    Tapes to Buy While Prices Are High

    i purchased 2 cases of this emtec lpr 35. i have used it for several projects with no problems on my msr-16. i was a little worried about it being only one mil thick, but i tried a reel before i bought. i have had no problems and being 3600' just means you get more time! check it out...

    balanced/unbalanced/+4/0/-10 SOUP

    ok...I have a chance to get an MCI machine. Here is the problem. I currently am using a tascam msr-16s and 2 tascam 300 series boards. The 300 series have 4 balanced +4 outs each. does this mean I can only record 8 tracks simultaneously with the mci? Currently I use the line out on each channel...

    16 track

    I had my doubts about the MSR-16S but I got a killer deal on one. I had been using a TSR-8 and liked the results. I worried about the tiny track width but having used both I havent considered going back. A 16 track gives you so many more options (like 6 drum tracks!) I hated the NR on the TSR-8...

    tascam 520 power cable

    i looked at a few electronics catalogs today and didnt see anything close to that style of connector. i also removed the connector from the p/s and looked all over for a logo, no luck. luckily the p/s has a male connector and the mixer has a female connector (or vice versa i dont have it in...

    tascam 520 power cable

    yeah its a 20 pin. I removed the connector from the power supply and there was enough slack to plug it into the board, so i was thinking of maybe just splicing in a few feet of extra wire and hard wire the p/s so to speak. do you know how long the original cable was? Would this not work for a...

    tascam 520 power cable

    would anyone happen to know what type of connectors (brand name?, common name?, etc.) are used for the tascam 520 power cable? a friend of mine recently received his 520 sans power cable and tascam is out of stock so I was thinking of building one for him.

    16 track reel to reel

    for what its worth..i've compared the dbx on a tsr-8 and the dolby s on an msr-16s and both systems get rid of the hiss (the hiss is much worse on the 16-track of course), but it seems that dbx changes the tone of the recordings a little bit. dolby s is more transparent as one would say. But in...

    3630

    its well worth it for the price. very happy with it on drums and i used it to limit a feeding back guitar the other night. worked great. for those who turn the knobs and say nothing happens, well compression is kind of an analytical thing, not like an eq, you have to think a little.

    tsr-7?

    I haven't tried demaging. I'll do that tonight. I haven't tested the machine during recording I could try that too. all I have done is played back tapes recorded on my other machine. I could always start swapping parts but I'm worried that I'd end up with 2 not working machines. :)

    tsr-7?

    Hello, I have been working on a TSR-8 and its seems to be working well (i have another TSR-8 to compare it to) except for the fact that on track 5 i get a crackling noise. Wiggling the channel card doesn't stop the crackling and it seems to crackle with and without dbx. I think it only happens...

    synchronizing 2 tsr-8s

    So, I have 1 tsr-8 and I thought I should have a backup so I bought another one! I know that track 8 can be used for time codes so it should be possible to synchrnize the 2 of them. I have no idea how to proceed, no idea as to what I need to do this. Any advice would be helpful. thanks.

    where to buy take-up reels

    http://www.mwsound.com/ This is my local shop. I don't know if they will do mailorder, but, I was having problems finding a not bent takeup reel and they had some empty reels in stock (1/2"). They sold me 1 for 10$ and it is superflat. No more annoying tape rubbing on the takeup reel. I suppose...
