Unless that solo is just the worst thing ever (and it's not--I listened to it again), I'd keep it. It'll never be quite the same. Don't be a George Lucas! Good job on the mix. I'd buy a copy if you ever release it.

Wow, yeah I like the sound of that! Thanks for telling me, I just preordered it. :) Keep up the good work, I hope you'll keep us informed on anything else you're doing. If I lived anywhere near Montreal, I'd hit up the Bottle Garden for recording.

Indeed! I'm glad it went to a good home, then. Can't wait to see pics, and hear what you do with it! Hopefully, at the very least, that the machine gives you all the pieces to upgrade to 16 tracks. BTW, I love the Sheer Agony LP, I know you had a hand in mixing it (and the music video...

Perhaps not, though I don't remember any RMGI tape being any more than $300 either, and they come across the pond. Oh well, proud to be an American :b

Gaaaahhh....

Damn, that was a good opportunity for someone. There was one in my area (fully functional) but the studio wanted more than 5 times that, more than I can afford...

That's disgusting. Over here it's just over $300

Well I guess for that it might be worth $500. Must be nice to have that kind of pull then...

Didn't Bob Dylan just start recording to digital about 6-7 years ago? I guess he didn't like the experience much after all :D I'd like to know where the writer buys his tape from that it costs him $500 a reel, if that's for 14" reels, or if he's just exaggerating...

Glad to hear it was an easy fix, and that the voltage issue didn't end up ruining the machine!

What a score, congrats!

Lovely machine. I still want one!

I've seen them go in my area for $350-400, but it's always been when I'm all the way out of cash :\ Beagle, congrats on the new mixer, and I'm happy you have a working 8-track machine as well!

Nice. I remember posting something a while back about pressing plants facing so much demand that they're turning people away. Looking at nearly all the plants' websites I can find, they are indeed in backorder status right now, so more plants around can only help! :)

I would think you're gonna want at least a 4-channel interface

I bought one of these myself, might be helpful for you: 8 Channel Cable Snake RCA to 1 4 inch 6 5 Feet | eBay

I think portability really helped it survive as a format. Have you read this article? Cassette Revolution: Why 1980s Tape Tech Is Still Making Noise in Our Digital World | Collectors Weekly Really interesting stuff :)

Nice! I'm glad you went back to 1/2" 4-track, I think you were doing some pretty cool stuff there with the Sesame Street song and didn't really dig as deep as you could into that. I remember seeing a pic of that mixer on your FB feed, wondered what it was, now I know! Are you going back to...

Wait, I just found this one! Maybe if you keep the other one and combine it with this one you'll have a complete working unit Fostex R8 8 Track Reel to Reel for Parts | eBay :\

Man, I'm sorry you've been having so much trouble trying to get an 8-track! And it breaks my heart to see yet another wonderful tape recorder destroyed through incompetent packing and rough handling. I'm getting leery about shipping anything, ever.
