sweetness! how do u like it?

the guy i bought these from said that the otari was the most professional one of all the ones he sold me.


i love it! it's all i use to record anymore. pretty simple to figure out and has a decent sound, but throw a nice mic-pre in the mix and it sounds amazing. finding tape wasn't too hard or expensive either. i have the manual somewhere, i can try and dig it up for ya!

i bought mine off a sound engineer who used to teach recording, it survived at least a decade of abuse by students and it's still going strong.

gotta love the speed and pitch features too. :cool:

nice! ya i was plan on running some things inbetween to beef up the sound, really push that tape compression. i just got a bunch of tape the dude gave me, think he said that he got some of the machines and reels from a TV or radio station? hoping that old tape has some nice character too it.

the otari seems built like a tank, def the heaviest/most diesel one of the bunch....was a bitch carrying it from my car to my crib.
