God i'm glad i got my question about drum tuning in last week. jesus. ok.. ok i did laugh out loud at Mr Tom Tunning, but seriously these places are a really useful place to learn things for free and get respected opinions from more experienced people. i think you were a bit harsh on the guy, i...

hey thanks for that, i have asked brian at the revox one a few times but he only does revox equipment. looks like i have a big trip to the big city coming up then. i can't believe there are none outside london. anyway thanks and i will check them out. :)

hey, anyone know of anyone who can service my fostex e16 in the UK, preferably in the manchester area? i bought it about a year ago, sent it to the only guy in england i could find to service it. it got trashed by the courier. the guy 'electrofix' in bristol took 6 months to service it costing...

thanks for that guys. i pick my drums up from the practice room on sunday i will have a read and a play and maybe save £70 if it turns out good. :) cheers.

hey guys, i normally hang in the analogue section but i have a question for you guys. i have been a 'drummer' for years now and i must have only tried to tune my kit a couple of times because i am crap at it. anyway i was thinking of buying one of the drumdial tuners. do any of you own one and...

this has been great reading, i am recording an album with a hybrid analogue/digital set up for the first time in january. the way i see it going is all main musical instrumantation is going on 16 tracks of analogue (drum kit, bass, acoustic and electric guitars, glockenspiel etc). and as the...

cheers, well they didn't have any 911 so i had to go for 456 again luckily i took some extra money ;P

thanks for all the replies. i think i am going to try some RGM SM911, i would go for some higher quality plus 9dB but i don't know the first thing about setting up my machine for different types of tape. thanks guys.

Hi, i'm sure i have seen a thread about this before on here but i can't find it now that i need it. anyway- I'm looking for an alternative to quantegy tape. I am recording onto a fostex e-16 and want some high quality tape for an upcoming project. can anyone give any recommendations? thanks.

thats really great, the only e-16 manual i could find online previously had a couple of pages missing. great stuff thanks.

yep its an e16 with a dead track :) thanks guys, how would i check if the dolby is correctly aligned? hopefully without taking it to a shop, as the closest is nearly 200 miles from me and i dont trust him anyway. mixing didnt go too well, but i am sure i will get better. plus i dont own any...

cheers, i did record with dolby on. i am going to mixdown to my pc today i will post to say how it went. thanks.

thanks. it is quite a lively indie rock song. drums, electric, acoustic, bass, and a triple track vocal and backing vocals. the sound is great without NR but has an audible hiss. with the NR it took out alot of the top end. i haven't tried adding with the desk yet, i will try it tomorrow but i...

hi, i just finished recording my first song using my new(ish) fostex e16(e15). i say ish as its been at a shop for 6 months getting almost fixed and is now a e15. anyway i have quite alot of tape hiss on the mix and wanted to know how you guys would mix it. would you try to use the eq to take...

i had one when i was about 15, and i don't remember it being that complicated. but in my experience, the older you get the harder it is to understand "technology". anyway they are great machines, stick at it.

thanks xstatic, i will try recording at a lower level and see if i can hear the difference. i have always got a decent sound and if it will be improved by this its worth a go. but all those yellow and red lights are very pretty aren't they?

did you record it again? it sounds like you just remixed it. anyway b is definatley better, but the snare sounds a little funny, distorted?

damn the way you phrased the question confused me into saying i liked reverb. i guess i do when its used right. but i have much dislike of the eighties and how it became essential to put reverb on the snare and the vocals, no matter what the voice etc etc etc. anyway blah blah blah.
