    R2R newbie tape storage question

    I was told it has to do with print through. Im not sure I believe it or not, but...when stored heads out any print through comes through as a faint pre-echo of a loud part. When stored tails out the print through produces a faint regular echo of a loud section/part but its masked by the loud...

    Help my pick a board to pair with 80-8? I have three options.

    Personally, I'd make room for the 320B. They are well thought of and built very well. The only issue you may run into is deteriorating capacitors. It happens over time. If you are handy at all with electronics, they are easy to replace. You should be very happy.

    Tascam M 30 Analog Mixer Question

    The problem wasnt with the direct outs, it was assigning the line inputs so they could be heard.

    Mixing board recommendations for circa $4k or less?

    The presonus is not really a full on mixer if youre talking about the studio live versions (i have a 24 by the way). It is really more of an interface for the computer. Yes it can do live but in my opinion it was designed and built to work with presonus's DAW Studio One mainly.I have no...

    Is tape head degaussing a myth after all?

    I typed what I actually said. Dont need your interpretation, or your condescending commentary. Do whatever you like, just dont dog others who do it differently. Also I didnt see anyone here asking to do anything with your masters.

    Is tape head degaussing a myth after all?

    And I just went and dragged out the manuals for final generation pro tape machines from 3 different manufacturers that state "Clean and De-magnetize daily..."

    Is tape head degaussing a myth after all?

    The engineers who designed and produced these machines know far more about it than I do. I follow their recommendations. Somehow I think they wernt responding to a myth.

    TASCAM 34 play back trouble

    How long have you owned the machine? The first response from me would be clean the heads and the tape path meticulously. The fact that it doesnt erase is troublesome. Some of the erase signal is applied at the record head during program recording. Without it you will get weak recordings and...

    Why would I need something other than GarageBand?

    You are good to go with an interface. Which version of GB? That program started out really simple, basically best for arranging and editing apple loops. It has come a long way in the later versions. I keep v11 around for quick and fun recordings, even though Quebase and Studio One are in the...

    New addition to studio: custom made desk

    That is an awesome job of repurposing! Like someone said it remains in the family, if not as beds to sleep on, but now a bed for innovation. What a miserable tale on reel to reels. Sounds possibly like one of the fostex machine you describe might have been dealing with SSS tape. Keep at it...
