Wow! Great resource. Looking at the diagrams it look s like there isn't much that can go wrong in the transport. Would a blow cap have this effect on the motor? It seems there ain't much else there Cheers JP!

Hi My brenell mark 5 M chewd a tape and now the right hand reel motor will not stop running!! I was not in the room when this happened but I was wiping some tape by recording nothing onto it and I left the room. My girlfreind called me and said that there was something wrong with the machine...

The younger you are the better... Write to as many as you can find. Really, you may be surprised at how many are interested. You may also be surprised at how many are not interested. Grab a yellow pages or something, and write, write, write!! Don't write one generic letter, and try to find...

sure you can The soundcard you choose to record through is unlikely to have decent pre-amps. use the mixer the same way you used it with the tape machine. The only difference is that you have removed the tape machine from your signal chain and replaced it with a hard disc recorder, ie. your...

I knew I liked the look of you :D :D :D

My thinking is that the buyers of a Dylan record are gonna be listenning on home stereo equipment, yes? Is that listener going to be able to pick up an any difference between the dynamic ranges of digital V analgue. My thought is NO!! So how could it possibly effect the success of such an...

Does anyone REALLY think that this would have any effect on wether Dylan would have been as successfull in the so called "digital age"??? Surely the social climate had a hell of a lot more to do with his seccess than whether you could here him fart on one of his tracks :D :D

WOW!! It's amazing how a relatively interesting thread can decend into one that is sooooooooooooooooo boring. "How many protest singers are there" :D :D

It has legs!!!!..... Very, very short rubber ones I think... Some people call them feet, but they are legs to me.....

This is, in my opinion, the sexyest looking 1/2" 8 track in the world ever. It is an ITAM 806 circa 1980 made in London. I have an ITAM 805 which I still havn't fixed yet, which I thought was the sexyest looking 8-track but this one looks even better, and it works. I will be picking it up...

"First of all, the distance from the top of the grille to the diaphragm is significantly shorter on the SM57 compared to that of the SM58. This allows for closer sound pickup with even more pronounced proximity effect. Secondly, a different resonator/grille assembly design of the SM57 is...

I'm prety sure the 58 has a low-frequency roll off to compensate for proximity effect from close micing vocals ie, during live performance Could be wrong though, there will be some graphs somwhere on the web...

Jesus, no! I don't think the $ is that low (yet), £100 is about $170, I think

Cut a hole in the front kik skin and you will probably tear the skin and it will flap and you will get a very annoying noise. You can record a kit with 2, even 1 mic. It's all about placement. Maybe one in front of the kitpicking up the overall sound and one near the snare picking up hat...

This is gonna get a lot of angry repliesbut here goes... I think there are a hell of a lot of major hiphop/R&B etc. hits that have very poor production/recording on them. This is probably due to the fact that a lot of these artists hire their "homies" to work for them, rather than get...

Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese dream sounds increadible. mmmmmmmmm

Before you splash out on the new mics, experiment with your mic placement first. The unflattering high end on the cymbals may be due to the hight of the symbals, compared to what you have recorded before, and reflections of walls and sielings etc.

Actually they aint British... A am stupid! :o

I'm trying to remember the make of the "motherbucker" double humbucker pickup and it's killing me. It is a british co. I have one of their pickups in one of my basses. They sound amazing, are not overly expencive and they do custom pickups, windings etc. A bass teacher of mine had a...

They are for surround sound setups, like for watching DVD video and stuff like that. I think...
