I bought a cassette 4 track a while ago and also got a good mic and a lexicon Lpx 5.Is it my imagination or do these old reverb units put all software reverbs to shame?The difference is big and the Lpx isn't even one of their better models.I record all live instruments to tape first and then...

I'm looking for a good all around synth with with a sequencer.I'm from the old days when I used to have a drum machine,Juno-106,Ensoniq SQ-1(I think) and a Fostex 8 track reel to reel.I got out of recording for about 12 years and during that time I learned to use a computer,Fl Studio,software...

Anybody had mics modded recently from Oktavamod? I ordered a mod from them a couple days ago but haven't recevied shipping instructions or responses to my emails.Is he still in bussiness?

Hi, I just got a Lexicon Lpx 5 today off ebay.I'm using a Tascam 464 to record vocals and acoustic guitar with 1 mic.I'm not firmiliar with Lexicons,but I had a Midiverb many years ago.The reverb isn't what I'm used to,since I'm looking for more of a chamber type of effect than a delay.If anyone...

Can the pre amps on Tascam 4 tracks(model 464) be bypassed in order to use an external pre and is it worth the trouble?

Another noob question.I asked a similar question on another board.Will there be a difference in sound quality between using an RCA to 1/8" jack to my laptop and using an audio interface such as a Firebox? It's coming from a cassette and it's already mixed.I don't need separate tracks going to...

It's been quite a while since I've had a 4 track cassette recorder so I'll be bugging you guys with newbie question for a few weeks.Is there a way to sync(record at the same time) a cassette recorder and a camcorder? I'm guessing not,so How much can I expect them to be off? I'd like to record...

Hi, Does anyone know where I can get a manual for the Tascam 464? I've tried everywhere with no luck. If not,which model would be closest.

I've read that using soundfonts on a laptop computer can be a hassle.Does anyone have any experience doing this? Thanks, Stevebol

Can anyone tell me how to copywrite samples? I'm working on a sample CD.I'm totally clueless about this stuff so I guess it's time to find out. Thanks, Stevebol

was wondering if anyone is using one.Does this thing have to be switched(rec+play)every time?I'm waiting for cables to arrive so I haven't hooked it up yet. Thanks, Stevebol

I just got a Tascam Demagnetizer.When doing this should you actually touch the heads of the tape deck or just come close? I also picked up a DBX 150X Noise Redux for my Akai R-R(71/2" per second,1/4" tape).I might want to try one one of the Dolby units too.Would type A be right for my setup?

I'm going into a pre-amp to a tape deck(Akai),then to my computer.There's quite a bit of tape hiss by the time the samples get to the wave editor.The instrument I'm sampling isn't very loud so I have to just about max everything.I've been using the noise reduction in my wave editor but I'm not...

I didn't know where else to ask this but here goes..... Is it possible to take a hardware sequencer,maybe even a very old one,and modify it's memory somehow?What I mean is to take a number of very large digital samples on a soundcard,about 30 megs, and control the beginning and end loop points...

I'm sampling a drone instrument and would like to bring out the low frequencies a bit or, bring down the highs.I want the sound to "sizzle" but not as much as it is.I suppose I should choose between doing it at the pre-amp(Rane) or later in my wave editor.I guess I'm asking how can I "warm up"...

I'm recording an instrument called a Tambura.It's about the size of a cello and a lot of the sound comes from the neck.I would like to use 2 mics,one pointed at the main body about 1-2 feet away and the second mic somewhere else in the room.the room is about 12x30 feet.Then go mono into the...

After being away from analog R-R for a few years I'm getting ready to get back into it.Any Akai users have some tips?

I'm working on a Sounfont right now and would like to convert it to another format like Giga in the future.I have no idea how to go about it.Any suggestions?

Can a Midi keyboard be set to ignore a Note-off message when a key is released?For example,play a note for a second but don't hold it down,and the keyboard plays the entire sample(say a 10 second sample).

I just heard Creative Labs and Emu were going to discontinue everything and only produce soundcards.Audigy mainly for gaming and the new 1212-1820-1820M series for music production.It seems like this might be good.What do you think?
