Here's another tidbit...I have a half-inch reel demo thing that Tascam distributed with the 80-8 in 1977. It has 30 minutes of multitrack stuff (drums, guitars, synths, voices) that you slap on the ol' 80-8 and mix. It's use at the time was more for selling Model 5 and Model 3 mixers than...

So Walters, as I understand the conversation here in your thread, there were twelve monkees..not just four. And the reason their recorded songs never really sounded very good is because they had no headroom and probably weren't using real fat resistors in critical places. Also, conventional...

............."The Wires are smaller and Traces and components are Smaller so thats the really really THIN sound............" Ah yes, I understand. Anyone know where I can buy some of that fat wire? Is it ok to mix "fat wire" with "really fat resistors"? Or do I also need "really fat wire"?

Yes, the world needs more "real big fat resistors". Hey Walters, have you also noticed that "surface mount" resistors sound slightly worse when mounted on the bottom side of the circuit card rather than the top. Why is this?

Part of the cost-saving process for creating an msr was to leave out the 3rd repro-only head. What you have is an erase head on the left and a record/symc-repro head next to it. 3rd repro heads are primarily convenient for alignment purposes and in the real old days, were necessary for repro...

dbx is built in to tsr8. Can be turned off or on. There are gazillions of opinions. Here's mine... Is there also an audio pc somewhere in this equation? If you're dumping those analog tracks to pc after recording, go with the tsr8 as it has a "marginally" wider, deeper sound than the msr16...

Only you know what kind of singer you are. But for the various types of singers out there here is the technique I've successfully used over the years to get a good, emotive, energetic vocal track- For great to decent singers- 1. Record the vocal track from top to end. Don't stop, even for...

........."So none of you regular pro audio masters know nothing at all about how to modify a console?..." Apparently not. Maybe try Gearlslutz...oops, you were kicked off there. Try Eq...oops, you were kicked off there. Try Audioforums...oops you were kicked off there. Try...

......."Won't this increase "floor noise"?........... I don't happen to believe that and I've never seen the numbers that support an increase. Ah, but that's just part of the never-ending forum debates about "floor noise" vs "standing knee-waves". I suppose the best compromise is to track...

....."Which resistors or capacitors should i change or do to my preamps in my console?"..... ---------------------------------------------- There's an effective mod for reducing signal path noise in consoles that you can do at home Walters. No parts needed. Just a pair of wire clippers. The mod...

....How do i record the SOLO function? ... ----------------------------------------------- Solo usually only works through the monitor feed, so the best way I've found is this- With your console hooked up to your monitor power amp in the usual way, take some speaker wire and solder a quarter...

PFL mean? or stand for? AFL mean? or stand for? SIP mean? or stand for? -------------------------------- PFL..."pizza for lunch" Push this button so that your console will know you're having pizza for lunch. At the appropriate preset time, your console will remind you that it's time for...

...How can i make a Isolated Wall between track 1-4 have a Isolated wall between 5-8 so it sounds like a WALL is from 1-4 that breaks up 1-4 from 5-8 how do i do this ?....... ------------------- Easy one. Record all your tracks the way you want them for your song. Once you've filled all 24...

What does the solo button function really do inside a console? Does it Isolate the audio track? how does it Isolate it? ----------------------------------------------------------- As mentioned, you've got the whole concept confused. During mixdown, at any point where a guitar solo or sax...

It'll probably be a rough combination to find nowadays, but I have both the Midiizer and the accompanying IF-1000 interface rack mount...which was designed to get the Midiizer talking to machines with no accessory 2 (such as 85-16's, ms16, studer, Mci etc). The If1000 (and IF500) would convert...

Yep, flip the tape's my vote..we used to flip the reel, record the backwards part to another machine. Then flip the first tape to it's first position, hand-rock the 2nd machine to where it needed to be, start both machines (one in record) and then fly the part back to the first machine. It was...

......"Are consoles just mixing desks the console doesn't record because u need a tape machine also with the console it seems to me that consoles are just preamps,eqs,compressors master fader circuit,bussing doesn't record at all need a tape mahcine also to record the music.." Yes, but they...

The Al Green strings situation was discussed in pretty good detail earlier this year on some forum-or-other by the mix engineer Terry whats-his-name. The strings on Al's hits were recorded in a real dry room. As were all the other instruments. Old studio pics show what looks to be mattresses...

........."How can i make my guitar tracks sound like powerfull distortion with a cd quality???..." Use creamy milky compressor with outputs for many cd quality. (uhh..sorry. That's just the way the question hit me.)

I have both. Analog..2,4,8,16,and 24 track. I also extensively use Nuendo, loops, vsti's. On some types of music, I don't notice a (preferable) "sound" difference after a quick test record to analog and digital...so I track to Nuendo which is way faster in terms of creativity ...not having...
