    IN PRAISE OF WD40

    I'll pass on the bread application, But The scalpe/brain application might be worthy of consideration,exploration.Montys uncle surely did'nt apply this shit on his shoulder to be popular... or un popular..All those dead brain cells taking up valuable "real estate" who knows?

    IN PRAISE OF WD40

    As some of you know from reading my posts,I just bought a porta one. I really like this deck for it's portable nature and I'm impressed with it's quality sound. It kinda broke after 2 hours of use. It was finicky right from the start and went down hill from there. tape play/record heads would...

    Does Rode make a stereo condenser mike

    Interesting....Then fom the standpoint of captureing reality in the sense of what is actually being played/heard,would it be fair to say using one mic, like a small condensor,panning to the center of your recorder,captureing 2 tracks would be preferred over using two different Mics placed apart?

    My 234 arrived yesterday,Sounds super,great addition to my 238 for live multitrack gigs.Yes, they built em solidly in those days,real quality workmanship when a buck was a buck.Japan. I'm sure the 238 "S" version must be great,Killer,But I am real happy with my DBX version,The "S" version would...

    Tascam 688 vs Tascam 238

    El Barto, They are the same deck. They both went into production in 1989.They carried very hefty price tags, The 238 went for 1899.00 and the 688 went for 3200.00 and change. Alot of money even by todays standards. I have read that the 238 was developed to spec out and sound like the 8 track...

    Should I Chuck The Analogue & Go Digital?

    Cassette and 1/4 inch tape have their limitations for sure,But for someone like myself it's perfect.I did not have to mortgage my future to get my gear,I understand it,mostly, and still can make great sounding tapes. I figure if I do record in a "Full Blown studio" some day,It makes more sense...

    Normal tape on fast player?

    Buy a used Porta 1 on ebay. Not nearly as expensive as the 424,Watch and wait, You should find one for around 100.00. Runs at 1 7/8 speed,has diret outs so you can use that great mixer in the 688, and you gain a portable 4 track for your travels

    Tascam 244

    I know it runs at 3 3/4 speed and the 246 which I own replaced the 244,starting in 1985. I'll bet it's a hefty, solid unit

    Should I Chuck The Analogue & Go Digital?

    There is alot to be said for anolog.As a self confessed computer Knowledgable person,You of all people have quite a few frontieres open to you.I'm stuck in 1985, know very little about computers,They are the present and future in recording at least in a stationary situation. I think maybe you...

    How about the tascam 234?

    I'm staying anolog, at least for the forseeable future. One day I'll take the plunge and get a DA38 but for now I'm very happy with my stuff. I keep it in ex. shape and covered in my smoke free home studio.It's all Vintage Japan made gear.I'm not looking for a record deal, This gear is...

    How about the tascam 234?

    As a vintage tascam anolog junky, I'm also the winning bidder for a low use 234.I added this to my collection for these reasons. When I play live,and if the sound man is not harried,I'll only use my 238 if the sound man has the band miked and I can get individual tracks to the deck.The porta 1...

    Has Anyone used a Porta 1?

    That is so cool that you got it used and like it and it still can do the job today if the need arises.The way I see it,they built these decks in Japan back when a buck was a buck and they did'nt cut corners.I love my old battleship tascam 246 but won't bring it out. The seller said The porta 1...
