Ok, maybe I got what I paid for this time. :( It's a Fostex B-16D, 16 track 1/2" tape machine. For those of you curious bout its features, here's the jist: One speed - 15 ips Dolby C NR (whether you like it or not, can't be turned off) 2 head design (making calibration of rec levels and...

I keep seeing people say that the M-300 series mixers can be hooked together. I have a Tascam M-308 mixer. Love it. So if I bought an M-308B, (with phantom power) How does it hook up to other mixers? Is that what the "Ext In" is for? Thanks! -callie-

My repair of that old beat up Teac 4010-S was pretty successful. It doesn't blow up anymore. :o Transport works great, just need some reel holders and I'm inbusiness. Just got one annoying issue: The preamp is EXTREMELY NOISY (as in, hissy). It sounds like there's 24 tracks of blank tape...

I'm trying to decide the best master 1/2 track tape machine for.....masters. For what I'll be doing, quarter inch half-track will work just fine. Balanced or un-balanced inputs, either way it's all good. I've been looking at some Otaris, Studers, Revoxes, any ideas? But here's another...

I keep hearing about how awesome TAPE COMPRESSION is, but how does it work? Every time I overload a channel my quarter-track reel to reel, I get anything BUT a pleasing "compression" sound, more like a grungy distortion that's most displeasing, and cuts out frequently. Just acquired a...

I recently acquired an old Teac A-4010S quarter-track, and looks solid as a rock. I cleaned it up, (it had been in storage for quite some time.) got all the junk out of the innards, needs new belts, but I powered it on to see if it...powered on. Looked good, but a polar capacitor blew a few...

I'm looking for a patch bay/setup idea, that will allow me to do the following signal flow: up to 8 mic inputs, normalized to mic pre's 1-8 on my mixer (which, by the way, I still haven't decided on.) Output of mixer channel to some type of connection/bus in Output of bus directly to tascam...

Hello, I was just looking for a nice 1/2" 8 track tape machine to work with in the future, and a trustworthy source told me that the Tascam 38 and 48, (and possibly other models in this "series") all have a major weakness in the buttons (?) He told me that behind each button is a thin...
