Hello fellow tascamheads, I've hit a dead end recording and cannot find my manual, so maybe someone can help. I'm using a mackie mixer to phantom power my condenser mic, and then i've plugged in a tube preamp from the mixer to my tascam 424 mkII. I'm using the sub inputs, but I do now...

Hey, I live in a lower flat that I need to contain sound to an extent in, so as not to get evicted due to neighbors calling the cops. The upstairs neighbor is the landlord who is cool with the music. The problem is about 6-8 feet next door in a separate house. The room initially will be a...

Hello all! I've broken the bank on a couple of vintage amplifiers (a Fender 75 twin 135 rms, and a 65 danelectro dm25)..i'll be using these in an A/B setting using the dano as clean and mid-distortion, and the twin for all beyond. I'm looking for a rocking, affordable (less than $700-$800 lets...

I recently bought an Art Tube mic preamp. We were doing a recording session and didn't have a properly rated power supply for it, so I used it anyway (foolish I know!) and after 12 hours of use I burned something out. The preamp wont power up at all. The MP is 9v AC and is rated at 700 mA...

I am using a friends Marshall Jcm2000 amp head, and I can't get either of the two 4/8 ohm speaker outputs to work. The single 16 ohm output from the head works fine, but I have a THD hot plate which is 4 ohms which I would like to be using and can't at this moment. What might be wrong? Where...

Alright, i've been learning about this stuff for the past few months. I know how to read a schematiic, and i dug somewhat into variations of different component types, etc. What are some books that will best lead me from this point? and are there any books out there that deal more with...

Please keep in mind with these questions that theoretically this studio will be handbuilt by me, in a house that I will have also built, so no existing structures need to be dealt with-so in other words any suggestions can be thrown out here. What are some of the things that have large...

through london power press there are some techincal books by kevin o'connor. they seem to be very thorough and expensive. i was wondering if anyone had any one of these that they would be willing to loan to me for a couple weeks or a month. i would be willing to send jack darr's guitar amp...

i'm looking into various studio monitor headphones, and so far the sony mdr 7506 headphones seem to be the most reccommended pair, but i guess i'm not content to go with that just yet. if anyone wants to share their experiences with studio monitor headphones - what has worked/hasnt... i'm...
