Assuming you are talking about converting analog XLR/TRS outputs to digital S/PDIF, you are looking for AD conversion. You could either get a standalone AD converter or an interface with a preamp and AD converter built into the same unit like the $99 Fast Track C400. Prices can be all over the...

I have encountered those same symptoms three different times, none of which involved a Tascam 22-2. One time it was a sticky-shed tape problem, but that does not sound like your situation given the tape formulas you are using and your repeated cleaning of the tape path. A second time it was...

If you had started your post with the phrase "Everything we have is in perfect working order" I would echo the comments about a good one- or two-channel preamp. However, you said your recorders have yet to be calibrated, so your first and best investment at this point should be to have an...

I have had my fair share of apartments and homes and there has always been a neighbor that has heard the racket from my guitar amps, drums, or whatever. I know because they have told me, sometimes nicely and sometimes not. I feel your pain. While your method is unorthodox and the comments about...

The hi-fi system example is actually a pretty good one to answering RAMI's question about 100% panning. If you have two stereo overhead mics above a drum kit, each mic records how that particular sound source IN THAT EXACT SOURCE LOCATION sounds to a listener or listening device (like a mic) IN...

I have a 1710W and can confirm it is a two-channel machine with quarter-track spacing as described in the prior post. In other words, you can record up to two separate tracks at a time, not four. Like many consumer units of that era, it only has two heads -- an erase head and a combined...

I see you are selling an OEM K47-style capsule. Who is the manufacturer or what mic did this come out of? Thanks!

All good answers so far about getting the sound from the rig and placement first before looking to doctor it up. But one question before you go worrying about your mic: is your guitar set-up ideal for what sound you are looking to achieve? You said you had a tube head and want to play extreme...

SOLD! Sorry for the delay in posting the sale and my apologies to those who thought it might still be available.

Here are two ideas helped me (and continue to help me) develop my songwriting: 1. Look at how you communicate with other people. Do you tend to say little and speak more with body language or your hands? Maybe then your musical communication will be less about words and lyrics and more...

I do not have my DMT-8VL in front of me, but I think you select all of the tracks for recording and then hit the cut/erase button. It will ask you to confirm the deletion and you press the yes button. That should erase the whole song, and you can do the same for each song individually if you do...

Agreed, and I think I should also clarify my comments for technical accuracy. A capacitor-to-ground arrangement for a low-pass filter like you mention will form a feedback phase-lagging network. Indeed, all filters produce some phase shift, which is how we end up with products like phasers. My...

Typically, a low-pass filter on a passive crossover network is a series inductor without a capacitor, is it not? I understand that we can offer hypothetical electrical situations back and forth for hours so I do not want to detract from or sidetrack this post. I only wished to point out that...

Passive crossovers typically use caps in series with one speaker terminal (and may or may not include one or more inductors depending on the circuit). Conversely, I am referring to capacitance between the wires and in parallel to the speaker terminals, i.e., across the amplifier's output rather...

Electrically speaking, this is a bad idea and risks blowing out your dad's receiver/amplifier. In addition to the obvious risks with undersized-gauge wire, any time you have more than one wire you have capacitance between the wires. With unshielded speaker cable, you have the small capacitance...

I agree with the other poster that this does not sound like a problem with your particular amp. Most likely culprits for feedback with solid-state amps like yours are bad guitar pickups (interior components could be loose or poorly isolated or insulated), guitarist positioning (standing in front...

Could you tell us what you think sucks about your current amp and what you expect out of your next amp? I have played that amp before alongside a bunch of solid-state and tube amps I own (including a Vox AC-15TBX, tweed Champ and tweed Deluxe, 1976 Marshall JMP, a Triumph Silicon Lead 100, and...

I forgot, I have also used Maxtor drives with my Fostex without problems. For your information, I checked the Fostex manual last night and it comments that the Fostex will accept any ATA (IDE) drives from the manufacturers listed as examples in the manual (Quantum, Maxtor, Western Digital, IBM)...

I have owned mine for a few years and I do not recall all the different drives I have tried. The ones I recently formatted included older 40-pin IDE drives from Seagate, Western Digital, and Quantum. To be completely frank, every single IDE drive I have tried thus far in my DMT-8VL has worked...

See my response in the other thread. Thanks!
