Non-functionnal reel-to-reel: should I fix before selling?

Hey ! I'm doing a cleanup and have a Otari MX5050 BII2 and a TEAC A-3300SX that were in storage for 15+ years. Both are non-functionnal right now. I'm wondering if I should get them serviced/fixed and sell them at higher price or if I should let them go as-is for less money ? I dont have any idea of...

Re: Can I install Logic pro on two computers?

I won't ever run them at the same time, I will either do tracking with the macbook OR mixing at my station at home.

Can I install Logic pro on two computers?

If I buy Logic Pro and want to use it on two computers, let's say, an imac for main work/mixing at home and a macbook when I'm tracking at my rehearsal space, both sharing the same icloud drive so I can work on the same session, is this something possible?

Re: Kick drum: port hole or not?

Obviously I know I have to find my "prefered sound". I just wanted some tips before cutting a hole in a "not quite cheap" kick drum head to experiment :) But I guess there is no such way around if I want to find out for real... !

thx

Re: Kick drum: port hole or not?

And as a counter example, on Little Fury (Breeders, Title Tk), to me it was recorded with a port hole, or maybe even no reso head at all. No resonance at all. Am I right?

Re: Kick drum: port hole or not?

As an exemple, do you think the kick sound on this Weezer song (Tired of sex, Pinkerton) was with a port hole or not? We still hear the resonance from the head but we also get the attack from the beater. If I can achieve this type of sound with the port hole, then I do not worry. https://www.youtube...

Re: Kick drum: port hole or not?

I guess I'll have to cut the hole and experiment ! But in your experimence, is a drum head without a port hole can still give a focused and tight sound?

Kick drum: port hole or not?

Hi,

I just acquired a nice 3-ply Ludwig from the 70s for my band and recording. Right now there is no port hole on the reso head, and I'm wondering if I should cut one or not. I know it can change the sound a lot and not sure about what I should do. Any advices/experiences?

Thx

Echoboy vs Echoboy jr

Hi want to buy this plugin since there is a big sale right now. Which of the 2 would you recommend me? My main use will be for slapback and analog degradation. If I get the JR, will I regret it ? ;) It's 29$ vs 49$, not a big difference but the simplicity of the JR interface seem more practical and ...

Re: Mid-quality compressors vs Logic's ?

Thanks for all of your wise advices ! I know the only way to be sure about this is to plug in the outboard comps and fool around with them a bit. It's just that it's been a few years I haven't done any recording, I'm just lazy I guess. :lol: Also, since I only record my own band, and it doesnt happe...

Mid-quality compressors vs Logic's ?

I have a bunch of mid-quality pieces of gear: FMR RNC, Symetrix 501, DBX 166. I haven’t used them since I switched to digital recording (years ago). I wonder if I should keep them and finally use them as outboard or if Logic’s compressors are as good/equivalent? I wonder if I should sell or keep the...

Where do you buy used records online?

I'm wondering, is there some good websites dedicated to used records (especially vinyls), like abebook or alibris for books.

thanks!
