I have a ton of cassettes with jam sessions I did with a drummer friend back in the early 80s, and they've held up pretty well. As soon as I get the proper interface for my laptop, I'll be transferring all of them to digital. A couple of these tapes, however, were accidentally recorded with a...

Okay, here's the deal: I recently got this laptop as a gift (specs below) Now don't get me wrong; I really appreciated getting it. As you can see, it has lots of bells and whistles, including a CD-RW... ...but there's a BIG catch: no line input (mic in only). I've been wanting to transfer...

I bought this gem with the nice brushed aluminum case a couple of years ago and it's quite nice. Very clean sound, even with the gain turned up all the way. Offhand I can't recall exactly, but I think it cost about $220.00. Is there anyone else around here who has one or has used one before...

Here's the deal: A few years ago I had a Yamaha MT8X, original version. I did a lot of recording on that machine, and for what it was, it served me very well. These days I live in Korea, where for the time being I have a TASCAM 488 mkII. Right now as I'm typing this, I'm back in Ohio for...

You know, the re-vamped Silvertone 1457, amp-in-the-case thing (the Mona, or so they call it)? I've heard they're a vast improvement over the old Silvertones. There's also a Les Paul-styled one called the Lisa. But Is the company still out there? I seem to have trouble connecting with their...

We all know that tape formats degrade over time, but what about CDs? I've heard of cases in which CDs actually fell apart. I want to know this because, before they deteriorate any further, I'd eventually like to archive all my old cassette-based recordings on some other more durable medium. Cds...

I'm overseas (hence the name), and it's surprisingly hard to come by high quality cassette tape for my TASCAM 488mkII. I don't want to use anything but the best, but apparently I'll have to order it. Long ago, I used to use Maxel XLII exclusively, but I'd like input from othersd. Which do you...

Ridiculously easy midi question (except for me, apparently): I originally posted this in the "Newbie" section, but since no one responded I'll just re-post it here. How do I add volume changes to individual sequencer tracks? For example, if I want to gradually increase the volume on a string...

Ridiculously easy midi question (except for me, apparently): How do I add volume changes to individual sequencer tracks? For example, if I want to gradually increase the volume on a string track, or fade out another track with out affecting the other tracks, what must I do? Is this something...

Hey, I recently picked up a very-slightly-used tascam 488 mkII in Pusan, Korea (It's close to where I live.) It didn't come with a manual, but since I'd previously owned a Yamaha MT8X, it was pretty easy to figure out how to use it. Here's something that's bothering me, though: I want to run...

Does this ever happen happen to YOU: Your tracking on your favorite acoustic guitar, playing up a storm, having a great ol' time, got a great groove happnin', and just LO-O-O-O-O-O-O-VIN' IT! Then you playback what you've just recorded, and... "ding-dinga-ding TICK dinga-ding TICK...

Hello from South Korea! This is my first post on this whole home recording forum thing. I'll cut to the chase - hope this doesn't sound too dumb, but here goes: As most of you know, 15 or so years ago, cassette tape manufacturers came out with the metal tape formulation. This has often been...
