Any good sources for reasonably priced new tapes? I'm looking for Sm468 tape to be exact... (please don't say ebay) ;)

...on my way home! I took a quick shot with my cell phone. They were closed but I'm going back to check it out soon! https://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g137/fredflinstone23/studer.jpg Not sure what model it is, but was nice too see a tape deck in the window. It was a hifi audio shop here in nyc.

I have a few tapes (that I purchased new originally) which really have some useless things I recorded on them a while back, nothing I will ever need. I was wondering if I erased them, I have a tape eraser...and reused them for some mixes-would I be losing much in terms of sound quality vs using...

This made me laugh http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/product/Rupert-Neve-Designs-Portico-5042-True-Tape-FX?sku=482649 Why not just buy an actual tape deck???

I don't know much bout fixing or diagnosing problems on tape decks... Unit is a Fostex Model 80 8-tracks on 1/4" tape. I was recording some demos and everything was fine with the recorder, but around day 3 of recording, track 8 simply stopped recording all of a sudden (no warning signs). It...

what are you guys using for de-essers? i need to buy a unit. something inexpensive (for vocals). also is it best to track with the de-esser, or to apply it during the mix after recording the vocals? also i track vocals using the RNC compressor.

I saw this listing locally and couldn't pass it up :) I'm actually pretty impressed with the quality, sound and controls so far, really much better than the 424 MKIII that I have lying around. Was wondering if anyone has any experience in recording/mixing with this? I know the basic controls...

I want to take a look inside, I think there is a problem with the capstan belt... I've unscrewed everything and am ready to take off the front plate, however, this guy is preventing it from opening... https://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g137/fredflinstone23/22-2.jpg Seems to be a locking...

I'm wondering what reverb unit to use through the AUX of my mixer. Looking to upgrade my Nanoverb, which doesn't have very many good sounds IMO. I've been messing with the Nanoverb for a while and really can't find very many useful settings. I need something simple to use, something that sounds...

double post, please remove.

Here is the situation, My PC has a whole list of weird random problems, and I am ready for something new. I don't record on the computer all that often (more of an analog guy), but I do have a Delta 1010lt and i use it sometimes for tape transfers/edits/etc. Now, I have an account with Dell. I...

Is the Delta 1010LT compatible with windows vista?

I'm in need of a mixer to use with my Fostex model 80 8-track & Tascam 22-2. Ive been using a modern Mackie, and the main problem is it only has 2 rca outs to send into the Fostex. So I can't record more than two separate tracks at a time with it. Here are a few things I need on the mixer...

I have a 1/4" 456 tape in one hand that I'd like to erase, and the Han-d-mag in the other. I guess I'm just asking what the best way to do this is...because I read here that the Han-d-mag will do the job.

I just picked it up, locally :) I didn't even really "need" one, but I couldn't pass the deal! It's sort of a fixer upper, here are the problems: -Needs a new rubber pinch roller. I'm not sure where I can find one that would fit. -Almost all the metal parts are a bit corroded/oxidized. The...

I'm considering "upgrading" from a Fostex Model 80, to a Tascam 38. I am happy with the model 80, but would prefer a 1/2" for 8-tracks and Tascam stuff is really nice-it would make a nice match to the 22-2 I recently picked up. I was wondering if any users/owners have any info or links. Or maybe...

A few of the LEDs don't light up on my Model 80 (closer to the top, +3 and +6 area). Are these fairly easy to replace? Where can I get the matching parts?

In just a few hours. I have been looking for a good mixdown deck and I finally found one in my area! I am wondering if I can check/adjust the calibration myself with the MRL test tape i already purchased when I got my Fostex Model 80 (21J303-A). I would really hate to buy another $100+ tape...

Can this be used to bulk erase 1/4" tape, or should I just get the Han-D-Mag?

I finally got my hands on a quality compressor (RNC). I was wondering where you guys are using these...I'm sure there's no "wrong" way, but is it more commonly used while tracking, or is it better to use this through my mixer during a stereo mixdown?
