Dont know if you know of him of not, but Bill Moriarty did a ton of Dr. Dogs recordings, all of them analog of course. Turns out that the space theyd been using isnt as good as theyd like. So they (Dr. Dog, and Moriarty) are going to completely tear it apart and refit it completely with all new...

I have a Tascam 44 (not the later version, the earlier version as seen here: http://www.angelfire.com/electronic2/vintagetx/Teac-Tascam44.html ) and i tried to find the bias trimpots inside but i couldnt. Does anyone have an idea of where they are inside and how to get to them? I took it apart...

Hey man Have you thought about this? Record all your rhythm tracks, then burn them to a cd, then play the cd back to the tape on just one track, then record the last 3 tracks. Its not as good as having a ton of extra tracks, but, it works, and people do this kind of stuff and the results speak...

can i add? Mind if i add something to help remind people why its worth it to stick with art till it becomes a reality? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OHnC24Qx8k

edison Yeah i figured thats who it was, but just in case there was some historic dispute about who really was first, id rather not have specified just in case there were some forumers looking to rage on anyone who didnt know the "truth" about who really invented it first. You gotta watch what...

i see wat you did thar

Sweetbeats Hey Cory, youll get there eventually. Sometimes in life you have to do things that are difficult. And we are smart enough to try to predict those difficulties and be ready for them. But, many times those difficulties are different or much more difficult than we thought they would...

haha This thread is packed with viewers right now...

8 track cassette Dont think that a great sounding album cant be made with 8 track cassette. The Frogs album "Star Job" was done on an 8 track cassette and it sounds great. If you want to hear a track off it, they have one song off that album on their myspace page called "Star Boy". Link is...

well I didnt leave it on for a really long time during the testing. All of the tests resulted in a slowly declining number. Mostly i shut it off when putting in or pulling out parts, because i thought it might be safer etc.

heat OK well i took out the heat sink and looked at it as well as both sides of the little board its attached to. Nothing looked damaged or burnt or even slightly discolored. I also put everything back in and let the heatsink get hot, then touched the resistors as you said (power off etc)...

So you want me to heat it up then turn it off and feel the series pass transistors? Where are they located on the machine? Is it not strange that the values slowly drop over time?

ok Sorry, double post.

ok Got the meter, thanks again Sweetbeats for your help. I should say, i dont know if its normal or not, but as i did these tests, the measurements would slowly drop as i sat and watched. Like at first it would say .999, then after about 15 seconds it would say .998, 15 seconds, .997 etc. They...

nah Yeah, i see why people wouldnt like vinyl. But im just a sicko and im immune to things like surface noises and even the occasional skip or two. When i was about 18 i got really into vinyl and i had this shoddy player and id go down to the thrift store and just dig through for Moody Blues...

records I like surface noise.

too good You are too good at fixing things.

songs Music can be tough. Good luck.

You know what would be great? A Wikipedia for all known tape recorders. Not just a list either. Full details as deep as you can go. Schematics (with corrections!), manuals, advice, quirks, model changes, unit specific how-tos, hundreds of pictures and scans, an individual forum for every unit...

cool So it works now? Cool!
