oh sweet! definetley gonna watch some of the ads. ATR sells a new reel for 179$, together with shipping it's not a "casual" purchase. thanks!

wow, that's a nice deal actually. Miroslav, have you got experience tracking on a 1'' tape? especially 24 tracks. i've got my final year project coming up (audio engineering studies) , and planning on recording for the first time on the Tascam MSR24S. currently i'm in the process of getting all...

I'm not familier with this specific model, and i'm not entirely sure of how the assignment section functions, but if you have already took apart the machine, get a good print of the schematics, mark the path for group one, and trace this path component after component, using a multimeter. if you...

Well, it ended up taking some time untill me and the seller found out a good timing for inspecting this console, but there she is(!!:D) : I was a bit skeptic about the purchase, but at the first look i was pretty sure it's going back home with me. it's just a really fine example of a...

Hey fellas I run a little homy studio, pretty much satisfied with the gear i use (tascam 238, akai mg614 as the heart of it) but i do feel like getting an old Tascam mixing console. and oh boy does this old consoles looks awesome (photo's off google) Theres a wee little studio around my town...

pretty sure it's the tascam porta 07. or a relative from this series. the pedal might be the Boss Tera echo. or the boss digital delay.

thanks Findlay for your awesome input! iv'e learned somthin' today . yes, freq response was my first concern. the S/N ratio is important, but one of the fact i turned to analog recordings is the noise :) and the 238 seems really well build so i'd think they used the best parts to make the...

Hola ! So to make it short both the 234 and the 238 got some great specs and lots of love in the analog 'scene'. but one issue that hasn't been adressed afaik is the significant difference in track(s) width use on both machine. the 234 uses the 4 tracks on the cassette just as any other...

Nice man! i've been offered a TASCAM M512 in very nice overall condition,but im not sure wether it woul'd need recaping. I know the guy who's selling it and he's a good man. He owns a studio and recalled that he did not had any sound deterioration using the console. But might it be inevitable...

I have contacted NAC too and they responed that the 771 shoul'd be back in 3 4 weeks. That would be strange if they just decided to stop making it, since more and more people showing interest in cassette based recordings.

YES this book is already on it's way :) i did read tho that it deals mostly with fourtracks. is it true?

Hey guys. i'm looking for a few books to aquire, that will help me understand in depth the whole idea of magnetic recordings, tape recordings and analog workflow as a concept. i study a 2 years sound course, with little to no reference to the good old ways. Lurking around, i found a few options...

yup . hi z mics are usually either 50 years old or the ones your get for 5.99 at the gas station. the 244 can handle the sm57 or any other mic. i would suggest a good all rounder condenser mic for more lively results. for 200 300 bucks you can get a decent one. Aston origin and ADK vienna mk8...

On the top of the input channel you got the input slector for "mic/line" or "tape". therefor the inputs can handle both signals. As for HI Z , that's usually found in electric guitars. all professional mics that i know are LOW Z (100-200ohms or so). i couldn't find in the manual anything about...

WOW that is some useful information ! thanks witzendoz. so yes, Im gonna assemble it back after cleaning and give it a try. if i spot distortion when engaging dolby, its off to the tech then :rolleyes: i am miles away of being skilled enough to do this kind of work.

thanks jp! if the chip goes wrong, is there any way to see it physically? I would prefer to know that in advance, to avoid any domino effect damage by powering it up and test it.

good to know:cool: done with the power supply, i assembled it back together and vuala it's powers up. diving into the tape itself..photos attached. the units inside are actually well isolated so it appears that most of the dirt got stuck in the upper side. meanwhile, it's seems like a tough...

so as my project procced (very slowly, with the intense university studies), i have got my DSUB cable, and im into cleaning the tape as it was lying in the previous owners half-open kitchen which was essentialy a big dust turbulence. starting with the power supply, what didn't i find there...

Rightio..just wanted to be on the safe side gonna post a few recordings using it later this month..iv'e got a project coming up. cheers guys

actually not :) i was just not sure that it'd be safe to plug in a line level source, i will give it a test later this week and see how it goes. thanks !
