Yeah, here's a pic of it. 8 separate reels, one track per reel. Optional ninth track transport shown in promo photo. Even comes with three people to operate the system. Not bad for $1995.00

Actually, I did notice this thing.

Don't deal with middlemen. Call MRL direct, tell them the machine (they know them all), tell them you need a test tape referenced to 250 nanowebers, and they'll sell you what you need.

......."For some God-only-knows reason, I've had no serious offers and so decided to do the eBay thing. Perhaps I'll have better luck that way "..... The pricing might be the problem. New Quantegy quarter inch 456 10" is approx 30.00 at places like Musician's Friend and most of the bigger...

Yes, the black sync switches on the head blocks are prone to shorts. Cuts the signal right down to nada in some cases. It's really a drag to sit there wildly clicking a bad one back & forth to get it to kick in. I recently finished transferring my entire tape archive of multitrack tape work...

I also play steel guitar (among other things) and have tried various things over the years to get midi to do steel work. The biggest problem of course is that the ear's clue to a steel guitar is the fact that two note or ten note chords involve some notes sliding up (pedals) or down (knee...

"Steinberg's website makes no mention of this." Our very own Nuendo and Cubase forums were buzzing when it happened. A search there will show the topic. An even faster reference is to go to google and type in the phrase ..."Yamaha acquires Steinberg"....that'll give you 8 bazillion links to...

Call Mat at Fostex and ask about parts availability. Call Jimmy at tech support at Teac/Tascam and ask about parts availability. Then, you'll have your answer.

Yes, but then Yamaha acquired Steinberg from Pinnacle. Steinberg's not part of this deal.

Layla 3g...in reality, that's 8 trs, not six...6 on the back, 2 universal on the front. The two on the front can be used as mic or line pres. I use 3 Layla 3gs on one pc and 3 Layla 24's on another. I use several Ai3's with each setup, giving me 48 analog i/o on each pc. All word clocked...

In a real big, totally sync'd system utilizing what you have, there are a bunch of ways you could go...which in order to eliminate confusion, I'll skip. To keep it simple with what you have, here are some options to consider... Option 1..... Since no standalone preamps, use a channel strip...

I owned an AKG Bx20 spring reverb for several years. I've heard most every spring reverb ever made and that one was always the nicest. It was about four feet tall and cost me approximately three thousand dollars new. It had a decay range of about 1.5 seconds out to about 4 seconds. I would...

The dbx 118 isn't a type 1. It's more of the "compander" family type of unit that worked on a different, much looser principal. 4 channels of Type 1's, even via a couple of matched stereo units, can probably be found for very reasonable prices if you check around.

I didn't follow the 3440 much and don't know what if any control signals it is capable of sending, but many actual "Tascam" branded dbx units could only go into encode/decode when receiving appropriate control signals from the machines they were designed to work with. Some of the Tascam dbx...

........."The track width on the MSR-24 is wider than the MSR-16...." That's true since the msr24 has an entire one inch piece of tape to use. And the track width on a TSR8 is wider than the track width on an Msr16 on the given half inch piece of tape. And in comparing one inch machines...

Here's some general info based on my experience... First of all, I still periodically use an 8516b, TSR8, MSR24 for tracking..sometimes..for tracking some things. Sometimes for convenience, sometimes when I need a fast capture method for a remote setup, sometimes because I get a sound I'm not...

The E2 was a half-track machine on quarter inch tape. Not a half-inch tape machine. If an ad says it uses half-inch tape, that's wrong. The E2 had a center time code track for smpte which further squashed the track width on that quarter inch tape, so I was never too sure it was actually a...

When you say "master" you're talking stereo, right? I've never seen a stereo machine that uses half inch tape from Tascam, Otari, McI or the other mid level manufacturers. Only multitrack machines. All stereo machines I've seen and worked with over the decades are quarter inch tape. The...

........have made a "test tone CD" from generating sine waves on Sound Forge (1K, 10K, 100Hz), and burning it to 2-minute long tracks on an audio CD. When calibrating the input levels, would it be accurate to play the CD, run it through a channel on my mixer setting it to 0dB on the mixer...
