What's wrong with Tama? I have a Tama set, that I get some great sounds out of.

Does anyone know where I can find some information on Shinohara VU meters? The ones I have are are from around the early 80s The models are SD-830 and SD-460. Thanks for any info.

I got it working!!!! :) I noticed when I shut the PSU off that one led was flickering a little bit. So I started checking the connections on things. Turns out I forgot to solder one of the leads on a cap when I built the thing three months ago. :oops: It's crazy the thing worked at all. Thanks for a...

Ok, after doing some more trouble shooting this afternoon, I've discovered the -15V output is actually putting out -19 volts. That seems like a big difference. Is it possible the voltage regulator went bad? :? As far as the transformers, I didn't have the old ones so I had to find some that would wo...

I posted awhile back about getting this console working. here is the link. http://messageboard.tapeop.com/viewtopic.php?t=61758&highlight= There are pictures in the post that show everything in the power supply but the transformers. I bought the transformers new when I started this project a few mon...

Here is some more background info to help me pin poit this issue. The transformers are in a seperate external box. If I plug in just the transformers they hum. Is that normal? I replaced the electrolytic caps in the power supply when I bought the console. Are there other components I should just cha...

Yeah I unplugged everything and monitored with headphones, still hums. I guess I'll check the grounding. what in the power supply would make it hum?

The console is a StudioMixer II. It was made by Amerimex Co. Inc. Based out of Atwood California. I can't find any information on this console at all. I posted an hear awhile ago about building a power supply for it. about a month ago it started to humm, and the the humming sound sort of fizzled out...

My console has started humming like crazy. It' an old console (early 80's) It worked fine and then in the middle of recording, starting humming. Any ideas where to start looking? Thansk for any help.

it's not really so much asking someone to 'change the way he plays', but asking them to adapt themselves to the situation they have in front of them. This is the exact point I'm trying to make, only for the recordist instead. I feel that the band's sound comes form the way they play. If they crank ...

Jakeao, also remember that not everyone has the Steve Albini dogma that you seem to have. And also remember BOTH are valid ways to make records. Kudos to you for having a philosophy that works for you and your clients, but remember it isn't the ONLY way. Having used both, I totally understand the t...

These type of post always seem to piss me off. ( maybe it comes from my drum bashing background :wink: ) Anyway, it amazes me that people would go through the trouble to alter the sound of the band. If you're hired to record the band, than good or bad record what you get. Now if the band wants you t...

Ok this isn't really recording gear related, but please bear with me. I have 1978 radio from my olf pickup that I decided to mod so I could plug my mp3 player into. I got all that stuff done without any issues, and it works great :) . The problem I have now is that the radio was really quiet, until ...

This is my all time favorite though.
