So another update...after two weeks I'm finally back to transferring, and am almost halfway through the tapes now. I've noticed having trouble with channel 5 and don't quite know what to do about it. It didn't worry me at first because not all the tracks were recorded on--there are randomly...

Well, after a summer busily working at my new job with no time for transferring, I did finally designate a weekend to get it done. Unfortunately I ran into so much trouble that I spent the entire weekend troubleshooting, and blaming everything on the digital board and new computer setup at...

That's some good gear, I hope someone takes you up on it...

Thanks for the info, unfortunately I'm not nearly that far yet, still trying to get the computer to recognize the X32, but I'll check out the Behringer forums.

Thanks, I'll keep it mind. :) Lots of good stuff here, but I can see that there is no real definitive answer. We'll just have to see how it goes...

This really seems to be a case of damned if I do and damned if I don't. Thanks for confusing the issue. :thumbs up: But really, it would be nice to not have to bake nine tapes...argh, the temptation...

I'll keep it in mind, though $1000 does indeed seem steep to me, especially right now!

Thanks for the thoughts, Sweetbeats. As long as it won't hurt to bake non-sticky tapes, then better safe than sorry is the plan of the day. I'll have to keep my eye out for a Snackmaster Pro just to be sure. I did transfer 2 Quantegy 456 tapes which played fine (one more that I haven't...

Well, one little eccentricity about the tapes...the owner rewound them into their reels, they weren't stored tails out and weren't properly wound. I believe I need to take special care, right? Something about baking at lower temp for an hour or two, then have them wound properly, then the full...

Oops, I said Trident, didn't I? It's an Aries actually. :spank: Still nice though, it's 24x8x16 and the two have been paired together since the beginning, I'm told. I actually know nothing about mixers... The tape itself, I think has been living in garages for most of its life, but mostly in...

Well guys, I haven't been that active recently, I suppose that's my fault for not ever completing projects to be able to share them. Recently though, I've delved back into the tape world in a big way. A friend of mine has a Tascam MS16 that he's been holding onto for a while but not using...

Sorry to hear that the recordings never came together, and I'm sure it's hard trying to record an album on a Fostex once you've used an Ampex AG-300. It's a bit disappointing that we probably won't get another Magic Hero album, though hopefully you can still mix what you do have at some point...

Damn dude, that really is downsized! :O Out of curiosity, what happened with the Fostex? And what will the portastudio mean for Magic Hero vs. Rock People?

What a beast! I'd say you're off to a fine start getting the old girl up and running :)

Props. Also, nice score :)

:D I guess I was thinking of this: The leader in audio cassette tape duplicationCassetro | A division of Nation Audio Company It's what I did for my album, might be cool, though recording over used tapes at home is kind of an interesting idea, keeping it like the whole scratchy demo thing it...

GREAT job. I have a Tascam 244, and do the same thing with automation and multiplying tracks myself. I do all I can to keep it analog as long as possible, but I just don't have the capability to do all-analog mixes yet, and no money to farm that out either. You'll get no judgement from me on...

Are you sure your tape deck doesn't have a stereo RCA line out anywhere on it?

It'll be good to see a new Sweetbeats story thread :D Still, I want you to finish fixing that Tascam 238 so I can buy it off you!

Is this in any connected with Revox? I want to say that I remember someone posting something last year regarding them possibly bringing back one of their machines. As far as I can remember, Otari still sells the MX5050 2-track as well, don't they? Anyway this is still good news, a good start...
