Cassettes Er, I have no idea if you can get high bias cassettes (I'm out of the loop, no pun intendened :rolleyes:) here. Can you order them online anywhere does anyone know?

re. last message Ok that was just me feeling impatient/tempted by the nice-looking recorder I was eyeing on Ebay :rolleyes:, which I've now forsaken, CJ will be happy to know. Saw pics of broken machines, stories of woe on this forum, and will only order sth. as a very last resort now...

msh-1 What kind of mic is the msh-1? Couldn't find much about it anywhere. Dynamic? Condenser?

Shure 'nuff Hi, I was reading a bit about the sm57, and someone said that it's just the 58 without the pop filter. Is that true? And that if you take the pop filter off the 58, it's a 57. Can you fit a pop filter onto the 57 for vocals? Or do you need to? I think I'm going to be recording...

Thanks for the tip. Do you agree with the others that it's too risky to buy from Ebay, in general?

414, 424 Hi, I was just reading about the 414 compared to the 424, and saw the following quote: "Like the 424, the 414 MkII has two effects sends, which is quite generous for a budget machine (effects would be returned via the two stereo channels), and again one doubles as a tape monitoring...

Sansui Hey BeatleFred, So I put a Wanted ad in the buy&sell and got a message today from a guy who has a Sansui SD (or SV, couldn't make it out) 5050, with about 50 tapes he thought, in great condition. He didn't know if it was 4 track, or what. Any enlightement? Thanks, Adrian

Digital/analog Thanks for the thoughts on what I should get, all. Before I spend a lot of money and get either system, I want to try both out, first, and see which I like. I think I can get a good, mint deck for cheap, so why not try that first. I'll probably try digital somehow too, and see...

Thanks for the replies, all. Richie, thanks a lot for your reply giving me the lowdown on impedance, using preamps etc. So, using a preamp, could one use a condenser mic on an old tape deck? I still don't uderstand what impedence is, but I'll save any questions about it 'till I've done some...

I just like analog better than digital, more character in my opinion (but don't want to start a huge debate here). Yes I'm a baboon but people still like me :o.

Hi guys, Thanks for the advice, and sorry it took me a while to reply (been talking to the Analog Only guys about decks). Didn't get the 3340 after, but might get another kind. I don't know much about anything, really, and I only just noticed the mic faq section (duh:rolleyes:). I tried to...

Decisions... So I'm calling radio stations now, talked with one guy today who said they might have some stuff and will get back to me. There's nothing in buy&sell, so I think my only other option is EBay. Considering what I've read on the forum from you guys re. shipping nightmares, I'm...

Hey CJ, What's better, the 414 or 424?

Shippin etc. Hi Texas, Thanks for the advice, and too bad you don't ship here :(. I ordered a futon from the states over the summer, and the customs fees came to $240, which was insane. MAybe they're trying to stop us buying so much stuff from the States due to the high CAnadian/low US...

Recording Hi guys, Thanks again for the replies. I didn't get that 3340 deck after all :(; I was all poised with my $120 bid (current bid was $75), and placed it with about 12 seconds left, thinking I was being clever and feeling cocky. Then came the real (no pun intended) snipers and before...

Hello all, I'm a beginner just in the mental stages of setting up a minimal studio at home (I think I'm buying a TEAC 3340 tape deck today - good idea?). I will be recording power pop (vocs, guitar, bass, drums), pretty basic. Think I can get by with two mics? Tight budget:)! In terms of...

Hi, This is just so I can post a URL

3340? Seems to be some variance of opinion on the 3340. I have to decide today whether to get that or not, and there don't seem to be too many other options. If I were to try for the TSR-8, would the quality of a single track be the same as with the 3340? Thanks.

Hi, Not much chance of getting sth. locally - I'm in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. I already checked the buy and sell and there's nothing. Any ideas for a reliable place to buy tape decks on the net???
