    sampletank

    I want to use sampletank live and have a quick way to switch between instruments but can't figure out how to do it. All I've got so far is a bunch of intruments (parts) playing all at once. I also figured out how to make a folder (e.g."my presets") to show in the browser but can't seem to load...

    CD burning problem

    I have an album where three of the tracks are actually one long song cut into three files. In Logic the three files butt to butt sound seamless but when I export (bounce) and burn to cd they have a slight pop at the change over point. I have used Nero and Toast. Toast is the best but still not...

    Tape to Digital tips.

    Didn't know where to post this so here goes. I'm an analog guy who is new to the digital realm. I just finished some tracks on my Otari 5050 8 track and transfered them to my Motu 828 Audio Desk program, giving each track a seperate 44K/24 bit transfer track. While they sound OK, the digital...

    The counter on my Otari MX5050 8 track does not advance. It shows zeros all the time. I went deep and found the counter unit. (Part # PB9A310) It appears to be a notched wheel (that is attached to the counter roller) that spins through two black plastic pieces that are on a small CB . These...

    I need a remote cable for my Otari 50/50 8 track

    It's been a while since I've posted here. Nice to see it still hopping. Anyhoo, when I got my Otari 50/50 8 track, it came with the remote but no cable. Can I make one? It seems to be a 64 pin thingy. Maybe someone out there just happens to have one. Anybody..........?

    Lapsteel Players!

    I'm a lapsteel player as well as regular ol' sixbanger. I was wondering if there are any other lapsteel players out there? What strings and tunings do you use. What's your setup? I play a '70's Gibson (not sure of the model) and a 60's Mason (made in Waterloo, Ontario by the long defunct Mason...

    Studer 1/4" deck question.

    I've been looking for a 1/4" mixdown/mastering deck and I have a line on a Studer. It's on consignment at a music store and they don't know what model it is. All they could tell me was it was the size of an oven and old. They did a test recording and all seemed fine. The price is $400 CDN. Is...

    Galean Kruger 200MB Problem

    Gallien Kruger 200MB Problem My wife ordered a new speaker for her 200MB. The surround on the old speaker disintegrated. I installed it tonight but it does some weird stuff now. When you hit a note, it seems like the signal is cancelled for a second. Kind of like it's out of phase or heavily...

    Half inch reels.

    I was working on my Otari 5050-8 tonight and I put on a fresh reel of Quantengy 456 and noticed that the reel was pretty wobbly. Not really deformed but the top and bottom were out of sync. Being farely new to the 1/2" format I was wondering if this is common. Do you guys "tune up" your reels. I...

    Otari MX5050 to TASCAM M308B Problem

    This is a weird problem. I just made some XLR to RCA output cables to use my Otari MX5050 MKIII 8 track with my M308B board. When sent the test tone from the Otari to the tape inputs I get the test tone coming through the stereo masters even when the input rail is completely off. Interestingly...
