    A word of encouragement

    I'm not a tech, not by a long shot. I know how to use a screwdriver, open up something and blow the dust out, but not much more. Doing repairs scare me, to the point where I'm very tempted to pay a couple hundred bucks to have a tech do it for me. However, I just learned something: It's not...

    Is something up with Zonal?

    I don't quite think it affects me at all, living in Colorado, but I was just browsing and it seems that Canford isn't carrying them anymore. It seems Zonal does have their own eBay store, which I don't know how many tape stocks they were supposed to be making, but some of the tape they sell...

    Recording engineers - whom would you write about?

    So I'm supposed to write a biography paper on a recording engineer for my intro to sound recording class. The paper's due tomorrow, so I don't think I'll get any helpful hints before then, but I just wondered who you guys would write a paper about, if you were doing the same. I'm kind of...

    Can I get your expert advice on this Craigslist ad?

    TASCAM 38 REEL TO REEL I've been wanting a working multitrack and am always on the lookout for a good deal, just wondering if this might be it. It's real close to me, so I'd go down in person and check it out, just wanted to know if it's worth it. What do you guys think?

    A record pressing resource page?

    I've not pressed anything to vinyl, but I have put out a cassette. Here's how it worked for me: I used National Audio Company, and originally started the ball rolling at the beginning of this year (2013) when they were advertising a damn good price (149.00 for 100 copies professionally...

    A record pressing resource page?

    Greetings fellows. I've had an idea floating around in my head for a while now, and I think it's worth sharing. Back in April, I emailed Michael Fremer who writes for Stereophile and is editor of analogplanet.com about more complete information on various pressing plants. There is some good...

    LACRIMOSA - all-analog all-acoustic folk rock

    You guys are right, this does take more guts, doesn't it? Anyway, here it is, I'm finally putting it out officially. Recorded on Scotch 203 using my Teac A-2340RS tape deck, and I did everything myself (except for a little EQ/mixing on a song or two). I have cassette copies. Please go have...

    Debating Analog or Digital

    Grain is the price you pay for superiority. It's kinda like tape hiss ;) Anyway, I'll agree that modern HDTV is far superior to the old analog broadcast. Looks much better. Even digital-camera-shot stuff. Here Ghost, an analog picture of analog gear...uh...converted to digital...

    Trying to wrap my head around terminology regarding frequency response

    ...in that, I haven't found a good explanation to just how much signal any given tape deck can record. Can anyone help me out here? Here's what I'm having trouble with: digital records between 20Hz and 20kHz and nothing else. My personal tape deck is a Teac A-2340RS, and I think I read...

    Pitfalls of low-budget acoustic guitar recording

    Hi guys. Apologies if this is the wrong place for this post, but I thought maybe going right to the tape experts would save me the rhetorical "just why aren't you recording on a computer anyway?" questions. I've taken this just about as far as I can on my own, and so far I haven't come across...
