hey folks, i'm sure this topic has been covered, but nothing came up in a search. anyway, i've been looking for a mixer to use with my tascam tsr8 reel to reel and for general non-tracking use as well. i've heard all the bad rumours about behringer boards. i went to guitar center to audition...

hey folks, i'm in the market for a new mixer. i have a little mackie 1202vlz now and need to step up to a 16 channel. i've owned a tascam m16 (shoulda' kept it), a big mackie 32X8, ramsa 16, alesis studio 32, yamaha 01V, 02R and promix. i'm looking for a good sounding analog board. pre's are...

hey folks, i'm looking for a new mixer to use with my tascam tsr-8 1/2" reel recorder. i already have a little mackie 1202 vlz, which i dig but want a different flavor. i have been using the mixer from my old tascam 688 8 track cassette. cool mixer, but not much headroom and limited outputs. i...

hey j hey j, do you know how your friends laptop is setup? which usb interfac is he using? i'm free to set up the laptop as i wish as long as i can use ms access, excel and corel draw. thanks! tony

usb or firewire? i'll need to use the laptop for work as well. is there a way to configure it for audio but still be usable for the typical spreadsheet, databases and some graphics work? maybe seperate boots? i'm new to the computer audio, but have doing the analog thing for years. if it...

hey folks, was just given a great laptop for work, a toshiba p3, 1ghz, 256mb ram, 30gig hd, cdr/dvd. i'd love to use it for audio. at the very least to mix remotely at the most multitrack with it. i'm aware of the tascam usb, the motu firewire, and the delta usb audio interfaces. anyone have...

oh yeah, you can certainly record releasable material on an md8! i've recorded several cd's with the md8 and released them. mind you, they're completely indie efforts. but all that is so subjective. i've also recorded projects on my tascam 244 portastudio 4 track cassette (which i still use :-)...

thanks! that worked perfectly! and it was free! tony

anyone have a spare or know where i can get a manual for the yamaha md8 md recorder? i bought mine used from ebay about a year ago and never got the manual. it's easy enough to use, but i'd like the manual to learn to do more editing on it. thanks! tony

hey folks, i have a tascam tsr8 1/2" reel recorder in my home studio and absolutely love it. i've been wanting to have a similar recorder in our rehearsal space and ran across a tascam 38 1/2" reel recorder locally for a good deal. everything looks to be in good shape, but i'm not familiar with...

as far as frequency response, the md8 isn't even close to my tascam tsr8 1/2" 8 track reel recorder. but the md8 is quieter and heck of alot lower maintenance. i agree with using the md8 for demo's and such. it's great for that. and the built-in mixer really isn't that bad. i do use outboard...

hey folks, i've been recording via analog and digital tape based for awhile now. i've also been using acid to compose rythmn tracks, so i'd like to take the next step and track/mix on my pc. i've already got some nice outboard hear (pre's, comps, mics, etc). and i'll likely stick with software...

hey folks, i couldn't resist. i picked up a used tascam 688 portastudio for silly cheap. seems to be in great shape. anyone have any tips or such for this beast? wow, two old portastudios within a couple months... so much for progress, huh? ;-) tony

hey folks, just picked up a '73 rickenbacker fretless bass. so can someone explain the 'ric-o-sound' to me? there are two output jacks, a 'normal' and a 'ric-o-sound'. any help appreciated! thanks, tony

hey folks, i'm looking to build a computer for a home office and i'd like it to double as a music computer. nothing really serious, mainly to load live recordings from my remote md and edit and burn cd's for friends, etc. i noticed tiger direct has a pc kit for about $700 that has a...

hey green hornet, so what are your favorite mics and pre's for the md8? i also just picked one up used to make rehearsal and remote recordings. my only mic pre's are two art tube pac's. i have an ok assortment of mics (rode nt2, pair of oktava s-d condensors, 57's, senn). most of which seem to...

hey folks, i just picked up a used tascam 244 4 track. part out of nostalgia and also as cheap way to throw down ideas at our rehearsal space. anyway, i haven't used one in, ok, 15 years? so what type (brand, model, etc) of tape are folks using now for these units? pros and cons? thanks! tony

hey folks, i'm sure this is an oft discussed topic, but since new standalone cd burners seem to be introduced regularly, i thought i'd ask. a bit of boring background first: i'm considering buying a standalone cd burner to master to. i've already been the daw route, and while i understand its...

hey folks, anyone tried any of these? particularly the philips. just looking for an easy way to burn some cd's from some live md's and some stuff i recorded on my tascam md multitrack. thanks! tony
