Hey folks, I have a quick, fairly dumb question about going from balanced to unbalanced. I very rarely use any unbalanced gear outside of my guitar and bass rigs, but I recently started a cassette based record label, and am recording master cassettes to duplicate on a cassette deck that only has RCA...

they had 100 Nackamichi decks in their dupe room. That is wild! Yeah cassette have become in vogue in a lot of underground communities again, especially punk, metal, avant garde, and indie rock. Frankly I'm into it. Likewise! There's something i really like about the format. The high end situation ...

Just a head's-up-- Back in the day, when cassettes were the thing, high-speed duplication was looked at as a convenience at home, but not what you wanted when you were getting a run done professionally. "Quality" dubbing was done in real time. A studio I used to work and hang at had a busy (nationa...

Also - tabs in and tabs out. I'm imagining master cassettes must be tabs in, but I can duplicate everything on tabs OUT cassettes, so they can't be taped over. At least that's the impression I got from chatting with Steve at National Audio Company.

Hi TapeOp folks, Recently, I've been working on more or more releases destined for cassette. I'm also in the process of starting a small record label, and will be releasing many things on cassette. While its obviously not an ideal format, I have some cassettes that I think sound good, and I'd like t...

Hi TapeOp folks, I'm on the lookout for some gear and am hoping some of you may be selling it. 1) 8 channel interface with ADAT input. USB or FW. Something along the lines of an Apogee Ensemble, RME Fireface 800, Metric Halo 2882, or Universal Audio Apollo. Shooting for something under or around $10...

Furman and Sytek both sold. RME still up for grabs. Make me an offer.

Thanks!

Alex

I have an offer on the Furman, but the RME and the Sytek are still up for grabs. Make me an offer?

Thanks,

Alex

Bump. Any and all offers will be considered, so don't be shy. These will probably head to eBay in the next few days if they don't get much interest around here.

Thanks,

Alex

Hey TapeOp buds, I'm cutting down my mobile setup to a few choice pieces, since I rarely do full-band mobile sessions these days. All the gear is in good, working condition, and has been very well taken care of. SYTEK AND FURMAN ARE BOTH SOLD, FIREFACE STILL AVAILABLE. ACCEPTING ANY AND ALL OFFERS R...

Hey TapeOp buds, I'm cutting down my mobile setup to a few choice pieces, since I rarely do full-band mobile sessions these days. All the gear is in good, working condition, and has been very well taken care of. RME Fireface 800: Really fantastic sounding and astoundingly flexible interface. 10 inpu...

Bump on this, especially in light of the new Apollo Twin - seems like there's a lot going on in the $700 or so price range that's all quite cool. Anyone tried any of it? What would you go for and why?

Alex

I'd love to hear from more people who have experience with some of the mid-end / high-end 2-4 channel interfaces around. I had a look at the Metric Halo stuff, and it looks great, but I'm not sure I can swing over $1000 for a two channel interface. Right now, I'm really leaning towards the Audient i...

I'm using a focusrite iTrack (two tracks, needs AC Power but can provide phantom power to a microphone ) into an iPad to do some recording for video shoots and it is sounding pretty good. I could as well use an iPhone which is certainly a bit easier to haul around than the laptop for acquiring soun...

Hello fellow TapeOp-ers, I'm a student and freelance engineer from Ohio, but will be spending the next year living and studying at the University of Exeter in England. While I won't have a tracking space of my own to work in, I'd like to continue working on mixing projects and be able to do overdubs...
