Hey all, I got bored a few days ago at work (a Dental School) and stumbled upon about 20 analog 1/4" reel to reel tapes in an abandoned chemistry lab. The makes are Scotch 212 and Ampex High Frequency PRT 1800. I couldn't find anything about them on the web, and nobody ever felt the need to...

Korg N-Series The Korg N-series is good on everything except realistic piano sounds, they're buzzy and bassy and kinda nasty. The electric pianos and organs are good, though, and it's not too difficult to program.

I'm not sure if this is the place for this, but I was looking at getting an Echo MidiMia for the cheap ass price of $99 and I figured it would be perfect because the mixer has 1/4" and XLR stereo outs (stereo's all I want). Well, it turns out that neither the 1/4" nor the XLR outs are balanced...

Nanocompressor I picked up a Nanocompressor last week to mix my 8 track reel to reel onto the computer. I threw it on the stereo drum tracks as an insert on a Tascam M-208 8x4 mixer and it sounds good. I only have it hitting reduction on snare and kick hits, and it's just enough to make it...

There are cheaper things to fix... My local guy (the only one who would own up to the task) has said it'll cost $125 to look at the thing and much more to align it if it can even be aligned. I think it's time to go DIY on this mother...

Typos make a difference Did I say it's not spinning well? I meant it is. I got the Midas touch, baby, and a little shove in the right direction fixed it. I'm intrigued about these "self-aligning heads", though, mainly cause I can't/don't have time to find an MRL for it. Does anyone know...

Not a bad guess, but... I wouldn't accuse you of being presumptuous, after all I am new to this. But I got the manual, and I know for a fact it's threaded correctly. I think the problem was what you refered to as the capstan. It was not spinning when I made the post. However, over the...

Boy that 80 is a quirky sonufabitch I recently came into an 80 for cheap and I've been trying to get it to work. Meters are fine, I have a manual that talks about calibration, fine, and I can use my Nord MicroModular to generate test tones. My problem is that the metal roller that is under...

Hey. I'm getting ready to record my rock band and I was looking into what mics to buy as drum overheads. At a local indoor fleamarket, I saw two CountryMan mics that would be the first things to match my projected (and modest) budget. I'm not entirely sure they work, but they can be returned...
