    Your input please...

    I once sold a Roland VS880 (the small first VS machine) to a guy who had a 1212 in his flat. He recorded mandolin and acoustic guitars to his and it sounded good. He wanted the VS to be able to cut and paste stuff. I was surprised at the size....and the weight! You didn't lift one of those...

    Tascam M-___ Story...

    You're such an inspiration Cory........just wanted to add that. Every time I read one of your posts, I'm spurred on to better my knowledge of electronics....it's one of my biggest regrets in my education......the amount of useless stuff schools try to fill your head with....instead of 'filling...

    Your input please...

    A machine without tape is a hefty doorstop. I think you'll have to brush up on video technology....though that's probably not true is it? The machine used a Beta video tape transport but the recording type was analogue wasn't it? So presumably all the setup is analogue, just on a very slow...

    Sorry Miro...... Here's what I've put up: UNIQUE STUDIO FOR SALE, TASCAM M3500 CONSOLE, FOSTEX G24S 1" TAPE RECORDERS | eBay I don't know if I'll be able to sell it. I know how much it's cost me to get to this position........and it wasn't cheap. I'm still thinking things thro' and leaving...

    Antidote to gearlust.......

    Sorry been tied up.... The gear lust was because I'm thinking of selling up everything analogue because of personal circumstances............ I want to travel a bit and also be free of some of the things I've tied myself up in. I have to face up to a few facts....... I enjoy writing...... I...

    Antidote to gearlust.......

    As I lust over a new digital mixer (Presonus Studiolive 32 Series 3), I came across this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yBtwLcByyU Really interesting... Al

    Now..Tascam MSR-16 wacky!

    It sounds like the machine is entering play on power up?

    Now..Tascam MSR-16 wacky!

    Hmmm, a difficult one. I think you might have been a little too eager in the beginning. The original fault sounds like something and nothing....a slight problem with card 16? The manual I'm sure states that all setup is done without DBX engaged, otherwise I would have thought you would get funny...

    Help! I hurt my Tascam 388, degaussing went wrong!

    Can I suggest you make a short film and post it on You Tube demonstrating what you think is wrong with the machine? Trying to explain through words what might be wrong is sometimes impossible. Most phones these days make it easy to film and post.

    One thing I'm doing tonight...

    Hey Cory, I'd describe it in detail what you've found and stick it on Ebay.....surely your time will be better spent on other stuff? Even if you got it back to better than new, the market for analogue gear is sadly disappearing fast.....in fact for any gear. I reckon kids are no longer picking...

    Sad TASCAM day...

    I really wanted to bid on this, but knew I'd need to re-jig the studio again and just couldn't see me ever re-couping the outlay: Soundtracs Jade-S Large Format Mixing Console 48/96 Channel Mixer - like SSL | eBay I think these were £50-60K in the day. Al

    Are the parts that are busted plastic or metal? If plastic, could you have new ones fabricated from a 3-D printing firm? Al

    Just like to wish you luck Sweets. You give so much of yourself in helping others on this forum, it would be good to see some of that karma returned. Here's sending you and the problem some good vibes. Al

    What are the syncing options on a Tascam 688?

    Hy Robert, I have had all the equipment you mentioned in the past, but not at the same time. The Midiizer was designed with ACCESSORY 2 devices in mind, but as far as I'm aware, the syncing capabilities of the unit was limited to two devices. It could sync an older tape machine with the...

    A cool new gig, and a question or two

    The X32 usually comes stock with the USB2 card. This will allow you to x-fer 32 channels of audio. Basically you'd put the outputs of the MS-16 into the first 16 channels of the X-32. Set up a template in the software you're using so that CH1 of the X32 goes to TR1 of your recording software...

    Hey RFR, Some awesome guitar tones going on here....what's the setup guitar wise? Can't really feel the tape compression with the MP3 compression / computer speakers but sounds rocking. Well done. Al

    MASSIVE 1 TON collection of reel to reel tape for only $25,000!

    Hey Miro, We might 'expect' that any memorable recording would already have been archived, but it's probably not the case. I bet lots of stuff has disappeared over the years just because there's so much of it. I didn't think the OP was putting down classical music (music is music), just that...
