thanks brian, i follow what was said above and i realize that the track order i listed wasn't in agreement with it. but, as i said, i recorded two full reels of 13 songs with tracks 5-8 as bass, kick, OH, OH. so, what i'm trying to do is figure out the best way to lay out the tracks alongside...

Would a reasonable plan for these tapes be to record the remaining tracks like: 1. Guitar 2. Vox 3. Backing Vox 4. Lead Guitar 5. Bass (already recorded) 6. Kick (already recorded) 7. OH (already recorded) 8. OH (already recorded)

I recently recorded bass & drums to 1/2" 8-track tape. Not knowing that track placement on the tape may matter, i recorded it like this: 1. Scratch vocals 2. Scratch guitar 3. Click 4. 5. Bass 6. Kick 7. OH 8. OH I've read that it's better to have your bass/kick tracks on the outside of the...

indeed... as always, measure twice, cut once. in this case, check your cables twice before posting.

I feel like an idiot... Here is my setup: TSR-8 outputs (RCA) into the XLR inputs on my Allen & Heath Mixwizard 14/4/2. When I plug a compressor (FMR RNC and RNLA) into the "Insert" jack on my mixer (using an insert cable snake) I lose all audio from that track. I'm going crazy. [Edit...

does this apply to a spring reverb unit like the Demeter RV 1? I'm thinking about buying one...

are any of the possible 1" 16-tracks able to be converted to 1" 8-tracks?

that's great news, thanks sweetbeats.... and if you're ever looking to sell that BR-20... :)

Does the BR-20 have onboard noise reduction like the TSR-8?

Not to highjack this thread, but since people brought up the Tascam 52, I was wondering: did Tascam make a two-track to match their TSR-8? (i.e. like the tascam 32 and 38, 42 and 48, etc...)? I'm in the market for a 1/4" 2-track and I'm loving my TSR-8....

Thanks for taking a look at that. I'm glad to know it's likely the computer or AD checking out than it's an issue with the 8-track. Any thoughts on the rest of the audio? There's a bit of background noise, which may be coming from my LXP-1 reverb unit. I have the Dolby NR on during recording...

I think that's exactly what it was. I just bounced it down again and saved it as a .wav file and it sounds significantly better (I played around with the mix a little too): http://www.anotherhundredmiles.com/Music/ahm-wearynights.wav There seem to be some additional artifacts now (clicks/pops)...

First track to analog.... Hi everyone. This is the first track I've recorded on my Tascam TSR8. I use a Bock u195 microphone through an FMR RNP preamp with an FMR RNC (compressor) and Lexicon LXP-1 (reverb) for the vocals and just the Bock/RNP for the guitar/percussion. The guitar is...

I recently grabbed a Tascam TSR-8 in very good condition for $300 + $60 shipping from Music Go Round (Music Go Round). They don't always have stuff, but it's a place to keep your eye one. They were very helpful and inspected the heads and sent me photos while I was in contact with them (I'm...

This is not the most direct answer to your question, but Masterdisk's Scott Hull (who's mastered: Sting, Bob Dylan, Steely Dan, Uncle Tupelo, and many, many, many more) is currently writing a series of article over at the Vinyl District about mastering to vinyl. He discusses the process, the...

I can't offer the expertise that most of the folks on this board can, but I recently found a Tascam TSR-8 for $360 and it's been a shear joy to use. Depending on what your requirements are, there are a lot of used mixers you can pick up at decent prices if this is the route you want to go. But...

We seem to disagree here. There's a difference between having a lot of compressors and pushing those compressors to the limit. I completely agree: always, always avoid too much compression, but I'd argue that for the inexperienced it's better to have compressors available during mixdown rather...

A couple things to add here. If you plan to do all the mixing on the your external mixer and bounce to 2 tracks, you don't necessarily need an interface that accepts 8 channels. A USB/Firewire interface that accepts only 2 channels will be fine (since you'll just be bouncing the stereo...

Thanks cjacek, I've been cleaning and will continue to thoroughly clean these machine. Thanks for the advice on the cleaning solutions and pads. The 911 I have on the TSR-8 is brand new, so I think it's likely a cleaning issue (the pops weren't there on the last few listens). I spent a lot...

Thanks for the support guys. I took all the rollers off and I believe this simple cleaning with isopropanol already fixed the squeaky noise issue i was having. Thanks! I have a digital copy of the TSR-8 manual, but it isn't the service manual. Maybe that's where the calibration details are...
