yea Yeah i mix both digital and analog. To be honest i hate the idea of digital, but it can be made to work for you if you pay alot of attention to what your intended sound should be like. But, in the end, no matter how well i can disguise the 1s and 0s with trickery... they are still 1s and...

reason I assume that a multimeter does several different things, but i just dont want to assume too much because this is my first time trynig to use any of this equipment so i want to make sure. Also, im confused on the RCA thing. Do they make RCA plugs that you use with a multimeter?

tascam 80-8 Ive never owned one, but a few of my favorite underground albums were made on 80-8s. I remember the bands telling me they used noise reduction, and that there was no pitch control on the deck. I do recall seeing some kind of a box that you could get for 80-8 that could vari the...

btw BTW im still considering your generous offer for the hubs and reels, im just balls to the wall as far as money goes right now and i wont know if i need those until i figure out whether or not this thing is worth keeping and using. So dont worry its in the back of my mind.

m30 Youve got access sends on every channel as well as on each of the 4 busses. The manual shows you some preferred setups for both 4 and 8 track recording with effects. I used an M30 for years with an 8 track reel and i really grew to like the mixer. Its different in a few ways, but thats...

Ive had my Tascam 388 for a long time, and it works well and sounds fine, but its missing the dark brown plastic dust cover (you know, the piece that goes over the tape). I just wrote to tascam but they dont have any spares for sale. I also checked the web for spares at some sites, but they...

I When i first got this machine i cleaned the heads what i thought was pretty well. But the head still looked like it had been corroded or something. I was pretty sad about that. But today i had another look and it turned out to be just really caked on old tape residue. I mean it was ON there...

basically Basically what im asking is, is a multimeter an AC voltmeter? If not, what should i be looking to get that will allow me to perform a calibration that is asking me to plug an AC voltmeter into the RCA jacks on the back of a mixer? See, total noob...

In the M30 manual, under the maintenance section, it says to "plug an AC voltmeter into the access send". I know this is a total noob question, but are ac voltmeters different than a regular multimeter? How do you "plug in" to RCA jacks with these? Sorry for the noobery...

Yeah everything checks out. I wonder if this stuffs just "old". Im amazed that everyone here seems to be getting such low noise performance from their equipment. All ive ever gotten is mass noise. But ive never calibrated or had anything serviced either. Ive always been afraid to simply because...

ya Yeah, i wondered if maybe this machine was designed for the other tape, but i bought this one because i also have a 388 that im trying to get working, and i wanted a tape i could test on either. What are the benefits/etc of using SM911 vs LPR35 for this type of machine sound/function wise?

As far as i can tell, yes. Another thing i just found out is that the playback signal coming off the tape is significantly less volume than what went in. What might be causing this? I am using RMGi LPR35 btw.

well I got the new tape, just tested it out. It sounds alot better than the old tape, which is a relief to me. Still, the overall noise level of the mixer and recorder seems a bit high to me. The tape itself barely seems to add hiss, its the electronics of the machines thats adding it i...

nah No its not the pots, there arent any on this recorder, its just rca jacks on the back. I ran some cable from the recorder line outputs to my Tascam M30 and the noise was pretty bad. So i tried running the outs into the ins of my Tascam FW-1804 and it was exactly the same result, even the...

so far I was listening to the outputs of this recorder, not with any sound coming through it, just the noise from that machine itself, and its pretty damn loud. Im used to some of my older equipment having some "sssssssss" in the background, but this thing is like...

Thanks for the info Thanks for those scans! I googled it and 99 percent of the returns are for the newer and more "pro" 44, not this one, so its tough to find anything. I found some discussion on a forum or something, and one of the guys was saying that the 44 had a lower quality transport...

I just got a Tascam 44. Not the model with the NR or the one with the inputs, but im still pretty happy because it was 135 bucks and it was local. The dude even brought it to my house. So far the belt looks good, the pinch roller looks good, the heads look good, and everything lights up. I...
