So I am coming up to a point in time, in the next few months, where I will be able to start spending some serious money on upgrades to my studio. Let me quickly explain.

Why do voices from old radio and Television sound out of pitch, tuned a few cents high? Did they purposely detune? I'm certain you could set the speed so I've always wondered this.

Was it a fashionable trend? An effect the industry felt gave a "radio" sound?

I am a hobbyist and have been recording with an AKG c1000 mic for a 5 or 6 years and feel like its time to try something new. I was breifly looking at a RODE NT1A which is around 250$, but am just beginning my search. Any suggestions?
It will mostly be for acoustic guitar (occasionally used for vocals).

I want to deal specifically with the Round trip issue identified in other threads. We all agree that an ITB recording should not suffer from the phase issues of round tripping. This should be easy enough to test. There are several members who claI'm to be able to hear phase shift from "round tripping" easily.

Hello all!)I'm guitar player and actually I'm new in recording and mixing field. But this is my first attempt to make whole song - I wrote, record and mixed this song. But, as I've said, mixing is hard for me and I'm asking for help from guru of mixing) Please, point most obvious mixing mistakes in my mix(mistakes in the arrangement also accepted:)
Thanx for advance!)

Which order do you advise when recording to analog tape, the following...
The kick drum channel on the mixer would have a noise gate,compression and parametric linked in to the insert.
I was going to do...out of the insert into the Eq into the compressor into the noise gate and back into the desk.
What the best route?
Thanks.

Hello,

probably a stupid question but thought i would ask before i ruined something, but do i remove the cards from a Tascam tsr 8 by simply unscrewing the bottom plate and pulling them out? (with reasonable force?)
