Akai S3200XL in perfect cosmetic, working shape. Maxed out ram. SCSI zip drive and discs included. Features, specs: http://www.planet-groove.com/akai/s3200xl.html I'd like around $200-250. Might consider trading for a large diaphragm condenser microphone or an RNC. Make me an offer if you're interes...

if you know how to make a couple fixes, i've got one i'd sell. probably not an option though since i'm near chicago...

thanks, leopold and beard of bees. based on your recommendations, i'll keep looking. and wait to work on these until i'm more familiar with how they work. its not what you generally think of as an Ampex..it was made in japan to ampex design and is much different from the 50's tube decks, late 60's 4...

a new set of heads and installation will cost a ton(you just can't slap em on yourself being brand new to tape).... -------------- I'm not 100% sure with the art-700..I would definitely just find out for yourself at least to see if its worth it.. but my guess would be finding a machine with good he...

i'm in.

the celeste sound and guitar notes on the 1st of every measure sound a little loud - they're overwhelming the singer a little. i believe what you're referring to is the rhodes track. agreed. in hindsight, we probably should have brought the vocals up a bit in the mix. Nice singing and nice song, th...

hey. i posted some time ago asking for advice about some track mixes. so now that the board is back up, i thought i'd let anyone that's interested know, the record is finished. have a listen to one of the songs here, and opinions are welcome. http://scenicsquare.com/xopportunity.mp3 jason roberts sc...

I'm new to tapeop, but thought I'd post some music my band recorded not long ago. I'd love some feedback.
