Unfortunately, with the TSR-8, that's not how it works. The TSR-8 has only one record/playback head, which means that if you're monitoring the signal coming out of the machine during record mode you're not hitting the tape at all. With a three-head deck, you could put the machine into...

Gosh, you showed me! Some people still stumble on the simple explanation. I've been asked to explain it numerous times and I think a practical example would be helpful.

Not at all :) I've actually been meaning to write a detailed blog article about this topic, would you mind waiting a couple of days while I put it together?

I'm really enjoying this thread! I think what I love about this forum is that I've been able to assemble a respectable home studio for recording really challenging and difficult music by interacting with a bunch of really supportive folks. The friendliness here is really pretty refreshing...

There's no need to modify the deck itself. I do tape echo using my mixer.

Gearslutz posters would have you buy a Porsche when all you really need is a Volkswagen. It's elitism at its worst: You're only as good as the amount you're willing to spend. Bah!

Hey analoggers, I'm selling two 2" reels of RMGI SM900. Check out my post in the "For Sale" forum: Link Thanks for looking :)

I'm selling two brand new, unused reels of RMGI SM900, 2" x 2500'. These have been properly taken care of in my home in San Francisco. I'm selling them for $200 each. PM for more info. Thanks! Jeffrey

If they operate at 3 3/4 ips, they'll be great for tape echo :)

What's the info on the four-track? Is it operable?

Wait, there's another way to do it? "Live Mixdown" is how great music is made! :)

You'll have better luck starting your own thread :)

I'm really, really happy with mine. It just gets out of the way and lets me listen to music, with incredible sound quality. That's all I want :)

I used ATR on my 48 for a while. The most popular misconception about ATR tape is that you need to set up your deck for a very high operating level. You don't. Mike at ATR says that *most* of his customers run ATR tape at +6. The strange thing about ATR tape and its unique formulation is that...

Awesome! Thank you for that update!!

I emailed RMGI North America this morning but haven't heard back yet. I'll persist every so often until I get a response.

Yeah, I saw that, and thanks for the link. I'm hoping for a consistent, reliable source, though :(

I'm such a fan of 468 and I really wish that more people would discover it. Since pushing my deck up to 0VU at 355 nW/m, I can run signal really hard into the tape and 468 compresses really gently until it distorts at what I'm guessing is around +6 or +8 VU. I almost never need DBX NR; 468's...

I'm kinda bummed out. I set up my multitrack deck for (PEM/SM)468 and now that I need to buy more tape, I'm finding that nearly all of the online retail outlets for RMGI products aren't carrying 468 any longer. For example, I contacted US Recording Media and they said that 468 never sold well...
