i just bought a reel to reel recorder, because i want to use it for tapedelays.
i am able to get the delay effect with a simple mixer, but since i want to use my mixer for other this as well, i wanted to build something into the reel to reel for the delay effect.
i thought i needed to solder the RIGHT line out to the LEFT and RIGHT aux in and then i would control the amount of feedback with the aux in controls. the right channel would have one repeat and the left channel would have multiple repeats depending on the aux in control.
however, when i tried it, it didn't work.. I can't hear the source signal when i switch the machine to source, and when i switch it to tape i only hear one repeat and it is really quiet..
i think it has something to do with the signal levels, but maybe i'm overlooking much more.
does anyone know what i need to do or has done it him or herself?
thanks,
Arthur
