What the others say make sense. However it could be more simple than that. I sometimes had problems with the edge tracks on my G16 after mixing or dubbing on the same song for a long while, especially when using Quantegy 456 and recent SM911. The high speed FF and RW can get the tape to sit...

It depends quite a lot on the singer and genre. I mostly record rock 'n' roll, psychedelic rock, punk and garagerock with the occasional folk, metal or weird ass stuff. Usually I go with the stock preamps of our DDA Q desk to a GL Audio 5021 comp on moderate settings. Only recording on tape...

Thanks a bunch mate, really glad to hear :) I agree and struggled with just that part during mixing. That particular vocal was one of the only things that wasn't quite carefully recorded, basically I had done vocals myself I hated and just ended up partying with some friends six in the morning...

Been messing around with this since March now inbetween recording other bands and playing some rock 'n' roll. There's a lot of inspiration from Turkish 70's psychedelia along the lines of Erkin Koray and Selda Bagcan. I found it important to keep a lot of spontanity in the process and as I keep...

Really nice one. + 1 to the low end. Is that an e-bow? How did you record this?

Hope I dont go way too much off point here, don't mean to force ny highly subjective opinions on you. But I've concluded so far that overheads is a bit overrated if you don't have a great room and a drummer who can really control the volume of the cymbals. Almost every amateur or semipro...

Alright, so this band I recorded a few months ago had some other guy do the mastering. Sounds okay but suffers from the classic problem of digital mastering for everyone but the very best ME's: slightly hyped and plastic like highs and high mid. So can any of you send it through a two track...

Bummer. From the last two or three SM911 I ran the problem have been partially sorted. Still not as stable on the edge tracks as BASF SM911 but somehow acceptable, glad to see their quality control has improved. BTW, Altruistica... I didn't know Zonal used to make 1" tape. How does it compare...

Wow, thats a lot of interesting answers... thanks guys :-) The Little Labs thing seems interesting but is quite pricey for what I'm looking for. The multitrack is indeed -10 and the desk is +4 but there's no audible problems with gainstaging on the actual desk. I do run really hot level on tape...

Hey guys, its been a while. Still run a Fostex G16C and DDA Q desk, mixing down to digital 2 track and still working nicely. However it has annoyed me for a while that I have to turn the desk way down low not to clip digital since our EMU 0404 doesn't have a pad. I had a non-functional MCI...

Wow, there's a lot of nice mic lockers here. Mine ain't that crazy yet but works fine. On the hunt for a Sennheiser MD421 or two and a 414 as soon as my shitty monetary situation allows me to. Oktava MK-319 Neuman KMS105 SM57's (3) SM58's (2) Beyer Dynamic M201 TG AKG D112 Beyer Dynamic XM-D 58...

My band had just expanded from a duo to a quartet with a permanent backing singer and a drummer. Which means I can focus on playing guitar and recording which suits me fine :-) The a-side are a bit of a class war song and the b-side is our first cover. We fucking love soul music. As always...

Thanks, that sounds like a useful hint :-) It's my impression they generally had lots of inspiration from Ampex. I'll take some pictures when I get back to the studio tomorrow and post them on Friday. Thanks once again, you're a hero.

Sweetbeats... first of all sorry for the late reply. Had a bit too much to do lately for once. Thanks a bunch for the manual, think I found the right one somewhere else too. Got a new question though... Is it cables like these I new for the JH110? Tuchel Connectors | Redco Audio

Wow, that would be excellent - thanks a lot dude :thumbs up: These things are tricky to find, kind of weird considering how common a machine the JH-110 are.

Personally I only like sound of DI if I need a ultra dry in your face fuzzy sound for instance like the one on "Revolution" with The Beatles. Can be good for that ultra clean 80's funk/disco sound too. Matter of taste - and practical stuff too I guess. Don't really agree with the poster who...

Very good stuff indeed. Dig the music - and brilliant sound on the toms. Somehow reminds me of Foghat, Black Sabbath and some of those heroin fuelled 90's bands as Electric Wizard. Can I find it in WAV/FLAC or at least 320 MP3 somewhere?

Thanks a bunch for your replies. Chris Mara confirmed that I need a cable between "deck" and "power" on the transport. Meanwhile the owner is looking for it and the manual and a guy from a studio in Denmark using lots of MCI is maybe willing to sell me one however he needs a diagram. Perhaps he...

Very usefull advice, thanks a lot :-) Mine has lots of red sockets so that's a task ahead that needs sorting out - gonna have to ask a tech to do it though, I'm clumsy with a soldering iron. Would have to learn to reseat the logic boards. However I'm almost certain that what causes the issue at...

Might be however when I move the tape by hand it passes audio. They have small stickers saying 3 and 4. Did locate something on a circuit board saying 3 and 4 too but they wouldnt fit. On the PSU there's an empty slot saying "deck". Could it be that I just need another cable to feed power to...
