So glad that I found your tutorial. Just seeing the cleaning and demagnetizing process is very informative. Some questions: What kind of demagnetizer is used here? Would it be strong enough for a 2 inch multitrack head? Thank you1
Thank you very much! I learned recently that the Studer company had the Annis Han-D-Mag with its own ordering number in their catalog, so it was pretty much an official standard. Kind regards and again thank you for very beautiful videos ❤️!
take a chance with second hand Nagra LB about 1 500 € in France in "le bon coin " Good luck from Paris marc ( NAGRA VI 60 th anniversary , NAGRA LB , NAGRA SNS , NAGRA IV-S , NAGRA E blue "radio france " , NAGRA III pre prototype , schoeps mk 21 , neumann km 184 ... )
If you record onto a reel on an IV-S and then play it back on a Nagra 4.2 would it still come out in stereo or would it be mono ? As I know the 4.2 is mono Thanks
The 4.2 will do a kind of mix of L and R tracks which might not always been good. For instance if there are big phase differences between the track, the sound in mono (that way) will not be great. Normally you should record and playback with similar heads. One way to avoid the issue, is to record two identical tracks on the IV-S.
Does this model have a built in compressor ? On my 4.2 i can record music with the "automatic" setting for recording level and it levels up / compresses the incoming signal. Is that possible with the 4S ? Thank you !
We've always considered this, but as the technology has changed a lot since the ones we made, we have to start all over again from scratch. This will be a huge development cost. But this is in our DNA and we always think of it... ;-)
@@NagraAudioChannel Seems to be simpler today. CAD, CNC, 3D Print in mechanic domain, Literally no-noise and dust cheap op-amps and microcontrollers make electronic part a piece of cake. Neither Kudelski nor Studer have such toys... they had "only" their genius minds :p Sometimes wondering what they are developing now, with unlimited time and budget.. ❤️
We do refurbish some. We should have some on stock today. Please write us to info@nagraaudio.com and we will send you pictures and a price (depending on the age, the shape and the options of the machine).
I strongly suggest not attempting to demagnetize the heads unless there is a known problem that is confirmed with a gauss meter. It is easy to unintentionally magnetize the heads while attempting to demagnetize them, so it is important to have a gauss meter to test for a magnetic field on a the head after going through the demagnetizing process.
hello again , take a look on youtube , Silas Bassas and Via Luce videos i make the recording with the fabulous NAGRA VI ans the very , very good SCHOEPS MK 21 REGARDS FROM PARIS marc
please don't touch with your hands take gloves please , it's better for the machine i have an old NAGRA IV-S repaired one year ago by NAGRA FRANCE francis Guerra make a beautiful work for my Nagra and i'm still recording with nagra IV-S sometimes but i used four times by week my limited edition of NAGRA VI recording classical music in Parisian church with my SCHOEPS MK 21 I stille have a LB , two nagra E (one from radio france) IS , SNS , a prototype of nagra III ?( no number serial ) nagra is the best bravo marc from paris
Unfortunately, some of the words are not clearly enunciated by the speaker. Someone who learned English as a first language should have been considered. Similar problem with the camera work - underlit, unsteady handheld, and sometimes out of focus. A professional product deserves professional presentation. (Yes my kit included a 4.2L TC mod, Steellavox.SP, AMI, and Schoeps. Sennheiser and Neuman mics.)
I’m ready for a new production model IV-S. I think the market is ready too.

Thank you for this informative program. Excellent. Be well.
Very informative, thank you.

Mr. Laflamme's one is an old version. We woud recommend this one : www.splicit.com/Tape-Head-Demagnetizer-p/thd.htm

Where can I find more information about the Nagra Analog Workshop? I would love to see more like this video, maybe on social media. Thank you!
We are working on this. You'll ear from us soon
@@NagraAudioChannel Thank you for the response, looking forward!
I would love to get a nagra machine one day 😍

There is a limiter that you can record with or without
Do you also have refurbished or used QGB for sale?
We might have some but this is rare. Please send us an e-mail to info@nagraaudio.com to register on a waiting list. Thank you
Please how do I copy flac files to tape?
Reference oscillation is 1k Hz and 10kHz together.
Tape is a new vinyl :) Are we getting to the level of interest, level of capacity of a market, that Nagra will consider restart R2R production?

You are testing the sound playing Amber Rubarth ( You will love this song ) ehh
It is the 2xHD Shirley Horn Softly master Tape copy.
Do you still sell these?

Hello Glen, sure you need to do it right but after a few very dynamic tape there is a big difference in the sound if you demagnetize the head.

Vu l accent francais de ce monsieur, il aurait mieux fait de parler directement en francais 😂

Yes it was done during a show, we will do a more professional one ASAP.
