Record the individual measures in whatever tempi you want them to be. Then, you go into the song record mode to assemble them into a song in Step Time. Say, for example, in Song 1, you have measures 1-20 at 120 bpm but want the next 15 measures to be at 150 bpm. The solution is simple: make the...

Hmmm, that IS strange... Is there already other material recorded on the other tracks, particularly adjacent tracks? (Could be crosstalk due to tape head alignment issues) What make/model keyboard is it? Does your keyboard make this sound on its own when you monitor through headphones? Are...

I thought this was going to another thread about proving the existence of time...

Welcome from Korea Welcome Yuhou! It's nice to have you here "on board," as it were. You express yourself very well in English. By the way, I'm an American English professor who's been living in Korea off and on for 7 years. I live near Pusan, which is where the recent Asian Games were...

That's what I thought. Thanks anyways, guys! Bruce in Korea

I have a ton of cassettes with jam sessions I did with a drummer friend back in the early 80s, and they've held up pretty well. As soon as I get the proper interface for my laptop, I'll be transferring all of them to digital. A couple of these tapes, however, were accidentally recorded with a...

Yamaha's 8-track cassette machines... Yamaha made two: the MT8X (3-band eq on tracks 1-4 only, etc.) and the MT8X II (3-band eq w/sweepable mids on all 8 tracks; phantom power, I THINK 2 XLR inputs, etc.). Both were comparable to the Tascam 488 and 488 MKII, and in fact tapes recorded on any of...

Electro-Harmonix Linear Power Booster The Second (LPBII). Not actually a distortion, but it does a great job of pushing the amp into distortion and often ends up sounding way better than a lot of regular distortion units. Bruce in Korea

A belated b'day wish.. ... from another Bruce who lives overseas. Hope it was well-celebrated... Bruce in Korea

Yes I bought the most recent version of that book a couple of months ago as well. Yes, the ads for the cassette tapes (not CDs) are still there, so I imagine they're still available in some form. I'll check the address and get back to you. Bruce in Korea

Hi again Chris. Bruce in Korea here. As I told you before, I have nearly the same laptop that you have (mines a tad more powerful). I still haven't gotten any sort of interface yet, and I've been wanting to get a US428 per your suggestion, but I've been seeing loads of very detailed complaints...

Okay, my bad :D I guess what I was trying to say was it's not necessary to have a guitar amp that boasted tremendous wattage in order to get a lot of volume going out to the audience at a live concert. Mic'ing up a decent-sounding smaller amp would do the same thing. Yes, the relationship is...

Someone once posted a link to an article that sought to dispell all the myths about guitar amps. One of the most persistant of those concerns watts vs. volume. In a nutshell, more watts doesn't mean more volume. Period. And anyway, if you have extra board channela available, you could just mic...

8-track cassette multitrack recorders Tascam 488 Tascam 488 mkII Tascam 688 Midistudio Tascam 238 (dbx) Tascam 238S Yamaha MT8X Yamaha MT8X II Fostex 380S (?) I've had the MT8X, and I still have a 488 mkII. Both of these machines were and are great for what they are. They're not digital, but...

I thought high bias and cr02 were the same thing...? Chrome, or more accurately chromium dioxide, and high bias are both referred to as "Type II" tape, which is what you want. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE METAL TAPE IN A PORTASTUDIO!!! This is also known as "Type IV" tape. It has metal...

Absolutely right, Sennheiser! Working around limitations is actually part of the fun. It definitely has drawbacks (tape speed, limited frequency response, the need to rewind, fastforward, clean & degauss), but people can talk specs till they're blue in the face; the proof of the pudding is, as...

If you want to record 4 mic'd sources at the same time, you'll need a couple of additional preamps, or... ...get yourself a nice affordable mixer like the Mackie 1202. It has decent mic pre's built-in. Otherwise, you're stuck in the scenario you've just outlined. I've got the 488mkII. You CAN...

Yeah, you can erase the entire tape by purchasing or borrowing a bulk eraser. It's essentially a giant electromagnet. Bruce

I had one I bought new in 1979. It was all solid black walnut w/satin finish, ebony fingerboard, and "Dirty Fingers" pickups. Played and sounded excellent. (I played through a 1981 Fender Pro Reverb.) Trading it in on a different guitar was one of the biggest mistakes I ever made. Mine was...
