i picked one of these up on the bay and could use some help in evaluating it. Id like to try to get it to sound as good as i can but don't know where to start, (other than alcohol on the tape head but not on the rubber) i asssume 15ips will sound better than 7? any recommendations on where to get ta...

DIY mixer question It seems that there is much less to these consoles than there is to an outboard mic pre. (complexity wise) we are only talking about some faders (pots) and pan pots with an output gain stage. My question is where is the great sound coming from. I bought a bunch of alpha sliding po...

ill give it till the end of the week then its off to ebay. This thing is exremely solid and sounds great.

Im offering this to gearslutz and tapeopers before ebay. It is an absolute mint G&L Legacy strat made by Leo Fender in the USA. Sunburst with beutifull grain lines, maple neck, locking tuners, 3 white single coils, white pick guard, all 100% orginial. 4 bolts in the neck. This thing doesn't have a s...

got ya , what i meant was that i was going for a well tracked gritty guitar sound and what i got was a preamp distorting in a way that didn't help. so i don't mind that i have to reamp but i doubt i will ever get it 'right' by fixing it during the mix. its actually turining into something sompletely...

thanks guys,
i know what i have to do...experiment until i rule everything out one by one, i can't do that cause im at work so i had to tell someone!!!!
thanks


these takes were great so i may try to reamp them to add some life back into the tone but i hate to have to do that.

good ideas guys, the mic was about 1.5 feet away, cables could have been an issue ill check. voltage comment was based on the fact that i thought pre amps need a certain level to be operating in their optimal range (if your signal is too hot you would have to turn preamp down too low which gets it o...

i tracked a hollow body through a fender amp with an LD condensor (PAD at -10) I had to turn my RNP almost all the way down to avoid clipping. i know that this is shit because the preamp isn't operating with enough voltage and the sound is thin. what did i miss here???

is this still for sale?

i am trying to build this line level mixer http://www.forsselltech.com/8chsum_1.pdf i have a few questions 1) what is the opa604 doing in a passive mixer? it doesn't indicate power going to it so that throws what i know about op amps on its ear 2) can i take out from the 50k log pots to the output, ...

im trying to go the same route. get 16 channels out of the digi and go into a allen and heath or something. that seems to be the way that most people that i respect do things.

question now is where the hell do i find a good sounding board with 16+ channels that isn't 2 grand or more.

i need help with some basics. I want to add tracking drums on tape to my PT rig. I can get away with 4 tracks but i want something that will sound decent. i know that i need to consider tape speed ips, and tape format (1/4,1/2 inch) but which decks do i have a good chance of finding that have a pret...

how do you like the alesis. how do the converters compare to the mini? digi? rosetta?

thanks

ok so i have my 002r clocked via spdif to my apogee mini me. question is if i add 8 channels via lightpipe do i have to use the digi clock for everything? i know that wordclock is used to fix this but no wordclock in the 002r. is there any way to make these 3 devices sync using the best of the 3 clo...

many, many thanks.
as a great river is out of my price range this will definitaley be on deck to build.

any preference? ever built one?
