Hey. The 24/96 is just the name of the card. And yes it can operate at 24 bits 96 khz, but that wasn't my point. Set up for 16/44.1 you would still get a cleaner, clearer signal with a decent quality soundcard compared to what comes stock in most consumer computers. My point really was that...

I think if you are going to buy something then you would do well to upgrade your (i assume stock) computer soundcard to something like an M-Audio Audiophile 24/96 which you can get for under $100 now. This will give you the flexibility of being able to use your computer for mixdown (and you'd...

hey, It's a 1" 8 track. The MTR 90's (mine's an MTR 90 II) came in one outfit ready for 2" 24 track but could be configured in several different ways. My machine has room for a 2" headstack, slots for 24 cards and VU's, they're just not used. My story: total amateur. i've been recording...

fo really. who cares about how you are going to get it up the stairs. there is ALWAYS a way. I had to slide my MTR90 onto its back to fit it into the back of an SUV. It was just myself and two dear friends. we used 1" plywood, blankets, rope and beer. Performed an alignment when I got it...

The MTR-90 is balanced...and as a bonus, it weighs well over 400 lbs! it's also pin 3 hot. --doris

Hi. I need to pay off some debt and fund some more purchases so I am parting with some stuff. Here goes: Monster 20ft Standard Mic Cables --(2) great shape. lifetime unconditional warranty. $15 each 12 18" TRS-TRS Jade Audio Patch Cables. $10 AMPEX 2-Way Monitor Pair--Nice well-made set of...

hi lou, the loc and mem functions are pretty easy to set from what i remember. loc1 is set by pressing the mem1 button at the desired point on the tape. same thing for loc2/mem2. so, the mem buttons set the locate points and the loc buttons move the tape to that point. make sense? so for...

do you have photos available?

yes, the heads on the machine are what divide the tape into "tracks". the tape is...just tape. the more tracks, the smaller the tape width used per track.

hi zobi, confused yet? i was in your shoes a couple years ago. i decided to use both. as you can see, everybody has their own opinions on this. here's mine. i think first you need to decide where you want to go with this recording thing. are you going to release your stuff? are you...

there was some guy selling nintendo controllers modded to work for the otari mx5050. just the basic transport functions. pretty neat. --doris

Thanks Ghost! A plan is in the works. I'll report back when I get somewhere with this. --doris

thanks for all the replies this turned into a nice discussion. regardless of how much i have learned here, i am going to have a hard time plugging the han-d-mag in again any time soon--especially if i get a new machine! i can intellectualize it all i want, but it will still scare the crap out...

wow, very interesting! after a thorough cleaning and another visit with the evil demagger i now get audio back on all 8 tracks. however, something is still screwy. track 2 bleeds on to 1 on an almost equal level. and a couple tracks are less full sounding than the rest (no bottom end). i...

BF,-thanks-for-persevering-through-your-handicap-to-post. i used tape head cleaner from RadioShack (isopropanol/ethanol/methanol). it doesn't actually say what the dilution is, but it definitely seems more volatile than grocery store isopropanol (60-80%). but yeah, every part of the tape path...
