After having read through the ad, there may well be some significant recordings in this archive. The original recordist sounds like they were a true aficionado of classical music, and if the lot was recorded from FM radio as said in the listing, who knows what's on them. Can you imagine, a rare...

Is there a service manual for the 388? Or are the details of the functioning in the User's Manual? In the Tascam MS-16 manual (I think there are a service and a user one) I remember seeing a chart that listed what happens when you press one of the transport buttons...eg. 'When you press 'PLAY'...

Looking excellent Miro, well done. Look forward to hearing something from the new desk. Al

Hey JP, I think I'd prefer this: Otari MTR-90 Mk II - 24 Track Reel To Reel Analogue Tape Recorder | eBay That's if I didn't have two fully renovated Fostex G24S machines (re-capped / new heads/ full alignment) awaiting to be put into service.....:thumbs up: Al

Looking very nice.... Don't know if you happened to see this on UK Ebay.....and to think I thought it might sell for a few hundred pounds. Trident Trimix 39-8-2 (48) channel Analog Console Mixer | eBay Al

I was watching this TED talk recently by a journalist I like, and he was using sound to illustrate his talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYemnKEKx0c I thought it was similar to what we were discussing. Al

Yes you're right, the music is really acting in a similar way to film-music.....trying to build on the drama already within the speech, or to punctuate the points within the speech. The piece I linked to 'Death of a Statesman' happened very organically though. I actually came up with the...

It sounds like you're trying to put a square peg in a round hole. What I mean by this, is that the chord progression is doing one thing and your vocal line is doing something totally different. Well, not totally different, because the rhythm of your melody kind of matches, but the tonal centre...

The link doesn't work for me. Al

Sorry I forgot to add, the reason I edited your material was because parts of it I thought were really good and it deserved to be shown in a way that made it more accessible for people to read it. Going through it, I only changed stuff that I thought made the rhyme easier to deliver (I must say...

I hope you don't mind, but I decided to edit your material. I've changed a few things and ditched some things. I didn't like the reference to 'woman beating' at the end, and as I ditched it an alternative ending just practically wrote itself. Hope you like the changes, if you don't sorry. Al...

I don't know if you know this Jimmy, but in the UK we call a turd that won't flush down the toilet, a 'floater'. In this light, your reply was very funny. Al

Thanks Miro, Al

Thanks Miro, Have you come across any videos describing the procedure that you think may be useful? Thanks Al

Hey Alan, Sorry I misunderstood your answer. Then yes, I think we're on the same sheet. I do use albums I know mostly as points of reference, to which I then compare the stuff I'm mixing. I'll save the pennies then and not bother trying the graphic idea. Although the control room is...

Hey Dr. Thanks for the info on sources and treatments. I remember doing a few pieces about thirty years ago now, where I mixed certain film soundtracks (I remember one being 'Who's afraid of Virginia Wolf' with Liz Taylor and Richard Burton) and interspersed it with 'music'. How it worked was...

Hey Alan & Miro, I think you misunderstand me...... I was talking about installing the graphic to compensate for my hearing loss at 2Khz (and 4Khz too). It seems to me that people may treat their rooms scientifically (presumably by playing a series of sinewaves out their speakers at a...

Interesting Mike.......seems a lot more of us are doing this than at first seems. That's a very financially 'economic' way of doing things (HD24 then MOTU 2408MKII...presumably via 3 sets of ADATS). What DAW are you using? Al

Interesting sounds and textures. What are the sound sources? And the treatments? I always struggle to find a 'form' for a piece like this. Have you ever listened to any musique concrete pieces by Stockhausen and others? I think it's because there is little for a listener to follow (like...

Thanks j.harv....I wrote this song sometime back in 1993....never recorded it but started playing it live a few times. It really is a demo in terms of trying out the new system. I haven't got a kit setup yet, but plan on doing so. I did this without a click too, so the timing is a bit pushed in...
