    what do you think about the fostex B-16?

    I have a chance to get one + the remote control and sync box for $450. Good deal? I hear the E and G series is better. Assuming it's in great condition, I'm hoping to get a decent sound out of it. Yes or no?

    Dithering problem with soundforge 5.0

    I've got a 24/44.1K file, and I'm running the waves L1. I set the plug in to dither at 16 bit, and process. However, my file remains at 24 bit. What's wrong? Should the plug in process the file and bring it down to 16 bits? What in bejesus am I missing here??? should I RTFM? thanks.

    building Iso box for a D1624

    For those of you who own the D1624, you know it is a bit noisy. Since the panel can be removed and used as a remote control, I'm thinking of building a small box to put the unit in to kill the noise, out of my rack and on the floor somewhere. Perhaps a wood box with acoustic foam, nothing too...

    Problem with Joe Meek SC2

    Just got the SC2, and I've inserted it into my mackie stereo buss inserts. The soundfield is wider and the stereo image is nicer, but there seems to be some "holes" in the sound (phase?). Doesn't sound right - if you move your head between the monitors back and forth, it seems like the sound is...

    Ampex 1450 tape recorder?

    Anyone know anything about this ? It was made in 1969, 2 track 1/4 tape. Looks to be consumer oriented rather than pro. If anyone knows more about it, or has a link, it is appreciated!! thanks.

    2 channel mixdown deck

    hello, I'm in the market for a good 2 channel reel to reel. Want to spend $300-500, which will seem to get me an otari or tascam 1/4". What to look for? XLR I/O means better electronics? DBX noise reduction needed (although I don't see it used much for 2 tracks). Any advice appreciated!!

    problem with D1624 and midi clock

    Hello, I've got the D1624 setup to spit out midi clock. I've set the tempo and signature. Midi out into a roland TD8 midi in. I've got a drum song in the module. I hit play, and the song starts fine. However, when I fast forward the D1624 and play from another point in the song, the TD8...

    Wordclock and Lucid AD9624 - part2

    Hello, Didn't get a chance to hear the posted comparisons of word clocks, but went ahead and bought the Genex6. Does it make a difference over the AD9624 clock? Yes. The image, depth, and clarity are all improved, IMO. It's like the difference between ice cream, and ice cream with fudge on...

    stand alone HD better than software?

    Hello everyone, I just got a fostex D1624 HD recorder. Partly because of my dislike of the whole windows recording scene. Previously, I was using Samplitude studio V5.33 and Lucid AD9624 and DA boxes for conversion. The sound was OK, but something was missing. Now, I use the AD9624 with...

    outboard converters with DA1624

    hello, I've got an external A/D converter that I use with the D1624. I plan on getting 16 channels of D/A conversion, hopefully better than the on board converters. Has anyone tried such an arrangement? I'd imagine that outboard apogees would better the onboard fostex. But enough to make it...

    Adding word clock to Lucid AD9624

    Hello, I have the Lucid AD/DA9624 boxes. I hear talk of word clocks and wonder if clocking the AD to an external clock will improve the conversion significantly to make it worthwhile. Anyone done this test? thanks.

    fostex D824 - need some info

    Hello everyone, I need some questions answered, if you can help me out: I want to use external converters with it, and will use the optical in. Can it handle 96K? Can the adat I/O handle 96k? One of the problems I see is the fact that you can only record with the spdif digital input to...
