http://www.k-bid.com/cgi-bin/mnlist.cgi?klosteria158/2 This is in a local online auction... (which also has Ampex ATR-800 2-track listed, condition doesn't look that great) with no reserve. I am about 5 hours away at school right now, but that looks really tempting. It is currently at $2.00...

I think this is mainly the product of a new found aura that the music blogosphere has given to vinyl (and ultimately "analog") in the last ten years. It seems that the twenty-somethings who write for Pitchfork, etc. love to point out how a record "sounds" like it was recorded on tape. There is...

Thanks so much Cory. Still haven't opened up the m-312b again, but when I do (and it will be soon) I will post some pics... I figured that it had something to do with those tabs, but I didn't want to damage anything. Hopefully a thorough cleaning will bring these scratchy faders back to life!

Thanks for the clarification... Yeah, I see what you are talking about - I guess I thought they were, at least, very similar. In the short time I had the fader out I tried to get it apart (it looks like there are four tabs grouped into two on each side that might have something to do with it...

Thanks for the info - I'm pretty sure they are conductive plastic (so much for the F5 I just bought... I'm sure my m-216 could use a good cleaning though:)). The article states: "ONCE THE FADER IS OPENED, YOU WILL WANT TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE WIPERS, BUSHINGS, AND TRACK. USING A "Q-TIP" COTTON...

Sorry, I don't think my post/picture made it clear... I attached another picture just to make sure (sorry the resolution isn't the greatest). I have these kind of faders (the upgrade, I believe - not the "low profile" version) and am not exactly sure how to get them apart... I was asking...

So, I finally opened up my m-312b and it has the faders that Cory's m-500 series/m-308b mixers had (K-series? something else? a picture is attached)... Cory, I know you posted a picture of the fader open, but I was just wondering how those faders actually open up. Can you keep the connections...

Well that was what I was kind unsure of... I haven't opened the bottom yet - my schedule has kind of inhibited that - but I will probably do it this weekend. I want to make sure I have enough time to do it in one sitting... I just went ahead and bought the Faderlube - why not? I have...

So, which Deoixt product should I buy to clean out the faders on my m-312b? I have kind of waiting to see what everyone says, but... What kind of faders are in the m-312 - are they the same as in Cory's video, or are they carbon-based? Thanks for the help (and for making all these calls!).

Yeah... the computer setup was exactly the same when I was calibrating the other mixer, and the 30db pad was not on. Also, I tried out some of my keyboards and the levels were still low - but still only on the channel/PGM faders. When I engage to yellow L/R button the stereo faders seem to be...

That makes sense... the only thing is that I was calibrating an M-216 using the same program - and the same method - and I really didn't have any problems with it being too quiet. However, I could have been pumping the gain somehow and not known it. I am relatively new to analog recording (a...

Hey guys... I have had this m-312b for a little more than a week and have been having a little trouble with getting the levels set properly. I was calibrating it with the free version of True RTA last night (1kHz test tone [at -10db] from my computer to a channel via 1/8'' -> 1/4" cable), and...

Wow, that's great... I just picked up an m-312b and think I need to clean the faders. It's the only problem with the mixer (which I already love). The faders make a crackling sound whenever they are moved - I haven't taken it apart yet, but I would assume that it has something to do with...

I think these are the articles: http://www.ethanwiner.com/acoustics.html or http://www.realtraps.com/art_room-setup.htm

Thanks for the info... I might hold off on the noise reduction and maybe try and wait to find a dbx unit - it's just an easier way to go. Also, I looked at the date stamp on the Ampex 456 tape the guy gave me and unfortunately the number was 87293 (1987 tape I have gathered) so it looks like...

Sorry to bring this thread back, but I wanted to ask if anyone listens to Boards of Canada here in the Analog Only section of homerecording... if you haven't maybe give their album Music has the Right to Children a listen - it is crazy good. I haven't really heard anyone talk about this...

Yeah, I was going pretty hard at the mixer with a can of compressed air and am probably going to order some Deoxit F5 Fader Lube (would this work? I've seen it suggested elsewhere...) tonight. When I find the time, I will definitely crack it open and lube the faders and pots up (I found another...

Sorry I haven't replied sooner, but... I passed on the Otari deck (thanks for all the help though). Among other reasons, I found an add that turned out to be a way better deal. The add was extremely short and the guy said he was selling a "12-channel mixer TASCAM mixer," a 32, and 38 on...

Yeah, so I am meeting with him tomorrow to take a look... He seems like a nice guy who might be willing to bargain, and tape decks never get sold here in Minneapolis, so maybe he'll come down on the price - we'll see how it works out. Anyway, I saw that ebay listing, and it would not be local...

So... I have been looking into buying a half-track and finally found one on craigslist (http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/msg/1882767853.html) - I know it looks kind of sketch but I think he didn't have a very good camera. First of all, the guy is asking $500 for it, and he has no way to...
