    Cascade X-15 Stereo Ribbon

    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...

    Low End Static

    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...

    Tascam Rack Rails

    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! :)

    Lot of 8 3-ft XLR to XLR Cables

    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 =...

    Tascam 22 - Low freq. bump questions

    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...

    Converter upgrade or no?

    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...

    Help with Tascam 22

    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...

    Joining the club - thanks for helping

    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...

    Need help going from ITB to a hybrid set up...

    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, Oktava MK319 (pair), More

    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...

    HD24 Ethernet, Please help

    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"...

    Question for RE20 users

    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...

    DIY Boundary Mic Question

    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...

    Oktava Omnis or Avenson's?

    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...

    Cubase Softclip Compressor

    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...
