I know you've probably ruled it out due to cost, but I kind of think the 388 is the perfect "home studio" reel to reel...with its self-contained nature, unique sound, and relatively low cost to operate (using 1/4" tape at 7.5ips is pretty economical). Yes, machines are around $2k. But if you used it...

I went from a quad core cheese grater to a 12 core cheese grater a few years ago after I was hitting the limits of the quad core for a film. I think that’s still an awesome system, good bang for buck, if you are like me and like the expandability. But of course, no thunderbolt. Which hasn’t been a p...

Would an M-Audio M Track Eight be sufficient? https://m-audio.com/products/view/m-track-eight

There's a used one for sale in my area.

I have no experience with this model but on paper it seems like it should work.

How much are you expecting to spend?

The thing with the 388 is, you’ll need to transfer all 8 channels at once (as opposed to 2 at a time or whatever) due to sync issues...so logically then you need an interface capable of 8 simultaneous ins.

Actually, I'm okay with that idea. Any advice on packaging? I don't want my sloppily recorded rough tracks wiped clean by an over enthusiastic DHS employee. I think with regard to shipping 1/4" reels, just common sense packaging is sufficient (pack things so they aren't flopping around loosely in t...

sounds interesting. Thanks, just submitted the full score for this feature over the weekend (have been working on this for some time, as the film has been in post production awhile). I expect there will be some adjustments so technically not “finished” but had to make a cut off for a festival deadl...

Its been ~14 years since I've mixed on NS10s, and at least for the me, I'm not into them. I get why they would be good to have in a commercial studio for sure (versus some places I go to that have abstract monitors I know fuck all what I'm hearing), but for my own personal studio, I wouldn't want th...

Workin on music for a supernatural western film. :alien: sounds interesting.

Picked up a couple rack devices on the cheap... Emu Proteus 2000 and a Roland SDE 1000.

Yea no problem, I followed the instructions in the manual. (This is with tape already loaded properly) power off, plug mic or instrument into mic or line inputs of channel 1 plug in headphones power on make sure dbx is on (both front panel and rear switches) set input in channel 1 to mic or instrum...

when I record to machines like 388 or a3440 etc. - I'd usually want the opposite pre of warm/slow/syrupy something fast and snappy in the API style is my favorite as it compliments the characteristics of the format providing a good balance to digital is another story then I might reach for warm/slo...

I’ve had a website forever but I feel like the hosting is overkill for my needs. I am not a band or a studio for hire, but I am a “minor league” composer with a couple film credits and some albums and remixes with various well known people which is why I feel like I should have some place holder out...

This may sound redundant but to provide meaningful help vs shooting in the dark, Can you outline verbatim all of the steps you are taking to record and playback? Are you plugged into the headphone jack vs speakers, etc...tell us as much as you can.

Not to discount the Radial, but on the cheap the Midas L10 looks like a crazy deal. I have an L6 which is just fine for my needs. I like the easy chaining of channels (switch versus patching cables), and 10 year warranty is legit. 8) Do you think the internal switched power supply is a compromise? ...
