Hello all,
I am looking to add a two-channel mic preamp to my collection of equipment. I happened across an Apogee Trak 2 (probably over ten years old) for about $700. I have seen nothing but glowing reports about its preamps and its A-D/D-A converters. At the same time, it's an old dog and...
I sometimes come across older (70's is my guess) Tascam rack units on local auctions. There's a Tascam DL-2000 stereo compressor on sale right now. Is anyone familiar with this unit? Is it worth getting if it goes cheap? What better known maker's equipment would you compare it to?

If you check out the webpages of more than a few respected professional studios that offer digital recording (even though they may also provide analog) you'll often see that the studios' equipment lists include rather old but respected 16-bit/44.1 mHz digital effects units like the R-7, Rev-7...

The foundation for my songs is my voice and, for the...
I'm trying to find a way to get my hands on a schematic for the Fostex E-16 1/2" 16 track recorder. If anyone can help me with this I'd appreciate it. By the way, I live in Japan, which may limit my options, but feel free to make any suggestions you might have.
Thanks in advance.
I've been thinking about picking up a used Roland MMP-2 mic modeling preamp. When they first came out I saw a good review in an online magazine, and the specs look good. On the other hand, after coming out with a lot of hoopla and at a hefty price here in Japan, Roland quit producing them in a...
