Does anyone know the weight of a Teac 80-8? I need to post it off to repair and the courier needs to know the weight. Thanks.

Thanks for that. I havent got unlinited time to keep going through take after take for the balance of the kit, as we are hiring the room for something like four hours. So really just a guideline for settings on the compressors would be what I am after. We are taping the live demo to a Teac reel...

I cant really do that as I am recording a live demo of the band, so the two tracks of the drumkit will have to do.

You recommend leaving compressing the drums until mixdown. How then could I do that having already recorded the full kit onto two tracks of the reel to reel? Would it be possible to compress individual drums? It sounds impossible. Intriguing.

I own a couple of compressors that I want to use while taping drums for our band demo. They are Behringer MDX4600 Multicoms. Does anyone know the basic settings to set the units at to get good sounds? Thanks in advance.

My mixer only has treble, swept mid and thirdly, bass. Thanks for advice.

You mention using high pass filters and rolling off frequencies. How exactly would I do this using the mixer and cheap equaliser that I own?

Thanks, but its just that I read quite a few things about cutting all the bottom end of your mix. They often advise to cut up to 50hz off everything but the kick and bass guitar to leave room for the mix to breathe. I just guessed that I would have to treat the Eq of each bit of the drumkit...

Can anyone advise me how to Eq drums onto tape? I want to record a demo of my band onto a Teac 80-8, with two tracks taking up the whole drumkit., leaving the remaining tracks for lead vocal, two guitars, bass, Backing vox. I understand you have to pan the drums to certain positions in the...

Thanks chaps.

Does anyone know what half inch tape is meant to be used on a Teac 80-8 ?

All is sorted now. I had the plastic head protector over the tape all the while!

OK Will try that.

Yes I have the manual. I am assigning the tracks to be recorded by pressing the corresponding buttons, and pressing "play" and "record" at the same time the LEDs flash like they should. Playback shows nothing on the tape.

On playing back the Fostex theres no LEDs lighting up and no sound. When "recording" the record light is on steadily.

The connections are...Output of CD player into a small mixer into the rear inputs of the Fostex. Meter levels show theres an input signal on the Fostex. Phono leads out of the output of the machine into another small mixer. On playback of the "recording" theres nothing.

I also own a Fostex M80 but has a fault. The meters all light up fine when recording an input signal, but trying to play the tape back to listen to whats been taped results in no sound at all. Its like the machine hasnt recorded. Any ideas chaps?

Thanks. Does anyone know of any pitfalls, or even any hints to get the best out of this machine?

Just bought a Fostex M80 eight track. Anyone know what tapes I need to buy to use on this?

Thats the info I wanted thank you very much. Really speaking I wouldnt know if its best to limit the toms or maybe compress them so they definitely wouldnt peak out a driver in the P.A.
