I tend to turn off my adblocker for forums / websites that I frequent and get a lot of good info from - they need the ad revenue and I need the forum, so its sort of quid pro quo.

Re: Listening to mixes in the car...
.flac or .wav files here - just say no to mp3 :twisted: I record mostly classical music and I really don't like the sound of mp3 (although a lot of my younger clients ask for delivery in that format). I usually burn a test CD and run that around to the car, the living room stereo and the stereo on t...

Re: Minimal Band/Composer/Studio Website
My daughter is a singer and actor who maintains a website for professional reasons. Her domain name and web hosting cost about $30/year; she is in the musicians' union (AFM) and gets a pretty good deal from them. Her site is just a basic Wordpress template that somebody initially helped her tweak. S...

Re: Reusing Tape
The most common fault with older tapes is 'dropout'. This is caused when a bit of the oxide layer is damaged by humidity, abrasion, stretching, or other mechanical damage. It might only last for a second, but it ruins your take. When you are recording 8 tracks on 1/4", as with the Fostex, a very sma...

Re: Power Amplifiers in 2019?
I second the ART SLA 1 - great sound, great bang for buck, would have no issue with loads down to 4 ohms. I have three and have never had an issue with them,

Re: Tascam 38
Most problems on the Tascam 32/34/38 tape decks is where the various cards seat in the motherboard. If re-seating the cards doesn't do the trick, you might even have to resolder the connectors - apparently there were quality problems with the flow soldering of the PCBs on these models occasionally. ...

Re: Headphones and comfort
I find most open-back cans more comfortable for long listening sessions - an old pair of AKG K240 DF are my go-to endurance cans. I also have the ATH-M50, which I use on location recording sessions because of the isolation they provide...they are not as comfortable but the sessions tend to be shorte...

Re: Michael Joly is getting out of the microphone business...
This sucks. I had just visited his site a couple weeks ago with the idea of having him upgrade my mk012 pair. Is there anyone else that does a comparable job? Probably not as he mentions the difficulty of find a successor. Perhaps I'll diy it. Fortunately I have a third one i can experiment on firs...

Re: Fave Soundtrack
The Blues Brothers and Rocky Horror got to make the list. And, although not strictly speaking movie soundtracks, old Broadway original cast recordings.

Re: How To: Replace an 8-Track R2R with a Laptop
A Zoom F8 would effectively replace the Tascam 38, has controls like a tape deck, and a tiny screen compared to a laptop. Also comparable in price to a decent laptop. Plus it has excellent mic preamps, should you ever want to ditch the mixer and travel really light to a remote gig.

Re: Monitors - Hanging Instead of Stands
I've been to a couple studios where they mounted monitors to arms extending from the wall - 2.5" metal pipe type deal with an elbow and pivots at the wall flange and monitor. No idea what you'd call this or if it's a "true studio product." I imagine places that deal in permanent PA installs in club...

Good to hear Jack is still playing with tape. Reminds me of the story of Springsteen creating Nebraska.

Re: vinyl collecting ( and surrounding planetary atmosphere )
7" reels were never as popular as LPs but there are lots of used, pre-recorded reels from the 70s...Craigslist, Kijiji, Ebay are all places I have purchased from. Generally, if you stay away from the late eighties and nineties when polyester tape with sticky shed syndrome emerged, used tapes are OK....
