    Best way to hook up a -10dBV console to a +4dBm tape recorder

    Yes, and the schematics of the corresponding PCBs so I can see what hooks up where. That would be terrific. I will be home again tomorrow around 2 pm GMT+1 and hopefully have some time to look into the schematics. I've been told that the mouser order has arrived and I'm quite eager to fabricate...

    Best way to hook up a -10dBV console to a +4dBm tape recorder

    Hey, thanks for all the suggestions, I'll definitely check all this out. I'm still keeping my eyes peeled for line amplifiers from Tascam, Fostex, Ebtech, ARX, etc. and I think it can never hurt to have some of those tools around. I checked out the Behringers' spec sheets and it seems they're...

    Tascam BR-20T Story...

    Hey Cory, yes, I have an opinion ;) I'd definitely buy a sync head if you expect them to be hard to obtain in the future and you plan on using the BR-20T for a long time. Now, if you were talking about belts I wouldn't recommend stocking them since they're aging anyway, but I don't see any...

    Best way to hook up a -10dBV console to a +4dBm tape recorder

    Danny and Blue Jinn, thanks for the input. I had looked up the Tascam LA-80 units (mkII and the previous model) before and I'm not too eager on spending EUR 800.00 on two units and introduce even more gain stages. I may be able to obtain one or two units used for a lower price and maybe they'll...

    Best way to hook up a -10dBV console to a +4dBm tape recorder

    Hey there, I have these nice pieces of gear: Tascam M-3500 console Tascam ATR-60/16 tape recorder The console's tape ins and d.outs are -10 dBV (TS). The tape recorders line input and output connections are 3-pin XLR +4 dBm. Some quotes from the manual first: No mention of accomodating...

    Tascam M-3500 refurbishment

    No, I didn't use the D-100 as I wasn't able to obtain it here in Germany. I used what I had lying around and think to be quite effective. It seems I didn't look hard enough when I was researching it, I just found one (!) single supplier here in Germany for the D100 spray and it's AGL (ACY's...

    Tascam M-3500 refurbishment

    Update on the M-3500 refurbishment: progress is slow but steady. I finished cleaning the faders and decided to remove the Fader Lube stuff from the faders that I had it applied to again, as they began to crackle a little. The lube had begun to congeal where the faders were resting most of the...

    The Most Often Asked Questions About Mastering

    My question being a potential client would be: When is my mix ready for mastering? The answer "if you can do nothing to make it better", that I have read quite often is kind of misleading in the times of mixing and mastering in the box where people tend to put things on the 2-bus to "make it...

    Fabricating Timeline Micro Lynx transport cables

    Danny, thanks again for the compliments! I sure hope that the information will be useful to someone else. Thought about starting a poll-thread about who owns a Micro Lynx and what they use it for. I don't imagine it's only the three of us ;) With my english, I don't know, I read a lot, mostly...

    Tascam BR-20T Story...

    Just an update on the connectors. I decided against the Molex type connectors as they weren't such a good fit. I found better matching ones from Omron and you can even get a nice hood (if you wait 22 weeks for delivery direct from manufacturer). See the Fabricating Timeline Micro Lynx transport...

    Fabricating Timeline Micro Lynx transport cables

    The Timeline Micro Lynx is an awesome unit for synchronizing various recording gear, both analog and digital by means of MTC (midi time code), SMPTE, word clock and what not. In order for it to control a tape recorder you need a specific transport cable that connects the micro lynx to an...

    Anyone using the Lucid GENx192 who can comment on this?

    How be dis mix?

    Rami, I have not been around for as long as some who comment on your stuff and I have only basic tracking / mixing experience. Feel free to check out my soundcloud profile to get an idea of where I come from. I'm a guitarist by the way, but I've been always addicted to good drums due to my...

    Tascam BR-20T Story...

    Hey Cory, yeah the video looks really fine. Let's hope the audio will stay in pitch. Danny, I tried some more settings with the ACG card and I have to say I really like the idea of of the sample position feedback. I tried both settings as described for Pro Tools in chapter 9 but with Reaper...

    Word clock upsampling / conversion

    Is there an easy / cheap way to have a 48kHz word clock signal upsampled/converted to a 96kHz signal? Right now I have set up my DAW with my Timeline Micro Lynx synchronizer to sync a tape machine in the near future (it's just syncing the internal time code generator for now). I'm planning to...

    Tascam BR-20T Story...

    Awesome Cory! I enjoy music that's a bit on the experimental side sound-wise. I'm listening as I type, 4 minutes and running. Nice blend of instruments! The track says "Dusty's Mix #1A", was "Dusty" your nick back then? Funny, our bass player is called Dusty. :) I will look into the connector...

    My PERFECT 244 - another Bad Rubber inquiry

    Tom, congratilations! I wouldn't go with ebay, if you don't already have some positive feedback there. People bid lower if a seller has "no reputation". It should be the last straw. I'd advice craigslist, too and maybe link this thread. This board has a Free Ad forum, too. You can post your ad...

    Confused Delta 1010 help!!!!!!

    The delta's outputs are no stereo / headphone outputs. They're all mono line level outputs. So you have 8 mono ins and 8 mono outs. In order to pan something you'd need to connect output 1 and 2 to the left and right input of a stereo input of your mixer. Then you need to choose a stereo output...

    Tascam BR-20T Story...

    Thanks a lot! Too bad the band split up, we had a lot of fun playing, did some gigs, too. My brother was on drums and we still play together in the second band I linked. Yes, been living here all my life ;) I think I read in the Tascam ATR-60/16 manual about the tach positioning feedback and...

    Tascam BR-20T Story...

    Cory, that is indeed great news! Let's hope the audio doesn't pitch about the MTC :laughings: Regarding the VVs, they're explained on the page Danny pointed out. I think, the first one is blinking because VSO Master is per definition a reference source that is not "stable". So the ref lock...
