Thanks, but no thanks.

It's called a first offer... and as a seller, you want to start high. With the guitars, mics, keys, amps, he may well have $10K there. First offer of $8K takes! Sell off five or six on eBay and voila!

I was sure this was a joke!

:D We are learning here the differences between the 424 mkII and mkIII includes the external AC adapter on the mkIII. Strange.

If supplies do dry up... we'll want to know in time to unload our 4 trackers on eBay, to some unsuspecting newbie. :eek: Actually, they'll make good little submixers.

Say something naughty... and watch my rep points go up.

AT's $100 condenser... I am wary of it's concept, so much so that I shy away from the possibility of owning one.

Sounds like a job for a QST... or qualified sevice technician, unless you can open her up to see if a loose connection at input is the guilty party.

Whoa! That's alotta recording you're planning on doing. I only use about 15-20 thirty minute tapes a year.

Shielded cables... and short runs are recommended, to keep down RF noise. Gilligan had the same problem.

Bummer... and my guitar may suffer because of it.

Yeah 30s are best... if you can find them. Long enough for 2 songs, if they're not too long. I think they'll be making type II for a few more years, I wouldn't recommend stocking up a two year supply, just yet.

And TASCAM recommends... shorter tape lengths, 60 works, but any more than that I wouldn't use.

Har! I'm going to print this thread and hang it on the wall of my analog studio. :D But what about 24 bit resolution, 48 khz sample, isn't that an option? :confused:

Do you mean "partially cover up"? Because that doesn't make sense to me, either. :D No, you can't record one track over another track.

Recording? Or... for a live rig? I would go compression before the amp, and use the EQ in the fx loop.

Yah, man... quality over quantity, anyday. Two good mics well placed will beat a slew of cheapies all over.

I used to have one of those 505s... and had some real fun with those sounds. It's a great start for recording. But after the first 10 songs, you realize using the same guitar sounds can really cramp your style.

In analog, too strong of a signal is OK, to a point; you have some leeway between "saturation" and "distortion". Digital clipping is immediate and harsh. If your .wav remains below 0 dB (i.e. put a limiter on the main mix) when you transfer out to the console it should not have any distortion...

Brands make a difference... find one you like a stick with it. Dropouts can be a problem with the cheaper tapes, I have never used Radio Shack's but I am prejudiced against them. I like TDK or Memorex.
