    ughh computers are even worse for recording, i had a nice configuration in REAPER for a while and then i open it and suddenly everything's reset. what am i to do at this point....
    Rolfie
    working with tape machines a bit again. i really need to remember to record a bit louder so it's not as noisy during quieter parts....

    I tend to use a headphone amplifier through the line in, since my tape recorder doesn't have a recording level.

    what do you mean it doesn't have a recording level ?

    As in this is a very old tape recorder, merely designed for loading games off cassette, tapes only record in mono. There's no meter and/or buttons to tell whether you've adjusted the levels correctly. There's also a remote port on the side, too.

    haven't had much luck repairing the tape recorder. i might move to a digital multitrack recorder for a while, but i dunno what to do with the reels of tape i still have lol.

    i don't really know but it won't record anything lol. the machine still turns on though, so it's probably not some huge electrical failure
    transport controls still work fine too.

    I would double-check for any corroded traces first before confirming that its not the hardware which is faulty, as many old electronics do be like that. When I got a really vintage cassette player from a flea market, opened it up to check for damage, the wires were starting to break and traces starting to rot. I had to remove parts of the solder mask and weld the connections back together.

    mostly the connections seem to be good condition for its age. i think maybe the playback/record head is bad bc it doesn't look to be in great shape (kinda flat looking), and that'd explain why neither things work lol.
    also i don't think tape heads are easy to find for this unit. i could try cleaning it (like channel cards and such) but i feel like if that was the issue then at least 1 track would have some output....

    I always get the problem of my pfps being half cut off. Usually it works after a couple tries though.

    if anyone has ever wondered what SMPTE timecode sounds like, here it is.. i turned down the volume for ear safety but still headphone warning if you really like things way too loud. though probably if that is the case you don't care about ear health, so good luck lol

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Kodi repost are still pretty popular
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Google them basically web crawlers to movie sites
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
