I'm new to the RTR world. I have a tascam 22-2. I've heard it works best with Maxell UD-35 or Ampex 407. My question is where to I buy this stuff (other than ebay), and how can I be assured that it will not "sticky sludge" or whatever, my machine. While I'm at it, anyone have a mnual they want...

I don't want to invest the money in an expensive one yet. I will be running my computer mixes out into it, and then back onto the computer, but want to experiment to see if this is my worth my time and money before dropping a few hundred. I guess a 2 track machine would be best as a stereo...

I've heard the odd comment on the preamps of some of the old consumer RTR's (like Akai) actually being quite good. Any truth to this in anyone's experience?

Ok, you've got your $200-300 LDC mic, and you've got your decent $200-400 preamp. You've probably found that you can get satisfactory instrument recordings like electric guitar, but that there is something that always sounds a little odd about your vocals. Even though people have told you you...

Hi, just got a new set of M-audio DX4's. They sound quite nice. I have noticed though that the vocals on a lot of mp3's I have seem a little in the backgound and washed out. Well, I think I found out why. There is a control on the windows mixer/volume control called "stereo wide". It was turned...

I play mostly for garage rock/melodic rock, vox ac30 clean/overdriven/distortion tones. Think something like Billy Talent, or maybe our lady peace. I actually don't have a shure sm57, I have a shure/prologue sm57 wannabe. I like it, and it usually translates the tones of my amp to my recordings...

Anybody have nay experience with these. Just picked some up off ebay for $120.00. They sell for 150.00 brand new? Any thoughts?

I'm looking at getting an Apex 210 as they are a good price at my local music store. However, I only have a Joe Meek 3Q pre which has 60 db of gain and is supposebly kinda noisy at the high gain settings. Are any of the other pre's more suitable for ribbon mics, like the dmp-3, or the vtb-1...

Can somebody explain to me the two outputs, and the mix input? The hookup diagram has one ouput going to a monitor system, the other output going to the recorder, and then the recorder going back into the mix input SO you can monitor both what's being recorded and what is playing back...

I am wanting to incorporate some of the sonic characteristics of Reel to Reel in my recordings. Would running an entire mix from a computer into a Reel to Reel, and then back to the computer (to be mastered or burnt to CD) produce favourable results in anyone's opinion??

Ok, I've got loads of questions. First let me tell you my plan. I do not want to forsake the convenience of digital technology. I want to record tracks to a RTR first and then import them into cakewalk. My simple plan is to record one track at a time (say guitar) while listening to the rest of...

and then going to a computer?

Hi, I just picked up a vintage grundig condenser mic. It has a 1/4" cord connected to it. I obviously will want to connect an XLR to it. What is the proper method for this?

If you have one you'll ship to Canada, I'd be willing to pay about $160.00 plus shipping. Luke

I'm going to buy a meek. So, please don't suggest anything else as I'm well aware of other preamps. I just want to get people's opinion of if I should go for the new 3q meek, or buy one of the older pro channels (vcq3, mq3 -actually, what's the difference between these?) Thanks!

Anyone ever had any experience with a vintage grundig condenser microphone, specifically, the gcm3, or gkm 17 (they're both the same)? It's a brown or navy blue microphone which is basically like the top of a lollipop suspended on a stand. I also read some literature and someone said it...

Does someone have experience with these (will be used for vocals). I know the Hamburg is based off of the U87, and the Vienna off of a C-12. I really don't the specifics of these two mics "comparitively" to each other. Any thoughts??

Wanting an all-purpose preamp for $300.00 or under off ebay. Reccomend me one from this list, or do a compariosn if you've heard both. feel free to suggest something else. The type of music I'm recording is something like Jimmy eat world, Our Lady peace, etc. The only preamp I've heard is the...
