my friend is offering me $2300 for it. i really think i don't want to keep it, because of the maintenance, speed of working, etc... i have a kid now and i can't work slow - don't have the luxury of time! also i really have come to grips w/the reality of me LOVING 4 and 8 track sonics.. the studer wa...

it's a mark IV

dur dur dur dur!

it's 24 tracks, with an MRL and autolocator, and a varispeed mod, w/xlr ins/outs and extra parts...

hi all oppers - it's been years since i used my studer a80... i am wanting to sell it to a friend of mine.. what's a good friendly price for it? it has the autolocator and is in great shape.... i paid 10K for it like 5 years ago or so, but i know they've declined fairly severely in price recently......

thanks -

yeah these are 70's or early 80s 87s... i think mr korby is a good idea - he's got good pedigree but is not klaus heyne level legendary (yet)....

any other recommends?

hey all -

it's been some years since i got my u87s and i want to get them checked out/cleaned/lalala whatever you do to nice mics to make them happy. who would you recommend for this?

thanks all sirs and madams

what kind of show is it? is it a network thing, or a public access, or etc? depending on the specifics, you could ask for 2 - 25K. you can also (if you trust the producer) ask them what their music budget is for it, and see if that works for you.

hey all - i'm heading out to nyc soon to do a tape op interview w/sufjan very soon - what interesting questions would you all be interested in knowing answers to? i'm gonna talk w/him about michigan and illinoise, as well as maybe 7 swans and Enjoy your rabbit. i can't promise your questions would m...

my studio is named several names:

be-a-star recorders

album quest

butt funkin recorders

the hiss hut

and

singing serpent

i like be-a-star best i think.

cool, thanks guys that is a great idea. i think also i will experiment with some eq matching software on the voices - cause where we had track space we did vox on the 4trk, so i have something to use as a reference. i feel like a lot of the sound is just hitting the tape way way hot and making it mu...

hey all - i'm doing a project where we did all the basic tracks on a tascam 424 mk 3. now we're doing some odubs in the computer world. what can i use to get that same mid-friendly sound i got from my 4track when i hit it way too hard? i've got tons of good and crappy gear, but nothings really doing...

doods, i never thought i'd say it but i love a recent paul simon album - "you're the one" is an awesome collection of songs and textures. it made me cry the first time i listened to it 'cause of its incredible beauty. of course i had to listen to some arab on radar right afterwards to feel like i wa...

yeah, my ex-girlfriends band totally rocks too. they are just putting out their record on an awesome label, and they have a lot of fun.

oh wait, i'm in the band...

digeridildo till death,
