Hey, looks like one o these desk is coming my way for free soon! Do you know are the Direct Outs pre or post fader? I plan to use it run into my DAW through interface.

Nice M3700, never used one as I used to use an Amek and a TAC scorpion many years ago. Just wondering, what monitors are you using? Many small studios lack the investment in good studio monitors which is vital. Again many years ago it was the JBL 4435's or 4412's which where the choice of many professional studios.

Lay back and enjoy the parade...

Thx for this. Really helps!!

I love this!! I play live solo,and I can't use click tracks, I just have a hi hat counting me in, than I play with my prerecorded bass and electric drums 🎉

Somehow the Spotify sounded like you on the plane and the vinyl was like your ears had just popped

Hello! Would it be possible to do a setup video, and also, could you please tell me what tape recorder model is that? if it's not too troublesome to do :)

Nice! Found it!

Peace. Wow idk the Tascam did Solo and Fader automation!!! Could you do a video on that functionality ?

This is a great channel and awesome content. Wish there was more. I’m currently going through all your vids and it’s some of the best I’ve seen for those who want to stay in analogue as much as possible. Awesome job!!

So can you record track by track on it or do you have to record the full band at once?

I think the absolute best way is to give the metronome only to the drummer, and also give him the controls! The drummer should decide when to turn it on/off or change the tempo. But only he can hear the click, no one else. Everyone else in the band listen to the drummer and to each other. And it depends on the context of the song if a tighter or a looser feel is better. Sometimes a synth must be perfectly synced to a tempo with the drummer. But I don't hate the so called robotic sound either, there a hundreds of drum machine songs that I still love to this day. :)

No phase reverse?

I don't know if you talked about the main power to your studio. All of your equipment should be connected to the same circuit if possible or the same grounding point.

Awesome thanks for sharing!!!!!!

shuguang 12ax7b's will give you the most gain. touching preamp tubes isn't an issue. power tubes is what "they say" you shouldn't handle but i never had an issue in decades from touching my tubes

Hi! Thanks for your assistance. But having the tape winded in full rewind speed is not detrimental? Thanks!

No. That is not right. I use this set up daily without noise.

Thank you so much for this amazing walkthrough of Analog Mixing, as a digital producer I learnt so much by just watching. One day I would love to record on Analog, it's one of my biggest dreams.

Late to this video. I agree! It’s has to breathe. Just like we need air to breathe, so does the song.

All I can think of is the decades of great music that happened without the click. I'm just a grumpy old drummer who hates playing to the click outside of practice. As you say, as long as the band is together, no one audibly hears those shifts in time. But so much mood can be created by being able to let the singer or soloist run at the leash for a rousing moment before reeling them back in for a quieter verse or outro. But I get it. Polish and perfection is what younger listeners have come to expect. Music evolves. I still think bands would benefit from spending more time playing together without the click to build proper cohesiveness the old fashioned way.

Totally agree. All my favourite music is not to a click.

...TIGHTNESS, what's the point ???

How would you recall? Do the little arrows show you where the faders was set?

amazing how crisp and open it sounds right off the bat without any processing

So no biasing on these?

What about recording the whole band together but with a click track? And you can use a click but not quantize anything and still play ahead of or behind the beat, etc. Lots of dimensions here.

Please im new at this so when you store it tails out and I want to play it after so many months do I just reverse what you did to play the tape sir? Sorry like I said im new doing this.

I had a 2009 Traditional that was brown or Desert burst aka Tobacco Burst as it was back in the day with the "Oxblood" solid color on the back. That cheapened the guitar for me as any of the red burst Trads had clear stained finishes on the back. Don't know why as the few Standards you see that were brown had a proper brown clear stained back. Yours is a weird color as there is a hint of red between the brown and amber colors. Maybe thats what they call it Desert Burst even though most have no red at all, just amber fading to brown. Yousr is weird but nice and rare so hang onto it. Btw, a Honey Burst is just straight yellow with little or no fade, no red or brown, maybe a slight hint of orange on the edges maybe. I would call yours Bourbonburst due to the hint of red.

how about the conductor in classical music, isn't the ancestor of the click-track?

The joy of playing and watching is the holding on together. With any backing, it's training wheels, and people hold on to that instead of each other. A bit like tracing instead of drawing

Sorry. Both sounds awful with that distortion.

Why did you cut off the leader?

Are each of the individual tracks mono or stereo? I’m a noob to tape recording and am wondering about purchasing one of these

So what do you suggest for normal use? Still tails out ??

Ich arbeite mit Tascam M3500 24 Channel und Tascam MSR 24s. Effekte alles Hardware. Vielen Dank für die tollen Videos! I work with Tascam M3500 24 Channel and Tascam MSR 24s. Effects all hardware. Thank you for the great videos!

Imagine having to use your ears...priceless

bonjour je possède la M3700 avec les cartes optionnelles de symétrie mais dans mon demangement je ne retrouve plus le cable d'alimentation supply et je ne n'arrive pas à trouver un cable de remplacement si vous avez un lien à me donnez pour cela se serai super merci

I too love micing the cab from a bit of distance....it's all about having a little "air" and interaction between the speakers and the cabinet itself to get more realism. I'm not really aiming for "in the room" sounds, but something that presents as more synergistic, as opposed to hearing a disembodied speaker. Obviously, there's no wrong way and if it sounds good to you, it is good! But my way has always been to get the cabinet involved in my recorded tone.

You have a point there, but the problem is it's 2023. Most of the live bands use the click to sync other aspects of the live show. Lights, Patch changes, Backing tracks are essential part of live shows these days and the click will make sure that lights will trigger properly at the proper time, guitars will get distorted at the chorus etc. etc. Playing to a click is like taming a dragon, it's gonna get messy if you you're patient with it and did not spend time with it, but when you finally tame the beast, you'll open up a whole new world of options especially now that recording music can be done by a single person in their home studio.

Like mine, desert burst

Desert burst

Compare to a tobacco sun burst

As a service centre for various makes, I can vouch for Tascam. The Fostex B16s I worked on suffered with crosstalk. I ended up with a Tascam TSR-8 myself when I left the UK for Brazil.

My one started to hum also, changed the valves and all good again

Which 12ax7s did you use? Nothing to do with tubes but As a long time JMP-1 owner I’d advise owners to keep note of there presets incase of the battery going flat . if anybody dose not know this, the battery sole purpose is to keep those presets stored .

This is brilliant! Such a great demo and illustration of analog recording and production. I have a Tascam M1516 console and a TSR-8. Love recording with it, and it doesn't have the issues of a DAW, like lock up or firmware updates.. it just works! 😉👍

Hi, Guerrilla Studios! Great video. Have you ever some trouble, with the internal 3v battery? I'm very worry about leakage and maybe, it causes serious damages to the pcb. Thanks! Excuse my sloppy english. Cheers from Viamao City - Brazil 👊😃🎸🇧🇷
