This was with a Tascam 414 4-track.
For future reference, there IS a way to get all 4 tracks out of the 414 simultaneously.
Here's how:
Tracks 1 and 2:
- Move all of the INPUT selectors to TAPE.
- Raise the faders on channels 1 and 2.
- Pan channel 1 left. Pan channel 2 right.
- Lower the faders on channels 3-8 all the way down.*
Track 3:
- Turn all of the the MONITOR switches OFF.
- Set the EFF2/Cue switch to CUE.
- Open the Cue knob on channel strip 3.
- Turn down all the other cue knobs.*
Track 4:
- Set the DBX switch to ON or OFF, to match the way
the tape was originally made. DO NOT set it to SYNC.
- No other control settings are necessary for track 4.
It is permanently connected to Sync Out.
Adjust the channel 1 and 2 faders, and the channel 3
cue knob to match the level on track 4 (which can not
be adjusted).
* This keeps other signals out of the selected bus.
The output jacks are as follows:
Track 1 = L out
Track 2 = R out
Track 3 = EFF2/Cue out
Track 4 = Sync out
Tracks 1, 2, and 4 are on RCA outputs, but track 3 is
on a 1/4" output. So you would need at least one 1/4"
to RCA cable.
