Yes, I have! I like it a lot. It seems to run better on my PC, and I'm glad that I can finally use 64-bit VST's!

Apples and oranges. Audacity is an audio editor with an interface that is comparable to software of the DOS-based Windows era. Mixcraft is a fully fledged DAW that is more comparable to programs like Apple's GarageBand, though with each new release, it continues to improve and distinguish...

Give Mixcraft 7 a try! I've been using Mixcraft for years, starting with version 6, and have no plans, or need, to "upgrade" to another program. For what I do, it gets the job done, and it didn't take very long to learn. Their YouTube channel (acoustica222) has plenty of videos you can follow to...

I've decided to sell my Optigan! Considering its age, build quality, and building materials, it's in fairly good condition, with the exception of a few scuffs and a minor burn mark. It is in the same condition as it was when I bought it. I am not the original owner. It powers on and you can...

That is for Windows 7. For Windows 8, I have to ask, "WHY ARE YOU USING WINDOWS 8?" Just kidding... Anyways, here's a link that tells you how to find the utility in Windows 8: What happened to Backup and Restore? - Windows Help

Click "Start". Where it reads "Search programs and files", type "backup". You should now see results. In the results, under "Programs", click "Backup and Restore". The Control Panel window will pop up and you'll see "Create a system image" on the left-hand side. Click on it. Follow the prompts...

https://support.microsoft.com/kb/166172/EN-US For those of you that don't like to check facts, and those that are still wondering whether or not Windows comes with backup software, Windows has had built-in backup software since the 90's, and because these operating systems were based on MS-DOS...

Thanks for the tip!

This problem is most likely caused by a missing e-clip, a.k.a. retaining washer, on the capstan. Without the e-clip, there is nothing is nothing to hold the capstan in place, resulting in the sinking phenomenon described by the OP! I hope this helps somebody in the future!

The problem I'm having is caused by the capstan sinking into the recorder, due to a missing e-clip, a.k.a. retaining washer, that's supposed to hold it in place. I ended up finding the post that describes the same problem...

Have you found a fix yet? I'm having the same problem.

Did you ever find a permanent fix for this? I'm having the same problem, and can't find any helpful info!

If you're looking for a Windows solution to GarageBand, I highly recommend giving Mixcraft 6 a second chance. In my eyes, it is GarageBand for Windows. That's what drew me to it. It feels similar, it's easy to use, and pretty easy to get the hang of (check out acoustica222's channel on YouTube)...

I sat down, one night, and figured everything out! Works like a charm...

Thanks, by the way! :thumbs up:

Let me rephrase that last question. Should the pinch roller be spinning on its own, or does the friction from the tape rubbing against it make it spin?

I turned it on, engaged the play switch, and pushed the "paper clip" with my finger. It worked! The take up reel spins, but I have another question! Should the pinch roller be spinning as well?

I can't remember if I ever threaded tape into it. I'll have to check again. I hear no motors turning at all when I engage the play switch, but it could be the paper clip looking switch! I'll post a follow up soon. Thanks for your replies!

Some time ago, I bought a Sony TC-277-4 from a thrift store. It powers on, but when I turn the switch to play, fast forward, or rewind, I get no response! What could be the problem? Is there something special step involved in getting the thing to work? Let me know! Thanks! Also, if anyone...
