There's nothing wrong with your English; you're using the language just fine -- FAR better than my poor grasp of French! The timecode unit on my Otari is separate from the deck. I pulled both of them out of a commercial recording studio that was upgrading to all-digital gear, and the deck was...

Well, it's like softcore amateur shit, but here's the "workstation" and R2R rig: (BTW, that silver thing in the middle of the top row is a Behringer Ultra DI, in case anyone is confused. And the PC is inside of the ply cabinet that the gear is in, with appropriate venting. It's a 2.6mhz...

I designed and built the booth to fit my largest instrument (and me!), so it's just big enough for my needs while still fitting into the room. Two of the walls are not parallel, and all walls and ceiling are faced inside with varying thicknesses and densities of foam behind fabric covers...

Well, I may not know the nomenclature, but it's a freestanding booth, inside of a room. Looks like a booth to me, anyway. Some photos follow. I just have the R2R and cassette tracker for being able to play around with different effects and media. I have a bunch more weird recording media that...

It's a PreSonus FireBox. For the rest of your questions, please scroll on down...

Thanks for the encouragement, WS, but I wouldn't call my approach "bold" as much as "desperate"! Despite looking through countless "Home Recording for Dummies"-type books, I just can't seem to figure out which cable should go where, or in what order. I suppose I could try posting each...

I've been putting together my first attempt at a home recording studio for a while now, but I'm stymied by confusion over how everything hooks up together, and I just can't seem to wrap my head around it. Disclaimer: I'm not really a musician (just sort of an instrument...

I've got an old Shure model 51 that I need to get inside of to be able to replace the grill cloth, and to wire it for XLR. Trouble is, I can't seem to get it all the way open. I removed the combination mount/jack at the swivel, and there are two screws on the lower part of the shell that I was...

Awfulness aside, do you recall what model it was? The reason I'm looking for a battery-powered cassette 4-tracker is because I want to be able to take one with me to the beach or the park or wherever, and use it as a sort of sketchbook with a small, portable keyboard, a mic and so forth. I...

Thanks for the info on the Zoom digital 4-trackers. Are there any cassette tape 4-trackers that are battery-powered?

Yeah--well if you look at the other post, you'll see that I tried to remove it once I realized that it was more appropriate in this forum than in the "recording techniques" forum. If the system allowed users to delete their own posts, I could've done so.

Can anyone tell me if there are any small, simple 4-trackers that are battery-powered? The Porta 02, for instance?

Sorry; I just realized that I should've posted this in the "newbies" section...

please ignore this thread sorry--I put it in the wrong section.

Standard disclaimer: I don't know what I'm doing; I throw myself on the mercy of the court, etc. Now then: I want to play some of the instruments I have (acoustic and electric), record them on my gear, and eventually make CDs of them for my own enjoyment. I've been accumulating instruments...

Well! That was...educational. I'm not sure I really belong here, seeing as I've never recorded on anything more sophisticated than my Tascam 464. Nevertheless, I appreciate the advice, and will look into the Marshall, Studio Projects, Oktava, SE and A-T mics. No doubt at least one of them...

There seems to be a real flurry of cheap, large-diaphragm condenser mics hitting the market now, from China. Apparently, many of them are made by the same company (Tenlux: Behringer, Superlux, Studio Projects, Marshall, etc.). I was amazed to see that you can get such a thing for well under...
