Hello I'm new here.
My name is Thomas, I am 19 years old,
I am building my first home-recording studio with all analog gear.
My main unit is a TEAC A-3340S Tapre deck.
I also have a TEAC CX-650R Cassette Deck that is badass.
The guy I bought it from said that the playback has a lag of about a second and that it may be in need of a new belt.
Any Suggestions?
I am also going to set up a quadraphonic system with a SANSUI QRX-5500 amp/receiver.
Anyways, I just purchased a TEAC A-3340S Reel To Reel off Ebay and the thing starts off good and then slows down to a complete stop.
Does the same in Fast-foward and in reverse, the reels go so fast and out of control, I think they're going to fly away and cut my head off.
I am very new to analog sound but I love it dearly and I always have.
Another thing I need help with is: I have plans with my songs, to record many tracks and overdubs. in between 8 to 12 or so. Less on others.
Would I need to take the first 4 recorded tracks, on the first deck, and transfer them to another reel, onto the 1st of 4 tracks on the other deck, and then repeat the process three more times?
How would I transfer the material?
mic the first deck?
Another thing is, The deck is very dusty inside,
How would I get rid of that?
I didn't want to get normal dust cleaner, not knowing if it would damage the deck.
The manuals I have are printed reproductions of the originals.
The demagnetization, cleaning, oiling and many other things are very unclear in the way it is described and the pictures.
I need help on how to clean the capstan motors, reel motors and other things like that. Oiling as well.
thnx very much,
Thomas Wright
