Hi,
I got this Tascam tsr8 that I’m learning to use and fix. The tape always touches the sides of the reel. So I put new tape on it thinking that it was because they were old, but I have the same issue. That makes recording impossible as the tape hitting the reel sound gets into the mics.
Can someone here had the same issue and can help me fixing it ?
Thanks !
Hi,
I got my first reel to reel deck. I'm not new to the tape world as I often record on cassette through a 424 mkII but it is my first time working on a reel to reel machine and there's a few things that get me kinda lost.
I go through a m208 mixer that I got with the TSR8, and I get my signal moving on the deck monitor as seen on the video. But when I press record nothing seem to go on tape. Did I miss something ?
I plugged the 8 OUTPUT of the tsr8 in the 8 TAPE IN on the mixer. And I plugged the 4 bus output of the mixer on the first 4 input of the deck, as I presume we can only record up to 4 track at the same time with the M208 mixer (on the video the 4 output couples were plugged on all 8 input of the tsr8).
I went through both of the manuals and been trying around for a few days without success.
Is there anybody here that could help me ? Is it just that the recording head isn't working ? (The previous owner did not want to help me that much)
Cheers !
