The 4311 was an update to the 4310. I think that the tweeter is different but am not certain. I would still say that accuracy wasn't part of the design because as I recall, mixes done through them wouldn't translate all that well to other systems. 2nd guessing was the order of the day.

The L-100 was the consumer version of the 4310 broadcast monitor. Fancier box to fit with home decor, same drivers, BUT a different crossover network to appeal to consumer tastes. LA engineers called it, "tizz-boom disease" because of the exaggerated low & top end. The 4310 wasn't all that...

The M30 was pretty good in it's day in many respects but the mic pres left a lot to be desired if one wanted clean, detailed sound with good transient response. Chances are the ones in your current interface perform better. Even the TASCAM techs acknowledged that. If you want analog tape...

Sony purchased MCI in 1982. For a sort time their tape machines were branded as MCI/SONY's.

Thanks!

From my new CD, "Playlist."

There was a similar chip called the 5530 that the TASCAM tech I knew would use instead of the 5532. Supposedly, it was designed specifically for -10 device circuits whereas the 5532 was not.

Mix as you go. If parts 1 & 2 aren't working well together, no other added parts are going to fix it.

I used to do stereo from a distance for acoustic guitars that drove the track but have since gone to stereo for solo instruments and mono when the guitar is part of an ensemble.

IMHO- TASCAM has never made a really good mic pre. They aren't awful but they lack the transient response needed to capture drums & bass to my satisfaction.

The 500 series was more expensive than the 300 series. It probably has more function and perhaps better performance.

I worked with 1 engineer who would mix with everything in the center before re-panning for stereo.

If all else fails, you can buy a used dbx I unit and patch it in. The stand alone 150 would work just fine.

I hope you mean "watts" because you don't want to hook spakers up to anything spitting volts.

A food dehydrator works best. Do not try to play anymore of these tapes as they are now. You can ruin a machine trying to play them. There are tutorials on line about how tapes should be baked.

Are you using new tape that isn't subject to sticky-shed syndrome?

If you a When using an outboard preamp, you should route it through either a line in or accessory receive. Not only will the signal path be cleaner but phantom is then a non-issue whether on or off.

Gadd: Paul Simon's "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover." Jim Keltner: Johnny Rivers' version of "Slow Dancing." Bernard Purdie: Steely Dan's "Babylon Sisters," "Home At Last," & "Deacon Blues." Mike Botts was Bread's drummer who also did stunning outside session work. Case in point, Linda...

Bernard Purdie, Jim Keltner, Steve Gadd, the late Mike Botts.

I've used them (EV CS15 or Sennheiser mkh 405) on occasion. Placement was super critical but the results suited the track just fine.
