I'm an M30 user and advocate. I saw a Fostex 450 at the thrift store and was not impressed. Some people prefer Fostex but to me it looked like junk. Functionally the 450 is about the same as the M30, but I wasn't on board with the 'either A-B or C-D' buss assignment matrix, (if I recall...

It may be normal. Some Tascam Portastudios turn the capstan motor the entire time the unit is turned on. It varies by model. :spank::eek:;)

I'm here, just lurking. I didn't catch any flame wars or misbehaving here. I don't know what Beck was upset about, or if he's quit. I saw the Ghost... issue, but apparently his original moniker isn't banned! A clerical error or speed bump. ;) I try to catch new posts here daily. I hardly ever...

They were known as sock puppets. Though they weren't always benign. :spank::eek:;)

That's cool. Thanks! :spank::eek:;)

... Hollywood is an unusual case with many storefront surplus audio outlets as well as maybe dozens of small hole-in-the-wall recording studios with stuff in mothballs. That's says nothing of the surplus gear sold by private parties out of homes in the surrounding area. Pro studios large and...

... They'll both make good sounding recordings. :spank::eek:;)

... They both look fine. I'd buy both. You may come to use both units in combination within a short while, such as external track bouncing. I think the 244 has the better EQ, 2-band sweepable, vs. the 414's High/Low fixed EQ. I think that's a major difference in favor of the 244. The 244 has a...

... He's actually buying all this gear & hoarding it in his apartment. :spank::eek:;)

... Make sure you have the jumpers between ACCESS SEND and RCV patch points on each channel. If you don't, there will be a break point in the signal chain. If the jumpers are missing they can be replaced with 6" RCA/RCA cables (or any length you might have handy). Find new sets of (8) 6"...

... A design in search of an identity! :facepalm: :spank::eek:;)

A wonderful deck! It even has dbx Type II to harken back to the good old days! Makes your home listening/mixdown tapes pin-drop quiet! Dbx not compatible with the outside world, but that's nothing new. ;):yawn: :spank::eek:;)

... The Monitor section does not affect the Main Mix/Pgm Buss section at all. The monitor channel receives it's signal from the Tape when the Rec Function buttons are set to Safe or Enabled/Rec-Ready in Play mode. The monitor channel receives it's signal from the Input when the Rec Function...

Very nice!!! They don't make em like that anymore! :spank::eek:;)

Very nice! Why did you put the Portas in a 2-up fashion? They each deserve their own page. :spank::eek:;)

Dude!... Sweet! :spank::eek:;)

Much easier to find is... the Technics RS-B465. Very decent for the money. :spank::eek:;)

Wow! My very favorite cassette deck is the Technics RS-955! I have 3 of these, but for some reason they're a little hard to find. (1984) :spank::eek:;) Appropos of nothing - Technics RS-955 cassette deck - AudioKarma.org Home Audio Stereo Discussion Forums

I think... the Technics RS-B48 & RS-B50 (pictured) are quite decent and affordable. :spank::eek:;)
