Enchilada
Strange person.
This thread has been fairly neglected by me of late. Mostly because not a whole lot has happened over the past six months. I'm about to enter a fairly big step forward though. Now I've gotten the tracking room sorted I'm keen to start working on a mixing space.
To kick things off, I've just acquired a Tascam M3500 and a Tascam M3700. I was having fun today using the M3700 as a MIDI controller with Reaper. It's nice to mix ITB with real faders . Can't wait to have a crack a mixing OTB. I picked up the pair for $500 +$50 for three LA3500 balancing kits and all manuals (including the manual for the LA3500 ).
My plan is to use the 3500 as parts to ensure the 3700 is fully functional. At present all but two channels are working on the 3700 and the faders don't feel as smooth as the ones on the 3500 although this could be because of the automation. I can't wait to crack it open and have a look inside. I'll be upgrading all the OPamps, rebuilding the PSU, re-capping and star grounding it to reduce the noise floor.
All in all, I would say I'm going to have some fun over the next few months
