Yeah, I sent you a message back. Let me see what happened.

You bought a 234 now? You've got it bad!

Pass, with extreme prejudice. I won't even buy a cassette player if it's missing the transport cover. That's always been a rule of mine. Like Sweetbeats said, parts machine only. Even if he'll go down to $60, yr just setting yrself up for having to spend another $200+ to begin to get this thing...

I'm in the process of mixing this song again. It's got 4 re-recorded vocal lines that are exactly the same performance wise, but not recorded in my bathroom like the one's on the mix you guys heard. Thanks for the recommendation for frequencies that might help bring it out more. The new vox are...

Thanks guys. The guitar is a student size with 4 strings on it. I've been writing with it for a long time. I redid the vocals and agree that they should be up in the mix. There's no effects on 'em except for the verb that I used for the whole song. I doubled them obviously, but I too am hearing...

Hi. this is my first post over here and I appreciate any feedback you could give me on this rough mix I did. I'm a musician based in NYC, getting ready to do the final mix. This is song I recorded that's shaping up to be the second song on my upcoming record and I've been having some issues...

Hi, I do tape digitizing and can take care of that no matter what it is. Message me if you're interested.

Hey, Need a little more to go on then "it won't record to track 4" to start troubleshooting. I assume that it at one time did record to track 4? Did this just happen suddenly, or did you notice it losing signal over time? I always give the heads a good cleaning first and start from there.

In another 30 years, that Neve board that Vig did Nevermind on will be talked about in the same tones that we use for the EMI Redd board. Hell, it almost is today. I bet there isn't an offer that Grohl would even entertain for that. I know it was only a hypothetical, but I was actually thinking...

So yr saying if you had an unlimited budget and big room you'd still be rocking a 4-channel board and a 4-track huh? Hats off to ya Brad. That's awesome. Honestly, I don't really know enough about pro gear to be able to list off the stuff I would want. I know I would want a nice old Neve, or...

I've arrived.

I thought for sure there'd that flip, but everything was the same. There was smpte on track 8 and it came up on track 8 on the MT8X and everything was normal. I'm still shocked that they got 8 tracks to fit on a 1/8" of tape and it sounds as good as it does. There wasn't any cross-talk either.

So, I finally got a definitive answer for the "Can I play tapes recorded on a Tascam 688 on my Yamaha MT8X?" question. I did it tonight and worked out beautifully. Everything sounded great and there were no problems whatsoever. The tape was recorded with dbx noise reduction, which the MT8X also...

Congrats man. That's awesome. I remember reading the start of this last year.

You should write to that guy who sold you those and let him know what you just told us. I did that after having the 2 belt sets he sold me fail, and he told me that it was my fault somehow. I said "Yeah, I'm at fault for trying to save $15 and go through some jerk on eBay who can't be depended...

Honestly, sound wise, there's not a huge difference there. Of course, when comparing 4-tracks, the 80's models always command the most respect but I think for what you do, you'll be fine with the smaller and lighter 424. There's defeatable DBX NR on the 424 too, so you'll be able to play any of...

I'm glad you got it figured out. I sold him this recorder/mixer and was hoping that there wasn't some issue with it that I wasn't aware of. Good thing you figured it finally.

This happened to me twice. Once with a 244 and then again with a 246. Both times were with belts bought from Dynamic Technology Group (or something like that) from CA. It was the belts both times. Both of these things happened soon after putting the new belts on and I was pretty annoyed that...

"Tape pulls a unique performance? - Well EVERY performance & recording is technically unique BUT if the gear was behind a wall and the performer didn't know what their performance was being recorded to I fail to see how there'd be any push or pull in terms of a different & truly unique run...

I don't know what type of music you play, but cassette 4-track and 1/4" reel to reel 8-track is where it's at in terms of character and soul, and all that other hard to describe stuff that makes a song great. My opinion about analog, specifically recording to tape at the tracking stage, is that...
