ok the ff seems to be going twice as fast as the rr, and when I stop the rr there is that kinda squeek for as second after I stop it:eek:. Im sure that the tape is threaded right...

thanks sweetbeats. So youd reccommed staying away from NOS, at least for this first "test"? I live in a small part of canada, so whatever I get I'll have to order, it would be nice if they still made NAB adaptors! that junk tape is on 7" so I think I'll get 10 1/2 but need to get some adaptors...

thanks. getting a new reel isnt a problem but getting someone to record a few tunes on it is. also, what am I looking for when checking head wear? whats normal, ect. what type of tape would you reccommed? thanks for the help

ahhh where to start.. Ive had this mixdown deck (atr 700) for mabye over a year half now, and being a musician way more so than a engineer, recordist (is that a word?) or whatever I eventually went back to doing everything digital (ahh!) aaanyway my analog bug is back and I will eventually get a...

thanks everyone. soooo if I wanted to use this as a 1" 8 track I would just need to switch the heads?

Hey guys, I live in Canada and came accross this last nite http://montreal.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-musical-instruments-Multi-Piste-Ampex-1-W0QQAdIdZ100884374 the seller doesnt say what model it is, and the price seems extremely low for a 1" 8 track. can anyone tell me about this machine? Im...

ok thanks, see my di has no internal power supply, it doesnt plug in a wall, and for some reason the only way I could get it doing it things was to have a pre in the signal chain. but Im gunna try it like you said. post soon with resluts! thanks everyone for their help

see if I go RCA out from the 1608, the the cable would have to have either an 1/4 at the other end to go to a di then xlr to the atr, or just an rca end with xlr striaght to the atr from the 1608. wouldnt that only record on half of one channell though on the atr?

when I say mixer I mean Im using the mixer built into my mrs 1608, its like a siab but the only thing I use it for is as a recorder now that I have a nice preamp, and the stuff I record requires very little eq'ing. so let me put it this way, I got my stuff recorded on this machine, and it only...

thanks. I just checked the tape and made sure its contacting all three heads. and the oxide side of the tape is touching the heads (the lighter side of the tape, right?) and yes when I moniter it I have it set to tape. so I tried dumping some digital on it a few moments ago, played it back and...

Hey, sorry its been awhile. so I tried dumping some digital stuff onto the atr and watched the levels which were going into the red of course at times, so I just thought at worst when I play this back its going to be distorting and sound bad at times. whatever, just a test. so I play it back...

hey Im new to this board and just came across this forum. Ive been recording digital almost as long as Ive been playing and I decided to make the jump (suicide?hah) to analog, for various reasons. anyway I am much more of a musician who is trying to learn how to record well then any kind of...

I figured as much (that I threaded it incorrectly) Im gunna try and find an owner/service manuel right now. thanks

nice! hey ethan, that does look amazing with oak sides dude! I cant wait to get mine back into shape Justin

thank you again everyone! what a great place for a musician to get help with all this analog stuff! hah so where Im at now with the machine: I got the meters moving, and did a test record got some 1/4 tape, threaded it, but non of the functions work! what I mean is the rec ff rr ect. dont wanna...

hey sweetbeats, I just connected a shureKSM44 to my pacifica, then used the xlr out from the pre to the 1st imput of the deck and there were no signs of life!:eek: please help! what am I overlooking here? the vu lights are burnt out but the meters should still work eh?

ok I'll take some new pics this afternoon. how can I test the imputs? Ive got lots of mics but all the boards are have are digital with rca outs. I do have an ADesigns Pacifica pre, could I just plug a mic in there and then from the pre to the deck? just see if the meters move at all? I also...
