know. If you don't align for anything higher, the TASCAM units should be able to bias @ 3db over @ 10kHz. At elevated levels, all bets are off. BTW - This "Tape Saturation" stuff is sonic bull, IMHO. Nobody I knew wanted it back in the...

ATR tape @ 250 nW/m.

Are you sure about that? If set up for 250nWb/m, an MS-16 should be able to provide enough bias current. At least that's what I was told. Just because a tape can handle "+ godknowswhat" doesn't mean you have to go that route.

Set tape & machine up for 250 nano-webers per meter. That's what the machine was designed for. Anything hotter will just run you out of headroom faster than you want.

The tape more than likely has sticky-shed syndrome and needs to be baked. Tapes in that condition are very hard on the transport and can in extreme cases, destroy heads in one pass.

This mic probably needs everything replaced. Might as well just get another one.

The original TEAC head cleaner was not alcohol based. If the bottle is sealed, it should still be good.

Isomedia.com does mine.

Check your mouse settings to see if the update messed with them.

Long ribboned mics of that era are quite delicate and should be handled carefully. Shaking them will damage the ribbon as will being exposed to excessive transients or blasts of air. I'd find out the cost of having a pro fix it because if you get in it and destroy the motor, you'll just end up...

Why do you need to get inside? Is it not working? Steve Sank from Cloud may be able to help you as may ENAK, or AEA.

What DAW are you referring to?

I never use overheads in a bad room, preferring to close mic all drums and let the combined leak capture the cymbals.
