Thanks.I'll give it another day before I bug him again.I've heard nothing but great things about his mods.

Anybody had mics modded recently from Oktavamod? I ordered a mod from them a couple days ago but haven't recevied shipping instructions or responses to my emails.Is he still in bussiness?

Sounds great! Cassette rules.

Hi, I just got a Lexicon Lpx 5 today off ebay.I'm using a Tascam 464 to record vocals and acoustic guitar with 1 mic.I'm not firmiliar with Lexicons,but I had a Midiverb many years ago.The reverb isn't what I'm used to,since I'm looking for more of a chamber type of effect than a delay.If anyone...

I didn't mean to start it,but this did provide a lot of valuable info from people with experience in this.

The 464 manual seems clear on this."The stereo inputs have no trim control so it cannot accept microphone signals unless they are preamplified." To me that means try your preamp in channels 5/6-7/8 if you want,but don't bother using a pre with channels 1-4 because you will be adding un-needed...

I the future I hope musicians will make all their money from playing live,or teaching.All recorded music will be free.

Yes.I read that before I started this thread but I'll have to read it again.It should make more sense now.As for the video/audio bussiness,I made a suggestion to BBS Feedback to have a board just for that.It may not be of much interest to many people right now but in the future I'm guessing it...

I decided to go with a battery powered phantom power supply.Something tells me I'm not going to be able to come to any conclusions about using a pre amp.A good mic makes all the difference no matter what setup you have. The big challenge now is figuring out how to get something to sound good...

Makes sense to me. I just checked those out at sweetwater.Any difference quality wise between them,battery powered or not?As far as the head cleaning I grabbed 91% isopropyl from the drug store.Didn't know they carried it.

I just got the 464 from the post office and got it going.Got tht manual today too from Tascam.Since my mics need phantom I'll be using the RNP pre I got a while back.It matches the Oktava mics(012,319) that I'm using.I'm blown away by the sound.I'm used to a Porta 1 I got in Japan way back in...

I'll give it a try when I pick up my deck tomorrow, but from what I've read everywhere it seems a waste.I do know from the little bit of digital recording I tried there was a huge difference between the sound of Shure 57 and 58 mics,and the sound of my Oktava mics.Night and day.Those and the 464...

Can the pre amps on Tascam 4 tracks(model 464) be bypassed in order to use an external pre and is it worth the trouble?

I'll figure a way to make it at least appear synced.I want to do songs for Youtube and I'm using Vegas Movie Studio for editing.If I'm off say,by 3 seconds for a 4 minute song I can possibly cut to another scene a few times to compensate,and delete or add to the original video file.It will...

I just grabbed the Behringer gadget from zzounds.Thanks!

It seems I'll have to experiment with this.It's no big deal.I was wondering about quality blank cassettes.I haven't been able to find any brand except Maxell hi-bias typeII 60 minute that is suitable for a 4 track. Unless someone knows of another brand I guess I'll go with that.From what I...

Another noob question.I asked a similar question on another board.Will there be a difference in sound quality between using an RCA to 1/8" jack to my laptop and using an audio interface such as a Firebox? It's coming from a cassette and it's already mixed.I don't need separate tracks going to...

It's been quite a while since I've had a 4 track cassette recorder so I'll be bugging you guys with newbie question for a few weeks.Is there a way to sync(record at the same time) a cassette recorder and a camcorder? I'm guessing not,so How much can I expect them to be off? I'd like to record...

Thanks.I'll check with them by phone on monday.

To answer my own question,I must be about the 10th person to ask this.Oh well.
