hey, young dude 18 year old here in love with the idea of recording music on analog gear. i’ve been playing around on a digital fostex vf80, and while it’s cool, it doesn’t have the tape sound i know i truly want. so, here comes the tascam 244. i know about the tape out plugs on the back, as well as the various line outs and aux outs. but i’m not sure how exactly they work.
here’s what i’m wondering: how does one complete a mix on the machine, bouncing, panning, eq, all of this, sounds good in the phones, etc. take THAT audio and then put it into a computer. all in one go, as it sounds through the phones.
i know that if you use the tape out RCA plugs, you’ll get prefader tape tracks without the effects of eqing. this isn’t what i want, i want to mix and master inside the machine and then pull out the entire mix at the same time (as to avoid drifting if i were to do it in parts).
do i utilize line out rca plugs for this? or aux plugs? and if i wanted to do everything in the tascam 244, and then pull that tape audio out onto a computer in one go, do i need an interface?
i don’t own a tape machine yet, and i’m still in the early phases of understanding how this stuff works exactly, so i apologize if the answer is right in my face or if i’m understanding information wrong.
