Funny, I probably never even noticed them...

+1 I'd go ahead and replace all the rubber parts, just to be safe.

Yeah, wish I hadn't missed that boat myself. Still, the good prices are out there if you're patient. :)

I've been trying out cassette brands that are still available, if you want something you can buy a rather large stock of, National Audio Company has BASF 771 tape that I really like. They say a minimum order of 80 cassettes, but if you contact them directly I'm sure they'd let you purchase a...

Thanks for stopping by. I also put out an album on cassette myself, it certainly is more affordable than vinyl, isn't it? I've got a friend who's crazy about mandolin too, I'll be sure to send him a link to your album when it's done :)

If only! Thing is, when CDs came out, they were about twice as expensive as records were, right? But these days, CDs are so incredibly cheap to press compared to vinyl, and people have caught on that vinyl really is the premium format. I know they can cost more, but $20-25.00 isn't that much...

Yeah, I kind of agree, I don't see the point in taking digital recordings and pressing them to vinyl, just seems like a waste. But since I record to tape, it's my hope that someday I'll be able to do all-analog mixdowns and get a lacquer cut. Takes money, though...

It seems all the sites are talking about vinyl sales being up 50% or so over last year. Still, there is a downside: The Biggest Music Comeback of 2014: Vinyl Records - WSJ

From where are you getting your info?

I'd be tempted to try getting at least one more person in the studio and recording as many parts as possible onto one track. Theoretically, it should be possible to record 16 distinct parts on the 244, as long as you don't mind the final mix being in mono...

I've been recording quite a lot with the 244 over the last year or so, and was quite surprised with just how good it can sound. My next project, which I'm working on right now, is an electronic album tracked entirely on the 244 using my Minibrute analog synth, mixed in Pro Tools. I've even...

Yup, I checked, just make sure you're going into the RCA ins where you take out the jumpers.

I've used a Shure M67 mic mixer that's been converted to 4-channel outs, that sounds pretty good but I'll tell you now that you won't get any more level than the preamps built into the 244's mixer. Am I correct in thinking that you want to take the jumpers out of the back and use the RCA...

Well, I guess Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska should be talked about. It's sort of a benchmark. Mike Uva recorded an album with an 8-track portastudio of some kind, and the album sounds great, I think: Lady, Tell Me Straight | Mike Uva

Gear **** Hey there. I know this isn't quite what you guys go for or what I've seen in this thread so far, so I don't know if it counts as off-topic or not, but since I haven't been able to share any of my recent analog recording projects yet, I thought I'd give you this: I was able to pull...

I've had a bit of difficulty myself with the 1/4" to XLR cables on the 244, I'd second getting at least one impedance transformer. If nothing else, it's another tool in your bag and I'll bet it'll come in handy at some point.

Yeah Sweetbeats, as much as I'd like to just snatch up all your gear, I'd hate to see you get rid of anything that you'll miss/regret, and can't replace later!

I'm guessing for the Echo Layla, it's a good idea to make sure it has the PCI card with it?

I thought they were basically the same unit, except that the 246 has 2 extra channels in its mixer section.

Funny, I just did the same thing myself on Wednesday. Gotta remember to record on "Cue!" :D
