Jack That is good to know. You are my backup plan if I can’t get this working myself since we are both in the Portland area! For anyone in the future reading this, I work on 4-track machines and would be glad to sell you the appropriately-sized belts for the MT8X (or any other machine you might be w...

Thanks for the wisdom! I ordered a 50 pack of various belts from eBay. So I will probably go that route first. But I have never heard of west coast belts. I will check them out.

Nothing much to add yet. Following since I’ve got an mtx8 incoming that will need some work and I would like to do it all in one fell swoop.

Interested to here what you think of those monoprice pzm/boundary mics. Sale is still going on and I have been wondering about them along with the behringer ba19a. Monoprice has a boundary microphone in their stable right now, was discounted down to $35 last week so I ordered 2 (not received yet).

Cozy - you may want to try either keeping an eye on Craigslist for some cables or else post an ad asking for some. That maybe the cheapest option.

It seem like there are a ton of Minnesota folks who move to Portland...trading the snow for rain I suppose..

I paid the $5 unheard, because I think that's what music should cost. I know I would buy craploads of music if it was all $5. http://niggytardust.com/ I think the album's OK. Seems to me Reznor ran down his creativity account a good while ago. I really appreciate the Garageband files from his last ...

You may want to try something like the new Alesis Controlpad. So it is like a Roland SPD, but it you are concerned about the size of the pads you could program each pad to send the same midi note . It also has USB and a couple of midi to trigger inputs. the only other option I can think of is gettin...

Yep, you can actually pick up an old phone from Goodwill and do this. When I say old, thing rotary dial. This was featured in an old TapeOp issue. There is a band out of Seattle (Maktub) and the lead singer used to sing through one as a secondary mic.

Where are you located?

Maktub ( a very cool Seattle heavy soul band) used one. The vocalist would run it thru a Line 6 DL4 Delay pedal, very cool!

Not necessaryily a big school, but they are definitely known for having other options besides recording:
