Hey everyone, haven't posted on here for a LONG time (so much so that my account was deactivated), but I'm having a lot of difficulty getting my Alesis Midiverb II to work properly with my Steinberg US44 and Logic Pro X and I believe you are the only ones that can help me. I will try my best to...

keeping with my history of only posting on here when I'm having some sort of crisis, I've got a question for yall about my Tascam 424 Mkiii portastudio. basically it produces recordings that cut in and out at random intervals, sometimes on just one channel, sometimes on the entire track. I know...

Hello there. I've been using my NAD 6325 stereo cassette deck to dub lots of tapes and I think it's starting to take its toll on the ol' thing, meaning every once in a while it makes a loud squeaking sound and shuts off. Any idea how to resolve this issue? Is the tape deck toast, or at least in...

so I've scoured the archives of this board to avoid asking another dumb question, but I've come up with nothing that deals with my situation directly... I've recorded my band using all four tracks of the 424 mkiii, and my plan was to mix it all down onto another type-II cassette tape and add...

maybe I should post this in the mixing category but you guys are always unbelievably helpful. I know little to nothing about mixing with an external mixer from my tascam 424 mkiii, so if this turned into a general discussion about what would compliment it well I'd be overjoyed. I choose this...

hey all, so I've got this MICROSOUND MR-64 mulitrack cassette recorder that my friend bought at some yard sale. it looks real cool and even works kind of. the record function works, at least as far as the VU meters indicate, but it's the playback function that's messed. it only works when the...

just starting a new thread from the discussion in the 'need new turntable cartridge: opinions?'. I've had to toss my old record player and replace it with something. the problem is I have next to no money I can shell out for this purchase - as essential as it is to me food and rent just have to...

hiya, right now I am baking a tape in a food dehydrator in a windowless room. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT!!?? by that I mean, do you think there are noxious gases emanating from the tapes? how long do you think I have before I pass out? I opened the door and have a fan blowing out it. I'd love to...

Heeyall, I just scored a super fly Marantz PMD 201 tape recorder and I'm wondering: What's a good/inexpensive mic I could use with it? I have some mics that will work for recording music and close up talking (SM57s/8s, ect.), but what's up with those cool chrome ones I see the journalists with...

Howdy, i am currently conducting a digitization project of reels and cassettes from the 70s. everything has been going swimmingly thus far, but today i started on the reels and have encountered a horrible problem: the b-sides of the reels are playing backwards over the a-sides. By that I mean...

Hello there, I have found myself with the duty of digitizing hundreds of cassette tapes for a library. I am using the equipment available there: a Yamaha MW10 mixer/converter and a shiny mac with Logic. The process is going fine except for one horrible thing: the recordings I have been making...

Hey there, last week I inquired about cleaning my tape heads with some 99% isopropanol and an eye-shadow applicator pad. I was given the green light and went for it. Things seemed to work out well... But it was a disaster! Well, at least on my walkman it was. (Nothing bad came of my sony tape...

Hey there, I live in a land where no audio supply stores seem to carry the lintless q-tip devices necessary for cleaning tape heads. But the gentleman in one of those audio stores has suggested I buy some 99% Isopropanol, which I found at my local drug store... But the doubt lies in my...

Hey there, I have a Tascam 424 mkiii, which I have used for recording pretty simple songs, not lots of tracks, guitars and vocals and keyboards and such, but never more than four things at once. Well, now I am planning on using the tape recorder to record a full rock and roll band, with much...
