The board has plenty of space top of the mornin and thanks for the replies, The pcb is spatious and the ICs are all in sockets, so changing them is a piece of cake. I count six of them in the signal path, not counting the one in the de-esser(not too pleased with it either really) As for...

Significant mods for the DOD R-825 Compressor/Limiter In reference to the post quoted under I wish make a previously mentioned topic resurface, for the benefit of anyone who wishes to sprite up their mono compressor; You can see the schematics here Now, I wonder which one is the 5532 opamp...

ever so greatful... Hello there, thankyousomuch,friend ...I'll look him up right away :D -C

Yes this is just what I mean...that is where I wanted to draw the line in the first post... I think Im gonna go after Mr William Wittman, and kindly ask him for some advice... the folks over at gearslutz say he played with C.S. back in the 70's... dont really know where to find him though...

Thanks for the link! I take the liberty of quoting jmikeperkins over at gearslutz: I must say it again; the sound on these records is very interesting, it is a beautiful quality of mids and harmonies, that the bass+treble hysteria elegantly wiped out... Do you folks think they used large...

The room, the proximity, the timber, the crunch, the balance is an historic soundmans deed... and mr stevens' art goes without saying... and I know theres a lot to be done with a good eq-strip..... BUT how did they record those guitars? what microphones sound like this...? and the...

yeah even thinking about not using the gefells....what ingrate... I think you have a point... I best go with them and the DMP3 A question bout the Para DI... does it make an electric guitar sound acoustic, or is it meant for amping acoustic instruments? cause it would truly be a good option...

Hello good folk I have a nylon and steel guitars I want to record in such a way that I can capture the acoustic sound of the guitars on my Portastudio 246 ;) I am thinking of getting a DMP3 anyway... but then the the idea of the Para DI struck me... has anyone used this Para Acoustic DI (LR...

tapes are here... Well Tim, I will certainly look into the calibration procedure... probably only to realise it is a bit over my head... What I meant about the DBX relates exactly to the reduction of the background noise. And to me the sound has a special feature when it is this free of...

UPS says the 20.12 is the day... Quantegy 472 is on its way... Ill post back when I try them in the portastudio :D

This is very true Tim. If/when I start recording live, or even recording stuff that needs more dynamic range I will need to turn it on... I am actually very pleased with the dbx in the portastudio - it puts a special character on the recordings... I read something in the manual about...

thanks cjacek, that would mean dbx in my case... and maybe the compressor goes under NR also... My Portastudio works just fine... it is beautiful :D I even prefer to run it without the dbx for some uses... there is so little noise anyway. as long as the signal in is well adjusted... :cool...

Hello folks and thanks for the marvellous read =) Its great to hear your opinions on this. I 'll go ahead and order some TDK PRO SM-60, some Maxell XLII-S(totalmedia claims to have them in stock still) and some Quantegy 472... They all seem like fine tapes to try. I'll post back when I have...

Thanks guys for your replies. As a Reel Person introduces them, the qualities of either more bassy or a clearer high end are exactly the kind of stuff I want to hear... :) and man, if there were any tapes worth buying in oslo, norway, i''d buy them all... it looks though like I will have to...

Dear everyone, I have just been reading the lot of threads concerning Type II / CrO2 / High Bias tapes. This, combined with the fact that Europe is not an easy place in which to be reborn into the organic light of analogy, from the nightmares of 0 and 1... ...some shallow depths for your...

The other side of the coin... The pcb seen from the other side Hope this helps Thanks -canakas

This is helpful! Thank you mate... Im goin to get a picture of the bottom as well... Maybe now is the time to get a multimeter... =) cheers

Hello all, I recently got my hands on a Philips CCS 400 Conference unit, like the one they use in the UN for interpreters and such. CCS 400 Microphone Button and DIN plug Connectors on the back The microphone probably isnt the best, but I would like to give this little project a try... that...

Glad to hear... thanks man for your reply, This sounds like my conclusion as well... so the transformer does not do the 50 to 60Hz conversion... mmm I wonder how this affects the field... I guess the sign of the field simply changes 50 instead of 60 times per second... and this, one can...

Dear all, In the cold north(read Norway) we use 220V instead of 110V. As a nostalgic I proudly own a Tascam 246 Portasudio beauty, that I want to treat to regular head demagnetizing. I am wondering if it, in the name of homogenizing the magnetic ion distribution in the head(isnt this what one...
