    Otari MX 5050 hubs

    My Otari did not come with any hubs for the reels, just the metal pin that sticks out. Does anyone know of a source where I can get these?

    How exactly to hook this up...

    I have an Otari MX5050 8trk, and I'm looking for a mixer, but I am also going to need to get a hold of some empty reels, and hubs to mount the reels on. Does anyone know a good source to get these parts? Also, in the process of selecting a mixer, I would like to be able to record 8 tracks...

    Advice on "portable" studio setup.

    Portable is in quotations, because it will be primarily going between two locations, although it may make a visit to 1 or 2 more. Anyways, the space we have is an old firehouse, built with 3 wythe brick walls. It's owned by family members that does a little work on it here and there, planning...

    setup advice

    I was originally planning to get an 8 track open reel, then go into a Pro Tools setup to add vocals and leads, etc. Then I thought that for what I'd pay to do that, I could get a 2 track deck, a couple good rack FX, and other things. Would it be OK to record 8 channels of rhythm tracks on the...

    new to analog

    Hi, I'm interested in going analog. We just recorded to Pro Tools, and it just didn't work out. We've decided that for our next recording session, we want a good setup in our basement. As much analog as we can do. We're into that "dirty" sound that you hear on Pearl Jam albums, etc. We...

    Bass amp mic

    I am looking for a bass instrument mic for live and studio use. I will be miking a 10" speaker on a bass amp. I have been looking at the A-T ATM25 and the Audix D4. I have a punchy, midrangey, warm tube-overdriven sound and I do use a B string, so I get pretty low. The bass sound from AC/DC...

    Need some advice on buying drum mics

    Hi, my band is looking to both get a decent recording setup and a live setup (more pressing). I'm the bass player, but I'm sorta the sound guy in the band. I think we are actually pretty much set with the exception of drum mics. We have an extra SM 57 or two, I have a Beta 57 as my vocal mic...

    Paid the 69, some effects are still locked

    OK, I downloaded the demo, and I liked it, when I got my paycheck, I got the registered version. I registered it, and it no longer says UNREGISTERED at the top, and no more reminders. However, some of my effects (i.e. compressor) still say "Demo Version" on them, and mute every 10 seconds...

    electronic drums

    I'd like to learn drums, and possibly have the ability to record them direct. But learning to keep a beat, and being able to hear the sound of them is what's important. I've seen articles on how to modify Remo practice pads into drum triggers, to save money on those, my main question concerns...

    Are there any problems with windows XP Professional and Audiophile 2496 drivers, n-track or ACID? I want to get networked to my next door neighbor, and he wants to convert me to Windows 2K, because he says that XP sucks. Any thoughts on this?

    Tascam 424 MkII stereo input

    I read that there is one stereo input on this. What does this mean? If I am recording 2 guitars, bass, and drums, can the drums be run in stereo, i.e. the toms on the left will be heard through the left channel, the toms on the right will be heard on the right?
