    There aren’t many rewards in a discipline that is about taking the long term view but occasionally something comes up that you can take some pride in.

    Last month, Ed Summers put out a call on Mastodon: digipres.club where he was wrestling with a CD-R format that was difficult to recognize. The disks likely held precious data belonging to his late brother.

    Much of the search area had already been examined and narrowed down by folks in the community, including Misty de Meo, Roxi Ruuska, Ethan Gates, and Johan van der Knijff who all contributed suggestions and analysis..

    Ed was able to share a copy of one of his disk images, and I had some time that I could dedicate to taking a look as well.

    Long-story short, we were able to identify the disks, and Ed has written up the background here: inkdroid.org/2026/06/12/tascam

    The situation might be familiar to others: a digital file that isn’t recognized by the major file format identification tools, and yet, because of its context, you know it is something that might be important.

    I have different experiences with these types of files, sometimes they are valuable (and you want to look after them), sometimes they are not (and it can still benefit you to get rid of them). The process of finding this out often follows a similar path.

    In this instance the files turned out to be incredibly valuable and I wanted to elaborate on the path of discovery. Even though it really isn’t very sophisticated, I hope it will be helpful to those with unidentified digital records who might find the task of identifying them quite daunting.

  8. #Berlin, local pickup only: This Tascam USB Audio Interface US-366 runs on Windows 10 or so, not on Macs after OS 10.14. Available for free (almost, a chat at the door :), for somebody in need who wants to give this a new life. Send DM or #boost to interested parties. Thanks!

    Note: Bus-powered, might need a driver software. #^https://tascam.com/us/product/us-366

  10. The DR-40XP consumed a set of batteries in 4-5 days sitting on my desk. Three times. And then I realized it had a rattle. Preamps sounded good - big improvement over the prior model, and more importantly they actually shielded the mics on this model so they weren't picking up every phone within 50 feet. I could have gotten a defective unit, and I may rebuy this one, but at the moment I don't need it. #fieldrecording #sp404mkii #dr40xp #Musicproduction #tascam #roland (2/2)

  13. More levels testing on the #Tascam DP-006, this time with acoustic guitar and vocals using the condenser mics. I can get the acoustic guitar dialed in; vocals are harder, but I'll get there if I can figure out what distance from the mics to sit/stand at.
    But I'm running into a problem: Track 4 won't arm for recording at all (red light doesn't come on, Rec-only metronome doesn't run, bouncing doesn't work. I can't figure it out if there's a setting that's wrong, or if the hardware is broken.

  15. Tape machines aren't hard to build, but good tape machines are. Today, there are very few manufacturers who actually build the tape part of the tape machine - the capstan-governed transport mechanism that moves the tape past the heads. This mechanism determines almost everything about how the tape player sounds.

  17. Topping DX7s, hochauflösender D/A-Wandler im Test
    Das Thema D/A-Wandler hatte ich in diesem Podcast angerissen. Dabei geht es um Geräte, mit denen man digitale Musikdaten analog an einen Kopfhörer oder Lautsprecher übergibt, prinzipiell ein Bauteil, das jeder CD-Spieler oder Smartphone enthält, plump könnte man sie auch als Teil einer Soundkarte bezeichnen....

  18. Clubhouse, nur ein Hype oder soziales Netzwerk der Zukunft?
    In einer der letztjährigen Podcast-Episoden hat Carsten spontan gefragt, ob uns nicht jemand mal zum neuen sozialen Netzwerk Clubhouse einladen könnte, keine 24 Stunden später waren wir drin. Das Clubhouse von Alpha Exploration Co. gibt es in den USA bereits seit März 2020 und läuft...

  20. Bought a field mic over the weekend. Going to use it to record soundscapes of my favorite parks/restaurants. Also want to lay down some demo tracks.

    Ended up going with the Tascam DR-05XP.

    Maybe I'll post my soundscapes on peertube or something.

  22. 32-bit float audio recording is not a panacea

    I recently replaced a horrible, dodgy Zoom H4n with a Tascam Portacapture X8, for recording (primarily) theatre and music performances. One of the appeals was 32-bit floating-point recording which was literally promised to eliminate concerns about input levelling, clipping, and noise:

    The reality is, with 32-bit float recording you can turn on your recorder, hit record, and be 100% confident […]

  25. My TEAC 32-2B is home and operational again. Turns out it’s a rare one, actually being a Tascam X-10 disguised as a TEAC 32-2. I guess that’s why they added the “B.” It has 2 drive belts instead of 1, but the kicker is that it supports both NAB (North American) and IEC (European) EQ with a push button on the front panel. #GearHunter #MusicProduction #Analog #ReelToReel #Tascam #TEAC
