Oops sorry if I confused you, I just wasn't sure how much functionality was built into the usb connection. Looks like it does just function as a drive. Hope I didn't cause a panic!

the maxell should be fine. I believe both the ampex and quantegy could be an issue, someone will chime in with a way of checking based on production date which will be listed as a serial number on the boxes. Instead of ebay for new tape you should check here...

Ah yes thanks, the dimensions and weight seem to be within a range I could live with. Picture this if you will, when I bought the 520 someone on the street was having a party and my driveway was full so I had to park about 200 feet away from the house. I carried that monster the whole way...

I was looking at one of those 2516's but for some reason I look at it and don't think I could ever love it.... like you said more plastic, and I just feel that the sound might also come out more plasticy. I've never used one so that is a totally uninformed opinion, and I definitely want...

I've given up on usb devices for midi input, no matter what I do I seem to always end up with a noticable lag, and although you can quantize to correct the lag in the sequencer, it is just very annoying to me while I am actually playing. Just noticed you are on a laptop so usb is probably...

while we're on a mixer topic here, are the M-512 and M-50 the smallest 8 bus boards out of the old tascams?, i think I'm going to try to set-up an 8 track rig I can do remote locations with and I don't want the hassle of disconnecting (or trying to transport) my 520, but I don't think the 50 or...

Hey some nix guys! I didn't think there were any in here. Yep I'm on an Ardour set-up with vst support compiled in, Seq24 as my main midi sequencer, use mainly Hydrogen and Zynaddsubfx for drums and synths. If you have any questions about Jack feel free to shoot me a pm, I'm no guru but I've...

a clock!! even better than a jig-saw! It at least serves a purpose, I just get the question oh is that an elvis puzzle? "yes" "oh, have you ever taken it out of the plastic and done it?" "no"

is that elvis stamp replica also a jigsaw puzzle? if so I have the same one.... if not sorry, but I think that thing is awesome!

Thanks for the info Steve, I am interested in your eq but we should talk about this in another thead, as I feel I may have all ready taken this one fairly off topic:) And by all means you should post the song which you don't like! Perhaps we'll like it but even if not I would love to hear the...

Although not easier to understand, the one thing I really like about my digital system is that it's linux based. No blue screen of death or other errors ever! Once the initial set-up was complete I've never had a problem, and the Jack system is unbelievably awesome. All the software is free...

you are all making me feel guilty for throwing the pacifica in a closet! Strings to come shortly.

Usb 3.0 is going to be very nice... but it's going to take some time to trickle down to interfaces. Perhaps some manufacturer's are preparing for the switch? definitely enjoy what you have, the sound quality won't be outdated anytime in the next decade:)

Hey thanks for the reply, no worries man, I'll get some eventually... even if I end up with another giant 520 sitting somewhere around my house:)

my belief is that the biggest difference is that the 3340 can take 10.5" reels, It's still a simul-sync unit. The transport system on the a-2340 is also not solenoid based and uses (I'm about to make up words here) a clutch based switching transport system which can be rather problematic, one...

I have to agree... I have a a-2340 (no s no x) but everything I have used it for sounds so good! I just came up on a Tascam 48 but I think my 2340 still will sound better (apparently it's all discreet circuitry with maybe one IC but I haven't been able to find it, any one able to confirm?) I...

congrats! a thirty four would have been nice but hey a a4300sx is no slouch either. Hey Dave, I've been around here for a couple of months now... I didn't realize what a collection you had! I've listened to a bunch of your recordings but good god man, you have a lot of machinery! I...

I think a three hundred series would work very well for you. I'm currently looking for one myself to have as a remote location mixer while I leave my five hundred set up in my main studio. Good luck, my one advise is to not be impatient. If your near New York, you should be able to come up on...

well... it started with these forums. I had a digital set-up with an inadequate mixer and I bought a M-520, so I could have a board that would appropriately deal with my 16 track chained delta 1010 set-up. I discovered a wealth of information regarding the various uses of this board here...

No problem there man... I'm not actively trying to sell them, but at the moment I don't have a machine for which I have any use of them, so when ever you have a little extra cash just send me a pm, I'll still have em, and they'll still be cheap.:)
