Been into the analog about 4 months now, however a slow process to get up and running. started with getting the deck (TSR8) one of the arm sensors was broken off so got that fixed, then the ATR tape that took a while to get, was shedding like mad, realised not the right tape, thanks to folk on...

nice stuff Its a shame you lost interest...i hope that never happens to me...

Sony. Ive heard similar stories of people dealing with Sony. thats a shame bro...oh well you got a good deck now...

decks im yet to find out if the TSR8 is up to scratch, but as ive got nothing to gauge it by, im sure il love it..just waiting on a roller repair job then hopefully she´ll be all go!!!

I didnt think they would do it but im pleased to announce Tascam are sending me an old old manual to Australia! hallelujah!!

exams I stayed at school only to play music thus when exam time came around i stayed the compulsory 30 minutes then left to tend to my plants down the bush. no regrets. i have a great job, love life , well travelled. a successful drop out... oh you mean tape drop out. i get that too. think its...

matresses I bought a whole pile of foam too and it doesnt really do jack for unwanted noises. Im about to move to a place right near a highway. To counter this im thinking of getting lots of double mattresses for around the walls and perhaps even on the floor underneath a raised floor.

song structuring/composing My songs start with a feel that usually comes from a life experience. I make up some chords and string them together and a melody follows behind some very average lyrics. I used to keep the average lyrics , not knowing any better, but ive recently realised that its...

I was just looking through the TSR8 manual and it says to use high output tape. ATR is high output tape, isnt it???

hear hear My girlfriends brothers band is a "harcore" metal band. good kids but very brattish. Pretty good players, but when i recorded them on pro tools they pretty much wanted me to spend hours and hours editing. funny thing was, they couldnt count in time, they couldnt play in time, or sing...

Rokit KRK I use these and i find em to be pretty honest. THey get a bashing by people, but i love them. THey dont sound too nice which is perfect. If you get a good mix on them, the music will sound good on anything. Cheap too. Should be 500 for a pair in the US for 8s

thanks again. So you are saying that even though this mixer was made for use with an 8 track, you can only pan 4 tracks on play back and mix down? thats a bit stupid if thats the case.

Hello all. Ive recently bought a TSR8 off Ebay in Sydney under the guise "bid with confidence", supposed to be mint etc but theres some issues. ive had a sensor glued and re wired on one of the tension arms so far. Had this thing running for about 4 days and no joy. chewing up tape(shedding ATR...

tech stuff Well the guy who fixed the sensor and supposedly did a service said he used to work for Tascam. Initially i took it because the sensors werent working and he fixed the problem quickly. I also asked him to go over it and give it a general service. He did clean the capstan roller. Ive...

tape shedding. Thanks so much for that reply. Im a bit confused. I spoke with Mike Spitz from ATR last night and he was very helpful. He told me that people are using his tape on TSR8's and that all i needed to do was transport a few times as the outer edges of the tape normally rub. But after...

frustration in the nation No i dont because i wiped it away. it was very fine and small, certainly not a big pile or anything but noticeble.

Brand new Yes the tape is brand new. Started using on saturday. Prob spent only an hour total of use so far. I noticed almost straight away tiny shreds of tape under the heads on my table. Shortly after the sound started doing weird things. I need to research how tape is diff , width and...

heads close up just cleaned them heads then tried to record again but getting the same result. took some pix but file size is too big. will post later. So do you really think its the tape? Geez i paid alot for that tape. $140 from australian distributer...

Analog I took machine to a tech to fix a sensor inside that keeps tension on tape. He also said heads were good and machine in general is mint. I did record and playback with d b x but i tested recording vocals with it off which then fixed the guitar sound. On play back vocals really quiet. Why...

hi I just recorded with the dolby off and the vox came out so quiet. this could be because i had the dolby on for the first 3 tracks and the option for dolby is one button for 1-4 and another for 5-8. however with the dolby off, the guitar track that was waving in and out has stopped doing...
