Hello Gang, You'll have to forgive my continued greenhorn questions but we have acquired a number of reels of SM900 and one of 911 (and a Quantegy 499 reel, but I fear that's going to be a sticky mess). Anyway, I tried to use one of these rolls of tape a while back on a session running alongside PT....

Thanks for the update. Hey Greg, I noticed from a thread on FB that you are now the proud owner of said head block and guides. Would you be willing to share your sources and more importantly the affordability? If I can move on my a80 1" 8 track for the cost of setting up the a820 fo 1" 8 ...

Thanks everyone.

Thanks everyone.

I used to do a lot of tape archiving and classical music is my jam, so if you have any q's, hit me up. Thanks Airloom, no doubt I will. I think I am unlikely to use it myself as most of the stuff I record will be noisy enough. I do some archiving for people and have a tape just come in with Dolby S...

Dolby S was a consumer product used in cassette decks. It wasn't very good. I think it was marketed as a budge version of SR. Was it ever installed in multitrack tape machines?

You are quite right, I meant to put Dolby SR. I must look quite the fool. I have corrected this so I don't look quite as much the buffoon.

Wotcha, We've just received our new tape machine and it comes loaded with Dolby SR which both our tech and a mastering engineer we work work with rave about. We have yet to use it but have a wind quintet recording pending and wondered if it was worth trying it out on that (it's a freebie for my Dad ...

If anyone is in the market for a 24 track we are shifting this ol’ twin tub on via MJQ. According to the yantpo book it was first installed at Eel Pie. Whether or not this entitles you to play rhythm guitar with The Who is not something I feel comfortable answering with any authority. Oh yeah, we al...

If I was to purchase a headlock for an a820, would I need to also find 1" guides also? I expect the answer to this is yes. But I thought I'd put it to the PRF before I made a fool of myself in front of JRF. Yeah, You'd need the whole set of guide rollers. Audiohouse, the current owner of Stude...
