Hi, I'm fairly new to computer recording. Using nuendo 1.0, maudio 2496 and tascam 788. I was looking at the maudio delta control panels sample rates. I think it's set to something like 44.1 it goes up to something like 196. should i have this set at the highest setting? will it make a...

Hi, Using a tascam 788 - into an audiophile 24/94 (PC's running nuendo). Currently run the tascams stereo outs to the stereo ins on the a/phile. Just wondered if there would be any benefit in using the S/Pdif ?

Hi, I'm in the throws of pruchasing a new home PC. As I do a lot of home recording I want to use it for this as well as other applications. I have found the PC I want A Dell Dimension 8300 running windows XP which I can get through work at around £400 cheaper than if I bought an audio PC from a...

Thanks Trigger, That's interesting to know, I think so far I've only used Channel Dynamics - I think i'll give the Stereo Dynamics a try and report back. Yeah that's pretty much what I use the Focusrite for, It's my only stand alone Pre - I put all the vocals through it first and anything else...

Hi, recently got a 788, really like it. Not that good with compressors yet - Been reading alot and trying to learn about ratios etc. Used the dynamics on the 788 once put it over a mix made the vocals stand out quite well but made the music sound shit (Drums, bass, Clean Guitar, Crunchy lead...

Hi recording some vocal tracks this afternoon, I normally record in my bedroom a loft conversion with pitched roof and wooden floor, usually try to hang drapes around etc, Going to try either Bathroom about 7ft x 7ft quite a large window half tiled cork floor, or small bedroom 6 x 8 double...

I've done that. It's on track one and not on any of the others - As im new to digital recording i wondered if it was clipping ( i heard that sounds horrible), Maybe it was something i did when recording - The thing is though that I cloned trk 1 to trk two and it's not happening on track two...

Hi, Did my first bit of recording last night on my new 788. I recorded lead vocal on one and cloned that to track two - Everything sounded fine until i listened to the mix with headphones on - track one seemed to have some rather nasty sounds on it - It sounded a bit like when a needle jumps...

Hi, Just thought with all the tascam issues at the moment you might find this interesting. I ordered the 788 following the advice of this board. Spoke to my favourite music shop who matched the best price i'd been quoted and said they'd be happy to send the machine off to Tascam to get it...

Hi have just ordred a 788- It doesn't have the upgrade however the shop have kindley agreed to sort this out and will get it upgraded for me. I have a couple of questions. I was reading about digital work stations / recording and it was saying that there is no headroom above 0db therefore if...

Hi got a 564 thinking of upgrading to a 788. Heard there's a memory upgrade for the 788 - would a brand new unit come with this or would i still have to upgrade. Also could i midi a 788 to my 564 (564 as slave) so i could have 12 tracks. Any opinions on the 788 would be apreciated also...

thanks Gordone you are a star. I put a couple of vocal tracks through my focusrite last night - Wow a whole new world - I've still someway to go and have some serious knob twiddling to do, but the difference is astounding thanks again.

i'm not sure how to connect a compressor to my tascam 564 - there seems to a jack socket on the left at the back of unit. I think i may need one those Y ring tip leads or something. Ive tried plugging in my Focusrite trackmaster but it just makes cuts out track 1.

Hi just a quickie - I'm having diffiuclty getting vocal tracks recorded loud enough, I'm using an se electronics 2200 condensor with a focusrite P. Trackmaster into a tascam 564. The mics really nice and warm but i find it hard to get a loud enough vocal on one track - I use two tracks...
