How do you record to a VCR

[fendermustang]

Was reading a reply to Blewzman in the Tascam forum when the topic of recording to VCR versus cassette tape to archive material.
How can I make a mix on my 424MKII and then save a copy to VCR??

Just run the line outs from your Tascam to the audio line ins on your VCR. Then hit record on the VCR as if you were time shifting some boob tube material. The lack of video content shouldn't upset the VCR.

When you save to a VCR, the better the VCR, the better will be what you save. I've read some stuff by others on the net and they say with the right VCR you have good stuff, as good as an ADAT, depending on your mix quality. I haven't used a VCR to do this yet. If I do, I'd probably buy a HIFI VCR or rent one to try it first.

Keep recording and mixing.

Look at the link on this sites homepage:

* A reader tests VHS to see just how good it really is.

Much is explained there.
Be relaxed about those tipa, once you get the hang of how your HiFi VCR works, you can be more relaxed about the whole thing.

The quality of the VHS tape is important too.
