If you had inserts on your recorder you could use a different preamp or if your recorder has stereo rca line-in jacks you could use a preamp there too. Doesn't Behringer have something for phantom powering in situations where there is none on mixer or recorder?

4 tape line-out's to 4 computer line-in's - no worries:D You only need pre-amp if you have a microphone, guitar or something.

A turntable is one way of transferring tape to 7 inch reels. Put the pancake on to the turntable and the empty 7 inch reel on to your reel2reel. Lace up the tape and press play.

VHS is very quick and cheap. No one mentioned those CD/VHS combo units, I would assume would make it even quicker. Iv noticed that prices for both digital and analog video recorders have dropped considerably and yet the CD/VHS combo prices are still fairly static. I do remember that there was a...

Sounds like a good deal if it includes powersupply. The 238 Syncaset (rackmount)version actualy outperforms the 644 in the audio and transport department. Both use staggered heads, that is they have 2 four track heads out of alignment to get the 8 tracks. Whith your old 4 track recorded tapes...

Depends on what noise reduction your old cassettes were recoded whith? Most noise reduction systems work by recording through NR and playing back through the same type NR. A computer program like Cool Edit is probably the best way, unless you have encoded the tapes whith DBX.

Try Tracktion3 for recording audio and midi. Its the best music program for configuring the computer's internal sound card or for external sound cards. If you want to record multiple audio channels or just for better latency figures, you might want a good external sound card such as from M-Audio.:D

what about an AMR 4 track casssette:D http://reel2reeltexas.com/vinAd85AMR.jpg http://reel2reeltexas.com/vinAd87AMR.jpg

All multitrack cassette machines are set up for high bias, but if you have a few normal bias tapes sitting around doing nothing use them up anyway:D --

I always prefered Maxel XL-11's. Anyone tried Trident?

Im looking at this one at the moment. Im after a portable external multitrack recorder that can record 8 tracks simultaneously, has 8 track-out individual sockets and has USB socket to transfer to and from computer. Does it have LATENCY? Iv heard mentioned these portable type digital...

finaly getting to the end of this, this guy is truly a dickhead. If you cannot afford a DAT player why not use the family VHS recorder.:p Sounds fine but using it to bounce down it won't match. :( For mastering VHS will work.:D I remember there was a 8 channel VHS for a short time. Why don't...

I did watch half of the expert advanced techniques one. He suggests it is a waste of time to bounce or mix down to an external cassette, instead you should bounce down to external DAT recorder. Come on, you have spent all that cash to buy a new portatstudio, only to be told you now need to...

He reckons that the portastudio is better than the reel-to-reel and the only limitation is your ability to use it. Is this guy trying to flog off secondhand portastudio's or what? Can't wait to watch the advanced part?:D ---

Out of curiosity what sought of money were they going for when new? ---

Didn't know that. Problem whith Tascam and a lot of other's is they simply don't get the word out, and yet they put so much into producing a product? When people make software, a lot of different people are involved right from the start, putting in their 2cents worth and beta testing..... There...

Anyone have any thoughts about VHS as an audio recorder? The machines and tape are very cheap, ussualy someone has one hardly used lying around and so it is worth a try. Their frequency response is fairly good for its speed, but it does have helicon? scan. I don't know if it makes much...

what about the "swishing" and "hum" sound from using a bulk eraser such as the Tandy type? Could the magnetic effectiveness of the tape be reduced by repeated bulk erasing? ---
