    Tascam 320 vs 520

    I may not get it for a while honestly. The next couple of months are going to be pretty unstable in terms of my living situation. Who knows? If it's still on the market, the seller might drop the price even more

    Tascam 320 vs 520

    Wow. I feel like I have a lot more questions now 😂 But thank you for all of the info! I haven't gotten into the circuitry yet of consoles, but that's something I plan on getting into in the future. I'll take your advice on getting the 512. Since you brought it up, do you know what I could google...

    Oh gotcha. The 520 has better routing from what I've found, but do you know anything about the pres?

    I've found another question yet again. I posted the link of those correction tapes on GennLabs, but I did some more research and found there are some speed alignment and tape callibration tapes on eBay for much cheaper. Do you think these would work...

    Ok awesome. That's pretty reassuring. I was thinking about getting some big linesman gloves, but I think I have some work gloves that should do the trick if I get nervous. Thank you so much for all of your help. Is there anything else you think I should know before I start going to work on my...

    Oh ok that makes sense. Yeah I think I understand the difference between Wow and Flutter Meter and a Frequency Counter. The Wow and Flutter measures the bearings and and belts and the motor. The Frequency measures the overall record/playback speed of the machine. Is that correct?

    Tascam 424 mki fast playback

    Ohhh ok. That makes much more sense. Let me see if I can sum it all up again and let me know if I'm understanding correctly. I have one more question, but I want to ask that after me restating everthing: I need a: - Service manual - MTT111 tape recorded at 3Khz - Frequency Counter - Wow and...

    Ok, so frequency counter would output the frequency that is being played, and that shows what adjustments need to be made. That makes sense. So, would I need a different kind of tape to use a wow and flutter meter? Do they just measure the fluctuations of a normal cassette tape? Because that...

    One more question, is a frequency counter and a wow and flutter meter the same thing? I think I started using them interchangeably by mistake. Thanks!

    Awesome thanks so much for all of the information! Glad I was able to help you out as well. That guy has a pretty awesome YouTube channel too: https://youtube.com/c/Tetrakan And for those reading through this, here is everything you need and the links: - service manual...

    Ok, so wow and flutter are the result of issues in the transport system. Got it. I just looked up what AMSoil is, and it makes sense you'd put that grease on it to run more smoothly. I just looked up the ANT Audio program, and it looks like its a program only Windows can run. Unfortunately, I...

    Tascam 424 mki fast playback

    Ok, so what I need is: - service manual, - 3KHz cassette tape - Frequency counter - MTT111 tape - a lot of attention to detail And the "high side" of 3KHz is up to 3009Hz and "low side" is down to 2997Hz. I think I get that part. So, the MTT111 is a type of tape that emits 6000Hz? And I...

    Tascam 424 mki fast playback

    Ok so just repeating back everything you've said, the only things I'm going to need are: - service manual, - 3KHz cassette tape (and if anyone else is reading this, I found some here: https://www.gennlab.com/speed_cass.html), - a lot of attention to detail Am I understanding that correctly...

    Oh wow. That's a lot I didn't know. I didn't realize that it could be potentially so expensive and time consuming. I know you said that some people think that tinkering around would fix their issues (I guess I'm one of those people), but based on what my issue is, do you think I could fix it...

    MPC 1000 JJOS 2xl freezing, not saving, unresponsive

    Hey all, I've had my MPC 1000 (with JJOS 2XL) since May 2020, and I really haven't used it much. I've only really started using it the last few days. Here's some issues I'm having: - I can't hear any of my one shot samples when I preview them - When I try to save a project onto my Compact...
