    Alesis Adat machine(older) question

    You can't beat ADAT machines for portability :eek: I would hate to rip out my studio equipment/soundcard/laptop/cords and software just to record live somewhere, ADAT machines are so convenient and portable. And when you get back to the studio you can transfer your live recordings into your...

    is 408 same as 480??? Just curious Beck, if 408 is the same as 480? And can you use 480 for machines that are bias for 406 and 456? And of course, if they also can run thicker tape 1.5 mil as you mentioned above. I understand that 480 is similar in bias to 406? Thank you once again for...

    Do Not Buy From Tapetape !

    Some 3M reel tapes are ok in my experience. 3M 808 is usually sticky shed as well, and as mentioned 3M 226. I highly recommend Zonal tape, never has a problem with any model and the slit cut is perfect and the tape surface is smooth as ice. Holds up very well over the years, most European...

    Well said again, Beck well said. I know, I have heard the many and horrible experiences about TapeandTape here on this thread, and I have to agree with you, that if you have a continual distrust because of getting your chain yanked and maybe outright lied to constantly, or the many lame excuses...
