so yeah, i need one.

i googled it, didnt find anything.

i checked the fostex site and they don't seem to keep PDF manuals of their old analog gear up there.

i toolove experimenting its tough for me though, since my set-up for the past 4 years has consisted of a single sm57 and a portastudio. only so many different things you can do with that. now ive got a ompressor though, and a mixer, and im getting an 8 track, and some more mics (i cant wait to recor...

what a coincidence.

i just bought this not two days ago...my first compressor ever, believe it or not. can't wait to try it out.

sounds good, thanks guys.

i just did some research on it and looks to be right up my alley.



any idea on what these things go for? i would like to buy one from a reputable dealer but most used online music shops only seem to sell reel to reels...

Now if i can only find a 238s too.

i ordered 10 reels of 1/4" weeks ago for 10 bucks a pop.

have yet to recieve the tape nor gotten a refund.

My 4-track finally crapped out on me after 4-5 years of being kept on a dusy rug in a room that had people constantly smoking in it (dont worry i keep better care of my stuff now) and now im looking to buy an 8 track. its going to be for laying down ideas and getting the song/arrangement fully devel...

been recording to cassette for about 4 or 5 years now (since i was a young'n). 4-track broke. so i got a r2r.

this is a beautiful thing. in the chaos after the tape "shortage" i picked myself up a 1/4" fostex machine, my first r2r deck, for practically nothing. i had a feeling tape wasnt going to die just like that. maybe the demand for tape is going to increase now? i mean, there have got to be others like...

mini-disc is a pretty great recording medium for what it is. the other day i found an old first-gen MD laying around. went out and bought some MDs (10 bucks for a pack of 5), hooked up some binaural mics to it and recorded some acoustic guitar and voice. i was blown away by the sound. i now have a e...

i remember reading an interview in Tapeop with mark nevers and he was talking about when the monster cables came out. he said every fuckin studio in nashville completely rewired their studios with monster cables, cuz its ya know...got monster as an adjective! silly stuff. i'm pretty sure it was this...

...of all the "new to analog" and "I just bought an Otari" threads that have popped up in the past couple days, timed perfectly with the Quantegy shutdown ruckus? Do all these people have coincidentially bad timing, or are they just crafty enough to realize that all the chicken littles out there wi...

there will be tape again, my friend. don't fret.

Just think: You'll be able to charge more for analog recording because not only will it be "warm", "punchy", and "vintage"...it will be rare. yeah, well im pretty much buying a reel to reel to record my own music. but ive got a lot of friends in bands and some record in their home studios digitally...

maybe he actually used a rotating leslie speaker rather than a pedal.

i mean, is neil young just gonan take this lying down? i think not. :) i think neil's been recording to digital for a long time now. sorry. :D 400 is an awesome price for a 5050, but i too am wary about buying one over ebay.... yeah the price seems a bit too good to be true. man, neil young went di...
