Sorry, this computer was logged into my friend's account. I had him delete my post.

Anyway, thanks for the info, 0-it-hz.

I had a question about fabric for bass traps, but I think I'll start another post...

I've been asked to mix two records for a friend at his basement studio. The recordings sounds great and he has some nice gear, but the room is really small and very boomy sounding. This is a temporary setup for him and he won't want to do any sort of treatment to the room, and he has a Behringer 802...

My console doesn't have phase reverse. I run my tape deck to the console via unbalanced 1/4", can I flip the phase on a channel by making a cable that flips the tip and sleeve?

This used to happen to my Porta One on occasion. To fix it I had to take the back panel off and rotate the wheel under the transport. I think it's connected to the motor by a belt. It's been a while. This used to drop the heads, then everything worked fine again.

Let me know how it goes...

1" to 1/4" here...

That's it, thanks!

A while back someone here posted a link to a website with a load of .pdf manuals, anyone have that link again? I think maybe it was a school's website or something. Thanks.

Sometimes, when mixing, I like the sound of turning the gain all the way up on a channel, and lowering the fader to a managable level. The clip light stays solid whenever there's signal. Would you see any problem with doing this? I mean causing damage to my console? I never smelled any smoke...

Chris,

That Home Depot link didn't work for me, but I get what you mean. That flange idea is a good one, thanks very much. I'd love to see the pictures...

Anyone have any plans or ideas about building some monitor stands out of PVC pipe and sand? I can work up a quick idea about how to do it, but how would I secure a base for the top onto the PVC pipe? Or maybe you have a better idea...

I read this article by David Mellor about different ways to use a compressor. One such way he describes (the Compression By Stealth section) is to mix a compressed and uncompressed signal together, minimizing some unwanted elements of heavy compression. I know there has been a few discussions about ...

That's very true.

Anyone familiar with these? How do they compare to the MX-5050? Two-track 1/4" versions...

How much difference do you suppose a new power supply for my A&H System 8 would make? I have the original one, works fine, but have heard about people getting new ones after a while (I guess this one could be near 20 years old by now). Do they start to die like tubes?

I need an oscillator to learn and start calibrating my machines. Also, to print tones to my mixdown tapes. Can anyone suggest one?
