    Sticky Shed Help Thread

    It's not just the "shed" that does damage. Sticky-shed tapes are extremely abrasive, so much so that heads can be ruined. Motors aren't too happy trying to pull that stuff either.

    Acoustically treating my home studio? (Pictures)

    Solid bodies would be considerably less problematic but all strings will sing under the right conditions so I wouldn't risk it.

    Acoustically treating my home studio? (Pictures)

    I would never hang any musical instrument on a studio wall because their sympathetic resonances would be problematic. IMHO, the areas to address are the floor, the creases where surfaces meet, and the window.

    Preamps. What mic preamps are you using? Discuss them.

    Tascam has never made a preamp I cared for. Good transient response was never part of their design.

    Original Great River MP-4 with direct outs, original Spectra Sonics 101 w/502 eq's, Deane Jensen Designed dual-opamp, Great River MP 500NV. All are squeaky clean except for the NV.

    Old microphones

    The Sony C-37's & 38's are great mics. I was introduced to them in the 1970's. I prefer them to Neumann U-87's.

    20-year-old Tannoy Reveals - should I replace them?

    Are you getting good results when you mix with them? If yes, keep them. Otherwise, shop around.

    can anyone recommend 24 track hard disc recorder that interacts with 1995 analog mackie board

    I'm using RADAR 24s with my TASCAM 2600-32 with no interface problems whatsoever. Their old SCSI drives can be updated to solid state if desired.

    Latency/Drift $50 reward for fix

    I would try all of the following: Turn graphics acceleration totally off. Don't let windows decide performance. Click the "adjust for best performance" option in settings. Set Audition's compatibility to your previous OS. Also, use a different drive than whatever drive your os and programs...

    Tascam 2600m

    I have the 32 input version of this board. My only complaint is with the so-so performance of the mic preamps. They're quiet enough but are rather "soft sounding" due to poor transient response. Because of this, I use my outboard units for everything.

    Tascam MS-16 Isolation Cover

    How hot does the deck plate get while the machine is in operation? If it gets warm to the touch, I would not cover it up with anything. If you have a remote, baffle the machine off once tape is loaded or move it out of earshot where the mics can't pick it up. If all else fails, get some...

    Tascam M30/Tascam 38-8

    There is no way the M30 would add any appreciable delay when doing an overdub FYI - once aligned, the 38 should be left in sync mode. The repro head is only used for ease of alignment.

    Tascam 38 Tape Slip

    I'd check the pinch roller to see if it has a glaze on it and isn't gripping properly. Clean it with a good rubber rejuvenator. Do not use head cleaner.

    Fostex g16c issues

    Do you have the user's manual? See if it has a "safe" mode that might be switched on.

    Would switching from a hypercardioid shotgun to a cardioid pencil mic help reduce room reverb/noise?

    A corner is not a good place from which to be recorded, especially an untreated one. FYI - The corners are the 1st places I work on when trying to tame a room.

    JBL 4311 Monitors?

    Believe it or not, no JBL engineer/designer had been to a recording session until the early 1970's when one was invited to one at Drew Recording on Lexington Ave. in Hollywood. I cannot remember his name but he shortly later designed the 4315 4-way monitors which is still considered among the...
