Hi,
I'm new here... pleaeaeaese be good with me...![Smilie :) :)](/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Also, I'm warning you that my english are not perfect!![Embarrassment :o :o](/images/smilies/redface.gif)
And, I'm kinda newbie with recording stuff... so for one more time be good and ... patient with my questions! The good thing is that I'm learning fast! Except, playing guitar!![Big Grin :D :D](/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
So,
I'd like to start recording again and of course I'd like to keep it analog!
Recently, I have done some recordings with a friend on his PC and a digi Korg 4-track and I didn't like it at all! Very clean and nice sounds but I felt that something was missing! So, I took off from my closet my Marantz PMD740 after 10+ years! Almost, I forgot how to use it! But I found its manual and ok it's not to difficult to record a guitar and some bass lines and etc. It's AWESOME! I feel very pleased that I didn't sold it and kept it for so many years!
BUT, I have some problems with it!
I have wow&flutter issues! From what I read over here I have to clean the capstan/pinch roller and replace the belts. But how can I clean the capstan? With what kind of chemical I must clean it so I won't destroy the rubber? Is it better to replace it? If yes where can I find one?
About the belts... I'll try to find locally... hope I'll find them... and I can replace them easily!
By the way, where do you find good quality cassettes today? Locally are disappeared! The sellers are laughing when I ask for chrome cassettes!
Thanks for reading my post.... and, for any help!![Smilie :) :)](/images/smilies/smile.gif)
