I read a little about the different types of noise reduction made by Dolby and DBX in a book called "Home Recording for Musicians" by Craig Anderton a few weeks ago. I dont remember the specifics but some of them use EQ, some are sort of like Multiband compressors, and etc. then the processing on the signal is somehow altered/reversed before outputting then the hiss is diminished.
I want to get noise reduction for my 80-8 and 3340S. The 80-8 is supposed to use DBX and apparently there is circuitry in the DX4 and DX8 DBX units that lock them so they can only be used with compatible Tascam recorders. I have been waiting for a DX8 unit for a long time on eBay and I cannot find one. I think that 2 DX4 units would work just as well (Except I think there's some Mod that has to be done so it can work with any recorder?) The plus would be that I would also be able to use 1 of the DX4 units with the 3340 If I wanted.
Perhaps the DBX isnt even the best one to be using? Getting noise reduction is one of my top priorities for my analog setup right now.
