    Mic pre/mixer advice

    Hallo again everyone, I'm about to purchase an Otari MX5050 Mk III. This is an 8 track 1/2 inch reel to reel. I'm going to be using this machine to record instruments individually, as I play each of them myself. Therefore I was thinking about getting a really good 2 channel pre, instead of a...

    One man band advice

    Thanks very much for all the advice so far everyone, The idea of an Otari is really growing on me - I've read nothing but good things about it. I do plan on being very serious about recording once I get my gear, as I spend a number of hours daily, writing music - so I can see the two going hand...

    One man band advice

    thanks very much you guys, I'm currently thinking that the Otari MX-5050 Mk III is my best bet. I'm still a little confused. An 8 track has 8 inputs, but I only need two at any one time. Are there any recorders that have two inputs but that allow more than 2 tracks to be saved to tape, or is...

    Learning more about Reel to Reels

    I read Jack Endino's Nirvana Faq last night ( http://www.endino.com/nirvfaq.html ) in which he states that Kurt's amp on Bleach was recorded - "Close-miked with an SM-58, recorded to Otari [ MX-5050 Mk III ] half-inch 8-track at 15 ips with no noise reduction." Is this a high fidelity recording...

    Do the M-series have "Ghost" pres.

    Do the M-series have "Ghost" mic preamps or are they just comparable to the Ghost range?

    I've picked my gear, now all I need is to get the right cables

    HI again, The M-series mixers have direct outputs as well as inserts for each mono channel; therefore each track can be directed to the soundcard using these outputs, and the ?Direct Pre/Post button? can be used to set whether the pre or post fade signal is present at this output. :) Now my...

    I've picked my gear, now all I need is to get the right cables

    Sorry tex, I'm still confused - i've never used a mixer before :) what do you mean by the "channel inserts" exactly. I'm totally lost when it comes to connecting the mixer to the delta 44(has unbalanced ins and outs, but accepts balanced) and sending from two of the soundcard's outputs back...

    I've picked my gear, now all I need is to get the right cables

    Thanks ang., What if you?re connecting a balanced input to an unbalanced one? Wouldn?t balanced cable be wasted under this circumstance?

    I've picked my gear, now all I need is to get the right cables

    Ok, I've decided on the following equipment - Soundcraft M4, Delta 44, might get Delta 66 for Sp/Dif... Tannoy Reveals, and a Shure SM-57. What cables will I need?? 1) Mic to Mixer. For the mic I will need a Male XLR - Female XLR. 2) Mixer to Monitors. The mixer has 2 1/4" balanced...

    Finding a set of cans suitable for me!

    I actually got the impedance wrong for the input jack on the mixer, its actually 40 ohms approx. I was confusing it with the output level...sorry about that. anyway, how does that effect matters.

    Beyer 250 250 V Beyer 250 80 - whats the difference?

    Hi, I'm looking at the Beyer 250. Just wondering whether I should get the 250 80 or the 250 250. I think the 80 and 250 represents the resistance (ohms) of the headphones. Why is that an issue? I'm going to be using the headphones with a soundcraft m-series mixer. According to the manual the...

    Finding a set of cans suitable for me!

    thanks guys, when you refer to the 'phones preamp, are you refering to the headphones jack on the m-series. My understanding is that u only need an amp if your driving a number of headphones simultaneously. So anyway, you think I should go with the 80's. I've asked this question on a few other...

    Users of the Soundcraft M-series and the M-audio Delta series, please help!

    Hi everyone, I'm thinking of getting a Delta 44 and Soundcraft M4 mixer, but am a bit worried that the output volume from the mono channel strips might not be hot enough for the delta series. Has anyone used these together, and had you any problems with them. The M4 also has a S/PDIF which is...
