Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone knew of any VST or DX tape/channel-strip style plugs, similar to the McDSP and DuY stuff.
Thanks,
Mitchell

I recently bought a studio-master series 4 mixer and i was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this board. I'm using it for recording and I was wondering about using the inserts as outputs to tape. I have a problem though. When I use a quarter inch non-balanced cable, the levels are way to hot to tape. I was wondering if using a balanced quarter inch cable would take care of that.

Ive heard of many engineers who run final mixes onto 2' tape what is the purpose of this ; is it for the tape saturation and if so can magneto do the same thing .. please respond

just curious where i can get the best deal on MRL tape. i am looking for 2" 15 ips MRL tape any help would be great. jason

Bill,
That was an excellent, detailed answer you gave @ "Small Steps" re; Mackies, gain structure and headroom. Thanks for the back up. Sometimes I am a little weary of drowning the inquirer with too much info at one time but you dealt with it in a very succinct manner. It is obvious that you have a handle on the tech side as well as the creative side of things.

I am about to upgrade my system.

I would like to hear from professional Musicians and Producers with their opinions on the sonic quality of various recording formats.

For example, though many people I have spoken to claI'm that this is not possible, I believe that Pro Tools sounds better than Logic Audio. I have them both.

Hello,

I own a Yamaha MTX-8 8 track cassette recorder. The tape speed has begun to vary considerably, as if someone were turning the pitch control. (This happens regardless of whether pitch control is set to fixed or variable). Any ideas about what might be the cause of this, and potential fixes? Thank you.

Hello all,

I recently recived some disturbing news, after looking into the very in-tree-ging Tube Echo unit built by Richard Beck in 1998, based on the famous Echoplex unit, (I have one from 1962!) called simply, "The Plex."

Greetings:

For fx and MAYBE mixdown purposes I have gotten a otari mtr 12 1/4" 2 track.

Its been near 5 years since I last worked at a studio with analog machines and it seems tape has changed a bit.

I checked for 499 as I want to hit it plus 9, but no store seemed to want to carry Quantegy, who carries Ampex( thats how long I been away)
