After all of the troubleshooting done so far, I'm about 90% sure there is something wrong with the circuitry. A few years back I shipped all of the cards to Jim Williams to mod and supposedly improve... and for $600 my machine was rendered unusable. He replaced a bunch of stuff in the repro, rec, an...

I tested it with another tape brand and the issue was still there. When I play low freq tones off of my MRL tape, I'm not hearing the problem, so I think it must be something on the recording side or something related to bias. Any ideas out there as to what would cause just the low end to distort li...

Thanks Nick. Here are my initial answers: The machine has separate amplifiers for low and high freq on the repro cards, rec cards only high. The distortion happens equally on all channels (2 channel machine). The distortion sounds much more prominent on the low end. The tape has both repro and cue m...

Recording to tape, should the low end sound like this?
I just finished calibrating my Sony/MCI JH110c 2 track 1/4" tape machine like I've done many times in the past. However, I noticed the low end sounds more distorted than I remembered. I thought it must have been a bias issue but overbiasing by various amounts doesn't seem to improve the sound. I'm r...

The mixer is a Studio master 8 into 4 which I have, and the tape unit is a Tascam 238 which I'm thinking about buying. I really love this mixer and wanted to make sure I could incorporate this tape machine. The mixer manual says you can run the 4 sub buses out to a 4 track tape machine, but I want t...

Studiomaster 8 into 4 mixer with 8 channel tape recorder?
I have a rackmountable Studiomaster 8 into 4 mixer. The back panel of the mixer has 8 XLR mic inputs, 8 1/4" line inputs, and 8 Out/In 1/4" insert jacks. I really want to use this mixer with an 8 channel tape recorder to track using the 8 mixer preamps and then mixdown the 8 tape channels through th...

Not trying to be a dick but why would you want to do that... is it just for the joy of physically cutting and taping together pieces of tape? Every sound I use hits tape first in my setup, and sometimes hits the tape again but I always dump it back in the box and do the splicing there. I guess if yo...

Hey, thanks for the reply. I just have the software that came with my rme interface which has a spectral analyzer and phase scope... doesn't go up to 120khz though unfortunately. I could be using the fluke meter wrong too but the readings are all over the place... The tape recorder manual says to to...
