Hello, I´m looking to buy a unit MTS-1000 tested to control the Speed of my TSR-8. Preferred if is 220V. Even if it´s tested and working and is 120V I could use a step down transformer. If any have one around unused, or know anyone could think sale it let me know. Contact...

The point is no emulate a different tape machines. It has no sense. UAD have different emulations. In real life I will not be buying 2 or 3 o 4 reel to reel machines to have different "flavour". There videos about comparisons, between the real hardware and plugins, even the pluin emulates a...

I think question is easy. Can get the same on digital using UAD tape emulations? , if reply is yes.., so using real tape is just for fun? if reply is no, or it depends, can you explain your perception? Thank you so much.

Seems tape machines have a lot of cons, but still guys using them, others saying tape is just "low fi" the digital, and can get same with plugins and compression. I´m confused so maybe the only way to find out is buy one and try it myself. Seems opinions vary from one direction too the...

Hello, thank you for the tips. The third head for monitoring should be desirable, but since it they have delay as you pointed, seems useful for tweaking the sound input adjust, but not for directly recording out that monitoring haead output. So the idea of using it for "traking" as a hardware...

Old thread, I´m looking at this units now. I have a doubt maybe someone know. The Midizer can control the TSR-8 without have to use one of the channels to record? Or must record smpte on one track to the midiizer can work? Thank you.

I have a concrete simple question that you may know. I´m looking on the manuals but I´m not clear. I have seen that some guys use the Tascam Midizer, that has a serial d-sub connector. What I´m not clear is if to sync, uses one of the channels to record the code, so total 7.., same thing that...

I´m all over the place because since I´m newbie to tape, and since I got some advices and feedback from you, my potential uses change. I mean. 1- I started the thread asking about the 488 for "tape sound" or "analog mix" tittle, because I found near me a cheap 488 unit. You told me about the...

yes.. I can be clearer.., I´m not looking for a tape for making the sound "better" itself. As exampl, I have a preamp neve clone, that make any sourse sounds big.., I have a Great River Mp2-Nv that makes similar but different flavour, more bright, I found them useful because make vocals and...

Thank your for your feedback, anyway is useful for me to ask from any other ones that have used tape, it makes sense. I´m looking at a Tascam Tsr-8. Is not that cheap, and is seems to have "it´s" sound. Sync is posible, so could be a better alternative than the 488, seems to use 1/2 tape and...

I agreen and know that much of the "tape" sound is just a way of "compression". I don´t mean more "realism" because of tape, what I mean, or ask is, "realism" of the emulated "effect" versus a hardware unit. Of course that mix or any other can be warmed using any compressor, or even other...

Thank your for your reply, They are in my country, not local in the sense I can go and travel myself. Can see feedback and videos. They are from 600km to 1200km from me.. all in Spain. The man that has the Akais, has one Revox A77, that is factory high speed. (7 and 15). But from what I can...

Thank you, already discussed that, the 488 was the title. I´m after a reel to reel option. Have asked about the Akai 4000 series, the Gx4000d. But I´m considering a more "pro" option, 15 ips capable. Considering a Revox A77 that seems to record 15 ips. But may be any other models I still...

You are right. I really don´t need 8 tracks. Is there any unit reel to reel you would sugest that could be good for a studio, I mean more pro, 15 ips for example, instead the Akais.., The man here that have the Akais has a Revox A77 15 ips. suggestions? I could stay with 2 tracks, with a unit...

hell, I was quite exited about going tape, now I´m blocked. Now seems that going with UAD tape plugins is the best option. Sad the "delay" issue, for tracking. Seems not that worth for re-mixing/color , I was expecting something more "real" from hardware, but seems should be need a bigger...

Oh, you are right.., Yes I said mastering, but I was thinking in mixing sorry. I mean, re-record some of the tracks back through tape. But I was missing the point problem of the reproducing head latency distance. It should be no problem for re-record a track.., but yes to live recording...

Don´t you think those Akais are better than a Tascam 488? I mainly should like can add some "tape" flavour to my tracks. Quite confusing about the best option to go.

I think you are correct about GAS. Regarding the Akais, the guy sent me a video of the later model Gx4000d, seems from the 80 decade, quite neutral. Although you are correct that they are consumer.., Honestly I don´t know about tape reel to reel alternative machines pro o consumer. I have...

I have found a man that has some Akai 4000 units already fully working and adjusted. If he decides to sale me one unit I´ll make a try for the studio (mixing, mastering). Regarding the cassette, my doubt if it´s worth goin to a 488 mki, not expensive (250 eur). The synthstrom Deluge is very...
