Hi There, In a fit of GAS I ended up purchasing a new console which had more routing than my vintage one... I wasn't sure how it was going to stack up against each other. Wanted to see if any of you here wouldn't mind listening and letting me know your thoughts? I have tried to level match as...

Was doing some engineering the other day (usually I just record myself) - when we were trying to punch some acoustic parts. I was surprised to find I can't get a clean punch if there isn't a break in program material. I hadn't even considered this - but I guess the gap from the erase head to...

Hello All! I finally took some time to change out the bias caps on my MS-16 cards and change out what I think were the EQ caps on the rec/play cards as I was having some trouble aligning within spec. Can anyone perhaps put in their thoughts about which caps affect the rec and repro eq...

I finally had a real reason to try to get my DAW to chase tape (reaper is the DAW and Tascam MS-16 is my machine). Had a 15 track digital recording to dump to tape... so I figured I try the tips I was given and pulled out my JL Cooper PPS-1 and thought I would give this a whirl again. (Sad...

Just curious what levels people track to on tape? I usually try to go hot on the MS-16 but have read some articles where engineers hit at different levels to maintain transients and avoid squishing instruments too much. I've heard a lot of good recordings on here - interested to see what...

Hi there, Looking for some help! I have my small little mix room (7' w x 10' l x 8' h) that is essentially covered in gear... no treatment up at all yet. I calibrated and ran room EQ wizard (using a Behringer ECM8000) and got the attached... needless to say some serious issues. Wanted to get...

I've been following the other MS-16 thread and see there is a lot of knowledge on these machines here so I'm hoping I can find some help for my issues. My MS-16 works great... for the most part. I however have 4 channels with limited range on playback it appears. One has no low frequency...

As the title of the the thread says... don;t have enough time to troubleshoot my 3 wonky cards. I could get to it int he future but I'd be happy to buy 3 working spares if someone has some! Please let me know Mike

Quickie for the MS-16 owners out there. When you are calibrating in Repro mode, recording 10 kHz - does the Rec EQ pot provide very little adjustment of signal? I find it may have 1 to 1.5 db of adjustment using it and it almost behaves like a bias adjustment in that as you turn the pot...

I finally got a copy of the AQ-65 manual - has some interesting features I wouldn't have figured out (pre-roll, loop etc..). I hadn't been able to find one anywhere. Anyhow - if anyone was looking for a scan I'd be happy to put one together, 11 x 7 schematics and all! Mike

Just got this (new to me) MS-16 set up and I have 3 channels that don't pass audio in sync or repro. I have changed out the relays so they are not the culprits. These channels will show levels in input so it's nota meter issue... Thoughts? Mike

Ok! Just got my remotes in for my newly acquired MS-16 and when I tuned on the AQ-65 it wasn't very happy... See the attached pics of the display and none of the buttons work. If I turn it on and off sometimes the display shows nothing either... Not sure if this is an internal power issue or a...

Okay I think I may be getting a little nutty... Considering purchasing an MS-16 because I would like to have more than 8 tracks on tape. Sonically am I going to be missing much going from my restored MCI to an MS-16. I just can't deal with 2" tape cost... So I want to keep to 1". Thoughts and...

Title says it all! I purchased a PPS-1 off ebay for $1.00 (advertised as working). When I stripe a track with SMPT from the JL Cooper PPS-1 and then run the midi out from it to my interface its a no go in Reaper. I have enable playback to be synchronized in Reaper... Mildly frustrated here -...

I seriously considering taking the plunge on a non-working JH-110 (that seems to be my M.O. on most of the equip I buy as I'm okay with the soldering iron). It depends on head stack condition... but I wanted to get opinions as to whether it is an upgrade beyond my 80-8. It is still 8 tracks...

Heyo - I just bought 3 reels of new (from the early 200's apparently) BASF 911. Just curious if this was at all different than RMGi 911. I assume its the same formula so I don't epect any real sonic difference... but for $50/each being unused I thought I would give it a go (considering RMGi...

I figured I'm not the only one who is in this situation and I thought I would run it by you guys. I have a Soundcraft series II mixing desk that operates at +4. My Teac 80-8 operates at -10. Ths is my signal chain: Mics -> Soundcraft -> 80-8 -> Soundcraft -> computer I have been fighting...

Just curious how much shed/oxide build up I should expect using RMG 911? I have been using the tape on my machine for the past couple of weeks - pretty infrequently but may 8-10 hours total and I thought I would check what the heads looked like. I was pretty shocked to see quite a bit of...

Just wanted to see if there was any point in calibrating what I can on my 80-8 without having an MRL tape... I have a proper true RMS voltmeter (an escort-2010) and I have an oscillator on my Soundcraft Series 2, I just haven't shelled out for the MRL tape yet. I was goign to do some aligning...

Maybe someone with more knowledge than I can weigh in on this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Tascam-48-OB-8-Channel-Reel-Reel-Tape-Recorder-48-/190436795005?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item2c56eae27d Now - I'm in Canada so it is out of the question... but when it included 35 new reels of tape this...
