Hey everyone, This is a continuation to a thread I posted last year: https://homerecording.com/bbs/general-discussions/analog-recording-and-mixing-tape-and-gear/tascam-688-play-back-too-fast-394619/ Basically, the problem was I'd record things, and the playback would increasingly speed up over...

hey sweetbeats, thanks for your input again! i will go check out the service center and tell them about the problem and get a feel before lugging this giant piece of hardware in. canadian winters are so extreme, one day its a blizzard, next day its a blistering hot summer, and then it settles...

I dont see those speed options as available on this portastudio? All I know is I recorded on this tape speed setting, and with the pitch control at 12 o clock, and playback at the same setting is now way too fast:

Hi all, I'm having a problem with tape speed being too fast from my Tascam 688 portastudio. In this video, the first part shows the music how it's supposed to sound (From my digital workstation), and the second part shows how it sounds from the tape. It's about 2x faster. You can see me...

Hey all, I just got myself the behemoth that is the Tascam 688. After scouring through the manual, I found that the mode to record multiple inputs to their own respective tracks in is "Scene 10". However, It all seems to record to track 1 or 2. I've tried turning on other "Record...

hey all! just got myself a tascam 688 in pristine condition, barely used, and ran into an issue (which im 99% sure is newbie related, as when demonstrated by the previous owner it worked fine)! when listening to the recorded tracks through MONITOR OUT or PHONES, everything plays back fine. but...

Hey guys, What do you think of these monitors, the JVC SK-404? I have a chance to grab them for $35 each, but I wanted to check in with you guys to see what you think of them.

Someone is selling these on kijiji and they look interesting, but I cant figure out the model and the seller doesn't seem to know either. The only thing they reveal is that they are 100 W. Any ideas on what they might be?

Hey all, I'm interested in getting some EPI 100 monitors to mix and track my music on. I have read many good reviews, including an endorsement by Tore Johansson, producer of the Cardigans, who swears by them for all his projects. This in mind, I have found some for sale, refoamed, ($40...

Hey all, I haven't posted here in a while, but I'm in need of some help. I'm new to the analog recording game, being more used to the digital end of things. While I absolutely love the tones my tape machine (an AKAI GX 620, by the way) provides, when I'm running the songs I'm recording...

Hey everyone, I own an Akai GX-620 and am just trying to bring it up to speed and correct all the issues it has. The current one I'm dealing with (besides replacing the tape counter belt) is this fuzzy, almost distorted audio I'm getting when I try plugging a mic into the mic input. I'm not...

Hey all, I'm new here and new to the world of tape machines, so bare with me. I own an Akai GX-620, and recently discovered that the tape counter feature is not working. By not working, I mean it no longer counts. I resetted it to no avail. It just wont count for me, basically. Perhaps I...
