    Need a sync box that can do tricks!

    I got a Taxcam BR20-T, I want to do some tricks with it. I also have a fostex d1624 HD recorder that can slave to MTC. I want to sync them together, using the fostex as the master. So, I need to have a sync box that takes MTC from the fostex, and then translates it to Smpte to the tape deck. I...

    About to pick up an otari 8 track and...

    It's an otari MKIII 1/2" 8 track, in great condition, works great, clean heads, and comes with the manual and an alignment tape. All for $1K. Am I overpaying a bit? It was just checked out and given a clean bill of health by a tech, so that's a plus.... Are there any dedicated websites to...

    Mmmm analog...

    totally... Personally, I can't see how anyone could say digital sounds good. Yes, it sounds clean and accurate, but good? Digital is like a cake without frosting. Cake alone misses the point. However, good analog is 2 inch tape, really. I'm sure some will disagree, but IMO anything less...

    MIDI sync with Otari 8 track

    I'm planning on the 8 track, and want it to be the master when syncing to a fostex d1624. It's been a long while since I dealt with this - so I need a sync box, then I stripe track 8 with smpte. I take the track 8 ouput into the sync box? Or is there another connection that needs to be on...

    Need advice on inspecting an 8 track!

    I have a chance to pick up an Otari 5050MKIII 1/2" 8 track - he wants $1000 but I'm sure it can go down significantly. It's been given the once-over recently and he says it works fine. So, when I check it out, what specifics things should I look for? Obviously head wear, the wear on the metal...

    D1624 MTC problem

    I'm running midi drums in cakewalk via MTC from the D1624. Works fine, except when I punch in record. The moment it happens, there's a skip in the time code for a second or so and of course the drums go off beat. Is there some setting that can help out here? Any software update? anything...

    what do you think about the fostex B-16?

    I have a chance to get one + the remote control and sync box for $450. Good deal? I hear the E and G series is better. Assuming it's in great condition, I'm hoping to get a decent sound out of it. Yes or no?

    Dithering problem with soundforge 5.0

    I've got a 24/44.1K file, and I'm running the waves L1. I set the plug in to dither at 16 bit, and process. However, my file remains at 24 bit. What's wrong? Should the plug in process the file and bring it down to 16 bits? What in bejesus am I missing here??? should I RTFM? thanks.

    building Iso box for a D1624

    For those of you who own the D1624, you know it is a bit noisy. Since the panel can be removed and used as a remote control, I'm thinking of building a small box to put the unit in to kill the noise, out of my rack and on the floor somewhere. Perhaps a wood box with acoustic foam, nothing too...

    Problem with Joe Meek SC2

    Just got the SC2, and I've inserted it into my mackie stereo buss inserts. The soundfield is wider and the stereo image is nicer, but there seems to be some "holes" in the sound (phase?). Doesn't sound right - if you move your head between the monitors back and forth, it seems like the sound is...

    Ampex 1450 tape recorder?

    Anyone know anything about this ? It was made in 1969, 2 track 1/4 tape. Looks to be consumer oriented rather than pro. If anyone knows more about it, or has a link, it is appreciated!! thanks.

    2 channel mixdown deck

    hello, I'm in the market for a good 2 channel reel to reel. Want to spend $300-500, which will seem to get me an otari or tascam 1/4". What to look for? XLR I/O means better electronics? DBX noise reduction needed (although I don't see it used much for 2 tracks). Any advice appreciated!!

    problem with D1624 and midi clock

    Hello, I've got the D1624 setup to spit out midi clock. I've set the tempo and signature. Midi out into a roland TD8 midi in. I've got a drum song in the module. I hit play, and the song starts fine. However, when I fast forward the D1624 and play from another point in the song, the TD8...
