Too funny. I would describe my outboard exactly the same way. KT Square-1 Compressors. DBX 903s and 263s, Lexicon LXP-15s, Old TC Electronics effects and delays. I guess if you want a Tascam M3500/M3700 console you think about mixing in a certain way. I love scooping up undervalued older gear...

I'm so jealous! A series of moves meant I just couldn't hold onto M3500, or the M3700. Loved them. I never had any problems. But, I just couldn't find a place a store them for what turned out to be 7 years... I finally have a spot go setup my equipment permanently and I miss having them. And...

What a treasure trove that site is. Wow.

Mixers with decent EQs? #1 - I'd take a look around for the Speck Electronics 16 channel EQ units, the EQ16 or the SSM 16. I picked one up an EQ16 a few years ago for $300 and I've been happy with it. You can wire it to have two channels of EQ on 8 inputs, or the fully 16 channels on 16 inputs...

Lots of great folks on this forum, but I bet many of us would easily agree that Sweetbeats is a cut above.

The lack of inserts would be be an issue for me. If you're tracking via external preamps, you could go from Preamp to compressor and then into the line input on the board, allowing you to use the board's A/D interface.. That's not a problem. But, if you are hoping to use the PC as a...

I'd bet the CS8 unit requires a PC, like the Mackie unit. Cool tech, that I have come very close to buying more than once... That MIDI only unit looks cool. Capture, and then playback those MIDI files in the same session... perfection.

Glad to hear you're in good shape! I'm always looking for a good tech. Where are you, and who did you use? Do they fix things that arrive by mail? :)

Can the tech repair it? Needs some new capacitors maybe?

Looking forward to learning what went wrong... I hope it's something simple too! Good luck!

Could the display portion just not be connected properly? I'd open it back up and just have a good, slow, look 'round to see if something was crimped, cut, or wiggled loose.

Looks great. Might be best to start a thread of your own as well, so we can follow along!

Aaah. Makes sense! That fidelity of the recording didn't sound like an analog mix to me, so your process makes a lot of sense. Use each tool for what it does best. Thanks!

Yes please! I too have a TSR-8, which I love. I'd love to hear how you tracked and mixed the project. Was the TSR-8 a 'pass through' on the way to the DAW? Or, did you complete the project all on the analog side and them capture the final mix digitally?

Tell me much MUCH more about the process. Sounds great!

I'm sure there are no directions, but it's pretty easy. You'll see it in there when you pull a fader bank out of the M3700. It has two small screws that you'll need to undo and then unplug the cables from both ends. Easy to do, just time consuming when you have 32+1+8 of them to do :)

No worries. I meant a 'Direct Message' here on the forum. You should have a little envelope icon toward the top right of the screen where you can look for them. I'll send you a DM now.

I used to own both, so here goes :) 1.) No. They are nearly identical. Some switches are different, because they were automate-able, but generally speaking, the two boards are the same with the M3700 having some automation features added. 2.) Yes. I did this as well. The only 'hiccup' is that...

Hello All, I've had a Tapco 2200 for some time and I used to use it with some frequency until it started to get too scratchy to be workable. It's a Stereo/Dual Mono 10band Graphic EQ that I always found easy to use and, more or less, invisible sounding. I pulled it out of the rack today and did...
