Yeah I would not be starting with the relays. And regardless K1 and K2 are not the relays I’d be looking at…those relays have to do with controlling signal during recording and sync vs repro output. K3 and K4 pass signal to the outputs…they are muting relays which mitigate thump in the...

I don’t know, man…maybe I’m not tracking, but I am seeing nothing in the manual that indicates you cannot feed whatever you want into the 8 different D/A channels…yes the outputs 1 & 2 are linked with the main L/R outputs, but what those parallel outputs source is defined your computer-based DAW...

You’re not bound to have a mix on 1 & 2. You can assign a mix to any pair of the 8 outputs. But if you want to take advantage of the attenuation and mute controls as well as the headphone 1 amp carrying your mix, then you assign your mix to 1 & 2. You’re thinking about it like your mix can only...

You bought what you bought, it has the features it has, and the manufacturer doesn’t hide those features. The 1824c has 8 analog output channels. We can spend all day questioning why it only has 8, but the reality is it has 8 because that’s the way it was designed. Not everything has everything...

Yes. 100%. Can’t verify because, though I have some Presonus gear and really like it, Presonus is one of the worst as far as making available any technical documentation. @sumitsimlai to your question, here again you can realign your thinking…it’s not why are only two channels sent to the main...

So are you basically wanting to connect 8 audio streams from your DAW project to an analog mixer for analog summing or something like that? I read through the manual and I think you just need to realign your thinking a little. Yes the headphone 1 and main L/R outputs parallel line outputs 1 &...

You might want to ask in the digital recording forum since your question is specific to your digital audio interface, DSP settings/configuration etc. and this is the analog equipment forum. If I was familiar with your interface I might be able to help more readily, but I’m not unfortunately.

Oh yeah for sure…were you unaware of it previous to my post above? Lots and lots good stuff represented there.

The June 1983 edition of Studio Sound featured the Tascam 58 on the cover, and included a detailed review: https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Audio/Archive-Studio-Sound/80s/Studio-Sound-1983-06.pdf It held its own. There is also a review of the Otari MX-5050-8 mkIII, which was...

I’m not a purist either…have a wide range of tools both analog and digital around here. I grew up in the 70s and 80s and so am rooted in pre-internet/personal computer/digital existence, so for me the draw to analog definitely includes an element of nostalgia, but that’s only part of it. Digital...

Awesome. You’re welcome! I’ve always found it helpful to think of the multitracking process in three stages, generally speaking: 1. Initial tracking 2. Overdubbing (adding more tracks to the initial tracks) 3. Mixdown That’s it. Yes there are other things that happen like maybe bouncing...

Hi. First and foremost, I hope you have the owner’s manual and have done your due diligence to study it. That is your best resource and help for the kind of issues you’re having I believe. Section 3 of the manual dives into recording and overdubbing procedures. You have 4 input channels, and...

No, no I get that, Rick…I know about bouncing/ping-ponging/collapsing tracks, but they don’t say anything about recording. They specified sending the output of the PGM group output back into the console at another input channel and I was trying to understand why they would do that, thinking...

Sure you can do that, but why send the output of PGM 1 to another input channel? For additional EQ or effects? Typically one would submix the 4 channels to a group, and then just monitor from there or send to your recorder or whatever…this is especially common in live FOH applications where the...

I use Dawn liquid dish detergent and one of those dish cloths with the one side that’s a plastic scrubby…warm water…if it’s only lightly soiled i might just use a soft scrub brush or even an old toothbrush if it’s a small panel. I hang it under or set it over a heat register so there’s air...

Don’t was just recently serviced, but what did that service include? When was the capstan belt last replaced or the pinch roller? When was the pinch roller pressure last checked? The other thing to consider is if there is a mechanical failure, such as one or more bad solder joints in the power...

What tape are you using?

I’m having a little bit of a hard time following what conditions elicit the faulty behavior, but if it is not present on power up, and then starts with tapping, that’s really odd. It could still be a failed opamp that is stable until there is any kind of signal or fluctuation at all, which could...

So my suspicion is it’s not on the input side even though you can hear it some. I’m guessing that’s just bleed from whatever is going on, which I think is on the playback side. U3 is the input opamp. That’s not my first suspect. The first stage of the playback side is discrete…Q1 & Q3~8, servo...

In my experience when audio either is not present except for on loud peaks, and is crunchy at that, OR just goes full tilt all the time, and it’s an IC opamp-based signal path, usually a failed opamp. But just to confirm you’re saying it does the same thing when you’re just monitoring the input...
