    Porta 488mkII to CD? Possible?

    Re: Of Course! Eek, not the Microphone input. Only the Line In.

    Somewhat off-topic: Vegas Video

    I realize this isn't about home recording, but am I the only one that finds Vegas Video to be an extremely underrated product? Everyone seems to latch on to Premiere and AVID, but I prefer Vegas to both of them... Just wanted to vent.

    Nady Starpower 1

    Am I the only one absolutely amazed by the quality of this mic, especially considering it only costs $10. Then again, it's the first mic I've ever bought, so if I ever end up moving up to something better I'll probably be changing my tune.

    Porta 488mkII to CD? Possible?

    My personal favorite WAV recorder is Cool Edit Pro. Just wanted to voice an opinion. :) Question: I plan on doing something similar... would I lose anything by going from the headphone jack instead of the line outs? EDIT: As far as burning goes, Nero Burning Rom is my personal preference.

    Recording Phone Conversations

    That's odd, I've yet to encounter anything from Gator. If it's there, it's from CJB.net's ads, considering my website is on ad-free space. I'm going to run Ad-aware and check and see if I already have Gator's crap installed.

    Recording Phone Conversations

    I recently recorded an interview with Will Keenan of Tromeo and Juliet and Terror Firmer for my Troma fan site at http://tromafans.cjb.net and I wanted to know what's the best way to record phone conversations? For this, I used my cordless phone receiever's speakerphone, mic-ed with a Nady...

    Porta 02 recordings

    Hey, I was wondering if any Porta 02 owners could post some MP3s of their recordings. I just bought one on eBay and I'd like to hear what others have been capable of doing with it.

    Cassette Door Replacement

    Well, I bought a Tascam Porta 02 on eBay for $50 (see one of my other posts on this site) and it's missing the cassette dust door. Of course, I can get along without the door, but I'd rather replace it, since I'm sure it's not good to allow dust in the cassette mechanism. That's why I posted...

    Cassette Door Replacement

    Is there somewhere that I can buy replacement doors for cassette 4-tracks? I always find ones on eBay that are missing the door for some reason...

    Any one Porta 02 for sale?

    Precisely. I'm staying away from anything that wasn't made any time recently to keep from having the same problems again. The Porta 02 practically has the same recording capabilities of the Vesta Fire, but at standard speed, without the mixer and noise reduction. I also found someone who...

    Fostex X-12 vs. X-14

    I'm in Fairmont... I don't know if Freemont is some kind of nickname for it, but yeah... we're getting a nice amount of snow. I may have to cancel my film festival tomorrow night. :( Also, I've never heard of that band.

    Any one Porta 02 for sale?

    Yep. The repairman's first words "Okay, how old is this thing?" certainly weren't a good sign. So much stuff is worn out on the tape drive that I'd have to buy an entirely new one, which will be near impossible. I'm still going to use it as a mixer, however.

    Any one Porta 02 for sale?

    I'm looking for a replacement multitrack for mine that recently bit the dust and I'm quite fond of the Porta 02. Does anyone have a used one they wouldn't mind parting with for about $50?

    Fostex X-12 vs. X-14

    Hey, I have a question about the X-12 over the X-14. I read that the X-12 has a larger flywheel. How much of a difference does that make in the recorder?

    Fostex X-14

    bump.

    Fostex X-14

    I may be able to get one of these for $50. Is it worth it? Any notes on sound quality or performance? Also, I plan on using a 4-track that needs a new tape drive as a mixer for it... just thought I'd mention.

    Help: Solo in Video Killed The Radio Star

    Hey, I want to cover the Presidents of the United States of America cover of Video Killed The Radio Star, but I can't find a tab with the right solo. I'm not getting far in tabbing it myself either, so if anyone knows it, please post it. Here's what I got so far in my attempt: E------------...

    Cassette slowing down

    Well, I got a smaller belt... same problem :-( But now I notice that when I try to rewind, the player jams up until I hold down the rewind button. Maybe whatever powers the left prong that turns the cassette (whatever it's called:) is getting stuck somehow thus explaining why the speed is warbling.

    Cassette slowing down

    I'm sending my mother back to the shop (I'm stuck at home and can't go there) because the belt is nearly the same size as the original. I'm going to send back both belts with a detailed note to get something smaller. I hope that's the problem and that I was ready to pull my hair out over...
