    Newb here- Easy home recording solutions WITHOUT a computer.

    Have you looked at the possibility of used equipment? My first recorder I picked up from a local used add. It is a Tascam 788 with a CD burner two years ago. I paid $100 for the rig, it records 6 tracks at the same time onto an internal drive. My second is A Tascam US-1800 interface that I...

    upgrading my tascam 788 to version 2.02

    I was quite happy when I upgraded mine. The first time I recorded a live give was before the upgrade. I filled the original drive and was unable to get the recording off directly. I had to play it back and record it to another device. I also could not directly export a wave file to CD. Now I...

    Please verify the version is 1.07 or higher. Anything lower and the upgrade will fail. I do have the ISO and upgrade instructions. The following site has more info. 788 TIPS I'll send you a PM with links to the files.

    upgrading my tascam 788 to version 2.02

    I may be able to help. Do you have an approved CD-ROM? Also, what version do you currently have?

    Hey, my son can record the choir.

    The adapters functioned. I will be making a purpose built snake for my recorder. I also prefer soldered connections and less contact points. This was a short notice thing.. I was only able to purchase 3 adapters. The music had to be fed out of my AUX1. Everything recorded the way I expected...

    Tascam 788 exporting

    The OP did not have a compatible CD burner, do you? If not, then the only ways to get audio out of the 788 is SPDIF or analog sound. SPDIF will give you two tracks of digital output. You need to have a device that has SPDIF in. There are USB input devices that have this, such as Tascam...

    upgrading my tascam 788 to version 2.02

    If your sound card has an S/PDIF input, you can import 2 tracks at a time with that. Do not hook the SCSI to anything other then a recommended CDROM or Hard Disk. Doing so may permanently damage the Tascam.

    Hey, my son can record the choir.

    Thank you, but no. I updated my profile to show my location. Sometimes I forget to update that, other forums turn out to be places I don't want to hang out.

    Hey, my son can record the choir.

    The recording part was added on to the gig this past Monday. I picked up the 788 on Tuesday. Then spent the last 2 days learning it and best choir mic'ing options. Leaving tomorrow after work to drive 2 hours. The gig is on Saturday. Unfortunately, I do not know anyone I could borrow them from...

    Hey, my son can record the choir.

    I appologize. I misread the last sentence. My mind pictured putting that cable before the mixer. I understand the cable you describe now. I may have time to make these tomorrow. Does the mic placement sound like the correct setup? Edit: Hosa GPP-419 : looks like this will be a cheaper...

    Hey, my son can record the choir.

    The aux sends can be done pre-fader. They will give the same level out as my pre-amp gain adjustment is for the mic's. Mic A to Aux 1 and Mic B to Aux 2. These would go to channel 1 and channel 2 on the 788. I'll dig thru my kit, I believe I have 2 DI boxes with a pass thru. The 788 accepts...

    Hey, my son can record the choir.

    Hello all, thank you for sharing all the info I've been trying to process over the past few days on the forum. I am a mobile DJ/KJ that has occasionally done some live sound reinforcement. I have been doing this for about five years. I have spent a lot of time learning about gain structure...

    upgrading my tascam 788 to version 2.02

    I have just purchased a 788 with a CDRW. I am hoping that there is someone that has the latest upgrade. Mine already has version 2.00.
