My live room (drum practice room) is only 12'X15'. I wanted to be able to record in there but as importantly be able to play drums at any hour of the day or night. The house has all plaster construction, inside and out. I first built plugs and semi-permanently closed off the windows. Then I...

Interesting, that machine has a different auto locator than mine. Image courtesy: Ghost of FM

Ok, just a calibration question for you analog type home recording enthusiasts. The basic question is: Do you or Don't you? More detailed questions: Do you calibrate your tape machines at the intervals called for by the manufacturer? Do you have your test equipment calibrated, scopes...

I've been fiddle fussing with my studio for about two years now. That seems like a long time, but I can see how this stretches into multi-year efforts.. If I could share anything of value with anyone considering this is: RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH. I started with a Mackie 8-buss combo (a 32...

2,500 dollars should go a long ways if you are willing to look at used. I wanted an ekit so I could play at home whenever I wanted. I came up (locally) with a TD-20 Roland. All Hart dynamics mesh "drums", chokable e-cymbals, road case etc. even some of the original rubber cymbals. total 2500...

Ok all you analog horders.....Im looking for the little emblem that goes on the head cover of a Tascam 38. Ive gone all through this machine and it is as close to a mint copy as one is likely to find. BUT, the emblems quite often fall off of these, as has the one on mine. I would like to get...

I wonder (out loud) how many get their studio up and running only to tear it down and start again. I'd like to think that I put in my due diligence in researching what I wanted to accomplish and how to approach it in a systematic way. But, the best laid plans of mice and men...... I managed to...

Hey guys. Looking for some information that this group probably has some experience with. Background. Ive been building my modest studio while simultaneously building the live room which also doubles as the practice room so I can beat on drums all night long if I want without disturbing anyone...

Here is mine. Nine piece, DW mainly, Ludwig black beauty snare. All Zildjian cymbals.

I came up with one of these machines over the weekend. Why? Cause I have a condition that draws me towards analog tape machines. It is a serious condition (with no known cure) as I have no reason to want or need a consumer multitrack. But there it was on craigs list "doesnt work, dont know whats...

Here is my main kit. Hard to get it in a picture. 9 piece. Double bass (obviously) double ride and double snare. I also have a Roland -20 kit with Hart Dynamics pads and e-cymbals, but I only use it for practice late at night.

Pretty much says it all. I need several of these things. What do you have? I can repair broken ones.

Forgive my ignorance, I want to run my tuntable into a couple of channels of my mixer (Mackie 32/8/2). Should I be using a dedicated phono pre ahead of the board? Correct me as required, but the cartrige output is unbalanced, and the low level board input (mic) is balanced, problem? And levels?

First, I know not very much at all about noise gates, so any information offered, will be appreciated. I would like to experiment with this in recording drums. What I would like to know is what should I look for? I'd like an analog unit. I dont want to start yet another "discussion" of A vrs D...

The second remote arrived this week. It was poorly packed by UPS in a box barely tall enough to drop the remote and base into. There was less than an inch between the top of the remote and the box. So when something inevitably got dropped on it it cave in the front face of the remote. Caved in...

Yeah I know that there is a forum for showing your studio creations, but Im here mostly for the analog only forum, so I decided to share my pics with the regulars of said forum. If a mod decides to move this thread, so be it.Forgive the pics, they are phone pics. The lighting hasnt been...

Needs to be complete with P/S and interconnect cable. Also needs to be euiped with meter bridge. Thanks, Mark

Which of those is the "more" standard these days to submit master tapes on? I ask because my 1/4" otari has developed transport control card problems. I need an extender board but they are going for more than I paid for the machine. I have an opportunity to pick up a very nice Sony jh 1/2"...

I'm adding a pair of loudness meters to my set up. My question is where to tie them in. My inclination is to tee them in at the two track mastering machine's input. But then I got to wondering if they should get tee'd to the two track machine's output. I guess its the same if the tape machine is...
