    Blown Fuses in ART Preamp

    I have this ART TPS dual mic pre but it's been out of commission for a couple of years. When I finally got around to tackling the problem, it becomes apparent that I just needed to change the fuse. So I tried a new one and it blew immediately. I think I took it apart right after it stopped...

    Drop tape machines for computer system?

    I've been recording without a computer in the chain for my entire recording life and I'm considering making the switch. I have a pretty solid front end right now, with a Tascam M-320b, some decent external mic pres, quirky effects units, not-too-shabby compression, workable mics, etc. I'm using...

    ADAT ate my tape

    Anybody out there still using the old ADAT machines? I am in quite a pickle right now. My machine started giving me some noFo messages, which I suppose can be attributed to dirty heads. Am I right on this? Anyway, in trying to trick the machine into working during a mix (probably a mistake)...

    Grounding

    I have been using a modern Behringer mixer, which is grounded, and every 20 mnutes or so I experience a power surge which is probably caused by the AC kicking in. I just swapped the Behringer out for a Tascam M320B, which is not grounded, and the surges that used to result only in a slightly...

    Wiring for Multiple Recorders (bal and unbal)

    I'm rewiring my patchbays for use with a new mixer and some new outboard gear but I'm a little confused about how I should deal with my multiple tape machines. The problem is that I have a pair of ADATs via theh elco connectors (+4 balanced) as well as an Otari MX-5050 8-track, which is...

    A Magnet Question

    What's a safe distance for magnetically sensative materials (mainly tapes)? I'm thinking specifically about how close I can have tapes to my monitor speakers because the optimal location for my tape machine is about 10 or so inches from the closest speaker. And how close is too close for a...

    Unbalanced M-320b integration

    Hey Tascam 300 series pals, So I just picked up a 320b and I'm in the process of integrating it into my current system. My setup is almost completely balanced (balanced ADAT outs through balanced outboard gear through balanced cable runs into a bunch of balanced patchbays). I did some tests...

    ADAT output calibration

    I'm running a pair of ADAT blackface machines (4.03 software) and I just noticed a couple of the channels are outputting at slightly lower levels than the rest. I'm going out of the +4 elco connector. I was hoping I could popit open and tune the outputs but that doesn't appear in the manual...

    Kepex Wiring Quandry

    I happened upon a pair of Kepex Valley People gates. Now I'm trying to install them into my system and I ran into a problem. I've been getting distorted, ungated output when my patch is solidly inserted. When I pull the patch cable out a bit, I get a normal gated output. The ins and outs...
