I knew it sounded different....now I know why! Cheers Sweets.....not been here in a while. Al

This looks like a steal, or is there something I don't know about Sony machines? SONY APR-24 2" 24 Channel Analog Audio Recording Tape Machine #27777 | eBay Al

I once owned two Tascam 238 machines which were synced together with the Tascam synchroniser...with code on both machines, it gave you 14 tracks. The idea was to keep 'master' tapes from one machine and keep bouncing to the other machine for infinite one or two bounce recordings. The thing is...

So the Tascam M3500 went last month. I got £500 for it which was just about what I paid for it (including nothing for my time re-capping and sorting it out). I then jumped on an Allen & Heath ML3000, which is really a live desk, but I'd been looking at a few live desks simply because of the...

I've just finished the first round of slimming down my setup. I want to get back to the music and not worry about technology or drivers or anything else...... I'm just running the Fostex G24S in after getting it renovated. When I bought one of the machines, it came with a reel of Agfa PEM 468...

I'm looking for some advice. I've recently gone back to mastering my stuff to a Roland CD-2. I had one knocking around and now that I'm using the Yamaha O2R to mix stuff from the Fostex G24S, it makes sense to wire the CD-2 up to the desk's 2-track facilities. Anyhow, I noticed a CD-2 machine...

Works well with the film...well done. Al

You're right Miro.....and given the slump in the secondmarket for all things hardware, the O2Rs I bought came with ADAT, AES and analogue cards. I can go from the RME to the O2R via 2 sets of ADAT connectors (giving 16 tracks). I would still need to go 8 analogue if I wanted 24 into the desk. As...

There's a good vid on YouTube about build quality of the Toft....a guy ended up keeping his Soundcraft Spirit Studio 24 and sent the Toft back. He's since bought a high end comp and pre-amp with what he didn't spend. I've rigged up one of the Yammy O2Rs with the 1" tape machine's outputs serving...

I recorded by daughter singing a cover over a year ago using a Yamaha O2R and I think a Fostex D2424LV: https://altruistica.bandcamp.com/track/im-into-you All the tracks were recorded using the O2R preamps straight into the D2424LV, real simple. I'm going to hook one of the Yamaha O2Rs up to...

Reel-to-reel tape is the new vinyl | The Verge

I've just gone through what seems to be an annual event......ripping the studio to bits, then re-building it. I'm delivering one of the last bits tomorrow. The Tascam M3500 that I went over 400 miles to bring back here a year ago is shipping out tomorrow. The reason? It takes up the space of...

Optro 2 inch 16 Track Tape Recorder, hook up leads & 1 inch 8 Track head block | eBay

Now that would have given me all the spares I need for my M3500.........I'm umming and arhhing whether to recap the input channels.....and it's the 32 channel version...... It does look good though. Al

I know how much you like your Tridents........ Trident Series 80 (ex Kasabian) - price £20k+VAT | eBay Al

I wouldn't think leads that short would have any effect on battery position. Al

The MKI DPS24 (silver / champagne) was the best 24 track all-in-one ever built, but Roland beat them on the marketing side. The MKII machine (all black) was cheaply built with poor quality control. It's like the Tascam SX-1 (which I had a couple of after the DPS24).....brilliant machine but no...

Yeh his problem with trying to do it with just one box, is that he's trying to combine technologies that were separated by about ten years or more. The interfaces that supported MTC to stripe and read from tape, didn't have audio inputs / outputs. their job was to merely sync a midi setup, with...

I know the VSR880....After the VS2480 I had, I then moved onto a system that had a Roland VMC7200 desk with two VM7200 processors with cascade card and R-Buss card in each, with 3 x VSR880 on one processor and 3 x RPC-1 PCI bus cards in a custom built computer on the other processor. Total...
