I would not cut on anything but lacquers with that system.....Far to risky.There are no short cuts i spent 6 months cutting dubs every day before i opened the doors.

Don't cut on anything except lacquer discs. If you cant use lacquer discs, you should use lacquer discs and nothing else!!!
What's your set-up??? |

I am finally about to put the system back together since i bought and moved it 60 miles. Had to rent a place for studio now as floors up in my current studio are real bouncy(1890s New England house) and i dont think i could get it up the stairs anyways.
Luckily found someone that can hook it back up and work out any issues. I sort of cut a test dub when i picked it up. Zuma and the 74 head seemed fine.
Neumann 74 rack.
I still have a learning curve to go....
but i already have a # of clients waiting for me to be ready for them.
I move it out of the storage unit monday and into the new studio.
Finished the sheetrock and just need to paint the new walls.
Just need to the cash for the tech to put it back together for me

Who is the tech?
These things are very complicated if your tech is not Al Grundy be careful because if you or he connects it up wrong it could easliy blow the head.
I would forget about the customers for now its gonna take you a while,Remember it takes a long time to get a good rep and a short time to get a bad rep.

Good luck with you set-up. I once moved a VMS70/SX74/SAL74/SP75 from New Zealand to Australia and set it up myself. I'm not familiar with the Zuma but the standard Neumann connections dont really allow you to plug the wrong thing in if its a complete Neumann system as mine was. Your system may be different. I then got an experienced tech in to fine tune it and it worked like a dream.
You are very lucky to have customers waiting - as Jason mentioned... keep them waiting until you are absolutely ready. Don't blow the head and watch those high frequencies!! |

I trust the tech as he has worked on this lathe for many years for the old owner.
Should be next week!
