Hey there,
Looking around here, it seems like the perfect place to join
Im a home recordist, i write in a lot of dofferent styles, but mostly tinker around with guitars and synths and the like and have a ponchance for sleigh bells and other percussion.
My setup is a Mackie 1604 vlz mixer, R8 reel to reel tape recorder for bouncing tracks down too, mbox pro, and a macbook.
My first question goes like this:
Im trying to get a clean signal out of an old dictaphone that ive got some old material, and am having alarming problems with this. I am one of fairly standard understanding for the equipment i have, i am the first to admit, i use it in a fairly basic way, but so far, that is what has worked for me, and i hope to improve my knowledge with it all, and as we all know, its a trial and error thing....
So, my dictaphone has an ear output, which goes into my stereo just fine and plays back at a normal, audible level. Putting the output from the dictaphone into the mixer via the tape in input (im aware that this may be first mistake). The mbox is then fed via the aux ins and the mixer feeds the signal to the mbox via the sub outs. When i select the channel via logic, the channel screams out so there is a bad somewhere. Im hoping that someone in their infinite wisdom could help with this quandry, and help me get on my way to becoming a more reliable, happy recordist
Many thanks, and i hope to see you all around a fair bit......
