Nice score. $450 for the TSR-8 is what I would consider an Ok deal. I bought one a few years back with the remote for $350 but it has a few small cosmetic issues. The manuals are easy to find but if you need help.. let me know. It's such a nice machine. Are you adding to your setup or...

Heh. I run my turn table into my board as a good method to get it out to the monitors... Sometime I like to listen to music :P

Many new turn tables have outputs that take care of the RIAA curve and/or offer a swtich to enable or disable that.

Cleaning the unit will not clean up the sound, as briank says. Exercising the pots (rotating them over and over) will help to mitigate the crackle or distortion you hear when moving them and in some cases make them pass audio again if they are really dirty. To reduce hiss you would need to...

Yes. DBX changes the sound to tape and then 'decodes' it on playback. More info here: dbx (noise reduction) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Looks great. Really excellent use of the wood and it is really good looking maple. They don't build children's beds out of material like that anymore... If you don't mind me asking.. what gear do you have in the racks? On the left i see: Yamaha Reverb/Delay unit SPX____ Roland ____...

This is a complicated question with a very personal answer... Let me boil it way way down :) Buy the Fostex 812. It has a huge number of features that will help you out, like Direct Outs and Tape Returns. Don't be fooled though, the Fostex is an 8 buss mixer but they treat bus 7/8 as the...

It's still in progress but life has gotten a bit busy. Things are settling down again though and I'll be moving forward. It should be done by the end of the summer. I need to get it transferred either down to AudioProz or to a new person I found much more local to me for more work... I've not...

Hmm, that's interesting. I have heard about the Mackie Ultramix MIDI automation system but never the OTTO-1604 before. These days we inset cards into Mackie mixers to gain Firewire ports.. back in the day Mackie made a card you would insert into the CR-1604 that added automation. Pretty cool...

Hello All, Because I am a fool I have a new found curiosity for mixers controlled via midi. I stumbled across the Fostex DCM100 which is a very simple 1U mixer that, beyond a simple gain control on the front panel, is controlled via a small midi surface called the Fostex MixTab. The mix tab has...

Thanks for the quick reply :) I'm going to need some graph paper to wrap my mind around what you said... I'll give that a try though. If nothing else it may prove to be enough to break my mind free of what its stuck on :) Glad to see you have a Tascam M3500.. sad to see it's not setup yet...

Hello All, I have a largish (smallish perhaps...) unfinished space that I intend to convert into a recording studio. The space is essentially 20' x 20' with a sloped ceiling height between 10-15'. The ceiling height is fluid at the moment though so really, whatever height is needed can be...

Well worth the effort! That looks great!

The bit that is tiresome, for me, is not the bit about people having differing opinions, its that people can't see that different doesn't mean wrong. Re-reading Lo.Fi's post, I can see where you could take offense at the us vs. them mentality. It can be read as sort of a 'Get off my Lawn'...

I agree 100%. Let's be honest, if you are interested in recording, or even in live sound, you cannot be unaware of all of the digital options available to you. I would wager large sums of money that everyone in this forum is aware of digital recording.. we have chosen a different method. Many...

Pictures and samples are a must! Can't wait to hear more about this setup. Sounds awesome!

I check the 'Analog Only' section of HR nearly everyday and remain quite active in the analog side of audio..I just don't have many questions left :) I read through lots of the threads and I chime in when possible but that's not all too often. Some of it is being jaded by the same questions...

The seller wasn't as willing to play ball as I would have expected from the ad. For his non-working unit he wasn't willing to go below $100 and I'm not going to spend 6+ hours driving to spend $100 for a broken unit :) I'll wait for a better deal... sadly Thanks for the info Cory!

Wow! Thanks for the info Sweetbeats! I've always been keen on them as well, though I've never used one. I'll see if the seller is willing to make deal and go from there... Thank you!

I found a local(ish) as for a Tascam 234 a couple hours away on Craigslist (CLASSIC VINTAGE 4-TRACK - Tascam 234 Syncaset) It was posted some time ago and I'm not even sure it's still available but I was curious what others thought of it's condition. It lacks rack ears.. not a crisis. I could...
