We are looking for the manual for the Studer A 820 1/4 inch 2-track to do the alingment. If anyon has that info, please let me know.

Is there really so much of a difference between those sample rates?

Hey Guys,

Whose 1/4" tape is the best product on the market for mixdown? (Cost is not an issue).

And. . do you prefer studio quality or master quality?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Sincerely,

Rod

Hi all,

I have gotten my hands on a few of the soft synths and sotfware drum modules, and I have since sold all of my outboard MIDI gear.

I have a (don't laugh) ROLLS 8ch line mixer which I use for my various synths - into my soundcard. For the price, it's well built and very quiet...plus one sends in/out.

The problem is I like to make my own cables. But the 1/4" mono jacks on this unit are too close together for me to use my fav. Neutrik plugs (NP2C). they crowd eachother, and will not fit.

I have some nice Grado headphones for monitoring, but becuase much of my voice-over work will now end up being distributed as streaming Flash audio, I'd like to listen to the mix on cheap consumer desktop computer speakers as well -- the kind of thing that comes bundled with a PC or that you'd pick up at Circuit City or Costco -- that's what most of my audience will have.

i am having a bit of a small dilemma and i need some advice. i have recorded some songs on my computer using a MOTU 828mkII and Logic Express. most of the songs have been recorded in 96 and i am wondering how to convert the whole song and not just individual files down to 44.1 or 48.

Is it safe to leave cables (XLR, 1/4TRS) plugged in your gear? At the end of every studio session, do you guys disconnect all the wires?

Hello!

I'm just about as new to this forum as I am to this machine, an otari MX-5050 BQII 1/4" 4-track, and to analog reel-to-reels in general. My only other experience with this stuff is on an MTR-90 2" 24-track that required minimal calibration to sound amazing.

How many folks solder their own cables? I do some soldering at work which gives me a little advantage and plan to reconstruct my studios' entire wiring. I'd like to get some insight from a few "Pros" because I'm new to using a patchbay. Actually, I think I need a couple of patchbays for that matter.
