Ok, thanks for the reply! So normal (type I) and metal (type IV) tapes will cause excessive wear on the heads, right?

Hi folks, I don't have a manual for my TASCAM 133 cassette deck, and there aren't any switches on the front for manually adjusting tape type or bias. So basically, I'm wondering if I'm supposed to be using chrome type II tape only (like in the portastudios) or if it's fine to use other types as...

I have an MX-80 rack mixer and would like to get phantom power connected. I'm curious about the experiences/thoughts/comments/etc. of other MX-80 users with this issue... Did TASCAM ever release a phantom power unit intended for the MX-80? Does anyone have such a unit or pics of one? I guess...

All sorted! I opened her up again and it seems the belt rode up on the flange of the wheel connected to the motor's shaft, causing the play speed to do funny things. I better aligned the belt-drive system and it's been working perfectly since.

Ok, so it turns out taking the thing apart wasn't that big of a deal after all... Getting the new belt on and everything back together was a bit finicky though, but it's all done now. I've cleaned everything and put it back together and everything "works" technically, but there is one new...

Ok, so I just scored a TASCAM 133 cassette deck off ebay for around $30 Australian. I got it cheaply because it was sold as having a problem: that being that the play button wouldn't stay engaged. Anyway, as I had expected, it turns out the only problem with the thing is a broken belt (as a...

Sorry, can't actually help you with the tuchel, but... is that mic the one that just went on ebay AU last week?...

Yeah, "polishing her knobs" will have that effect...

No?.......

It's this one for anyone who's interested... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=250148551527&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=015

I just bought one of these off ebay. I'm guessing it's just another one of those small, made-to-order brands that use Chinese capsules. Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone has any data sheets/response graphs for these things? The mic didn't come with any documentation and there's literally no info...

Ok, Cheers Herm! I'll see how I go!

Did some searching of the forum, but there doesn't seem to be much info on this mic out there. I'm curious if anyone has ever used these for drum overheads and how they fared? They're a cardoid SDC; some more technical info can be found here...

chance, Thanks for the ID! Have you found these mics to be useful for anything?

Thanks guys! :)

Hi folks! Just scored this one off the 'bay. There was no mention of the manufacturer, but it's a cardoid dynamic according to the auction. Is anyone able to identify this one? I haven't actually received it yet, so these are the pics from the auction... Much appreciated! Cheers, Ritzy.

Anyone ever used one of these? I'm wondering if such a mic would be usefull for anything; any thoughts/opinions?

:eek: You got a picture of that sucker?

Wow, thanks for the in depth response! :) As you've pointed out, both units are quite close feature-wise. I intend to use the machine to multitrack drums, and then dump the drum track to PC where i'll do the rest of the recording directly. So for this, both machines are more than adequately...

Hey guys, just a quick question... Out of the TASCAM Porta Two HS (High speed version) or the Yamaha MT4X, which is the better four track? I'm speaking specifically in terms of recording quality/fidelity and of the quality of the pre-amps in each unit. I already own a Porta Two (that's the old...
