The recording capability of the Studio 8 is

not limited to 8 tracks. "Ping-

Ponging"/"Collapsing"/"Bouncing" allows you

to combine up to 7 tracks onto the remaining

blank track. You may even record additional

new material while bouncing tracks. (For

example, material recorded on tracks 1

through 4 can be collapsed to track 8.)

Many times, a way to improve your program

will become apparent as it is being recorded.

"Punch-in" gives you a way to add those last

minute ideas to your recording without redoing

the entire project. Punch-in can also be used to

correct any mistakes that made their way onto

the tape.

The above pages were scanned from the 388 Studio-8's Operation/Maintenance

manual.

My 388 still works fine (as far as I can tell). I have an Alexis "Quadraverb" as my

effects generator and use a compressor in line with microphones. I also use 2 "Aural

Exciters" to make any input tape material more "life-like" as well as to spice up any

microphone vocals.

I did find a great repair facility in 1996 to fix a minor problem (turned out to be a bad

IC chip). It is J. Rudy Associates, 213-215 Grant Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15209

(412-821-4605). They had 44 full-time electronic technicians then (at any given week 10

of them were off for additional schooling).
