The actual 'supply' is being tampered with by the seller(s) though. If there are 5 Shure M68-RM reverb mixers on eBay at any given time, typically selling for around $20-$50, and you buy them all with the express purpose of selling them for $460 (yes, four hundred-sixty dollars!) each, one at a...

I agree with you in the sense that it's a free market, and people can do as they choose. Just the sellers have the freedom to charge what they wish, and the buyers have the freedom to pay what they are willing to ... the communities affected by these transactions also have the freedom to create...

If you're using external preamps, you can just plug the outputs of the preamps directly into the tape machine inputs, and just use the mixer to monitor and mix. That mixer is super colorful, so you might want to avoid unneeded extra trips through it. A Teac Model 3 or Model 5 probably go for...

Video deck? That looks like the same transport they used for the rare MM-800 1" 8-track recorder. The MM-800 used AG-440 electronics mated to a modded video transport I believe. I'm not sure any of these decks made it beyond the marketing stage. I always wondered what the niche was for this deck...

Yeh great idea ... It should help, but the real problem is the people paying these prices! I remember a few years ago, I put a used CD for sale on eBay ... selling for $12 new on Amazon, so I put the bid at $8. For some reason, the bidding went to $15.50 ... I mean, this is a minor example...

sounds good man ... this what it's about -- moving along and recording the songs! I wouldda just pulled the faders down during the clicks ...

I really appreciate all the support from this forum ... thanks again all.

In addition to Miroslav's sound advice, I'd like to add a few things: Maybe ask yourself a couple questions: What's more important to you? Getting the music recorded, or the music being analog? Would you rather be able to do a lot of punch-ins, or record analog? Personally, I would accept...

sure man -- thanks !

New setup in Portland (8-track is currently being serviced):

I think I already told you this, but here is my list of advice I often refer to: 1. Don't Be a Chicken-shit: Do it Rough and Do it Shitty ! 2. Your Brain May No Longer Be the Boss ! 3. There is Always a Creative Solution to a Creative Problem ! 4. Don't Look at What You Don't Wanna Hit ! --...

in the old days, they often mixed in sections, then spliced the final master together, If you're doing dramatic stuff like that with only two hands, that may be the best way.

This is why in the old days, they would often have lots of people's hands on the board during mix time! There's a story about the Beach Boys mixing the song 'Cool Cool Water', with the group all helping engineer Steve Desper ... quote from Al Jardine: "We were forced to go into creative...

Hey man ... Thought you had a Biamp MR-140 reverb? I have not owned a Space Echo specifically, but have used one (I believe!) and owned a Korg Stage Echo, which is a similar unit. In my opinion, the Biamp gives you a much nicer, more controlled reverb because it incorporates a limiter and...

This is the stuff Analog Only dreams are made of !

I've not used the SM7 but if I could only have one general purpose mike, my choice would be an EV 635a ... the good thing is they are common, and regularly sell for around $50 on eBay (including vintage). This is the most condenser-like dynamic I've heard. You may need a little low-end (bass)...

WOW ... that's the kind of score that I think we all hope to come across! Even if you have to throw down a few bucks to fix it up ...

The SM7B should work fine with the 388 preamps. No need for these wacky boxes.

I'll take the Micro 87
