I have an all analog studio. Tascam MSR-16 1/2" 16 track, Tascam 38 1/2" 8 track, tons of effects and processors. I'm wondering what kind of software is out there for me to mix down to. All I want is software I can mix down in and burn CD's or make them mp3's. I'm not really interested in...

I was driving with my wife today and she says "Stop at this garage sale" I immediately went into groaning mode. The last thing I want to do is look at 25 cent clothes. I did find a box of what looked to be some old junk mic cables and etc. In this box was a yellow EV box which peaked my...

I already have an RE-20. I just sent it to Telex to have it reconditioned and it should be perfect when it returns. I want to purchase a few more mics for live drums and guitars, do you think I need another mic for vocals or is the RE-20 good enough. There are so many new entry level mics out...

I was going through some old boxes of wires, cables, and other various electronic junk and I came across this old EV V-3 microphone. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the model microphone. My guess it was used in early broadcasting. The mic is pretty much complete except for the...

Gentlemen, Just wanted to post a few pics of the MSR-16 that I acquired this past weekend. It arrived today and it's in great shape. I got the deck, rolling stand, RC-416 remote, punch in/out pedal, and 2 reels of tape for $960. It is squeaky clean. Can't wait to lay down some tracks. I will...

I am starting to prepare a bedroom for studio dwelling. It is going to have to be my tracking and control room. I am looking for some ideas from anyone willing to offer. The room is 13.5' x 12' with a closet that is 38" x 72". I am thinking about closing up the closet door to a regular door size...

In my search for a 1/2" 16 track machine. I have found another possible candidate. I have found a Fostex G-16S with the 8330 timecode sync card and RS422 (sony protocol) option. It comes with a rolling stand, manual, and the remote extension cable. He says the deck has about 900 hours on it. He...

I am just starting to create a studio in a vacant bedroom of the house. In the earlier days before children I had it a lot easier. I had a live room at one end of the house and a control room at the other. I never had to worry about trying to hear what was coming out of the monitors over the...

I am currently looking for a Tascam MSR-16 or a Fostex E or G 16. If anyone knows where I might find one please PM me or point me in the right direction. If there are some websites (besides the obvious Ebay) that anyone knows about I would appreciate it. I am ready to purchase. Any help would be...

This is an old mix from my E-16. It's recorded live just three of us. I've been going through archives. I have a lot of music mixed down to cassette from my E-16 because I didn't have any other sort of mixdown capabilities. So the chain for this mp3 was E-16 > cassette (8 years ago) > into my...

I am in the market for a analog 16 track. I have two prospects right now. A Tascam MSR-16 and a Fostex E-16. I had an E-16 about 6 years ago and sold it in lieu of a VS-1880. Needless to say I miss analog. Anyway I posted pictures of the Tascam heads in the Tascam forum (the pics suck) and I am...

Could somebody take a look at these heads and tell me what you think. It's hard to tell. These are the best pics I could get so far. He has sent me a dozen or so but they were all blurry. I'd appreciate any help anyone can give me. Thanks...............

Has anyone heard the new Audio Technica AE2500? It is dual element microphone for the kick drum. Supposedly perfectly aligned etc., etc. I just wondered if anyone has heard about it or actually tried one. Just curious

If anyone is interested I have a VS-1880 I am thinking about selling. It has 1 effects card, and the CD burner with carry case, and all the manuals. I've liked it for the ease of going right to the CD, but I just miss analog. If you are interested let me know I can send you pics of everything...

I purchased a M-1600 Tascam board on ebay probably about a year ago knowing that I would end up back in an analog situation. I have a Roland Vs-1880, but I just can't get the drum sounds or guitar sounds that I want. Anyway I am buliding up to either syncing an analog 8 track to the VS or...

I was wondering if anyone knows if the Fostex R8 has a drive belt to drive the capstan? I picked up a R8 from a friend and it'll FF and REW but not play. The capstan is not turning. Can anyone help me? Thanks

I just bought a Tascam 38 off of ebay (i can hear the oooos). The guy had 100% feedback and the unit was clean. Heads are in great shape. There are 2 problems. 1. The pinch roller is shot....the rubber is like tar. 2. I think it needs a new drive belt. I say I think it does because the drive...

I am currently in the market for an 1/2" 8 Track machine. I am curious if anyone has some recommendations on either the 38 or the TSR-8? What I want to do is sync it up to my Roland VS-1880 for drum tracks. The VS recognizes MTC what would I need to sync either tape deck to the VS? Anyway just...
