You might want to ask in the digital recording forum since your question is specific to your digital audio interface, DSP settings/configuration etc. and this is the analog equipment forum. If I was familiar with your interface I might be able to help more readily, but I’m not unfortunately.

Oh yeah for sure…were you unaware of it previous to my post above? Lots and lots good stuff represented there.

The June 1983 edition of Studio Sound featured the Tascam 58 on the cover, and included a detailed review: https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Audio/Archive-Studio-Sound/80s/Studio-Sound-1983-06.pdf It held its own. There is also a review of the Otari MX-5050-8 mkIII, which was...

I’m not a purist either…have a wide range of tools both analog and digital around here. I grew up in the 70s and 80s and so am rooted in pre-internet/personal computer/digital existence, so for me the draw to analog definitely includes an element of nostalgia, but that’s only part of it. Digital...

Awesome. You’re welcome! I’ve always found it helpful to think of the multitracking process in three stages, generally speaking: 1. Initial tracking 2. Overdubbing (adding more tracks to the initial tracks) 3. Mixdown That’s it. Yes there are other things that happen like maybe bouncing...

Hi. First and foremost, I hope you have the owner’s manual and have done your due diligence to study it. That is your best resource and help for the kind of issues you’re having I believe. Section 3 of the manual dives into recording and overdubbing procedures. You have 4 input channels, and...

No, no I get that, Rick…I know about bouncing/ping-ponging/collapsing tracks, but they don’t say anything about recording. They specified sending the output of the PGM group output back into the console at another input channel and I was trying to understand why they would do that, thinking...

Sure you can do that, but why send the output of PGM 1 to another input channel? For additional EQ or effects? Typically one would submix the 4 channels to a group, and then just monitor from there or send to your recorder or whatever…this is especially common in live FOH applications where the...

I use Dawn liquid dish detergent and one of those dish cloths with the one side that’s a plastic scrubby…warm water…if it’s only lightly soiled i might just use a soft scrub brush or even an old toothbrush if it’s a small panel. I hang it under or set it over a heat register so there’s air...

Don’t was just recently serviced, but what did that service include? When was the capstan belt last replaced or the pinch roller? When was the pinch roller pressure last checked? The other thing to consider is if there is a mechanical failure, such as one or more bad solder joints in the power...

What tape are you using?

I’m having a little bit of a hard time following what conditions elicit the faulty behavior, but if it is not present on power up, and then starts with tapping, that’s really odd. It could still be a failed opamp that is stable until there is any kind of signal or fluctuation at all, which could...

So my suspicion is it’s not on the input side even though you can hear it some. I’m guessing that’s just bleed from whatever is going on, which I think is on the playback side. U3 is the input opamp. That’s not my first suspect. The first stage of the playback side is discrete…Q1 & Q3~8, servo...

In my experience when audio either is not present except for on loud peaks, and is crunchy at that, OR just goes full tilt all the time, and it’s an IC opamp-based signal path, usually a failed opamp. But just to confirm you’re saying it does the same thing when you’re just monitoring the input...

I suspect a failed opamp.

Okay, thanks for that info…yeah I need cable with an overall shield, ideally braided. Yeah those screw-terminal connector PCB assemblies are great. I’ve used a few different Phoenix-type connector boards for some different projects…really great solutions.

Does the cable have an overall shield?

FWIW I would not use that device to calibrate my machine.

What are the specs on the 60-conductor cable and where did you get it? I want to make a 50ft ELCO extension cable for my RC-51. Thanks for the link!

Can you post a link to the mod thread you’re talking about? And I understand better now what you are doing with the speed control mod. Thanks for explaining that. And yeah what you’re doing with your low-budget remote control solution is perfectly legitimate. I thought of doing something...
