Hey again everybody. One of the reel hold-downs/hub adapters on the MS-16 I just picked up is close to breaking (it works for transport, but it is pretty loose). Does anyone know if the metal hub adapters for the 85-16 will work with the MS-16? The manual for the MS-16 says the optional...

So, I just received two reels of 1" RMGI SM911 and the stupid idiot mail person left the box in between a glass storm-door and the main door in direct sunlight. It wasn't that hot today, but I got home after the sun went down to find my $300+ worth of tape still really hot sitting in the worst...

Has anybody else seen this dude inflating prices on ebay? Look at this FOR REPAIR Tascam 246 he has up right now! Tascam 246 Portastudio for Repair Vintage Pro 4 Track Cassette Recorder DBX | eBay That's just crazy!! For repair?! I looked at the description of why it's not working and...

Hey everybody! So, I'm currently in the market for a 1" 16 track and was wondering what you guys thought about some of these models: TASCAM MS-16 TASCAM 85-16(b) TASCAM ATR-60 OTARI MX-70 I know this has been discussed before, but it seems like the advanced search function got way worse with...

Hey Guys... So I'm not exactly sure where this should go... After the rather traumatic experience of purchasing a completely useless M-520 to go with my TSR-8, I settled on a Soundcraft Ghost 24 (not LE). I'm super happy with this mixer (although I really miss the M-312b I traded for the...

I've searched for a while now, and I can't find the answer to this question (maybe I just didn't do it right). I have a TASCAM M-520 mixer, which is a -10dbv board. I've been saving some money, and I found a great deal on a UA 2-1176 and I really want to get it. However, I can't determine...

Hey guys, So, I have a mastering date in two weeks... and guess what? My Tascam 32 just decided to start having flutter problems. I'm about half way done with the mixes, and in the middle of playback of one of the tracks the recording started sounding funny - sort of detuned, strange sounding...

I picked up this beauty a couple months back and just recently replaced the tape loop. It sounds great, but a couple of the heads are really out of alignment. It has a five head setup: I believe it's erase, record, playback, playback, playback - but I could be wrong about that... The erase head...

Hey guys... So I'm pretty excited about the TSR-8 I picked up a couple of hours ago from this quirky dude who went digital. It's extremely clean, but I don't exactly know about the heads. This is my first 1/2" machine, so, first-hand, I don't exactly know if there's a slight uneven wear...

So, I've been searching for a thread about reels - more specifically uneven reels... I couldn't find anything so I thought I would just ask. I have several reels where the flanges are slightly bent and hit the tape as it plays/rewinds. Is there any way to straighten out reel flanges that have...

Hey guys... So, I am looking for the opitmal layout for my bedroom. I attached a very rough floorplan of the room (it is very rough, but you can get the idea). Its kind of a weird room, and I can't do anythng to change that - no resources to tear down/put up walls, etc. So, how would you...

So, it's Friday night... I've been searching for the right 1/2" eight-track for a while, and I'm getting a little sick of people saying bad things about the TSR 8 over at gearslutz (or any TASCAM equipment, for that matter). I'll just do a search on google - "Tascam TSR 8"... a bunch of posts...

Hey guys, First time posting in the Studio Building and Construction forum... I am a music director at a College radio station and I have some questions about the recording studio space we have here. I attached a floor-plan of the room - it's a pretty janky space. I have some concerns about...

Hey guys... so I'm a undergraduate composition major, and I have some questions about recording a saxophone quartet of mine (that's soprano, alto, tenor, and bari, and the setup is - in a semi circle, from the left - tenor, bari, alto, soprano). I have been reading about micing saxophones, but...

What is the best way to lube up the tension arms on this machine? Everything is working perfectly except that the tension arms don't drop when it reaches the end of a tape. And when there is no tape they don't move around freely like they should... they stick. I am assuming that this is a...

http://www.k-bid.com/cgi-bin/mnlist.cgi?klosteria158/2 This is in a local online auction... (which also has Ampex ATR-800 2-track listed, condition doesn't look that great) with no reserve. I am about 5 hours away at school right now, but that looks really tempting. It is currently at $2.00...

Hey guys... I have had this m-312b for a little more than a week and have been having a little trouble with getting the levels set properly. I was calibrating it with the free version of True RTA last night (1kHz test tone [at -10db] from my computer to a channel via 1/8'' -> 1/4" cable), and...

So... I have been looking into buying a half-track and finally found one on craigslist (http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/msg/1882767853.html) - I know it looks kind of sketch but I think he didn't have a very good camera. First of all, the guy is asking $500 for it, and he has no way to...

I just picked one of these up from some guy on Craigslist and have been having a bit of trouble with one of the channels... it was supposed to be brand new, but the first channel starts distorting if the signal gets too hot going in or out. The second channel works great (meaning I can crank...

I just bought this 27-band graphic equalizer from someone on craigslist for $30, and I haven't been able to find out anything about it. Does anyone know anything about this? I mean it is pretty self-explanatory, but I just thought I'd ask.
