A Philips digital? Like in DCC? One that also plays back ordinary cassettes? These are getting rare. Plenty of DAT's around, but DCC's not so many.

Yes. I have a couple of Neewer 700's. To use as a housing for DIY mics :D But they're not bad at all, especially at their price point. So I haven't gutted them yet. The only problem wit these is that they tend to differ a lot from one batch to another. A friend has sent one back because it had...

It isn't about piracy, but about illogical and customer unfriendly wording in license agreements. License agreements that have no power, legally, as far as the consumer is concerned. It might be boiler plate legalese, but it's stupid. If the customer doesn't read it, it's of no use. And if the...

Both interfaces will work perfectly with REAPER. Both have good drivers and both companies supply driver updates for a long time. Personally, I'd prefer the Focusrite, but I'm on a Mac. If I would use Windows, I might be inclined to choose Steinberg. As for the choice of DAW, I use REAPER. It's...

This isn(t about piracy. But, never mind. You'll never get it...

The first Neumann company is Gefell, which was started by Georg Neumann and Erich Rickmann. Home The Neumann company itself was started later by ex-Gefell engineers, in West Berlin, while Gefell was in East Berlin. By that time, Erich Rickmann had already passed away. Wagner could be an...

I don't expect USB and XLR versions to be the same mic in most cases...

I had one of those too, in the 80's. It's even harder than DAT or ADAT machines to find a replacement today, as the different brands aren't even compatible. But I've never been asked to transfer such a tape to digital.

There is a definite difference between software and music. Music has never killed or physically harmed anyone*. Software could harm users, if you consider gear like CNC routers, laser- or waterjet cutters could be connected. That's why courts see resale of music different from software. If a...

No, it isn't. But if you are unable to understand, I'll leave it at that. I'm sure others are capable of understanding what I write.

Of course, these are for the hifi crowd. But they are new tape machines. One of them is limited edition and it sold out already, despite being very expensive. And Tascam just launched a semi-pro 500$ (SRP 999$) cassette recorder. Without Dolby... I also know of a new cassette duplication...

Music is very different from software. Would you agree if some publisher told you you could not play your CD on Sony CD players? I don't think so. Yet, in the software arena, there could be valid technical reasons to prevent an enduser from using the software with some machines. Like in...

You should aim to keep digital levels as close as possible to 100% to avoid loss of definition. That means you'll probably need some kind of (passive) monitor controller or pad in front of your powered monitors. These are all far too sensitive. And if you turn down the digital level to 10% you...

That's rubbish. The NS10's were average Hifi speakers. They flunked in the market. When they were on sales, a couple of famous engineers bought them to use as second or even third pair, for comparison. The same goes for Auratones. The first manufacturer was a furniture factory that also made...

Painton are great quality. I like their special faders too. Pretty much unobtanium, this side of the pond.

At least three new open reel recorders have been introduced in the last year. Very expensive ones... Don't remember the brands. New brands too.

That's a multi-turn trimpot. Probably left over from some calibration mod?

It's just a point if your current Dolby equipped recorder dies. You'll need to buy a used one, as new decks cannot be equipped with it anymore. Dolby playback decoding in software has been around for a long time. A radio destined app/VST called "Stereo tool", fi. It just wasn't called Dolby for...

From the REAPER Wiki: Reaper for Post Production - CockosWiki Seems it can do it. I suspect the Wiki isn't up-to-date as REAPER does video too, these days. That should be even better, probably.
