Hi All, Is it correct that all signals coming out of a Tascam M3500 are -10 except for the main XLR outs? What do people use to boost signal from a channel insert or Aux out in order to interface with outboard?

Hi All, I'm going to be covering a 13x13 garage in GIK absorption/diffusion, and there is a 2 foot cut out desk area in the back that has pegboard already installed. I want to drill two Auralex Sound Prisms into the board, and then add absorption around them, then cover those bits with left...

I have another dumb question regarding the M3500. Are these Aux and Effect Returns in series according to the number? Like if you want to have a signal hit a delay ahead of a reverb, you just place the delay on Aux 1, and the reverb on Aux 2?

Hi you guys it's me again. Still having a blast with the m3500 and msr16 in my garage. Thank you for the help with the group's panning on the other thread. My other question has to do with grounding. I have snakes connected on all 16 channels via the tape in and direct outs. If I don't have...

Hi Folks, So I'm in my garage having a blast recording drums from a 2Box brain (six outs - open architecture sound platform) into my Tascam m3500/MSR-16. Stereo mix in the board was cool and all, but I decided to up the anti and take the Group outs into a TL Audio Fat Track summing mixer. This...

Will a PS-2600 PSU work to power an M3500 board?

Hi Sweetbeats and all ya'll. I finally found my Teac A3340 for a fair price at an estate sale. Over all good shape, but been sitting for 20-30 years. Is there a thread or a YouTube link to a step-by-step overhaul (i.e. where to degrease/lube) to get the capstan and pinch roller back up to...

Ok, so long story short. No stranger to tape. I don't like those equipment in signature things or GAS tracking areas of these forums, but me = Tascam 388 (since 1998); Otari MX-5050 BQII 4 track; MSR-16S(yes, the SSssss) all in constant rotation and all professionally checked and calibrated...

Hi All, I own X2 Producer and a few of the compressor/limiter plugins that were paid through the Cakewalk store. Going to be getting a Surface Pro 6. Should I install X2 from my login (which still accesses files on Cakewalk's website) or get the free Bandlab version now?

Hi All, I'm recording with a Focusrite Clarrett 8PRe thunderbolt and Reaper. I just started having a problem where if I disconnect the Clarrett and use the internal sound from the Macbook Air, the audio plays back at the wrong pitch/tempo. This never use to happen and I use to be able to...

Any Soundtracs Topaz users here? If so, I'd like to start a thread on how you all are using your Groups/Busses I also have a specific question related to how you bring signal on the Groups sums to the L-R Main mix. Manual says:"Left/Right Buttons are used to send the Group to either or both of...

Hi All, Quick questions from a digital N00b I recently got a Burl B2 Bomber ADC, which I plan to use as my 2-bus for mastering. I thought it was going to come with Toslink, but guess what...It's only got SPIDF and the Word Clock connects on the back! Surprise ebay ;) I have an RME Babyface --...

Hello, I'm having trouble with stereo sends/returns on my Topaz Project 8. I have a Korg SDD-3000 (pedal version) and a Lexicon PCM 90 that I would like to connect. I can get the SDD to get input using Auxs 3 and 4, but when I return them (I'm using FX 3 and 4) I only hear the effect on the...

Hi All, I'm currently waiting for a PSU before I can use my tape deck. And I recently scored a Soundtracs Topaz board (with +4 mods done) in the meantime, which I'd like to practice mixes on, but using my laptop/Pro Tools as the capture/repro. I have a Macbook Air (about 3 years old) along...

So...never had a single issue with my 388...until I moved it across country and back. Now the first channel repros at about half volume compared to the other tracks. Is this an alignment issue? It was in a storage space up on its side for a while.

Just curious how many folks here have a setup based around an M3500 and tape? I am completing reno of a garage studio and I'm a little freaked by the M3500 manual. I have only ever used compression via the send/returns on the back of the 388 and never really used hardware reverbs/delays patched...

Hi All, I've just completed a reno on a detached garage and I'm looking for advice on sound treatment. I'd like it to be an all-in-one tracking and mixing room. The room is 19 ft long by 15 ft wide. It has an A frame ceiling, with the center beam 10 ft high, and the ceiling is 7 ft high at the...

I'm just upping my posting game here. This isn't the type of music I record now ;) In high school, my friend and I were really into Trans Am and Slint. We made this in my bedroom: A Song for Slint by mannequin flywalker | Free Listening on SoundCloud Gear was a Tascam 388, a DBX 266XL, Lexicon...

Hello! I was wondering if it matters that one LDC is a different circuitry when micing mid-side? I have a Miktek c7 and just got a CV3 tube. If you have experience doing a stereo mix this way, do you prefer the tube for the side address mic (room) ? Or the other way around.

I didn't find any of this information here (incredibly) and thought I'd start my first post here with something of immense value for n00bs in analog on the East Coast. I have a Tascam 388, MSR-16S and an Otari MX 5050 BQ II. While getting all these machines into good working order, I collated...
