    Syncing adat to PC

    No, the pc serial port doesn't carry adat signal. The only thing it has in common is that it has 9 pins. I don't know Ardvaark stuff but if the Q10 has an adat optical in port (adat 9 pin would be better but obviously the Q10 doesn't have that)..THAT can carry the signal AND clock from the XT...

    Way to synchronise 2 TSR-8's?

    Yes, there are two main choices. Both Tascam. An mts100 (midiizer) or an ats500 synchronizer. I have both that I've used over the years for various Tascam multitracks here. Either one is basically plug in and go for two Tsr-8's, which is nice. No big interfacing issues. You stripe smpte on...

    Tape baking problem (backing)

    ....."Is there something that can be done to stop the backing from flaking off at all? The baking has stopped the oxide; what about the backing?..." Yes. The American Harvest dehydrator. 40-50 dollars everywhere. I use the fd-50 (I think that's the model). Stops the black backing from...

    Blending Textures

    Be careful.... His next step is to ask where to get a render blender (and of course whether it render-blends at +4 or -10) and then how to un-render things into 24 transparent flanged frequencys (he likes to spell it that way) after he's already combined them on his render blender. That'll be...

    varispeed oscillator and speeds

    I think I read somewhere that the varispeed is creamier if you add two eggs.

    Air and Breath sounds for vocals

    Try this Walters. Grab a Mr. Microphone and jump out of an airplane. With no parachute of course. The parachute would ruin the air effect on the way down. You should be able to achieve that nice creamy squashed sound after a minute or so.

    Audio Spilling Spill compander

    Yes, dbx noise reduction units are compressor/expanders...companders. MXR brought out their little box in the mid 70's for this purpose and it was actually called an MXR Compander (I still have 2 of those little boxes). It was the same as dbx type II units without some of the high frequency...

    Frippertronics

    Walters....I see you received a detailed answer on this on Harmony-Central yesterday. I also read that you understood and LIKED the answer. And in the process, there were actually a few of us who got a link to a cool new free piece of software that many of us can use. Now, you OWE it to these...

    15 mics phasing and flangering sounds

    Fletcher's laughing at Walters inane stuff, but I don't think he'd like Walters knocking at the door over there.

    preamp Colours and Flavors

    Looks like all of Walters audioforum.com posts have just been deleted by the moderators over there. That's about six forums in a row according to the conversation I was just reading elsewhere. Probably due here too, don't you think?

    Tascam 85-16

    Thanks. I did give one piece of bozo information though. The 8516 dbx unit is a single unit and is the middle drawer of the three drawers you might see in pictures. I was typing and thinking of the layout of the older 90-16s. If I would've bothered to swivel my chair around to actually look...

    Ghost-need Immediate Feedback

    I just pulled open one of the 3700 power supplies here. Lots of stuff in there. There are approximately 20 pages in the 3700 schematics dedicated to JUST the power supply. Call Jimmy at Montebello and ask him what he thinks.

    Tascam 85-16

    I've owned new 85-16's and 85-16b's since they were first made over there in Montebello. The dbx units are not a bundled situation. They are integral parts of the machine, included with and shipped with the machine since day one. The factory dbx units (2 of them, 8 channels each) are the...

    Where are the tweakers on a Teac A-3304S?

    ......"Where are the calibration tweakers located on this thing? Anyone?..." They're on the inside back of the machine. When you take off all the cabinet parts, the pb/rec pots are on a pcb (which folds down on some versions of 3340/3440) right there about where the i/o rca jacks are.

    New Wollensack Multi-tracker

    Studer does periodic runs of 24 trks. They just did a run of them that were priced at about 29 grand ea ..a great price for that particular machine. I'm thinking of grabbing one next time they run a similar deal because I just can't tell how long they plan to continue. I'd really like to own...

    setup advice

    Boy did I read your post wrong on about every point. I thought you already have Pro Tools. If I'm ..finally ...undersanding the situation, you have none of the items you mentioned. I don't know if that also goes for the mixers/outboard stuff etc you listed. If you have nothing, you can...

    setup advice

    ...."I think you are misunderstanding me"... Yeah, I didn't catch what you meant by "putting it back into the 8trk". As to your asking for an opinion...from my experience, it wouldn't be very satisfactory. What you have is the original pure signal being recorded on the analog...

    setup advice

    ......Would it be OK to record 8 channels of rhythm tracks on the 8 track, mix down to 2 track, then put it back on the 8 track, or would I be doing too much transferring?...... I used to do this in the early days of the 70's with identical machines (two 80-8s, two 3340's etc). It saved one...
