Yeah that's right. the ALESIS is 8 track. It worked very well in last nights' testing.
Well... Here's the scoop. I'm not 100% I'm going to fix the other two or put them on on ebay for parts machines but sadly two of them are sickly.
The Panasonic SV3700 - Lights up and tape drawer works properly open shut, but any tape inserted is pretty much ignored after some clicking like the tape isn't threading maybe.
The TASCAM DA-302 - The dual one. Works great IF the tape is recognized properly. Started out with ER01 and ER03 codes on both sides and now more often than not Drive2 will not load a tape on door close, but Drive1 will about 60% of the time. IF the tape inserts and threads properly then both sides record great. It only has 109 and 85 hours on the heads.
Anyone know a reasonable repair shop? or want to try their luck with one or both for extremely reasonable costs?
I'm with Bunsen. I can't complain at all for what like even on ebay pricing about 700.00 in working machines, and about 50 to 100 in the parts machines for next to nothing. And to top it off today is my birthday.
(Just got the lastest Computer Music magazine and MusicTech magazines which feature mixing and mastering as this months topics too!) Mix it old school! Mix it on a MAC!
