    Blocking a trem

    I've got three guitars that came with trems...I blocked all of them, as I prefer the hardtail. It's pretty simple...stick a block of wood at the tail end of the trem rig where the springs are attached. The whole trick is to get the right size of wood block so that the springs are no longer in...

    Tascam TSR-8 V Fostex 16 track Half inch tape

    OK...you can live with your "overwhelming" evidence in that other thread...I just feel bad you refused to learn anything there. AFA your mixer/tape stuff here...what's "full use of all 16 tracks" have to do with that things I was pointing out about your misguided understanding about balanced...

    Need to sell sound equipment that was my father-in-law's who is now in a home.

    Yeah...post some of the items with brand/model that you're trying to price/sell...you might get some quick answers for what you have.

    Tascam TSR-8 V Fostex 16 track Half inch tape

    OK if you're looking to learn...maybe my perspective was triggered by that other thread where you generally rejected the notion. Yes...as has been mentioned, balanced cables are for noise rejection...but the way you're assuming that running two signals in parallel to two tracks is the same...

    Ringing ears...

    Really...?...like who for instance? I've never heard of that...and anyone claiming that their hearing is perfect after a lifetime of hearing loud volumes...is either lying or they don't realize how much they have lost.

    There's so many things wrong with that post. Your understanding of balanced signals and wiring, and how summing identical tracks has no effect on their quality...are both flawed.

    I drool every time I check out the Mara Machines. On the expensive side, but you know where the money went. Home - Mara Machines There was a guy not too long ago selling a 2" 24-track...and I looked at it hard, it was "new" from, Mara...and he only want like $7k for it, which is a great deal...

    Tascam TSR-8 V Fostex 16 track Half inch tape

    Didn't know that...or don't remember that. :) I know some machines have an internal switch letting you do that, or external...I just knew the Fostex B/E/G machines came stock at 15 ips. Was that offered just on the B...or also on the E and G series...?...because there is no mention of it the...

    Ringing ears...

    If you already have ringing at 27...you should have that checked out now, as you may have the opportunity to treat it, unless of course you were exposed to a lot of very loud sounds even at that age, and the damage is permanent. It also could be something unrelated to loud sounds...some type of...

    Tascam TSR-8 V Fostex 16 track Half inch tape

    That guy on Reverb is mistaken...unless someone did an aftermarket mod, which TBH, I don't think could be done without replacing a lot of the stock parts...motors, electronics, etc. I owned a G16C...which was two generations later (B16, E16 and then G16)...and the G series was substantially...

    Open Discussion - Consumer gear vs. Pro gear

    She never got in too deep with stuff I was recording and all that...but always liked when I played and sang at the piano, something I used to do at length in my younger days, just sit and play and sing along for hours. The song I wrote is about the end of something, the moment of separation...

    Open Discussion - Consumer gear vs. Pro gear

    Heck...I haven't recorded anything in ages,...way too many things have been taking up my fun-time for too long. The closest I've been to "recording" over the last 2 years is downloading new songs I like off YouTube. The last song I finished writing my mom heard me playing on the piano one day...

    Tascam TSR-8 V Fostex 16 track Half inch tape

    Yes...like the beagle said...do you need to record 16 tracks at once? I assume about "8 outs" you're talking group outs....OK....but do your mixer channels have direct outs or any other I/O options? There's many ways to skin a cat. :) The fact that you have a 16 channel mixer, means it has 16...

    Open Discussion - Consumer gear vs. Pro gear

    Yes...I get your point, and you know I never suggested that the less expensive/consumer stuff is all trash...but I didn't see that as the central/original topic. My point has always been that there are quality differences that can't be denied...AFA what people use, it's their choice. I only...

    Open Discussion - Consumer gear vs. Pro gear

    I have no dispute with that...never have. My point was that you can take any of "those" machines...make them sound as best as their technology and your skill will allow...and then move to a pro machine, and suddenly you see even more daylight. Whether or not people want to...or like to...and...

    Open Discussion - Consumer gear vs. Pro gear

    I did say that some people intentionally chose to work with limitations, which is a different point...but the rest of you post above pretty much supports my point...that there ARE differences between pro gear, and everything else. Initially, you're argument was that consumer gear can be made to...

    HELP! Advice needed on how to treat this room

    You would have to take like full rolls of pink and stack them on top of each other in corners to come close to the effect that a 6" panel of the ridged fiberglass has. Otherwise, putting the pink stuff into a 2" or even 6" panel...just doesn't have the density....unless you want to try to...

    HELP! Advice needed on how to treat this room

    The pink fluffy stuff won't work...not for making acoustic panels, because you would need just a large amount of it per-panel, that they would have to be extremely deep, so much that they would eat up most of your studio space. You need this kind of ridged fiberglass...which will allow you to...

    Open Discussion - Consumer gear vs. Pro gear

    Of course objectivity is not always cut and dried...but we can certainly say that subjectivity is never cut and dried. :) AFA what's the benchmark...etc...? When in doubt...I fall back on what the majority of people who professionally work with audio have to say about gear. That too is not...

    HELP! Advice needed on how to treat this room

    Simple place to start without getting all caught up with measurements and trying to "fine tune" the room... ...some bass/low-mid traps around the room...because graphs show that your upper-mids/highs are pretty even...but in the low-mids/bass, you have a lot of hard peaks and nulls...so that's...
