Hello all

I'm really tempted to buy one of this from a local vintage gear shop.

Tape Recorder TP-1012 R-Player Aiwa Co. Ltd.; Tokyo, build 1 http://www.radiomus…

I'm considering a harmonics based plugin called Kramer Tape from Waves for $99. Has anyone tried it? Is it doing what you want to do? I'd like to smooth out the digital signal on the master. In comparison, Reel Tape Saturation from Avid Digidesign runs about three times as much. Is there that much difference?

I have one of these left over from my when i bought a Sony JH 16 24 back in the the late nineties. I barely used the tape before ditching the Sony because it was just not reliable enough to use (without a full time tech on the staff!). Is it worth anything? Someone told me that it would probably need baking - is that true.

I've taken an interest in recording on a reel-to-reel recently.

I'd love to have a better understanding of which reel-to-reel to buy.(maybe an 8 track?)
How to send audio to it(are there inputs on a reel to reel?)
And after i've recorded the audio, how to get the audio to a different format(How to dump it to pro tools)

My son is a cellist getting into the advanced student range. My videography and sound recording have not kept pace! My goals are two fold: (1) a compact system for recording concerts where I am just sitting in the audience, with or without space for a tripod but only having a mike mounted on or near the camera, and (2) making live recordings of solo cello or cello + piano for auditions, e.g.

Thinking about getting a pair for OH. Too much to match with going to tape? I afraid things might be too dull. I have used a sf24 a bunch, but I was recording straight into PT.

Hello Guys

I was wondering if any of you know anyone in the Miami area with experience setting up and maintaining tape machines? I have a MCI-JH24 and would like to get an expert to look at it.

Thanks

Listening to playback right now. Man, just the mojo of the reels spinning gives the studio a better vibe. I need to start cutting my own masters to wax! I gotta say I do enjoy the freedom of no pitch correction.

Ok, picked up this with remote, extra cards, 8 rolls of Quantagy (1) not open, MRL Cal tape, Degauser, splice blck, +4 interface and take up reels. Got it for 700, thing looks practically brand new. OK, so I did a quick test to pass some audio straight out of my la 610 with a beta 57 on an acoustic, just to see if I could get everything going, I did.
