Playback transfer of 24 track masters

[Bob Boyer]

Thanks Bob, I will look into this as soon as they are in my hands. I was contacted by a local guy who is interested in a guitar I own in trade for a working/maintained a Otari MTR-90. I guess he has two of them and live about and hour and a half away from me. Looks like this one from a borrowed image I found!! Supposedly all calibrated and everything, heads are guaranteed 90% life left, new capstans etc... just where the hell would I put something like that????

Can you imagine having one of these hooked to your home system LMAO!!!!

Oh, yes. I've occasionally wondered how much music you could stack on one 2" reel of tape using only two channels at a time. It'd have to be a bunch, given what a reel costs: http://ntspromedia.myshopify.com/co...mgi-sm911-2-studio-master-tape-on-a-10-5-reel

Of course, you'd have to repatch every time you wanted to change albums. Unless you got one of these as your new preamp: http://vintageking.com/toft-audio-designs-atb-series-console-24-channel

There's one of those Otaris plus a 24 track Studer A-80 (http://www.historyofrecording.com/studera80.html) and a 2 track, 1/2" Studer A80 mastering deck still sitting in the basement of the university's development offices I keep trying to rescue with no success as yet. Hmmmpf...

Bob, I have a used Peavey RQ 2326 24 track mixer in storage that I picked up in 2007 in a flight case for $400 from the fleamarket. The intent was to start playing out again and that has not panned out. I have thought really hard about trading for the Ontari but with such limited use, it would just take up space. I declined with the trade. If I could use it to make money, I probably would have chanced it but the wife would not be happy with that monster in the livingroom and there is no way I would keep it in the garage

Thanks for the baking links Ben. I would still leave that to someone who knows the process well

Yeah, the WAF on that monster is pretty low. I might get away with it in my man cave but even that would be pushing it.
