Could you rearange your studio so that the sirens will not be bleeding through into the mics? At least the noise will not be going to tape...

There seems here to be a lot of people who will DI the bass as a standard way or recording. And that is all they will do. What a shame it is as you are missing out on a whole world of sounds. DI bass is fine and will give you a good sounding bass, unfortunatly it will be a prety boring...

this isn't strictly true. The old reslo ribbon mics were supplied with thin foam-like sheets to place behind the grill which changed the frequency reponse of the mic. just me two bobs worth

OK I've sorted it. I downloaded a copy of the service manual for $25 :eek: Put the wires where they should be and evenyally found that the switch was broken. Fixed the switch and all is good. If anyone needs a copy of the manual PM me and it's yours

Hey guys, It seems i've f*cked my mixer.... I was giving all the posts a good going over with some switch cleaner and now the bloody thing won't power up. As I was pullig the top uf to get into the beast, I accidentally pulle some of the internal wires connecting the power supply to the...

They actually made a stage show (I think a musical) about joe's life. It looked like utter shite!!!! Didn't go see it though...

Yeah it is thinner but it seems to work just fine. It's fuji tape but I can't remember the numbers at the mo so I'll post when I get home from work. I work for a production company that supplies music audio and video for various things and they used to use 1" and 2" video machines which are...

A little off topic.. well kind of ... I can see why a using a thicker tape than the recomended can be an issue, but can using thinner tape cause any problems?? See.. Not too of topic :)

I have a Brenell Mini-8 which is a 1" 8 track. I am recording on 1" video tape which I can get for free. With a bit of a bias tweek it sounds fantastic!! 1" 8 track can be seen as overkill and axpensive to rin but it is about as good as you are gonna get when it comes to sound quality. Just...

BTW in all the tests i've done the lame encoder is way better than the frau.... Espesially at very low bitrates and mono.

Thanks guy, this is just the kind of info i'm after. I think the reason i'm looking fo british stuff mainly is because they seem to have quite unique characteristics, and the designs can be extaordinaryand quite charming, especially the old stuff. Keep it coming...

Hi kids, Most of the gear I record with is british made (itam 8 track, brenell mini 8, brenell 2track, zoot horn mixer), so I thought it would be cool to find a bunch of british mics and other outboard gear. I'm thinking I'll need A vocal mic, kick, sm57 type dynamics and overheads. Anybody...

You can get switch cleaner from any electrical suppliers. It comes in an aerosol can and comes with a straw so you can get right in there. The spray will clean out the crap from the switch casing, and will also lubricate the contacts. Give all of your switches and pots a good going over with...

DO NOT EPOXY THE SCREWS IN!!!!! They Are adjustable for a reason, plus if you do wish to check the tape alignment it isn't that difficult. Get an alignment tape...

Beck, that is a geat piece of advice!! Clean the switches first, see if that fixes the problem. If not get it checked out by a pro then learn how to keep it good order from there

Just a quick thought... Are you gettin the "off" switch confused?? ie. sometimes off actually means on and vice versa on noise reduction. Just a thought anyhow...

That'll be what's inside the Neve tape emulator :D

It does seem to be getting warm in there but i'm not sure if these puppies are supposed to get to that kind of temp. I'm not sure which boards i should be checking (transport, playback/record, etc.). I'm thinking there will be a faulty cap, but were talking a shit-load of caps in there. Can...

Hi all, I have a Revox B77 that is struggling to FF. This doesn't seem to happen straight off the bat, but after the machine has been on for a while. Firther investigation has revieled that insead of going into FF mode, it goes into play mode but without the pinch roller being engaged. To...
