This is posted in the Analog Forum also but I thought it might get more response here.
I have an old Fostex X- 26 4 track, its in good shape, I use good tapes and clean it often and have a Shure SM-57. But I find the sound quality is just not that good. I am thinking about trading it on a Tascam a 414 if I can. I don't have much money so I am hoping a trade and a little cash can be worked out.
Anyway is there anything I can do to Improve the sound before I do this? Can anyone tell me why I shouldn't ditch the relic, if you can?
Oh yea, I am not comparing it to digital, I am compairing the sound quality to a Porta3 a Porta 5 and a 414. Tring to compare apples to apples.
Thanks,
