I tried searching Google, but I know so little that I don't think I know how to properly ask what I am trying to figure out.
I have a Tascam 424 Mkii. A fine 4-track machine, and my first one. So, is there something you do on the Tascam before sending it onto a tape deck? Or, do I literally just record my stuff and however it is sitting on the board after having been recorded, I just send a line out into a one channel tape deck?
I'm confused, because I've heard that there's a stereo mixdown that happens.. or I don't know. I really don't even know fully what I'm supposed to be asking. I just have no idea what I need to do after I have tracks sitting on my 4 track that are ready to be on a cassette tape. I'm sorry if this is some basic booty technique but I don't know where to start with how to acquire the knowledge. I read the manual, and the manual doesn't necessarily specify the idea behind mixdown.. only how to do it if you know what a mixdown entails.
Any help appreciated, if this is the wrong forum section please notify me which section would be more appropriate. Many thanks.
