I was actually wondering about that...since I don't have much experience with outboard preamps. So when using an outboard preamp, what's the best way to go about hooking everything up to my mixer? I'm assuming: Mic>Preamp, 1/4" cable from the Pre> Mixer channel's line in, correct? I'd be...

-I'm using the RNC in my mixer insert only. It's between the EH 12AY7 and FMR RNP, hopefully I'll find a good deal on a used one.

I finally got it to work. Had to open 2 applications of ntrack, one is syncing my computer and tape deck...and the other is recording incoming audio from 8 track.

Thanks for the informative post! :) Do you think the EH 12AY7 would work well with a sure sm57 mic as well (guitar cab, etc)?

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this, but since most of my posts are analog related and I will be using it on my analog mixer/deck... I was wondering what some good choices are for a new or used preamp. I don't want to go over $200.00, which I'm sure limits my choices a lot. My...

Btw when I hit record on the computer it says "waiting for incoming sync signal" not "waiting for midi", my mistake.

Yes the Delta has a MIDI In and Out. Im using a 2010 Dell pc with windows 7 lots of ram etc... The software is called "ntrack" and its always worked well for my minimal digital use, just to cut and line up analog tracks, works fine when transferring without a sync, but that of course limits me...

Thought of that but it doesn't matter even if there's only audio on track 2 for example, still no luck. The problem IMO is on the PC end (I think), the M80 is in immaculate condition and recently calibrated. Not much crosstalk as far as I can tell. And yes code is on track 8 (tried other...

Ok I'll try my best... When I'm using a "synth track" metronome or virtual drums for example, from pc to tape deck and pps2...the tape deck records and plays back in time. However, when I have instruments filled on tape for some reason my computer isn't recording them and syncing at the same...

Got it working...this is awesome!!

The purists probably wont like this post, but anyway... I'm tracking with a Fostex Model 80 and my sound card is a Delta 1010lt sync with JLC pps-2. Ive got everything working as far as the sync between the Fostex and my DAW goes, they line up in time. The trouble Im having is I'd like to...

Really curious to try this...but I have no idea how. I am using mackie 1642 vlz mixer and also a Fostex Model 80 for tracking this effect (will use on guitar and vocals).

yes its not the easiest deck to calibrate, ive come to notice. :(

I think my 22-2 needs some tweeks, after a couple years of use, and 1 cross country move. I only have MRL "21J303-A" 1/4" calibration tape, which works great with my Fostex Model 80, but isn't intended for the Tascam 22-2. Is there a way around this? Can I possibly use it to adjust the 22-2...

Thanks! Picking it up tomorrow.

I was wondering if these compare to DBX I or Dolby C. - and which are they more like? Found one for $45 at local shop...is that a good price? Also I know these are best intended for 8 tracks, but will they work well with my Tascam 22-2?

Not using NR on a 1/4" tape 8 track isn't such a good idea IMO. Get's way too much hiss.

I think I have the Model 80 manuals as .pdf if anyone needs 'em. Dont pay for them!

-right, going to have to remix those 2 songs.

There are 2 tracks (out of 8) that Im mixing where I feel the there's hiss on certain parts...it's not much but enough to bother me at louder eq'd/mastered levels. Usually it's non problematic but present, yes machine is demagged regularly. I doubt I'll be using the DBX regularly...so I'm...
