I'm not sure what i'm going to be doing now, i want to start getting into multitrack recording, via Cubase VST, so i've been looking for a good card.. one i found (forget the name now, oh, 'Darla' by ?? ) that has 8 outputs and 2 inputs, which can all be used simutenilously(sp) - Cubase supports this, you can have up to 8 submasters, and direct each to one of the ports.. basically that means you can record two separate tracks at the same time you're listening to 8 others (8 channels anyways, because you can play more than one track back (up to 32-digtial audio, plus a few hundred midi) i guess =) on a single channel). but that card only does digtal-sound, no midi.. so i'd need to find a midi card, or perhaps just use an AWE64 (and that way i can still use a regular sound card for games and other stuff =) ). in fact, with that card, AND a regular sound card, i'd have 10 outputs (8 from this card, plus two (left + right) from the awe64) and three or four inputs (2 on the card, then one mic, one line-in (which is stereo, so with a tiny bit of mixing could be two in itself, giving you 5. plus i'd have midi.. ;) ttyl, greg --- Maximus/2 3.01 * Origin: * Chaos BBS * 6i3.389.O8i6 * Kingston, ON!

What Walkman has the above split? Usually the FM CA> memories is a multiple of the AM, would be 21 in this case. The nicest layout for memories was this Panasonic unit that unfortunatly, suffered a fall and several tape motion buttons flew off. :-) But it had a killer tuner. There are 3 "direct access" memory buttons (3am, 3fm) and then another button to "cycle" through another bank of 4 memories, and to add to that, the whole thing was repeated in a "mode 2" setting, so each "mode" held 14 memories total, for a total of 28. Nothing has come close in operational ease. Too bad it felt and worked like a cheapie tape player though. But that tuner... I can stand outside our place, facing the Y95 tower and it didn't overload, everything else does, and that's with the DX/Local switch set to DX... :-) I gotta take this thing apart and fix the volume as it's gone weird and is at a fixed setting...

In Russia (that's where I live) we have very long tradition of vacuum-lamp amplifiers making. I think you know, that most lamps, used in USA made audio technic where imported to USA from USSR (and China), because they has very small price with not bad quality. But other (semiconductor) compounds, produced in USSR always was not of the best quality, because our industry did not know any concurence. That was caused by "soviet" centralised economic system. Only military technic, produced in USSR was of the "world" quality... In 1985 in USSR the "perestroika" began. The new gouvernement, witch in the head where Gorbochev, tried to reparate economic system of the country, byt in 1991 USSR had crashed down. The new Russian federation had no good (normal) economic system (and now is has only very bad one) that's why most interprises was stopped and only now some of them begin to produce something. The new interprises, create with new economic system are so young, that they cannot create good production. Most people in Russia now resale something, byt not produce. How we live so, we don't know ourselves ;-) So, in USSR people had no possibility to use much imported technic, byt they always tried to do it. In the domain of professional audio (in the recording studios) was used in most cases technic imported from other "soviet" countries as Poland, Cheko-Slovakia etc. Most interprises, who produced some not bad audio for home use was in Estonia, Litva, Latvia, than after 1991 they become forigen for Russia, but bacause only Russia always buyed all their production, now they are in very bad situation - nobody in the world want to buy their technic. If you understood what I wrote (with so "good" English as mine, I think that was not very simple ;-) you must understand too, that now in Russia we all are surrounded by imported technic, because we have no domestic audio, but everybody in the world want to sell us tomething after they received this possibility :-) In the domain of home audio Panasonic try of all their forces to sell us their equpement. SONY go after them step by step (in the domain of "Walkman" they are the first). AIWA sell mini- and midi-systems, their walkmans are not so popular because of their big price. Philips, I think, begin the arriergarde of this "top", and people, who understand something in sound, choice JVC or AKAI, who close this "top". :-) If we speak about people, who want to have good sound, not only hear the noise ;-), they buy equpement in the HI-FI and HI-END shops, witch we have much now. In this case, I think, most things are like in all other countries. I can say only that after Technics (that in Russia is popular because of its small prices) goes Pioneer. It is the most popular in domain of HI-FI equpement. Of cause, people who know real good soud buy Maranz, Teac ect, i.e. all that buy so people in other countries (how I think HI-END is everywhere HI-END and not so mutch people in the world produce it). I must say only that HI-END vacuum-lamp amplifiers are produced now in Russia and they have good quality, but this is so small part of this market, that I can't say that it is real part :-( In recording studios - Tascam, Alesis, dbx... - all imported. Only 2 or 3 pieces of equipement on every studio are home made. And cables, connectors may be - things, that seem to be not very important, but everybody try to change them to imported when possible... So we live in Russia. But I can speak only about St.Petesburg, in Moskow life is much more expansive (this is the third cyty in the world in the top of most expansive cities) and in domain of professional sound everything can be not like ours - more good expansive imported equpement; in home audio, I think cannot be much difference. In other cities (far from the capital) - I know nothing about audio market there...

Both were replaced with the PR-99, which uses some parts in common, but updated electronics that were overdue or redesign, and made some things easier to service, or less expensive to manufacture in an overall better product. It's not an issue of domestic or foreign versions, as all were multi-voltage and designed to be operable from 240 V floating or other less demanding input options, and had servo capstans not frequency dependent. That's 10.5" reels, BTW. Versions would have been Mark III or Mark IV for late 60's through 1980-ish era when those were common. Terry --- Maximus 2.01wb * Origin: Do it near resonance!
