I have two, 212 Craig tape recorders that ran normal, until I used a 9v ac adaptor on both of them, & took out a component that makes it run in ff mode only, no play or rewind. The rewind goes to ff.

I am fighting an old Akai S3000. It seems to be working fine but I can't figure out how to format a 3.5" floppy. I have the instruction manual which shows a screen that you get when you push the FORM soft key, but I can't find how to make the FORM label come up.

btw, existing floppies load just fine so the drive is ok. and yes, I have checked the write protect.

So I am a major VST nerd and I really enjoy the convenience of keeping most things in ITB. I don't have anything but an LA-610 for outboard other than a Tascam DM-4800 which is as warm as. .well, it's not warm. So, I am totally reworking my monitoring end of my studio and adding some OTB analog summing. I am also, after that, planning on beefing up the front end with some more nice pres.

I'm just wondering. I am looking to buy the Focal Twins later this year. It seems that I could save about $700 (roughly 20%) by picking them up on ebay. Of course, that's just right now and I can't afford them yet. I mean, it seems like it would be ok from a reputable seller with good feedback and pictures, but how would I truly know that they were performing up to their standard?

I just got all my equipment set up (see my gear profile). I am looking at the Pro Tools screen and have no idea what to do or how to get any sound at all coming from the mic, the guitar or the midi keyboard. Please point me in a direction of where I can start - even just to make a simple guitar and vocal recording. Nothing ever comes with instructions anymore. Thanks.

Now I got to a store and tried a few preamps and my jaw dropped on this one. It was the best affordable sounding preamp ever ! Did I get you going ? Really ?

First of all, Please forgive me for any errors, pretty new to this forum!

I own a Behringer C1 studio condenser, I also own a Phantom power supply.

I have a XLR female that plugs into the Microphone with a male ending that goes into the phantom power supply.

I have been trying too put Cubase on my new laptop I got yesterday and there are all these issues with the servers and maitnence... anyone know what is going on?

I'm needing a new microphone since my old one has broke.

I've been looking at these two that are at my local stores on sale.
I do already have programs to edit the audio and fix anything (although I'm learning) (program is adobe audition)

M-audio mic:
PRICE: $80 (usually $100, so sale is $20 off)

So I got a few hundred dollars to spend on my studio set-up, all in the name of some deep house and dirty techno. I have say $300. Obviously I'm not looking for pristine audio quality here. I have some decent plugins and my Midas f24 lets me take advantage of that along with some cool modules from my eurorack. I'm looking for a little flava flava.

I've been thinking
