Right now I've got some tapes recorded and I would like to put some effects on some of the pre-recorded tracks. I've got a reverb/delay unit running through the effects return/send, but I was wondering if theres a way I can put an effect, like delay, on just one track, permanantly. As it is...

Ok, thanks to everyone for the tremendous help already, but I've ran into another question and thought I'd ask here first before experimenting a bit. I'm recording on the Tascam 388 and getting ready to bounce tracks down to two tracks. My question is do my EQ settings stay the same when I...

Is it possible to bounce tracks and keep the panning on a 388? My band and I have been recording and we've reached the point where we need to start collapsing tracks down so we have more tracks available for guitar overdubs and such. We've got some parts that are panned hard left, and some...

I was wondering, is there anyway to adjust the tape tension, accurately without a tentelometer? I've got a tascam 388 that plays and records fine, but to rewind and fast forward you've got to manually pull the tension roller down slightly till it goes. I've bid on a Tentelometer on ebay, and...

Hi, I've recently had to fix my Tascam 388 myself, with little to no knowledge of the machine. I did fix the problem I had, but in doing so created another one. My old problem was the brake was stuck 'ON' on the take up reel, and the reel wouldn't move or play. I took it all apart, fixed that...

Hi all, I've got a 388 that is in really really great condition, it's always worked very well and done it's job %100. But a little while ago it started acting up. When you rewind the tape, sometimes it would take multiple times for the stop button to work, and sometimes it wouldn't work at all...

Hey all, I have some questions about some problems me and my friends are having with our Tascam 388. About a week or more ago, we were listening to some stuff we did, and all of a sudden the 'stop' button seemed to start working only when it wanted to, which was seldom. If we hit fastforward...

Hi, I don't own a tascam but I read this board somewhat frequently and am going to be buying one in the near near future. My question is this. I'm a drummer and I really like the whole live sound, 'Bonham' type of thing, recording in ambient rooms with great distance mic'ing techniques, high...

Hi, this is my first post here so here it goes. I have been looking into getting a reel to reel multi track recorder, and I have cruised ebay and all that, and I see some that say 8-track, and 4-track, and on all of them there is only one spot for a reel of tape. I don't know much of anything...
