I was in your situation a few years ago and while the 208 worked for this purpose they have all been price gouged to insanity. I bought mine in 2017 for 175$ and today they sell for $1000. Everyone is chasing a vibe i dont think really exists outside of their imaginations. Still they have a very...

So it seems a new development happened while i was troubleshooting. i had a Korg Dw6000 100v running off a step up down tranformer connected directly to the bay with one of the cheapo patchcables. dead quiet or at least no buzzing, My DR55 drumbox running off batteries was buzzing like hell tho...

its strange as it seems the buzz is mostly not present anymore at offensive levels with line inputs. I figured microphones shouldnt touch that patchbay. Its quite silly as the original idea was a bay for all my synths but then i thought i could have everything patchable. I can most likely get...

im going to try to get more detailed info going and try some better cables and remove everything. my apologies ive been very busy since making this post. give me a few days to run some more tests. I appreciate the suggestions a lot!

the cables arent causing the short and loud buzz its just the old sockets from the different ones i tried. havent gotten the old cables yet. should mention i have the patchabys velcro's together on top of eachother if that matters

Most likely some more than others? these bays are 30+ yrs old and some of the jacks seem a little finnicky

the noise will increase or decrease when the rca is wiggled on the jack on the patchbay. sometimes i patch into it and unmute my channel and get a loud RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH so i reseat it and its fine. the noise level can change depending on the position of the rca plug in the jack. no idea why

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082GV15Y1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I simply plugged an analog synth thats being sent through a reverb pedal to this device and into the patchbay or into the patchbay out to this device back to the patchbay. the mixer is 3 prong...

so using the ground loop isolator seems to be creating way more noise. where exactly should it be patched in? I have a line level source with noise FYI

Hello, I am trying to clean the pinch rollers and degauss my heavily used Tascam 112Rmkii but I have rather large hands and can only manage to get at the heads with a long q-tip. Is there some way to get the door off or put it into a play mode without a tape to get at the capstan and rollers...

It would fluctuate from channel 1 or 8 sometimes the entire first four channels or more. I got it to transfer a mix properly after a degauss and hitting the pinch roller with some cailkleen rbr. I think the reason this happened was that the mt8x has tape scrapers on each side of the...

I meant a line level synthesizer. so could you recommend proper RCA to RCA patch cables that arent going to create this buzzing? like quality ones? it seems that these cheapo cables are why i noticed the HOSA TS to RCA does not do this when its connected to the patchbay

Ok so i made a discovery testing this all out. Sadly im running a hosa TS to RCA into a RCA to RCA Female to Female adapter with a generic RCA lead into a patchbay and this creates noise. i unplug the leads to the mixer and deck and directly connect them to the instrument and still noise. i plug...

T Thanks again for such a good reply! i unplugged everything that wasnt simply the mackie CR1604 I/Os and the tape deck (right now its a 424mk3 as the yamaha mt8x i had patched up was acting up DROPOUTS AFTER A FULL SONG IS DONE SO ENRAGING!!!!! >:(>:(>:() anyways imgoing to trouble shoot more...

It appears i only have continuity between top and bottom RCA connections which would be the case for the half normalled config these bays are set up with. going to continue tracking and start unplugging everything but the deck and mixer and monitors and see what happens. The noise filter arrives...

Hello, i recently started using this head cleaner on my multitrack decks and i havent noticed anything but one of my decks seems to be having dropouts and im not sure its related to the cleaner but it got me thinking. What are your opinions on this head cleaners ingredients? The bottle lists its...

So should I take a continuity meter to each socket or wait on my noise filter and just start testing each device. I'll say the tape returns into the 8 channels on my mixer that one of the patchbays is setup for by default is noiseless.

Thanks for the reply Dave. The patchbays are actually all labeled on the front it's so messy because I'm running 2 8 tracks. A 4 track and 16 mixer inputs and 8 direct outs. How would I be able to figure out if the fostex and tascam patchbays are floating? Schematic?

Yes my mixer and otari have 3 but the mixdown deck and fostex deck and Yamaha 8 track are 2 prong

So I got 2 fostex model 3010 and 1 tascam PB32R to help interface 3 different multitrack machines with one Mackie CR1604 and my mixdown deck as well as have all my synths permanently wired. I figured since all the decks are running unbalanced RCA to the mixer without noise just fine I'd be able...
