It's good to hear this story. I've been thinking about getting a MidiIzer and a TSR-8 to hang off the back of my 688, but maybe it wouldn't be such a good idea after all. I'm loving the 688 but I want more tracks :( The two of them side by side looks awesome. I had no idea the midiIzer was...

I recently got a 688. I must say that the computer (where all routing is done) is kind of a PITA, and the mixer is pretty noisy on mine, but in general it sounds absolutely great. It by far, and i mean FAR, exceeded all of my expectations when it comes to the recording quality. I really...

i've recorded here. it's f*@!(n awesome EDIT: I'm actually confusing this studio with another that's run by someone else within the same bunch of people.

Is it a buzz/hum, or is it hiss/noise?

I'm looking to purchase a Fostex E-22. I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area and I'm willing to pay for proper packing and shipping.

I recorded in a little sample of the left channel versus the right. Keep in mind that this machine has not been touched in probably over 10 years so it definitely needs bias'd, aligned, etc... along with any other tune-up/clean-up. Here is a zip file containing a sample recording from a song...

If it is, I don't see how unless the table it's sitting on has a hole cut in it for the cables to come out through.

The 911 seems to be running just fine. I de-mag'd everything and it didn't seem to change a thing. I don't have any deoxit so I've got to find some. I'm hoping that may solve this. The machine is so damn "like new" but has been sitting in storage for the last ten years. I have a feeling...

The transport seems to be running well. The machine packs tape way better than my E16 does. The tape is also brand new RMGi 911. I've never demagged before, but I'll follow the directions I've got. I feel like this machine was a pretty good deal. $150 included the machine, a han-d-mag, and...

The deox was the first thing I thought of. I should go get some. There was no overloading going on. Thanks for those tips, I'm going to try to get to it today. -adam

I just picked up a nice condition Fostex Model 20 today. I'm hearing some "crackling" on channel 1 when I playback a recording. Its dynamics/loudness follows the dynamics of the recording --> loud deep electronic kick drums for example. Any ideas on what this may be?

So I just confirmed that it is actually 1/4". I guess I stupidly assumed 1/2". Either way.... I don't know if it's gonna be worth all the hassle of trying to get the thing to fit in a rack, though I am using a full depth server rack with a 4-point mounted shelf. It's just that the shelf is...

The body of the Otari looks exactly the same as the 8 track 1/2" that lays flat. I hate how the model #'s go with the Otaris- I never know which machine is which until seeing a picture. After seeing it from the back and sides, I don't think it's rack mountable at all, unless it were to lay...

So it's now between an RS-1500 and an Otari 1/2" 2track that just became available. Any idea if the 5050 1/2" is rackmountable? I'm so sadly starved for space.

Does anyone know if a technics RS-1500 will fit in a 19" rack? I realize that it does not have rack ears--> i'd put it on a rack shelf.

Would anyone consider trading me a half track 1/2" or 1/4" machine for my "like new" fostex E-16? I will include two remotes (one is the full blown auto locator with smpte to midi conversion, etc). email me @ adam at b-mp dot com if interested i'm located in downtown san francisco

This was definitely shipping damage. I just spoke with the guy I bought it from, who's been really great, and this was not an issue before I received it. It was definitely something that happened during shipping. This is not the first time this has happened with UPS for me. They completely...

This room is so damn dark.... I finally got some light in here and found that the tape is NOT touching the head. There is definitely a space now that bent the cue/edit lever thing back to where it should be. Do you have any idea exactly how much space there should be? The tape is definitely...

So I finally figured out that the cue/edit lever/switch must have been bent possibly during shipping. This was not allowing the center tape lifter to fully actuate, or extend all the way. I was getting full sound during FF/RW. Once I bent the switch back, it seems to be fine about 5% of the...

sorry for not getting back to this thread too quickly, i was away.... so.... Is the arm that lifts the tape away from the heads during FF/RW the one between the 2 heads, or to the left of both heads? I can see both attempting to do this job, but they just aren't lifting the tape far enough or...
