anyone know of a good place to find a lot of used tape machines at reasonable prices?

I've been asked by a friend to record two bands performing at a private party and create a CD of the performances. It's an electric jazz funk quartet and a blues trio. I'm doing this mostly as a favor and there is little pay, that's alright. Also, it's likely to be a bit of an out of control crowd. So, I want to do the best I can with a minimun of gear.

Has anybody had success with Audio to Score for drum tracks. I've tried this on a snare track that was gated so it only contained snare hits, and wanted to create midi triggers from the snare. Although all the midi notes created were on the beat, it contained cymbals, wooden blocks, kicks but very few snares.

when mixing(bouncing) a 16-bit mix internally (Pro ToolsIII), is it necessary, or at least important, to have a dither plugin on the master fader? ie. Waves L1 set to dither to 16-bit? i've heard various things about truncation, mixer channel summing, etc. (yes, i realize this may yet be another case of DUC-induced-paranoia!)

I have 1680 backup data from VSCDRII on several CDr's. Can I recover this to the VS2480 with the Masterlink? If the answer is NO, then is there any other way to transfer data besides the VSCDRII? Im also looking for ways to backup current 2480 data SAFELY. But if the VSCDRII is the best way, I guess I'll have to do it.

Any ideas as to why I would not be able to monitor on my sound card in Pro Tools? I just set up a Digi001 this last weekend. Everything works fine, except that I can't monitor or audition tracks through my sound card. The only way I can do this is through the headphone jack on the front of the Digi. I'm going to assume that all of the outputs on the back work.

Hey everyone,

So, if you're popping by this forum, why don't you let us know what you're doing with your Tascam gear! Writing tunes? Recording movie soundtracks? Capturing your dog barking in twelve different keys?

Let us know! :D

OK, I just (using Toast 3.5.6) burned another Demo disk (from masters created in PTLE) just as I always do but, this time something strange happened. I usually take a listen to the new CD by playing it on the internal CD Rom drive of my G4/400 using the Apple CD Audio Player app.

Hi
anyone remember this stuff :) anyway, I know of someone who has a ton of
Ampex 765 (i think its 765-anyway its close) this is 1" data tape on 12"
reels and it all looks in pretty good shape. Anyway the question is can I
use this tape on my 1" machine for recording music. Will I experience
problems with it? will is cause excessive head wear?

I am building custom monitor stands and wonder which part of the monitor to place at ear level...woofer, tweeter or in-between? I have seen monitor heights on Omnirax Furniture ranging from 34" to 45". The monitors will be placed vertically on the stands. I have the Behringer B2031's.

Appreciate any info
