    Setting gain in multi-stage (phono preamp -> 10/4 box -> Presonus interface) setup?

    Setting gain in multi-stage (phono preamp -> 10/4 box -> Presonus interface) setup? Hello, all. I'm looking to record LPs onto a MacBook Pro using a Presonus USB AudioBox. I'll be using a Radio Shack standalone phono preamp, with an Aphex 124-A 10/4 box to match the preamp's RCA outputs to the...

    Please recommend a P-mount phonograph cartridge!

    I just bought a Technics SL-QD33 direct drive turntable. This unit has a straight tonearm, a fairly heavy plinth, and is factory-adjusted for 1.25g tracking force and anti-skate. Neither parameter appears to be manually adjustable. I bought the new turntable for two reasons: (1) So Lt. Bob...

    Joy of joys! I may finally get a usable studio space!

    Got back together with my ex a few weeks ago. She has a house in a quiet rural area. Come to find out, she's into home recording too. So there wouldn't be any conflicts with roommates who don't share my interests. There's enough space for a big live room and a good-sized control room right off...

    MidiSport 4x4 on MacBook Pro?

    First of all, I don't own the Mac and don't intend to ever own one. I'm trying a few things out with it, and if they don't work, that's just too bad. That said, I installed the driver for my version of OS/X, rebooted, and plugged the MidiSport into the USB port. Nothing happened. The device...

    Replace Tascam M-300 series VU lamps with LEDs?

    As many of us are finding out, the 8V axial lamps are darned near impossible to find at a sane price. I'm considering replacing them with white LEDs, but I suspect it won't be a simple drop-in replacement. What circuit modifications would one need to make to get this to work? Thanks, Jim

    Overpriced thrift store junk!

    Now the thrift stores are taking a cue from greedy Fleabay sellers! :mad: I saw a beat-to-hell TEAC Model 5 in a flea market this weekend. Not only is it missing knobs and fader caps, some of the pot and fader shafts are broken off. Dude is convinced he's gonna get $1200 for it in that...

    Does changing tape formulations always require re-calibrating the deck?

    I want to practice mixing on some used UD 35 (900') and then print my final mixes on virgin RMGI LPR35 (1800'). The LPR35 is a substitute for UD-XL 35, not UD 35, but my owner's manual lumps the two Maxell tapes together in the same bias and eq switch settings. Would I still need to have the...

    How much "air" is too much?

    I'm listening to some Earth Wind & Fire songs that George Massenburg mixed around the mid-1980s. Like many CDs from that era, the high frequency energy seems excessive and unpleasant to me. Is there such a thing as the frequency response being "too good"?

    Replacing volume pot in a hi-fi amp

    I have a Technics SU-V3 that's in great condition other than a busted volume pot. I have my eye on a Noble replacement pot that is of the correct resistance (100 kOhms). How can I tell if it will physically fit the PCB pinout of the original pot? Are the dimensions fairly standardized?

    Networking two MOTU MIDI Time Pieces?

    I already had a parallel port version that works great with Windows XP. That one also has two 8-pin mini-DIN jacks labelled "Mac" and "network". I just picked up an even older one dirt cheap that has three 8-pin mini-DIN jacks labelled "Mac", "network", and "modem". Can I daisy chain this one...

    Tape for TEAC A-4300SX?

    The owner's manual shows bias and EQ settings for several brands and formulations. Which tape has the best chance of being in usable condition and not shedding all over the place? Teac A-4300SX Owner's Manual

    The origin of house music

    For those interested in that sort of thing. In a 1988 interview, Detroit techno artist Juan Atkins describes how house music started in Chicago with a TR-909 and a Boss sampler. Juan Atkins

    Korg SQD-1 MIDI sequencer

    Made in 1986 or thereabouts. I fooled around and won one of these in mint condition on Ebay for $65, half hoping someone would outbid me. It comes with five of the elusive 3" Mitsumi Quick Disk floppies. Anyone ever use one of these?
