Hey folks. This thing is brand-new. I used it once. I had another pair of figure 8's, then I bought this to confirm what I suspected: that Blumlein was not working for my particular application (location recording, mostly jazz - I have to get the mics closer in than Blumlein allows). In...
I have been given this item. Looks like this:

Hi folks.
I noticed on my Tascam 22 on very quiet passages that I was hearing something that sounds like static at pretty low frequencies. Like moving around in a leather chair kind of noise. Pretty far in the background, but audible enough to annoy me.
I tested a couple of things:
I...
Can anyone here confirm or deny that the rack rails I could purchase for a Tascam 32 might also fit a 22-2?
I always assumed no, since they are not advertised for it - but then I recently saw a picture of a 22-2 with rails of some kind.
Anyone? Thank you! :)
I decided to sell one of these. I have another if anyone is interested in a pair.

Eight 3ft mic cables. They were permanantly installed in my Alesis HD24 portable rig between the input panel and the mic pres. I have sold that stuff off and have some extra cables as a result.
These are decent quality cables. Not the best, not the worst. They all work.
$5 each x's 8 =...
Hey folks. So my Tascam 22 has been functioning perfect. All is good.
*Except*
The low frequency bump is pretty substantial, which requires me to do a significant amount of mixing while I'm monitoring from tape. Not a deal killer, but it creates a lot of unnecessary passes on my tape, head...
I'm going nuts trying to decide on dropping cash on new AD/DA.
Up until recently, I have been recording to my HD24 or Edirol R4 and dumping ITB and staying there. Now, I've been mixing down to 1/4" 2-track, so I need to make another trip through the converters. I've been using only a Delta 44...
So I received my 22-2 advertised as "excellent condition showing almost no signs of use". There was goo all over the heads, I assume sticky shed. Whatever - I clean it up. Heads don't look too bad, but they've been used.
Plug it in. None of the buttons stay in. Nothing turns. Press play...
Without this forum, I don't think I could have pulled together the information to start spending money on tape gear. Thanks.
I just won an auction for a Tascam 22-2. I'm not a total noob to tape, but my experience is limited to cassette 4-tracks (my first was a Fostex X-15 purchased over 20...
I would like to get out of the box for some EQ and compression needs. My thought is to mix in Cubase (I have SE), then send the 2-Buss out to some hardware (I'm thinking of starting with something like an Avalon 747 to have a Class A, tube comp, as well as some ability to high and low shelf...
Tascam 788 with CD burner, upgraded hard drive & most recent firmware. Kept in a case when not in use. A couple of cosmetic blemishes. Functions perfectly except the backlighting to the led display seems to change brightness sometimes. The led display is fine, it's just the backlight. It...
I have no idea what I am doing wrong.
I hooked up my new HD24 to a hub and to my PC. I put the HD24 in FTP server mode.
What do I need to do on my PC to see the files on the HD24? I have been searching everywhere and all I find is
"now you can use a browser like IE to access the files"...
Hi, I bought a used RE20 a while back. It seems to have really low output compared with other similar dynamic mics (like my Beyer M88). It also has a slight crackle going on, at least I think the crackle is in the mic - not the pre.
Should the output of the RE20 be really low? The thing is...
Since a PZM mic is simply a mic with the diaphragm roughly on the same plane as the reflective surface, it would stand to reason that an omni mic could be placed on a wall, ceiling, etc. and be a PZM, no?
If so, should the diaphragm be parallel to the wall (like an SDC pointing at the wall a...
I own several Oktavas and I like them. I am looking to add a pair of good omnis to my locker. I have one Earthworks omni that I love, but I have a special use for it (on my upright bass). I need another pair I can use at the same time. I was thinking about the Avenson's, then i thought about...
I have some other good comps including UAD stuff and Voxengo. I still come back to putting Cubase's own softclip on the master buss once in a while. It seems like it kills some highs and lows, but it gives a pleasant smoothness to some material that reminds me of tape compression.
Anyone...
Hello folks,
I have the following for sale:
Studio Projects VTB-1
I bought an SP828 that is filling my preamp needs. I bought it new about 2 years ago. It saw occaisional use, maybe once a month on average. I only used to record in my portable rig. It stayed in a case when not in use...
As of a few minutes ago, there were two RE20's with shockmounts with buy it now price of $250 each. I snagged one of them. The other will probably go quick...
