Beck thanks again !! My man!! Seems like a very easy mod. I am Ok with the soldering gun and I can easily get the machine back to spec. Looking forward. This is a very exciting forum by the way :) I appreciate everybody's input. But I do have to agreed with Beck the last thing I want is...

Priceless !!! Thanks Miroslav.

Hola Tim. I always perform good gain staging. I came here asking how to mod a particular piece of equipment. Beck did an amazing job showing me precisely what I asked. I am not asking how to properly record anything, however I am no expert. How can I upload a track on this thread? Can I? Lo...

@Tim I am very happy with the quality of recordings I am getting out of my Teac 80-8 but a little improvement goes a long way. For some weird reason I turn out better quality recordings when I track to analog tape. What should I do?

Blue Jinn, Miroslav, thanks so much. Beck I am speechless man thank you sooo much. This is exactly the info I was looking for. I am very happy with the quality of recordings I am getting out of the 80-8 but reducing the noise at source seems like a good idea. Replacing the op-amp seems like a no...

@Tim hey I think the sound quality might improve if I can reduce the noise floor of the machine all together no? Also I like the idea of staying analog and not going back to the DAW. I think reason enough for me. So do you know of any mod Tim? Salud!

Hey JP no I have not. I'll try soon.

@Tim Hey I know what you mean, but sometimes I like to use the tape machine as the main and only recorder not a tape efx.. Different work flow and one I do enjoy for some weird reason.

Hello fellas, Thanks for the suggestions. @JP all the caps originals as far as I can tell, but I can try to check and see if any need a good recap. I am trying to stay from the build DBX noise reduction. I believe the plug ins algorithm do a fantastic job at reducing the noise with little to no...

Hola, Once again I apologize for my English skill set. Ok so I have a recently serviced Teac 80-8 everything sounds fantastic however the noise floor is somewhat hight; even if I hit the tape hard you can still hear some hiss. The type of music is Latin soul nothing loud that could help mask...

Hitler !!

I have the Otari MkIII Tascam 38-8 and Teac 80-8 my favorite is the Teac 80-8. I am from NY so usually I send the machines to get properly set up in Teac/Tascam New Jersey. I don't know where you at but that's the probably the best thing you can do. I love my Teac 80-8 a fat sounding and very...

Thanks Alan I am going to ask the service centre. Yes makes sense to record a test tone at the beginning of evey tape! I am going to do this for now on. I am afraid there's no pitch control on the Teac 80-8 but what a great machine this is! I already made a cool recording 12 piece Latin Afro...

Almost 100 views and no response? Some one help me please. Maybe I can make a tape loop 30 inches long, record a sound and see how long it takes for the loop to come around :) It should make a two second loop.

Is there a way to tell if my reel to reel is running at the correct speed of fifteen inches per second? I recently send my tape machine to get serviced, all good, but now old tapes sound pitch slow. Sorry about my English I am not a native speaker. Anybody know a way to tell if my machine is...

Hello. Any progress? Did you get the machine to playback? I am fallowing this thread. Thanks.
