I used to have the Tascam 788 Portastudio and it allowed me to Name tracks (i.e. Guitar 1, Tele 1, LesPaul 2, Snare, etc.).
My new Tascam DP-24 cannot do this.
Is there some simple, generally accepted way to keep track of all these
Tracks?
I've tried Post-a-Notes, colored stickers, etc...
Maybe I'm missing something here :
I have the Tascam 788 and I can mix down / "pre-master" on the machine using internal and external FX and then burn it to a CD.
I am seriously considering a 2488neo (more tracks=more fun, right ?).
The 2488neo claims to have "mastering effects, etc " and...
I sometimes make background OOOhhhhs using my (almost acceptable) Falcetto voice and harmonizing & doubling etc.
Often I get a very resonant booominess in the voice that I can't seem to EQ out. I can't seem to find a position on the Mic to avoid this ( I use AKG C100 and Groove Tubes MD1B...
Been using an AKG C1000 thru a Blue Tube/Blule Max into my Tascam 788 for several years now and am increasingly unhappy with my Vocals. I do lots of overdubbing/harmonies on country/blusey songs and seem to get more shrillness & distortion & mud as I blend the voices.
Anyone suggest possible...
anybody have suggestion to cure "Froggy Voice" ? I get these days when my voice just croaks - then next day it's clear, then croaky etc. It screws up my Home Studio routine - some days just can't sing. :confused:
A semi-newbie question........
I found a good working one-man-method for song writing/recording demos.
I set up a Tempo Map on my Tascam 788 Portastudio and sync my Roland TR-707 Rhythm Composer to it via MIDI.
I can then record guitars, vocals etc in sync with the Drums and go back and tweak...
I've been recording at home for years, first with a Tascam Portastudio, now with a Tascam 788 Digital Portastudio and have some mixers, drum machine, monitors, rack gear etc. and am at the point where I can make pretty good recordings by myself.
Big problem is, once I get outside of the 788...
I used to be able to record backward guitar on my old Tascam Portastudio by flipping the tape over and hearing the backing track backward, etc....it was a cool effect.
Now I have my Tascam 788 Digital portastudio and don't have a clue how to get a backward track............any advice out there...
I've been using my 788 for approx 2 1/2 years and am thinking about springing for the new 2488. Does anybody know if the mic preamps are the same for both units ????
opinions welcome
for reference: I do home recording of my songs on a Tascam 788, using a drum machine & singing/playing all instruments.
Sorry if this seems incredibly basic but..............
When I mix down (pre-mastering in Tascams parlance) it is done in REAL TIME, that is , there is no Pause control, etc...
I've been using NS-10's for years and have no experience with any other monitors in my bedroom studio.
What would you consider a healthy step up the quality ladder. My music is mostly retro 60's and country.
