Sweet,
Glad your finally doing some tracking :) I listened to the mp3 and I would say this singer certainly has somewhat of an edge to her voice. Especially being that you recorded with those eq cuts in....you would think that would tame it. I'm not familar with the D6 but a lot of kick mic's...
Sweetbeats,
Thanks for the info. I never knew Tascam had made any spring reverbs :) So those are parametric eq's in the other rack...Cool. You never know when you might need a little extra eq on something but I'm sure you'll find the eq on the 520 very sweet. I loved my old 512, it was the...
Sweet Beats,
Beautiful job guy ! You done good :) Hey if I may ask what is that Tascam gear underneath the 520 and in the other rack is that some Tascam line mixers I see ? Good luck with the 520 !! Best Regards, Dave
Sweetbeats,
Thanks very much and your very welcome. I didn't want to bore anyone with all the details but I'm glad you enjoyed it. Hey I'm in the same boat. I have much better equipment now then I had then but still we're never happy :) I listen to some of my really old 4 track stuff and...
Sweetbeats,
Thanks for the compliments on It Aint Love ! The Fostex M80 was a 1/4 inch 8 track :) As I remember these players were excellent (they eventually got a small time record deal and put out a couple of albums under the name of Prophet) and that really makes the difference. The bass...
Sweetbeats,
Good luck with your M520 :) Hope you can find a power supply. I owned a M512 years ago. Bought it used around 85 I think. I loved it ! Pre's were sweet, eq's musical, loved the mute buttons on the aux sends, quality connectors, it was rock solid. I only sold it because I needed...
Acoustix,
I have used their service a couple of times with satisfactory results. In case you are not aware they were once the official Tascam east coast repair center. "Russ" the current owner and main technician originally was the facillities service manager when it was owned by Tascam. Good...
Sweet Beats,
I kinda figured you probably would have checked your tape path well as you have been very thorough with everything so far and not just looking for a quick fix ! :) That's a compliment. I'm not sure what the lifters are like on a 58 but the ones on my ms16 were not "really"...
Sweet Beats,
Sorry to hear your having a problem with RMGI 911. I'm paste-ing in a thread I had started a while back when I was having trouble with RMGI 911 when I first got my MS16. You may have already read it and if so just dis-regard this as perhaps your problem is not related. In my case...
Hi,
I have had a pair of ksm-27's for a while now and I like them very much. I originally purchased them with a pair of drum overheads in mind and they work well for that. I have used them on vocals and mic'd guitar cabs with great results as well. Don't think I ever tried them on acoustic...
I can second that. I have purchased a few snakes from them over the years. Currently I have three of their snakes between my console and outboard gear racks. Great people, great service, never had a problem. :)
Hi Everyone,
If some of you ms16 owners out there could lend me a little assist I would greatly appreciate it.
In the maintenance manual on page 7-11 (section 7-5-4. tape tension servo) The diagram shows four different positions (a, b, c and d) To me the "c" position appears to be...
Matt,
An AKG 414 is a great all around mic. I purchased a b-uls version (silver grill-black body) back in the mid 80's and I use it on pretty much every session. Any acoustic instrument, vocals, you name it. The silver grill uls version is not hyped so pretty much what goes in comes out. The...
Probably toss it ! :( If the rubber is sticky it's probably beginning to disintegrate. This sometimes happens with old rubber rollers. Sometimes using improper substances to clean them will accelarate the deterioration. You could send it to "terry's rubber rollers", he re-surfaces them as good...
Cjacek is right, It's a royal pain. They are soldered and generally require quite a bit of disassembly to get to. I remember replacing some on a 512 mixer I had as well as a cassette deck some years ago. Good Luck ! Dave
Nick,
TG stands for tour group. Mic's with the tg prefix are suppose to be a little more heavy duty to better stand up to rough use received on the road. That's how Beyer explains it. Anyway I have an older non tg m201. Got it used, love it. It's a great all around mic much like a 57 only more...
