Thank you man, really glad you like it :-) This is my all time favourite danish band so recording them was obviously a great experience for me. I probably should just do edits for the future. However I mix down to Audacity in 48/24 and editing in Audacity is a PITA - add to that the laptop sits...

Morgan Square Happy new year everyone... so glad 2016 eventually chose to f*ck off. Here's a recording of some friends I did in 2015. Due to lots of messy circumstances it havn't seen the light of day before now. These guys played psychedelic rock with odd structures and great melodies and did...

Dude, excellent song and very good production. Really dig the voice. Kind of shoegazy but without the excessive and over the top digital reverb. And the Fostex Model 80 is a sweet machine. Girlfriend digs it too.

Hey there... this is my first post so far on the digital recording forum, I'm usual at Analog Only but now I come begging the enemy for help :D So the situation is this... I'm recording my friends shoegaze project. We're doing drums and other basic tracks on tape, dumping the tracks to digital...

JP dude, thanks a great deal :-) Sound advice. It's a DDA Q 32 channel version. The PSU has been fixed up quite a bit by a great tech and he installed a fan as it had issues when I ran it for some hours. It's been perfect since. Must be honest to say I don't know if the fan is blowing or sucking...

I'm one of these dumbasses who havn't got a rack yet. Just got a Dynacord Echocord Mini from a mate and as it stands haven't got space for it anywhere but on top of the PSU for the desk. The PSU has a retro fitted fan and the there's almost a centimeter/0,39 inches between the units. Wondering...

Good advice in the posts above. However compression might be worth it as well, especially with a wee bit of gate to eliminate noise from the mic and preamp. Compressing before hitting the tape are best for signal to noise ratio, especially on narrow track machines. Loads of cheap but usuable...

I had dropff issues with RMGi tape after they changed their location to France, that is since Pyral took over from whatever factory in Holland. It was on 1/2" SM911 on my Fostex G16 that have never shown any issues with dropoffs. So I'd suspect the tape, if you can try with a BASF/EMTEC/dutsch...

You mean to get the delay to sound like a reverb? Is it because you don't have a reverb? In my experience you need to use several delays or send the same delay to itself through the desk to get some reverb-ish. I've sometimes done this as I don't like my cheap Alesis digital reverb or my equally...

Yeah, you're right JP - the same thing occured to me. We're working very much in the heat of the moment. The lead vocal was recorded with a B&O BM5 ribbon mic up close with a AKG Perception 100 behind Lenny on the concrete corridor for some natural reverb. The backing vocals was done without...

Sounds great RFR, that's a proper classic rock vibe you got going there :-) New song recorded two days ago by my new band Electric Scar. Speaks volumes about Lennys voice and songwriting that it sounds great despite my lack of drumming skills :D This time we're messing around with a gospel...

Using the "wrong" tape can sometimes be usefull, don't know the tape in question though. I used to enjoy feeding my eight track Fostex AGFA PE36 from the 70's. However I don't think limited frequency response will get you closer to a vintage sound. On the contrary I think the 1" eight tracks...

Thanks JP :-) Wouldnt claim that I truly got my head around it though it kindda makes sense. It's curious that there's not a commonly used term to describe this way of measuring audio quality. Could be one of the reasons why many people like the sound of tape better? As it seems digital systems...

Hey there... it's been a while... hope you're all doing well out there. I was reading this article where Mike Spitz mentions a term called "transitions" as a way of measuring audio quality. It left me wondering what that means? Havn't been able to find anything usefull on Google, though I might...

The M80 is belt driven too, I got new belts for mine at Ebay. Can be had quite cheap, there's at least one guy that makes them brand new. Don't know if you got any experience repairing these things but if you don't I recommend you get a tech to do it. At least I was clumsy to change belts in...

Haha, fucking hilarious... On a slightly different note I'm in a new band now playing primitive rock 'n' roll with this amazing british singer I've been listening to since I was 18. So it's quite a honour. No digital effects or anything like that. This is a rough mix, there'll be a few more...

You guys are a bit tough on the lad who is obviously a noob. Your tape recorder will as mentioned earlier be nearly useless for actual recording. However if the heads and mechanical parts are alright it might be fine for a mixdown machine if you're after a rough garage rock or punk sound...

Sorry for being absent for so long, real life is quite busy these days. Got the PSU back from repair a couple of months ago and it's running perfectly well. It's been recapped, got other regulators and a fan. The repair guy suspected that we'd been sold the PSU for the smaller 24 track version...

Wow, thats a serious desk - congratulations Miro

JP, you're like a human encloypedia regarding these things - thanks comrade :-) What does all these things with "remanent sat. flux" and nwb mean? It's related to how you calibrate a machine right? Can these be translated to terms as +3, 6+, etc. as for bias? Anything a not-as-technically...
