Yes. But are any of them any good? I know there was a thread about the prodipe Mics. How about "chord" "ld" "isk" etc? Any sleepers?

We are all familiar by now with the ribbons and condensers, Has anybody tried the dynamics? And not just the 57 knock offs. I looked around the other day and saw lots of different designs. I found them on non US websites sold under different names. Any thoughts?

the mixer has quad panning! i guess the 80 series and model 5 mixer, which came out 2 years later was much better, but how cool to have everything looking all matchy poo.

Like the sound of rust. how many generations did you go there?

that's not a bad set up, but a lot to deal with for a newb. i might have suggested something like a cassette four or 8 track to start. Or just garageband on a a pad or laptop. i would do a ton of reading, including the manual that came with the deck, and considering hiring someone to spend a...

pretty cool for recording yourself if you are farther that the conventional version will reach. it will work through glass right, if you are lucky enough to have a separate control room. not a whole lot more than the originals go for on ebay. plus, they are not making the originals anymore.

Cool I would have grabbed that if it was local I like mono a lot but you might find it too limiting If you do, please don't hack it up for preamp Enjoy

dont forget you will need access to the back. so you either want to be able walk around to the back, or you want your desk to be on large, easy to roll wheels. lot of patch points in the back.

sure, i'll take some improved heads while you're at it. :)

there are a couple more even cheaper. Keywords: fostex mixer i have no opinion on the sound. i wouldn't expect a neve or api console, but it should do the job.

No question-as you get wider tape the price difference becomes more of an issue. i dont reuse tape much. the calculation i use is: how much per song. By that metric, I find it reasonable, although money is scarce at my house the last couple of years. Of course it's not as cheap as a thumb...

Hey blue jin good info thanks

If i were a painter, and i wanted my work to look good, i might want to spring for the better canvas. sure, it might cost more, but quarter inch only costs me around $20 right now. So double that is ok considering i might get around to recording only 10 original pieces of music a year. if i...

I don't think they have settled on a spec yet Just trying to see of there is enough of a market to tool up For a production scenario

So i guess no one is interested in better tape?

"Hi, Hotter tape does not mean better hi-fi. Improved hi-fi comes from oxide particle packing density, particle orientation, magnetic square-ness and switching field distribution. From the beginning early production iterations of ATR Master Tape, it was formulated and processed so most tape...

although the tooling up costs would probably be the biggest expense. if you just made a single jumbo batch, that might last a long time. i would love to have tape that offers any improvements. Sure, it would cost more, but wouldn't you want your work to sound better? You could still use the...

ATR is considering making a hi fi 1mil tape if enough people are interested. I'm thinking the tascam 388 folks might be interested. You can write them directly. if you like, you can address Mike Spitz. maybe put 1mil in the subject line.

just wondering. is it not ok to post pdf's of the manuals here or on other forums? is that considered property of tascam? And if so, i wonder why, seeing as how they dont really have support for these older items any more.

just a quick sidejack here; recently been checking out the small/cheap/multipurpose mixer market. really surprised how cheap stuff is. Fully featured and compact too. I guess cheap labor, cnc machines, single board fabs subtract down to super cheap. at those prices you could ( should?) just...
