You might want to research that. I didn't look, but I though you could do a repair disk on USB drive. Maybe the USB drive was too small?

It has a legacy mode selection that shows OBX, I think there are like 8 different functions. I am still "getting" to know the equipment. I do like I am moving a little out of the box. That part is fun.

Well, still early, but I have to say, nice to start using a synth that isn't in the box. SO far it has breathed new life into my tired mind. I have most everything working. I did switch from DIN to USB as it really is much easier with these new machines, plus my DAW (Ableton) recognizes it by...

Most disks post 80's used fat16 (I might be wrong on that) 8.3 type reading. It was not proprietary if I remember correctly. So, 2000's, other than MIDI 2.0 coming along, you should be good with the disks, but proprietary binaries might be an issue to TRs point.

Ah, you know Rob, you're right. I remember I had a sequencer named Ballad 2, Cakewalk was on the market, but ya know, had to pick something (I always pick wrong, I purchased a Beta VCR) . Lucky for me, I had a Ballad to MIDI converter. But I forgot about that part. Good call.

The 3.5's had a switch, the floppies had a tab cut out. To overwrite, if I remember correctly, you just put tape over the cutout. I think. I still have both somewhere, cause I don't throw away stuff. I think I still have a 3.5 drive, but no longer have the 5 1/4. I never had the 8's.

One thing you might need to research since it was a high end system, how he used the sounds on that equipment. The General MIDI only listed "general" sounds, so the equipment itself probably went beyond that standard. You might have to see if he left notes or something to say what...

Having started in the late 80's, I have a little experience in the topic (a little). Depending on the sequencer, they either saved the files with 16 tracks (10 being reserved for drums). That was a part of the "General MIDI" standard. You should be able to drag and drop it into any DAW that does...

While it is true that the tape runs slower, it seems since the heads are rotating that would have an impact on the sound quality. At least it was in my "uneducated" opinion when I used it. The tape movement was for motion, head movement for playback.

I never tried with VHS, just BetaMax. I recorded using the audio inputs to the machine, as to where it was recorded, I am afraid you are over my head as to where it was located. I had to assume on its own two channel track and I thought the speed was at least that of a reel to reel.

Welcome. I think you will find, what you know is still relevant, just a different format, as you have already realized. I am sure many of us can learn from your experience. Looking forward to your inputs. Sounds like you have some well traveled roads under your belt.

Really good recording. Nice instrumental. No mixing opinion. I get where Dobro is coming from, but I like the busyness. Great departure from the rest of the song. Maybe to Dobro's point, there are two parts to that, stripped part, elaborate (if that was done, I would do the stripped first as an...

Good production, I think to my ears it is rather on the bright side. I would tame the 3-6K region (I don't have a graph to look at the actual frequencies) but there are some shrills in the mix. More bottom I would agree with, that could offset the overly bright mix. Good production.

Hi, I see you are new here. Welcome. A couple of things. For mixing feedback, we use the MP3 clinic. Great place to get your mix as good as you can get. If you are asking if your song is good or not, well... None of us here (to my knowledge) are burning up the charts. But we can give decent...

Funny you should mention that Rob. I was listening to a recording, can't remember, but not a recent one, and they had used the same approach. Delay was on one channel while the dry was on another. I think this was done on Bob Segar's albums. Dry left, verb on right. I don't think it sounds a...

It might also be that you may need to mount the drives to the computer. Just in case Steen's solution doesn't work.

Sometime you get a bigger sound if you change the phase on one of the tracks. Chances of you recording so well that it cancels is so remote. But you might try that as an experiment.

Back in the 80's, I was using a BetaMax for my tape machine. I had a reel to reel, but the Beta tape seemed to play with higher performance and the tape was cheaper. At the time, it was just to record my LPs and make a "mix tape" so I didn't have to flip or search for a song on the LP. I always...

Pulled the trigger on the UBX-D, should be coming Friday. Based on some of the reports, mapping to MIDI should be straight forward, only issue I saw was how Behringer implemented MPE protocol. Hopefully that has been updated. I will let you know (if interested), how it turns out. Depending...

Or you could DI one track, Amp the other, or as stated just double track, or record two Amps and send each Mic'd amp to each side. Main thing here is, you will need two tracks, then pan in the DAW to taste. Not sure what Dave is going on about, but it is pretty simple, but it does require two...
