    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

    Going with that right now with a dental claim morons put the wrong company name and rejected claims been on hold an hour for the claims department
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    @Sicklyboy, BTW is it better to go usb or bt for these mini Pcs figure you may know since you play with rack systems so much
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Counting my blessings that my insurance hasn't caused me really any headache (yet, at least) despite the fact that I've been getting way more appointments and what not recently due
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @K3Nv2, what do you mean, what are you trying to do?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Just looking at a built in mouse pad keyboard combo
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I loose the dongle constantly but they may have better connection with usb frequency
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Imo Bluetooth is always a option of last resort for me
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Except for phones because it tends to be pretty reliable there
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I got a bad habit of taking out usb transmitter and loosing it because they can't you know print names on the damn things
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    But any desktop OS, I've never had anything but frustration trying to get Bluetooth devices to work reliably and stable. It might pair and connect once, and then next time I go to use it I have to delete and re-pair it again
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    5.3 has been so good I think 6 is really going to make it stable
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I remember how shit 3 was
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Ptouch labeler aren't terribly expensive, label shit yourself fam. This is the one I own and there are cheaper ones too https://www.amazon.com/Brother-P-Touch-PTH110BP-Portable-included/dp/B09QXYND6S
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Solves part of the problem, mixing up which dongle is which. Then you just have to not lose them lol

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Even my Xbox One controller I have it paired to my desktop over Bluetooth, it USUALLY works but sometimes it refuses to connect and I have to delete and re-pair it. Maddening
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Gigabytes built in mobo bt/wifi pairs pretty decent
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    That's what I'm using :(
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Ran a driver update in device manager?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Not recently but I think it's less a driver issue and more just Windows having a garbage Bluetooth stack
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Could be I was having issues when I first upgraded it and didn't realiser gigabyte has specific driver revisions which is stupid
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Which is married to the boards revision
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Made my first review
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    I've gone years without ever removing a logitech usb transmitter. Across several replacements of keyboards and mice. It just stays put.
