Hello there, I recently posted in regards to running my tape machine (tascam 48 1/2" 8 track) in parallel with the delta 1010, I was wondering, I'll probably put the delta as the first in the chain, does it have a true bypass, where the monitored signal goes straight through to its outs without...

wasnt sure where to put this, it's also in "studio construction": Hello, I am about to begin construction on a digital (Delta 1010)/ analog (Tascam 48 1/2" 8 track) studio, and was wondering what would be the most optimal way to wire the two together without having to repatch, so that either...

Hello, I am about to begin construction on a digital (Delta 1010)/ analog (Tascam 48 1/2" 8 track) studio, and was wondering what would be the most optimal way to wire the two together without having to repatch, so that either medium can be tracked to and transferred from one to the other. I...

I was wondering if I could get some opinions on some older Tascam mixers, late 70s early 80s, specifically the M512 or M-50 and similar ilk with regards to mic pre quality, EQ and the such. . i have an opportunity to pick one up rather cheaply and was wondering if i will be able to achieve a...

this goes along with the Sony mixer thread i started, this will be the last time i dredge it up, i promise, but. . http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=924211817&category=23785 is the board, and it has a good picture of the connector. . how would i convert this to XLR, and how...

I found a very nice looking sony mixing board, 12 channels with oodles of features (compression, limiting). . very pro looking, lots of options. . one problem, it's a broadcast board, and the connectors on it are these completely bizarre things that look like parallel computer connectors (they...

Well, getting the reel to reel 8 track (see my post below). . and now, of course, i need to do a mixer upgrade (i'm sick of my little mackie 1202VLZ, and need more channels and better pre's anyways). . my next investment will probably be a mixer, followed by a nice outboard pre (I have a good...

Well, okay. . . I've been dreaming of having a nice tape machine for a while, and I finally got what I think to be a very nice bargain. . . http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1392919087 A Tascam M48 recorder, 1/2 inch 15ips tape (professional spec) with the remote and all for...

Just set up a website with some of my stuff, http://www.originalcyndi.com . . . i'm trying for a dirty rock sound, think early stones. . basic tracks done on a Tascam 8 track cassette portastudio (the big blue one, i forget the specific model, 488?) with a CAD VT-1 Tube mic, CAD E-350, ART Pro...

Hello, I recently purchased a DBX 566 dual compressor on ebay at a rather nice price. . I think i am eventually going to invest in a 586 dual pre so i will in effect have two gold channels. . however, i have a question. . Can the compressor be used as a pre-amp by itself? I mean, besides the...

I see various models on ebay for affordable prices, however they are usually not racked (just raw modules). I was wondering what the opinion was of these pres, and if anyone knows of an affordable place to have them racked/powered (I am not experienced in such things)?

I have been seeing some very decent used prices on these microphones. . I was wondering what the general opinion of them are?? I am trying for a definite british vintage rock sound (T Rex, 60s-early70s Stones), would this suit my needs at all?

Hello, I posted the following in "the rack" section, i figure it may be more appropriate here, however:All right gentlemen, as a long time lurker I have deduced that this is probably the best place to seek advice for my upcoming project. It will be a very piecemeal thing, since I want to create...
