    Need some help setting up a 4 Track Reel to Reel to a Tascam Mixer

    I mean that is the snapshot of when the machine was taken out of service. They are marginal, for sure. The peak is missing from wear to the extent debris will collect there as there is no correct tape contact

    Need some help setting up a 4 Track Reel to Reel to a Tascam Mixer

    You are not getting any serious recording with those heads. I might be acceptable for the hobbyist

    haha. I was lost ! I was doing photo and imaging and didn't really need to be updated. Oh, I preferred cd burning in Linux, etc..

    Need some help setting up a 4 Track Reel to Reel to a Tascam Mixer

    I see a lot more than that. The wear looks pretty even, though. You might luck into some odd=ball heads that would work - and home re-laping is an option. The day I discovered sticky was with some Agfa and the whole machine ground to a halt. I keep meaning to add, clean the whole tape path - not...

    You can't, really, do it that way, unless all the songs are the same

    EQ sweep

    I've been under the impression that I would have to spend time dialing in the fizz and that was all it took for me to avoid sims, generally. Maybe, gain stage amp modules ?

    Thinking about diving in to Linux

    Ya, you can "make" some optimizations. I guess that is ( freely tossing words) compiling kernel ?? I do the dual boot have found that the modern install can be pretty flaky. The Multi-Media distros are full of audio, video, etc. hahah, ya, my first Linux was a 14.4k modem download of debian...

    Harrison Mixbus DAW

    For what I'm doin' now, which is just processing synth noises, this generic console emulation is just fine. I sometimes grab a cut off a album and try to apply some console polish : ) If I ever get into my room and get sorted, I snagged a proMix last month and want to spend a lot of time with...

    I don't bother with the Windows version as last I saw Ardour doesn't have an official release yet. 32c is pretty tempting, but in my case I don't need it for anything. Ya, I just try and mix with the console tools

    Fostex A8 reasonable price for a fix up?

    Multi-track tape. I love the same in disk recorders. Just ask him to provide a PIC of the heads. Sellers with good heads will usually make that their #1 selling point. It is also true that the seller may have no idea what a head is.

    Fostex A8 reasonable price for a fix up?

    None of that stuff is, really, worth consideration unless you have evaluated the heads. I, generally, stay away from multi-track tape ( doesn't mean I don't want them all). I look though the offerings and one day an Angel appeared and said; "recent new heads". $100 + $41.70 ship

    Overcoming monitor budget limitations

    They will still work, you just have to understand the weaknesses in speakers. My big boxes from 1970 are ported and I hear the bass step off the cliff around 45Hz. But with the 12" woofer, YoYo Ma and his Solo Bach sound effortless
