You don't show your location in your profile, so assuming you're here in the U.S- http://tascamforums.com/index.php?showtopic=14794 As far as service, a good first step is to call both Tascam and Fostex over here in L.A and ask them the situation with replacement parts for machines you're...

Using an ats500 or Midiizer (mts1000) as an example, you have 2 main choices for hookup if the scenario is two Tascam machines- Option 1. Smpte output from each recorder's track 8 rca outs...routed to the smpte master and smpte slave inputs on synchronizer. Then you also add an accessory2...

........"The MTC signal contains an absolute frame of reference which the second recorder can lock against....." Tape recorders don't slave to mtc or to smpte alone. A synchronizer uses the smpte feeds from two different machines in order to figure out how to control the motors on the slave...

I forgot all about those old 238's. I bought one new in 1985 or so to use to capture some live music for a project, then sold it soon after. As I remember, it had a pretty good sound considering the amount of stuff being squashed onto the poor little cassette. I didn't remember that 238s had...

I can't tell from your posts whether you have one Tsr8 or two Tsr8's. But, I'll assume for a moment that you have two of them and have explained below what you have successfully done with ONE of them while the other one sits over in the corner waiting it's turn to somehow get integrated into...

Tapestop. However I have no idea if it's available for Mac software like Logic.

.......from your blog.....Well turned out buying of the actuall recording equipment was one of the cheaper parts. Copyright fees for a 10 song album is 450 bucks, trademarking my artist name is 250 and cd manufacturing is at least 1,000...."...

Yes Walters, you always ask the questions we all wonder about.

A lot of ME's I use no longer have tape. I know five or six who have half inch 2 track. I only know a couple who have quarter inch 2 track machines for transferring into the workstations. There are so many Sonic and Sadie systems out there in the mastering rooms, that a lot of the guys prefer...

The Audiolines price is a typo mistake...I just called them. They're fixing it right now. I had to call them to ask because as a dealer...that price was lower than my dealer cost.

In your case, hum destroyer would work very well. Simply remove all the single coil pickups from your Strat (don't replace them with anything), and then plug your guitar in to the destroyer. Notice how much better you sound? Just about the cleanest distortion you can get. Or even better...

While I don't use the analogs as much as I used to, I l-o-v-e- my 85-16b now even after all these years. Same for my first version that wasn't a "b". I can't speak for a machine that's had twelve owners and fell off a truck somewhere along the way, but in terms of machines still with us...

Keep in mind that biasing for elevated levels..and pushing tape to get those extra dbs...assumes noise reduction units are turned off and out of the circuit. A Tascam integrated dbx unit is calibrated to work within it's specs up to -10 (0 level). Pushing above "0" level with dbx in the...

Three tape recorders...or at least two and then your third recording device to capture the resulting flange effect. Tape recorders 1-2...Same exact signal recorded on both tapes. With lifters defeated, hand align first reel so start signal is just at the play head. Do same with second reel on...

This topic question is confusing. It's like going to a Chevron gas station and asking the attendant for a list of engines the gas is rated to work with. The tape is simply tape. Reference levels for tape...any tape...are a function of what that hunk of wires-circuit cards-heads-transistors...

Bloomboy- Plug in the random words adjacent-track-bounce on google and you can do quite a bit of reading of how this affects all machines. It's just the nature of the medium. Owners from consumer formats to MCI users to..well even Roger Nichols comment on the issue. It's one of those first...

The 827 is still in production so simply contact Studer and buy the manuals.

This is the nature of analog recording. For bounces, A safety track must be between..ie..you fill 6 tracks, bounce to trk 8. Track 7 is the safety track. If it were a 24 track, same thing. Fill 22 tracks, leave 23 open while submixing to 24. Alternatively, you could fill 8 tracks and...

I've only seen it mentioned a bit on this thread, but it might be helpful to reiterate that test tape/bias calibration is the easy part .....and only one part ....of a full calibration. Over time, enough things outside the realm of bias get out of whack to the point where sound and tape control...

....."that recording was hell-on-earth in "the old days" should of been doing something else instead....." ---------------------------------------------------- Actually, nobody thought it was hell-on-earth at the time because there was no reference to anything else. Things are so cool now with...
