Is it shedding on the heads? I read once that someone had recovered decades old audio from some cassettes that the Nixon administration had done their best to erase. They took the tape and used a Nakamichi or something, and digitized it into Pro Tools I assume where they could isolate the very...

@mixsit. Gotcha. I've been listening to some reference tracks today. @TripleM. I'm going to tune the reverb up and maybe put a LPF on the buss as I think a lot of the boom is coming from that. @ ibleedburgundy. At this point the drums/guitar/bass are set in stone. What I'm taking away from...

How did yr brother record to 2 decks at the same time? That's weird that David Gilmore of all people came in and snagged it. I just watched a Tascam 22-2 slip away that only had .99 cents worth of bids on it (plus $70 shipping), that I would have totally bought if I had some extra money. I...

@Drspringreverb I don't think there's too much tape hiss whatsoever. I record on 4-tracks a lot, and I have (had) just about every model that ever came out and some produced more hiss than others for a variety of reasons, but what I'm hearing on your song isn't high. Honestly, it sounds like a...

Thanks for the notes! I did this on an old 8-track, so I wasn't really reaching for the heights of fidelity, but I also wasn't going for a muddy sound. I mixed this on my new monitors (JBL LSR305's) and I'm beginning to notice that they accentuate the highs so I should try to tune them in cuz...

Stogie-D, I just listened to "A Song To My Son" and thought you nailed what you were going for. I can't comment on the fidelity as I only have my Macbook speakers right now, but the vocal performance was really good, especially for doing it to tape without the help of digital to correct pitch...

@ Jharv I agree. I was thinking it would help to lower the guitars a touch but I just realized that I had taken the instrumental from the Model 80 and put it into Logic to mix and then ran the mix back into the Fostex to get myself some extra tracks to do vocals on, so that's impossible now. Oh...

Hi, You all really helped me with my last post and I was wondering if you'd give me some feedback on this recent master. I'm thinking of submitting this as the leadoff track for my debut coming out next March. It's a different song then I usually write but I like the energy and it's fun to play...

This link will work. This is my master of what might be the lead off song on my debut coming out in March. It's called "Of Course Sick" I recorded it to my Fostex model 80 and mixed it in Logic. I mastered it with Ozone 7 and did about 4 versions until I got this one that I thought had the best...

I tried buying a PRW from that Dynamic place last summer and was told that he cannot get them anymore. So, why do you keep them on yr website then? Stay away from that company. Not a good place to do business with. I'm going to contact TEAC and see if they still supply them. I don't think they...

Last night I saw a Fostex A2 on eBay for $200 OBO. It was evidently in great shape. Still in the original box with styrofoam and owner's manual. Tested and working etc. I've been looking for one of these, or something like it, for the last 6 months and I'm in the process of finishing a project...

Sorry, it was set to Private and I thought that it could be heard if I gave people the link. Guess not. I reset it to Public and here's the link again. https://soundcloud.com/defnder/of-course-sick

Hi guys, I rarely do this but I'm approaching this next release a lot different than I've done anything in the past. I've taken much more time writing and arranging these new songs than I ever have before. Having said that, this song was written in an afternoon. The recording process wasn't. I...

That was cool of you to make that. I watched it too and got something out of it.

Yeah! That's the place. Have you heard some of the songs that were made there? I follow them on FB but they never post anything or answer questions. I wanted to know the story behind it but so far they've been mum. My 688 got shipped out today. Perfect timing too, as I just sold my Yamaha MT8X.

I've wanted one of these for a long time and I know someone who's giving it away so I'm going to pay for the shipping and hope it survives the trip. He's shipping it through the UPS store which puts me at ease and makes me nervous at the same time. Anyways, it looks crazy to figure out and I'm...

How'd you remold the pinch roller wheel?

This is a killer buy. Two decks and all those parts? Shipping would be a beast though. I wish I had the cash on hand cuz I would buy this. I haven't seen a nicer machine that comes with a working parts deck.

Those recording you did sounded great. I was shocked they were done on cassette, let alone on a type I.

Yeah, I was just saying in another thread that Maxell is stopping the sale of UR here in the states. I always had a terrible view of it until recently when I recorded to 6 blanks that I needed quick and I thought they were okay. Better than I had remembered. I still prefer late 80's Maxell UR...
