I went for an experiment in downsizing as far as I could go. Recorded the whole band at once using just a tascam dr-22WL. The "mixing was done by placement of the recorder to the drums, then the placement of the cabs and PA to the recorder and adjusting the levels on the individual pieces of...

I use them as often as i can. All my 2" machines support 14" reels. An album fits on one reel easily at 15ips.

Hello Derek. Another metalist here. Fool around with recording and am in a band.

The biggest issue with those MCI s are as you have discovered, the shitty connectors used in them. One of my far past jobs was Maintaining a studio that had four of them, 2 24 track and 2 2 track. Never ending connector issues. Also the sync system to tie the 24s together was hell on my...

Thanks for sharing! Interesting read.

Yeah, get those model numbers up. If you are using the headphone outs there is a very good chance you dont need a preamp in the circuit. Get the headphone out of the yamaha to two channels of the neo line inputs. Start with the neo input trims set to about 12 o'clock (assuming the trims control...

Its rarely in the studio proper anymore. The all have storage facilities, at least that is my experience. Once you get in there you are golden!!!

Ampex 456 with the label across the bottom of the box (as opposed to across the middle) and all 499 is fine. I use only 499 in my little studio. Just uncovered a mother load of the stuff. I now work in Glendale/Burbank, there are a ton of studios around here. i explore at lunch. Latest told me...

Youd think if they put 15K into it they would have replaced the burnt out VU meter lights. Looks like a number of them are out (at least looks that way in the video). Cool machine, but if I were dropping 14K it would be on a late model Studer.

Well, it is a finite resource of those machines and currently interest is them is high. Keep checking eBay and your local online sales pub like craig's list for them, be patient and you will get one for a price you can be happy with. A month ago I was walking through a thrift store and sitting...

No and No. Those are both consumer grade stereo tape decks.

A porta-studio is probably a very good choice for you going into analog. They are well supported, perishable parts still being available. Its got the mixer built in. You can learn about and do multitrack recording, and mix down. You would be up and running with a minimum of fuss and bother.

There is a yahoo group dedicated to these and to a lesser extent the -24. They are indeed very difficult machines to work on. They rely completely on a cpu for everything. Those cpu's get their programs from EPROMs which now are so far past their use-by date that the machines are failing. If you...

If you look you can find a Mackie 8-buss for that kind of money. It will do all you want and more as far as connecting to your 8 track tape machine.

That is the mechanical Zero "0" Adjust for the VU Meter. It has no effect on the electronics or anything else, it just zeros the meter, which from looking at the pic needs to be done. But that is not your problem.

Hmmm. I can go all analog, hybrid or all digital. I'd offer that going hybrid cant be a bad thing. The hybrid people are using ALL of the tools available.

Actually this forum is probably a better place to post. The Tascam forum has everything including a lot of digital and not a lot of viewers.

Nice Rami. Its funny how you can form an image of someone from their online persona, and be so off base. Not at all what I had conjured up! Ive been on on the kit only a few short years and I am (again) reminded how far I have to go... :-)

dont show up for me either.

Vinyl is easy-ably recycled. But it wouldnt be like you could iron an existing album out flat and recut new tracks on it. It would have to be melted down and reformed for use, usualy as pellets for injection molding uses..
