Howdy, 1. Not sure, portable solid state Ampex maybe? 2. A few sources on internet claim a Uher, used with Altec tube PA mixers & Neumann's (all left from the 1966 world tour) Regards, Rob

Hello I'm hoping you can help me with a few questions as me and a few pals are planning on setting up our own studio & would like to be able to record at near highest fidelity possible as we're after a real, professional and classic sound e.g. Early Dylan/Nick Drake. Here goes... 1) Using a 2...

Impressed with the replies again chaps. I'm off to bed soon, will go through it all tomorrow but sweetbeats I know its not aimed at me personally, I really appreciate the advice! Rob

Hello, just a quick question. For high fidelity recordings if I was recording on a 1" 8 track machine at 30 ips what speed would you recommend to master at? I'm seeing its much easier to get a mastering machine that does 7.5/15 ips rather than one capable of 30 ips. Perhaps it would be counter...

thanks for all the replies fellas. Busy at the moment will run through it asap, Rob

Hello, I know these are quite possibly hard questions to answer & perhaps a little 'open ended'. However any help would be greatly appreciated & help a young band of brothers onto the next step of recording their music :) 1. Q when does bouncing have a noticeable effect on the quality (ie if...

sorry to hijack the thread- pehjott - check your pm's please, Rob

Hello, I've been listening to a Nick Drake box set called 'Fruit Tree'. Basically it's 3 CD's of mostly home recordings. After a little reading on the web It seems Nick used to borrow his mums reel-to-reel machine to record his ideas/demos. There is a particular recording on the second CD...

Hello again guys/gals. I started up a thread on here recentley concerning myself starting up a recording setup, hybrid analog/digital. So to update anyone thats interested I got a place in a local college to get some engineering basics but turned down the offer in the end as a lot of what they...

Agreed, thanks for your quick response!

Hello again people, Just a quick question...Lets say I was tracking to an 8 track recorder via a mixer & I want to sample the recording via an analog-digital-converter for use on my computer. But! Let's say I want to keep it as 8 tracks in my DAW, to further mix...Can I just connect the outs...

Hello ausrock, My possible tracking procedures: 1. Bass, drums & acoustic guitar. Then vocals. Anything else (organ/percussion/lead guitar work) 2. Bass & drums. Then acoustic guitar. Then vocals. Anything else (organ/percussion/lead guitar work) I'm not worried buying s/hand no, I'll...

Hello Hi_Flyer, Maybe analogkid is referring to the specific model MX-5050, rather than Otari in general. It does seem steep for a 2 track 1/4" machine! Firstly, I may have a limited knowledge of recording at the moment... (although its vastly improved over a couple of weeks of reading- I...

It's a 2 track 1/4" mastering deck :eek:

So there's no modern reel to reel tape recorder manufacturers? Just to be sure!

@ cjacek I won't be buying anything for a little while. I'm going to be researching all parts of my future setup & trying to match things that will go together first (from recorder to cables!) Thanks for taking the time to look, the reason I asked you to look was so I could get a better idea of...

Looks like quite good condition. Quite a drive from me & probably not going to be buying for a while...Food for thought though! And yeah its not the prettiest machine ever made...There's a lot of AKAI machines listed on eBay, what's the script with them? Fostex A-8? Rob

Hello, thanks for the replies! :) It's good to know there is a 'place' where I can get some experienced advice on my analog undertaking. I've gone through the posts & here are some things I don't fully understand & some more questions I have. Firstly, I am looking to record to a good standard...

Hi, first post! Sorry if it's long & apologies in advance for my primative understanding. I'm looking into recording a small acoustic band using analog equipment, hopefully using a 'reel to reel' multitrack tape recorder. Eventually I want to make CD's & maybe vinyl pressings of the recordings...
