Good point. I guess it's like the ancient cars in Cuba. If they had been modern cars, with all the chips and crappy plastic parts, Maybe they would have been abandoned.

Putting my Scully up for sale in norcal. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/msg/2025974845.html Sorry, local pickup. Thought I'd let my HR homes know. Hope it's ok I posted here instead of classified. Thanks

I used to have an akai deck, and whenever I posted something here about it, I would get a ton of PMs asking if I had any tapes, even years later. You won't have any problem getting rid of your tape.

I know that one of the main reasons folks here on HR like analog decks is because they are cheap. Both the decks and the people. That would include me. I just can't see a market for decks unless they were less than twice the price of a used one. And unless they were really well built and...

I used to see something cheap and just grab it knowing I could probably get my money back later If I didn't end up using it. Some things I might sell at a small profit or small loss but I figured it all averaged out. But more and more it's become a huge chore to get rid of stuff. Even if I...

Hey sweets, As far as not being available to your family because you are in your gear cave, Well, at least it could be worse. You could be drunk at the bar every night, be gambling online, or have a secret familyi in another town. And you are at least aware of the problem. I think there is a...

sweetbeats, that is scary because it's familiar. It's a constant struggle for me to keep on top the junk that finds it way to my place. I've stopped "rescuing" stuff that's heading for the landfill. It's sad, but i realized that it's not my problem. We are not museums. stuff takes away...

i hadn't checked in a while, but just looked at ebay. there were a bunch in the $500 neighborhood. IF they didn't need any work done on them right away, thats not TOO outrageous i suppose. i seem to remember seeing them at $700 and above last time i checked. have they come down, or just the...

first of all, your posts have the best photos! You must have a very good camera. second, no way could i do a burn off anyway near where i live. third, i used the quiet rock and found it a bit hard to work with. I think if you rocking a big project with a pro crew, it's cost effective. for...

I've been keeping an eye out for one, but they are stupid expensive. plus, usually not maintained as well as your average 30 year old analog deck, which is not saying much. Still, they are more convienent than setting up a dedicated deck, don't you think?

i guess what i meant to address is workflow. i was thinking the OP wanted to replicate the technique from the korg1600 with the built in drum patterns. i assume the OP got the 388 because of the sound. If you need more tracks or you need a lot of what a DAW has to offer, i would just go with...

just to chime in.... I would skip the syncing route if you are using the 388. Why? it's certanly do-able. I just think a DAW is perfect for time based compositions. You can stretch it or compress it or align, or snap to grid , or quantise, or have cascading echoes all in time. I think the...

Hey JJ, Glad to hear you can get enough gain for the SM7b. Maybe that will push me over the edge to get one. Beck: Couldn't you just get a M-30 or M-35 instead of performing an amputation on a 388? Or do they sound very different?

Cool. Anybody else like any particular mics with the 388 pres? Any suprises?

there is a lot of music waiting for you inside this box. and for the price of a stompbox! Enjoy.

Do a search here on homerec on the akai mg1212 and the mg1214. I think the tapes thing has been covered. Mr. gerst is correct. tapes are rare, but can be found from time to time on ebay.

I hope your friend is locking down the tone generator.....

As far as using smething like this to create a vibe and attract clients; i think more important would be to have a pool table, well stocked fridge, a space invaders or pac man unit, a washing machine, and someone to tune your instrument for you.

ok, fair enough. I guess i was just feeling lazy yesterday. And I'm trying to be resourceful and use up all the leftover bits and pieces around here.
