This guy had the same problem but no solution was posted since 2016, sadly. https://www.tapeheads.net/threads/tascam-32-2b-capstan-speed.50061/

On the supply side, the pinch roller/capstan makes a squeaking noise as the tape starts getting squirrelly and then drops down from the play/record heads. This is new since I put it in storage last year (climate controlled). I have thoroughly cleaned the tape path (99% alcohol for heads, a...

Thanks, that settles that! I thought I was doing right but no matter how many times I read the manual, sometimes it confuses me and I second guess myself. I’ll keep going to the manual first before buggin’ you, so thanks for your help. I’m every so happy with my 520 and MS-16, they are such a...

Next question would be about the AUX switch setting PRE or POST? I usually have it set for POST.

Perfect! I’m already set up for all that with the MS-16 IN/OUT, you confirmed the use of the PGM OUT 1/2 and thank you for the AUX set to PGM too for the wet mix. All very helpful and makes total sense… it also means I’m “almost” getting it. You fleshed out the rest for the AUX and the best way...

I have been re-reading parts of this thread, trying to learn more now that I’m more fully using the M-520 with my MS-16. Man, so many ways you can set up the M-520 to work. I’ve learned a great deal from you and others on this thread. This (above) sparked a question: If I was wanting to take...

Thanks guys! Yes, @sweetbeats, that is what I was wanting to do. I actually just did a test where I recorded about 3.5 minutes of drums at 85BPM from my main master keyboard (Korg Kronos), that controls the rest of my MIDI synths. Then I recorded an arpeggiation on top of that and it never lost...

https://medias.audiofanzine.com/files/tascam-mts-30018-1-472946.pdf After reading parts of the manual, it seems like it would work, but curious what any of you here that have used the MS-16 know for sure before I spend $$ I use a lot of vintage MIDI synths and my goal would be to just make sure...

Nope, I gave credit to the original published writers of that song: Love of Mine – Stuff (written by their bass player Gordon Edwards). I used to play this song all through college in 1989 and 1990. It was so obscure, and the singer songwriter style I played it was so different from the...

It’s kinda funny, i’m so new to doing videos like this, not sure how to get better sound. After using this awesome equipment, mics, console, recorder, effects, etc. all of this video’s audio is recorded using a $40 podcaster kit I got at walmart with a little mic plugged into my iphone! the...

Just an option, I have plenty of tracks to work with, so I thought I’d do it. The mix ended up being mostly the U87 clone room mic, so you’re right and next time I may only do that. I’m wondering it it was Youtube with the distortion? I don’t hear any on my end. In the early part of the...

I really got lucky with some great gear for very little $$, but even luckier that I found this forum and great people to help me (@sweetbeats, @rob aylestone, @RFR). It’s not great, and I’m not too polished with making videos, so I missed a lot of details, my guitar work… well, it needs work...

Sorry, yes, it’s a ribbon mic. As I said, not very familiar with them, used to either condenser or dynamic, honestly. Good to get some experience with the ribbon and maybe i can understand it. I know the MKIII model is “active”, so it requires 48V like a condenser. I have corrected my post above.

I got the Golden Age R1 MKII non-active ribbon mic in today. I tested it briefly just with vocals. Take my quick review with a grain of salt since I have never used many ribbon mics. My only experience was using a pair of RCA 44s(??) for a room mic in front of a drum kit once. This one has a...

I just picked up a WA-87, WA-14 (AKG 414 clone) and a Golden Age Ribbon Mic. Haven’t gotten them yet but looking forward to trying them all out! The AKG P220 LDC that i’ve been using is like many new cheap condensers, IMHO, with a really crispy bright high end. I was fortunate enough to use a...

Nice! if I hadn’t removed mine to put it in my console desk, I was going to make black walnut ones for the 520 as well! Looks great and I love the way you combined the meter bridge

I made new black walnut side panels for my 388 The only things that appear to be wrong with my unit is a dent on the front arm rest that I think corresponds with the broken “glass” front of #7 VU meter. The meter still works and lights, it’s just missing the plastic lens. I have a replacement...

Hey @BeGrody Thanks! That worked and I finally got the signal I wanted through the MPA!! Outputs to patch bay nicely too.

You know, that’s a really good point! I’ll never plug anything into those rear inputs except mics and my main reason for wanting to use the MPA is for condenser mics, so I think I’ll disconnect inputs from patchbay, put some pigtails on it coming out of my console that I can easily plug a...
